Each year, Brock\u2019s new Dramatic Arts<\/a> students have to run 10 kilometres to complete their first year.<\/p>\n

But this time, they\u2019re doing it for charity.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, April 9, first-year Dramatic Arts students will join dozens of others for Both Sides of the Heart, a 10-kilometre run on the soccer fields behind Brock\u2019s Village Residence. The event will not only help students in their studies, but it will raise money for Start Me Up Niagara<\/a> and the Marlene Moser Scholarship Fund<\/a>.<\/p>\n

People may not automatically connect running and Dramatic Arts, said David Fancy, chair of the department. But acting is about being in tune with one\u2019s body.<\/p>\n

\u201cActors are the athletes of the heart. They require physical endurance and emotional stamina,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Emma Bulpin, a third-year student who had a lead role in this year\u2019s production of Phedre<\/a>, is a co-organizer. With students already running 10 kilometres, she said, it made sense to add a fundraising element.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re putting this much effort into a goal, you might as well make it a bigger goal,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The run has grown to include more than just Dramatic Arts students, she said. Brock\u2019s women\u2019s rugby and soccer teams have joined. Members of the cross-country team will participate. Students from other departments, such as Business, are also running. Anyone who would like to collect pledges can run. For more information, email Bulpin at eb08tf@brocku.ca<\/a><\/p>\n

Start Me Up Niagara is a St. Catharines-based organization that works with individuals to give them a better quality of life and level of self-sufficiency. The Marlene Moser Scholarship Fund is in memory of Marlene Moser, an associate professor of Dramatic Arts who died on Dec. 21, 2010<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The run is from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.<\/p>\n

The organizing committee is comprised of students Sarah Ashby, Meghan F\u00e9ron, Tia Pavan, Julianna Cronk and Lewis Whiteley.<\/p>\n
