SUMMARY:This Is My Vulva
DESCRIPTION:This Is My Vulva\n																														 \n\n	Date & Time:\n\n			May 3\n	  @\n3:00 pm\n	  –\n4:30 pm\n	\n					\n									Tickets\n					 \nA Bold\, Embodied Performance Reclaiming the Stories We Were Never Taught to Tell \nCollingwood\, Ontario – May 3 – This Is My Vulva is a powerful and provocative performance that brings the voices of twelve women into the spotlight through story\, movement\, and cultural reflection. Blending intimate narrative with contemporary dance\, the production invites audiences into a rarely spoken conversation—one that challenges shame\, dismantles silence\, and celebrates bodily autonomy. \nEach vignette explores a woman’s relationship with her vulva—at times celebratory\, at times complex\, raw\, humorous\, or deeply moving. These stories are embodied by dancers Catherine Lafond and Jodi Behan\, who interpret each narrative through expressive\, emotionally resonant movement\, giving physical form to what is often hidden or suppressed. \nWoven between the vignettes\, Fran Bouwman—artist\, educator\, comedian\, and founder of Viva la Flying Vulva—offers historical and contemporary context\, situating the personal stories within a broader cultural framework. Her reflections illuminate how social conditioning\, language\, medicine\, and media have shaped our relationships to our bodies—and how reclamation begins with curiosity and compassion. \nThis Is My Vulva is not about shock value. It is about truth-telling. It is intimate without being insular\, educational without being didactic\, and radical in its simplicity: naming what has long been left unnamed. \n“This work creates space for honesty\,” says Bouwman. “When we bring these stories into the light\, we begin to loosen the grip of shame—and that has a ripple effect far beyond the stage.”The production welcomes people of all genders\, offering an entry point into conversations about body literacy\, self-worth\, and collective healing. Audiences can expect a performance that is thoughtful\, emotionally rich\, and quietly revolutionary. \nhttps://simcoestreettheatre.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/99ef2969-c5d6-451b-be03-003eee966844_480p_vertical.mp4		 \nPatron Parking\n																\n															 \nParking at 65 Simcoe is reserved for building tenants.

SUMMARY:Nate Leipciger Holocaust Survivor
DESCRIPTION:Nate Leipciger Holocaust Survivor\n																														 \n\n	Date & Time:\n\n			May 20\n	  @\n4:00 pm\n	  –\n5:30 pm\n	\n					\n									Register\n					 \nThe Southern Georgian Bay Jewish Community and the Collingwood Public Library invite the community to a special speaking engagement with Holocaust survivor and educator Nate Leipciger for Jewish Heritage Month Event. \nBorn in Chorzów\, Poland on February 28\, 1928\, Nate Leipciger was nine years old when the German army invaded Poland in 1939. His family was forced from their home and relocated to Sosnowiec\, which became a de facto ghetto. Eventually deported to Auschwitz\, Nate was separated from his mother and sister\, whom he never saw again. Through courage\, resilience\, and the determination of his father—who managed to keep Nate by his side—he survived a succession of Nazi concentration camps including Auschwitz-Birkenau\, Funfteichen\, Gross-Rosen\, Flossenbürg\, Leonberg\, Mühldorf am Inn\, and Waldlager. \nNate and his father were liberated on May 2\, 1945. In 1948\, they immigrated to Canada\, where Nate built a life rooted in family\, community\, and education. He later married Bernice\, and together they raised a family that now includes children\, grandchildren\, and great-grandchildren. \nFor more than 30 years\, Nate has dedicated himself to Holocaust education and remembrance. He co-founded the Toronto Holocaust Education and Memorial Centre and has participated in Canada’s March of the Living for more than two decades\, sharing his testimony with students and communities across the country. \nIn recognition of his lifelong commitment to education and human rights\, Nate has received the Meritorious Service Medal and the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers from the Governor General of Canada\, as well as an Honorary Doctorate of Laws. \nJoin us as Nate shares his remarkable story and reflects on the enduring importance of remembrance\, education\, and confronting hatred and extremism in all its forms. \nPatron Parking\n																\n															 \nParking at 65 Simcoe is reserved for building tenants.
