![]() ![]() Nothing that was written or said at the time of Chanie’s death suggests that he was physically or sexually abused while he was boarding at Cecilia Jeffrey. Wasacase had attended residential schools as a child and taught in residential schools at Birtle and Norway House, Manitoba, before becoming a vocational counsellor with Indian Affairs in Winnipeg. By 1960, the number of Aboriginal students in Canada attending “non-Indian schools” (9,479) was equal to the number living in residential schools (9,471).Ĭolin Wasacase, a Cree/Saulteaux from the Ochopowace Band east of Regina, was in charge of the 150 children boarding at Cecilia Jeffrey. The Indian Act had been amended in 1951 so the federal government could arrange with the provincial governments and school boards to have Aboriginal students educated in public schools. According to a detailed story about Chanie’s death published in Maclean’s in February, 1967, he was one of about 150 Aboriginal students who lived there while they were going to the public school.Īt the time, Chanie and the other children from remote reserves in the region were attending public schools because of a major shift in government policy. However, most of what is written and shown in these accounts about the tragic death of an Ojibway boy named Chanie Wenjack – an alleged victim of the residential school system whose frozen body was found curled up beside railway tracks in northwestern Ontario on the morning of Octoseveral days after he ran away from a former Indian residential school where he was boarding – is patently untrue.Ĭontrary to what children are being taught in Secret Path, 12-year-old Chanie was actually attending a public school in Kenora at the time of his death and only boarded at the nearby former Cecilia Jeffrey Indian Residential School, which was operated by the Presbyterian Church of Canada. It too is being widely used in Canadian classrooms. Celebrated Canadian author Joseph Boyden penned a novella on the same subject titled Wenjack. Downie also recorded a music album of the same name and an animated version of the story aired on CBC.

Each of the characters in Conjure the Spirits is steeped in melodrama. But as enigmas are probed and facades begin to drop, the horror of the truth of everyone's matters threatens to reopen old wounds and expose personal secrets. In short, a haughty and mysterious host has invited five guests to his ominous abode to participate in a seance. The story of Conjure the Spirits grows more fascinating once the actual play within the play is underway. For those perceiving phantasms who catch on, it may take on the appearance of a magician explaining exactly how an illusion is done before performing it and mesmerizing the crowd anyway. This portion feels like a voyeuristic view of a theater workshop, gathering each actor's character and placing them through their motivations, actions, and developments. The dialogue is spitting and brisk, each actor commentating on their own role and handing off to the next in fluid motion, with the outlines rapid-firing so swiftly that one may not have time to absorb and comprehend a segment before the next unfurls. In a bit of a Cliffs Notes format, the players work through the beats of the story that is to be told-though it may not be apparent yet to the audience. The lobby serves as an introduction to the personalities and characteristics of each actor, but this blends into a walkthrough as the setting moves into the black box theater itself. Stopping short of properly engaging the guests, the actors nonetheless establish an ambiance of the unnatural, and it comes off oddly entertaining! ![]() Perhaps that's nerves, or perhaps it's the ghostly subject matter being a little too true to life, as the actors gesticulate and motion toward the seemingly invisible audience interspersed all around them. There's an apparent nervousness about this show they are about to put on. But first, they have to go through their paces. It seems they're rehearsing their upcoming show-a show within the show that is the actual show that the ghostly guests will soon see. One by one, the players in this supernatural play manifest from different corners, appearing behind and to the side of the audience apparitions gathered in the space. They're a clue into the bit of a meta experience that will soon unfold. The walls are plastered with posters of past Zombie Joe's productions-some of which Zombie references while still in his apparent trance. Through this semi-immersive mode, guests filter into the ZJU lobby, where Zombie joins the group and reads out trigger warnings and general house rules in character. Instead, it's the audience who are the spirits being conjured to a playhouse to witness the behavior of the actors! Guests probably expect to be attending a show where the actors participate in a seance to call out and interact with ghostly specters. He calls forth to the supernatural realm, summoning them to our earthly coil, and that is when the first realization of a role reversal transpires. He stumbles slowly ahead, moving toward the street, seemingly ignoring the crowd assembled before the ZJU entrance, transfixed upon invisible figures along Lankershim Blvd. Rather than file into the lobby to make their way into the black box theater space, the audience is greeted outside by Zombie Joe himself, emerging from the mysterious interior, eyes gazing blankly forward and almost devoid of their usual ebullience. The surprises come almost immediately from the start of the show. That said, Conjure the Spirits certainly offers its own unique flair about things, mixed in with certain more unnerving and unhinged elements of Zombie Joe's shows that we've come to expect and love. ![]() It's not that Zombie Joe's doesn't produce linear storyline plays-we loved Attack of the Rotting Corpses last fall-but our experience has usually focused on their more abstract and performance art pieces. Our love and fascination of this theater house have by and large stemmed from their more disconnected, grotesque, minimal-dialogue, vignette-based shows like Urban Death, Blood Alley, and even their more recent hit, Cabaret Macabre. This is almost literally, because while it may be most famous in our spooky circles for its October Urban Death: Tour of Terror extravaganza, this North Hollywood theater troupe actually puts on shows year-round! Their latest offering comes from first-time ZJU writer and director, Hiro Korsgaard, called Conjure the Spirits, and it's a unique production even by Zombie Joe's standards!Ĭonjure the Spirits is a rarer "talkie" among most of the shows we've seen at ZJU. Zombie Joe's Underground Theatre, North Hollywood, CAįebruary might seem a little early in the year for a Zombie Joe show review, but much like Halloween is for haunted attraction fans, Zombie Joe's Underground Theatre is 365 days a year. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Optimizes and tweaks your internet connection and network settings Tweaks Microsoft Internet Explorer browser settings IP Switcher can switch between different network settings easily Edits the Hosts file to speed up system surfing internet Wi-Fi Manager can view and manage all your wireless network.
