The Party Place Timmins offers the locals a much needed party place alternative for their children's birthdays. Here, WE run the party so you can sit back, relax and enjoy watching your kids have an awesome time!
The Party Place Timmins also allows me (Alisa) to offers unique and creative Paper Mache Creature Making Workshops and Fun Art Classes for all ages.
I believe in fun, creativity, and showmanship (or showwomanship)! I also believe that people are not giving visual arts enough credit as a "profession". Not all artists are starving - have you seen the credits for AVATAR!
My workshops and art classes are all about fun, unique projects - even people who are just interested in dabbling in art will find that their techniques will improve drastically - and they'll have a really cool finished project to brag about!
Growing up in Timmins, Ontario, I spent my youth creating things. Drawing, painting, paper-mache, clay; You name it, I was into it!
After graduating high school, I moved to Toronto where I attended Ontario College of Art, and then moved to Oakville for the Sheridan College "Technical Theatre Arts Program".
I then worked at Research Casting International, the industry leader in dinosaur & artifact reproduction. Here I honed my skills working on projects for such notable clients as Disney World The Animal Kingdom in Florida, Universal Studio Florida & Los Angeles, Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park Lost World Traveling exhibit, The Museum of Natural History in New York, The Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, and many more!
I then began my freelance journey into the television & feature film industry, where I worked on a variety of projects including David Cronenberg's feature film "eXistenZ", and the hit children's t.v. program Kratt's Creatures' "Zaboomafoo". I also worked on numerous t.v. commercials for Sears, Clearnet (now known as Telus), Cadbury, Disney T.V., Eaton's, Canadian Tire, Radio Shack, Listerine, Bell Canada .....ya there's more but I would rather you read the rest of the Website instead!
I've since worked on a number of successful independent projects, including the concept development and production of a new theme dessert cafe called :Desserts Please!"; Set production for Cyndi Lauper's Toronto Concert '99; Headed the special f/x and prostheses for the independent short film "Rubber" by David Dupont; And sculpted a 6' long life-like fiberglass Raptor (yes, the dinosaur) for the Toronto Raptors (yes, the basketball team).
Now I have started The Party Place Timmins to share my dedication to creativity, innovation, and entertainment with YOU!
