SaskScapes – The B.E.A.T.S. Program

/2 Comments/in , , , , /by

Recognize, improvise, adapt and thrive.

Those are the key skills which lay the ground work for a phenomenal program in North Battleford called B.E.A.T.S. (Building Expression and Awareness Through Theatre and Sound). Alan Corbeil, a North Battleford social worker, created this program in partnership with the Living Sky School Division and the Prairie North Health Region.  The program targets at-risk youth and teaches them the skills that set  a course for a future full of hope. B.E.A.T.S. uses creativity to tap into each of the participant’s gifts, and the result is proof in this episode. Kevin Power is joined by Alan along with Holly (artistic director), and two of the programs success stories – Talia and Sereta.  You’ll be truly touched by just how articulate, dynamic and confident these two young girls are, and they both credit the B.E.A.T.S. program for their newly found sense of self.

SaskScapes – with guest Jeffery Straker

/in , , , /by

SaskScapes turns 70 and what better way to celebrate than with the man who has provided the theme music for the podcast since episode one. Saskatchewan born singer/songwriter Jeffery Straker has established himself as one of the most successful (and busiest) artists this province has produced, and has gone on to international acclaim.  Kevin Power joins Jeffery in a conversation that is more fun than two people ought to have in a podcast!  And, it’s another “6 degrees” moment as Jeffery reveals his musical lineage which connects him to Beethoven and Chopin. Even Jeffery is part of Taron Cochran’s 6-degrees world.

SaskScapes – “6 degrees of Taron”

/in , , , /by

If you ever find yourself playing a Saskatchewan music trivia game you’ll want this guy on your team! And if you are ever in search of the perfect Saskatchewanian to be the subject of a “6 degrees of separation” game, well look no further! Taron Cochrane has received many accolades in our province and it’s likely because every cell of his being vibrates with the Saskatchewan music scene. But beyond that, Taron tirelessly gives of his time and talents in so many ways; driven by passion, motivation, community involvement, and volunteerism.

SaskScapes – with guest Lynda Haverstock

/in , , , /by

Season two has launched and it’s great to be back! It promises to be another great season traveling Saskatchewan and sharing your stories.  I can’t think of a better way to start this season than with my guest Lynda Haverstock.  Lynda shares stories from her younger life, musical life, public life, and yes, personal life. Named in 2000 as Saskatchewan’s 19th Lieutenant Governor, Lynda is arguably one of the most influential people in this province. This episode has all of the humor, humilty, passion, integrity and honesty that I’ve come to expect from Lynda. And we wouldn’t want her any other way!
