"Flashback! Yes, The Erroll Starr Day!"

In 1988 Erroll Starr won a Juno for Best R&B Single solo recording with his hit song, “Angel”. “Flashback! Yes, The Erroll Starr Days!” takes the viewer back in time to Starr’s flamboyant and colourful performance days. Included are highlights from his “Temple of Love” concert at Ontario Place as well as many personal digital stills and a candid interview with Erroll in his new recording studio located in his Earthship home in Killaloe, Ontario.

"Chanson Triste"

Dorota Echavarry dances as Maria Piazza sings Henri DuParc’s first song, “Chanson Triste” written in 1868. “ Chanson Triste” was created for the summer 2006 interdisciplinary stage production of “The Love Within”. Dorota and Edwin Echavarry spent a beautiful sunny summer’s day shooting in various locations both at Morning Star Centre and the gardens of Maria Piazza and Wanda Underwood in Wilno, Ontario. We thank Maria Piazza for inspiring the creation of this video and for taking some of the digital photographs used in “Chanson Triste”.

"Dances of Vital Development"

Dances of Vital Development is a photographic montage of images highlighting the emotional and healing energy, sensousness and collective playfulness which took place at www.morningstararts.com in June of 2008.

We will also be screening a short nine minute film called "Hemp" produced by Cool Hemp and Erroll Francis and a wonderful short film called "Visiting Hilkka's Hermitage" which is a portrait of Hilkka and her art.

Following the screening we will be having our monthly open stage "Songwriter's Showcase" at 8:30 pm. Everyone welcome. And Thursday dinner is always our Dine for 9.99 special which includes salad and dessert. Reservations are a good idea. 613-756-9515.
