Oasis' 'Art of Rock n' Roll' class hard at work printing custom posters with members from Toronto's favourite band, Bonjay. Students are designing and printing original silk screen posters for the band to take on tour with them in the UK. Stay tuned to see the final results!
This semester Oasis was one of the lucky schools selected to take part in the TDSB Aboriginal Arts Based Project. Students worked with J'net AyAy Qwa Yak Sheelth Cavanagh, a textile artist and educator to learn about First Nations history in Canada and the power of art. Using applique and paint, students created their own interpretations of West coast First Nations art and the results were amazing!
If you are interested in art and performance opportunities but are struggling inside or outside of the classroom, our program may be the answer.

We would like to invite you to a very important event coming up for Oasis Alternative School for Arts and Social Change!
This semester's drama production class has been working on a new play about teen relationships and a staged reading by Oasis students in collaboration with guest Toronto actors is going to happen at Theatre Passe Muraille on Thursday January 13th at 2:00pm. The play is comprised of student writing and discussion around the topic of relationships and includes statements, poems, songs and scenes. Guest Toronto Actors will be joining the students for the play reading as well as sharing some of their own work related to the topic. It's going to be a thought provoking and community building afternoon. Please join us!
Please pass this information on to anyone you know who might be interested in attending. Admission is free. Our priority is to get a supportive audience for the youth who will be presenting. If you know of a University class, student group, community or arts group who might be interested in attending, please do let us know.
If you have any questions or comments, contact Jocelyn at 416-393-9830 or jocelyn.wickett@tdsb.on.ca. Thank you so much, and hope to see you there! Sincerely, Jocelyn
