HERE’S A RECAP
Robin Clipsham who is an actor, director, writer, and theatre educator, has spent most of her life in theatre and has a great love of improv theatre. In her presentation, “Improv for Adults - No Wrong Answers" our members engaged in a number of fun improvisational group activity games and learned about the ways to open, maintain brain function and increase relaxation. A group of five bold PROBUS volunteers assisted Robin and did a fabulous job by demonstrating how some of the improv games worked. Our amazing volunteers were: Catherine Whittle, Eke Van der Zee, Susan Merriman, Brian Davidson and Frank Morris.
Guest Speaker – June 16
DR. MIKE DALEY
“The Gordon Lightfoot Story”
Gordon Lightfoot is a Canadian treasure. His indelible songs -- classics like “Sundown,” “If You Could Read My Mind,” and “The Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald” -- are now part of the national cultural fabric. The Gordon Lightfoot Story is a lecture-concert featuring Dr. Mike Daley performing some of Gord's most beloved songs and telling his story from his Orillia upbringing to his early years on the Toronto folk scene, his rise to stardom, and his long string of hit records.
About Dr. Mike Daley:
Dr. Mike Daley is a freelance popular music history lecturer around Toronto. He holds a PhD in musicology and has published widely on a variety of musical subjects. Mike's well-received lectures on 20th century popular music have gained him a strong following in the GTA. He regularly offers six-week courses at Church of the Redeemer in Toronto. Mike is currently writing a history of live music in the Yorkville coffee house district of Toronto in the 1950s and 1960s.
