CONNECTING MEMBERS - KAITLYN ADAIR, FREDERICTON

Kaitlyn moved from Fredericton in 2011 to Vancouver, BC to study acting for film in television and pursue a nursing career on the Downtown Eastside.  

In Vancouver she got amazing experiences studying with many acting teachers taking classes in Fitzmaurice Voice work, Meisner, audition craft, performers mastery and scene study. She appeared in television, commercial, and theatre roles while working at the supervised injection site as a nurse.

Although grateful for the opportunities, she felt drawn to performance as a healing modality. She started studying acting through feminine archetypes as an exploration of self-expression and connection as a form of activism. She starting writing and performing pieces driven by her lived experience and personal needs for healing.

She moved back to Fredericton in July to allow more space for creativity, connection, expression, and healing. She is excited to get involved with the NB Film Co-op again and looks forward to acting in future projects.

KEN FOSTER

Directed by JOSH LANER 

2016 / CANADA / 94 MINUTES / ENGLISH

The Vancouver street artist Ken Foster is a fixture on the mean streets of Gastown, a district legendary for its community of broken souls. Foster paints what he sees. He paints it boldly and he paints it fast. Partly this is due to his technique: images spring from him like thoughts, the city transfigured into stark visions. But it is also part of his survival strategy: Foster is a schizophrenic crack addict, and he has chosen to live with his demons as a condition of his art. A documentary as fascinating and uncompromising as it subject.
