Tyson Houseman- Beyond the Picket Line Students Protest Tuition Hikes

Beyond the Picket
How Artists are Tackling the Tuition Issue

Colin Harris — March 12, 2012 |
Activism can be visualized in bodies dressed in red, rippling waves of movement and free cookies. Because that’s exactly what happened for an hour on the first floor the EV building; a small student performance inclined passers-by to stop and watch and inevitably take part in the strike debate.

Since their vote on March 2, Fine Arts students have been proving that there’s much more to this strike than picket lines. Groups of students have been meeting regularly to coordinate demonstrations, coming together based on their desire to inform their fellow students about how big this issue really is.

Using a performative way of garnering attention shows what fine arts students can do while on strike, under pressure,” said Theatre Performance student Tyson Houseman, who organized the workshop/performance. “It’s how we can be constructive about this, and get the word out.”

Dressed in red and lining the corridor in front of the York amphitheatre, dozens of students read Hippolytus in unison, a text that is required reading for the course.

The standoff ended in a majority vote to cancel the class, which turned into an open session between students and their professor. The session allowed striking students to learn without crossing picket lines, becoming a consensus-led discussion between professor and students.

All the while, other students blocked access to the auditorium five floors below.

Tyson Houseman Keynote Speaker WAYBC

Member of the pack

By HEATHER CAMPBELL, FOR THE SUDBURY STAR

Getting the role of Quil Ateara in the Twilight movie saga turbo-charged young Tyson Houseman's acting career.

Houseman was the keynote speaker at the Waubetek Aboriginal Youth Business Conference last week at the Radisson Hotel. Aboriginal youth from across northeastern Ontario attended workshops on starting their own business.
Houseman doesn't have a profound message to share other than to go after your dreams.
"I had just moved to Vancouver after high school, broke and looking for work, when I found the casting call on Craigslist," said Houseman. "I never felt like I had a chance, but that's what helped.
"I never put pressure on myself and never had any expectations."
Houseman says his first day on the set was nerve-wracking, but everyone was very welcoming and gracious.

To prepare the 'wolf pack' for Twilight, the five members spent every day working out together with a personal trainer and bonding as a unit.
His life as Quil has brought many opportunities, including meeting his high school crush, lead singer Emily Haines for Metric, a Canadian band that was featured on the soundtrack for Twilight. But the biggest benefit is a major leap into a successful career in film.
Although attending university in Montreal for acting, he continues to travel all over the world with the pack for Twilight conventions.
Houseman comes from entertainment roots though; his father, comedian Howie Miller -- who joined him as the opening act for his keynote address -- had his four sons watch him build his career as a comic.
Miller was nominated for a Gemini award in 2009 for the sketch comedy show Caution: May Contain Nuts, and has performed with Russell Peters.

Only a teenager when Tyson was born, Miller jokes that "his mother and I are the poster children for teenage pregnancy. See what happened to us, our son is a movie star."

But Miller is very proud of how his son has handled the instant fame and has steered away from the turbulent road that some young new actors follow.
"When Tyson wanted to change to the arts in high school, we were butting heads. Didn't like the part of town it was in, but it was his choice. It ended up being great for him," said Miller.
"We are so proud of his groundedness."
