IT'S PARTY TIME!!!

Valley Wind Productions is proud to present a celebration of performing arts in Ottawa. Coming in late March, WINDRUSH will be a day of activities surrounding a mixed-performance showcase in the late afternoon. It's an opportunity for creative professionals in Ottawa to reconnect with friends you haven't seen since the last production you worked on together, perform for your peers, network, and just have a great time supporting and celebrating the local scene.

But we can't celebrate performing arts without the help of the performing artists and that means we need you. Go to the new WINDRUSH 2010 page to find out how you can get involved.

GENERAL AUDITIONS 2010!

A new year is upon us and that means a new opportunity for actors to join us in upcoming productions. This year, Valley Wind Productions expects to produce at least three short movies as well as co-produce up to another dozen and delve into theatre this fall. Our larger-scale production, PANDEMIC, is set to test the boundaries of story-telling in a changing industry - and is guaranteed to provide a challenge to the actors involved.

Auditions will be held the last two weekends of January (23, 24, 30, 31) and we have diverse casting needs so everybody is encouraged to come out. Go to the Auditions / Acting page for full details and send us off an email right away so you don't miss out! See you there.

Valley Wind Productions and Orleans Taekwondo to host Fight Training workshop for Actor this March!

Actors are occasionally put in the position of performing physical activities in their roles. Most commonly, they have to fall down, but they could also have to dive to the ground, punch, kick, or "receive" punches and kicks. For some scenes, like fights, you'll also be expected to learn and remember a series of moves that encompass all of the above. And when you do, it's important to do so convincingly. More importantly, it's important to be able to do so safely and minimize the risk of injury to yourself and others.

Our workshop is a similar routine to what we put our own actors through, refined after our experience in Untamed Lands and Legend of Oz, covered in such a way as to make it a valuable skill for you to take forward in your professional career. Go to our Actor Services page for the full details.
