SUMMARY:Pivoting to Digital: The Dance Edition
DESCRIPTION:A Pacific Legal Education & Outreach event as part of the 2021 Vancouver International Dance Festival\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nVirtual performances have carried many of us through the pandemic\, providing new ways for us to experience art\, and stay connected. But\, what are the concerns for dance artists when going virtual\, and how can you protect yourself? Dancers everywhere have made the necessary pivot to digital in order to continue to share their work whether it be through offering a livestream\, pre-recorded and purchased performance\, or more. On May 27th as part of the Vancouver International Dance Festival\, we’ll discuss the legal complexities at play when presenting digitally with Josh Martin of Company 605\, Allison Beda of A MUSE PRODUCTIONS\, and Tamar Tabori\, emerging dance / video artist. \nZoom details for this meeting will be shared through your order confirmation email from Eventbrite. Please note the access details (link\, meeting ID\, and password) upon receipt. \n  \nMeet our panelists: \nJosh Martin : Choreographer / Performer / Company 605 Artistic Co-Director: \nJosh Martin is dance maker/performer who now lives and works in Vancouver\, on the traditional\, ancestral and unceded territories of the Coast Salish Peoples.

Ms. Beda’s award winning work screens internationally at festivals\, in theaters\, on television\, in art galleries\, on billboards\, in the metro and even at the Olympic games. Her company A Muse Productions has a penchant for delightfully\, deliriously flawed characters\, and loves telling funny\, thought-provoking and subversively feminist stories about women. Allison’s first film “Know Your Alphabet” toured the world with the works of Stan Brakhage\, and is still being invited to screen internationally. \n  \nTamar Zehava Tabori – Emerging dance/video artist \nTamar Zehava Tabori is a Canadian-Israeli emerging dance artist and experimental filmmaker\, currently residing on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish peoples; the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish)\, Stó:lō and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh)\, and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations.

SUMMARY:Discoverability Webinar - Virtual Shift: Pivoting to Digital Arts and Learning
DESCRIPTION:In this panel discussion\, we will explore how organizations working in two very different contexts overcame seemingly insurmountable challenges to deliver meaningful arts experiences to students within a global pandemic. \nThe Vancouver Symphony Orchestra School of Music was one of the first music schools in the country to pivot to online learning at the onset of the pandemic. Through this panel discussion\, we will explore some of the major challenges they encountered\, ways they reached out to new virtual students\, their accomplishments as well as their plans for moving forward post-pandemic. \nOn the opposite coast\, the Labrador Creative Arts Festival faced a completely different set of challenges when shifting to an online format – from lack of reliable internet\, to connecting school communities with remote artists\, to video production from a distance and more. Throughout this discussion we will discover the steps they took to engage their students despite the odds. \nRegister Now! \nMeet the panelists: \nAngela Elster\, President & CEO\, Vancouver Symphony Orchestra \nGillian Hunter Gibbs\, Director\, VSO School of Music \nLouise Ironside\, Director\, Marketing & Communications \nTim Borlase\, Founder\, Labrador Creative Arts Festival \nSandra Broomfield\, Festival Coordinator\, Labrador Creative Arts Festival \nJamie Lewis\, Film Producer\, Labrador Creative Arts Festival \n  \nWe are grateful for the support of the Canada Council for the Arts and the Azrieli Foundation for the Discoverability Webinar Series.

SUMMARY:Intersections of Care: Dance Artists & Caregiving
DESCRIPTION:How do we shape the terms of dance work to include the realities of care work?\nHighlighting the urgent concerns of dance artists who simultaneously hold primary caregiver responsibilities for children and/or elders\, this panel presentation draws necessary attention to longstanding systemic issues in the sector\, which have been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic. The event welcomes dance artists\, arts workers\, arts organizations\, funders and others in the sector\, with the goal of working together toward supportive action and critical change. \nPanellists: Justine A. Chambers\, Lisa Emmons\, Bonnie Kim\, Diana Lopez Soto\, Victoria May\, Natasha Powell\nCo-convenors: Susie Burpee\, Tracey Norman\, Kathleen Rea\nFacilitator: P. Megan Andrews \nSunday\, April 18\, 2021\n9:00-11:00am Pacific \n10:00-12:00 Mountain \n12:00-2:00pm Eastern \n1:00-3:00pm Atlantic \nRegister Now!!  \nRegister by Apr. 18\, 2 hrs prior: ASL\, Live Auto Captioning & English-to-French simultaneous translation provided. This is a caregiver-friendly event. \nGet more details here!!  \nThis event was shaped by the valued contributions of a national artist/caregiver working group: Myriam Allard\, P. Megan Andrews\, Susie Burpee\, Justine A. Chambers\, Emily Cheung\, Allison Cummings\, Lisa Emmons\, Ming Hon\, Neena Jayarajan\, Bonnie Kim\, Julie Lebel\, Suzanne Liska\, Diana Lopez Soto\, Victoria May\, Viv Moore\, Sally Morgan\, Tracey Norman\, Bee Pallomina\, Natasha Powell\, Kathleen Rea\nCoalition Statement: The three co-convenors of this initiative acknowledge that they are white\, cis-gendered women dance artists and caregivers to children. One of the co-convenors is on the autism spectrum and identifies as being neurologically atypical. The working group process gathered a diverse group of individuals with a range of unique personal experiences to generate a complex and intersecting conversation. We are all differently implicated in and impacted by the structures and systems of power and privilege that elevate some and continue to marginalize many. We recognize that the challenges experienced by dance artist-caregivers intersect with the challenges experienced by those who are marginalized in other ways\, and that multiply-marginalized individuals experience much greater impacts. In this work\, we centre the experience of the dance artist-caregiver and come together as a coalition around this issue\, not at the expense of other issues but with sensitivity to these many intersections. We acknowledge the fundamental systems change required to reckon with and redress the deep inequities that yet prevail in the arts\, and in society generally\, and understand this initiative as a small part of that larger work. \nSupported by: Balancing Act\, CADA/East\, Canadian Dance Assembly\, Dance Ontario\, Dance Nova Scotia\, Dance Umbrella of Ontario\, Dancer Transition Resource Centre\, The Dance Centre
