A big thank-you to Franco-Manitoban artists Andrina Turenne and Daniel Peloquin-Hopfner for creating the original soundtrack for the games.
Andrina Turenne is a singer and musician from Winnipeg. She writes and performs songs rooted in her Francophone background and everyday life.
Daniel Péloquin-Hopfner is an artist from the Manitoba prairies. A multi-instrumentalist, he draws inspiration from wide open spaces and the stories they hold.
Voices
The audio descriptions were recorded by two Théâtre Cercle Molière employees, Charlotte Gacougnolle and Auréna Ré. Their voices guide students as they explore the photos and characters. For each production, they describe the image, draw attention to certain details and end with an open-ended question to encourage observation, imagination and reflection.
Passionate about theatre and the arts in general, Charlotte Gacougnolle enjoys exploring Winnipeg’s arts scene and being surprised by the city’s rich cultural offerings.
Auréna Ré is a Franco-Manitoban artist, actor, voice actor and storyteller whose work explores identity, oral traditions and cultural hybridity.
Education Advisory Committee
Thank you to the Education Advisory Committee, made up of members from the Bureau de l’education française, the Division scolaire franco-manitobaine and the Division scolaire Louis-Riel, whose advice and reflections guided the development of the games. Their input helped shape a resource that is playful, accessible and well suited to the classroom.
