Each year in early April, at the Roundhouse in Vancouver, ArtStarts in Schools
hosts a showcase of performers – mostly English speaking. Due to the
growing popularity of French Immersion, however, the organizers have recognized
that there is a “critical mass” comprised of CPF chapters, school administrators
and school districts who have been keenly interested in knowing who they
could contract to perform in their schools.
L’Arsenal à musique:
Intro to classical and contemporary music. (Quebec) Suitable for primary
grades. Nice audience rapport. Use of puppetry.
http://www.arsenal.ca
Gerald Laroche: Harmonica &
storytelling. (Manitoba) Primary to secondary. A stunningly talented
musician if you appreciate the harmonica – he plays one that is ½
inch long, and one that is four feet long, plus the usual sizes. Storytelling
aspect very interesting – relates to First Nations fables and Manitoba history.
Best suited to smaller audiences with the ability to listen quietly.

Le Moulin à Musique:
All about violins (Quebec) Middle/junior to secondary. Great intro
to violins but limited topic for most elementary students. Best suited
to smaller audiences. Could be difficult to keep middle school aged
students engaged.
http://www.moulinmusique.qc.ca
Marc Tardif: Magician (Quebec)
Primary to middle school (Grade 8). Good level of audience participation
– very talented magician. French language excellent, clear to understand.
Tours often in BC.

Anne Glover: Storytelling using
string figures. (Victoria) Primary to secondary. Anne was the MC for
the French showcase so I haven’t actually seen her performance but her audience
rapport and her command of French was excellent.

Theatre de L'Aubergine: Clown
theatre (Quebec) Primary, intermediate. I thoroughly enjoyed this show
by the former artistic director of the Cirque de Soleil but I think he has
a challenging job – keeping young audiences entertained. He could work
more at involving the children in the audience which is really important.
http://www.aubergine.qc.ca
Prince Diabate: musician of
the kora (21-stringed lute); music of West Africa. (Los Angeles) Secondary.
Amazing musician – this show is definitely not suitable for the very young.
His music is sophisticated and with the traditional drums as back-up, the
feet are definitely tapping.
