SUMMARY:POSTPONED – The Beginning of Happiness
DESCRIPTION:GWDC and FEMME Vocal Quartet have joined forces to bring to light contemporary female perspectives on domestic violence in the world premiere of The Beginning of Happiness by Edmonton Composer\, Jane Berry\, choreographed by GWDC\, and performed by FEMME and GWDC. \nThis show features a new 60-minute choral work by Jane Berry that gives voice to the issue of violence against women. \nBerry developed original text and music for this project which features four musicians and four dancers working together to create a multidisciplinary experience\, with live ASL interpretation provided by Nicole Sanders. \n  \nTwo all-female collectives join forces to bring to light contemporary female perspectives on domestic violence\nEdmonton’s FEMME Vocal Quartet and Good Women Dance Collective premiere a new work uniting choral music and dance \n(March 2020 – Edmonton) FEMME\, an all-female vocal quartet\, and Good Women Dance Collective (GWDC)\, an all-female contemporary dance collective have collaborated to explore and reflect upon violence against women in the world premiere of The Beginning of Happiness by Edmonton Composer\, Jane Berry\, choreographed by GWDC\, and performed by FEMME and GWDC. \nIn the age of #MeToo\, we are reminded that domestic violence continues to be a widespread reality\, and both FEMME and GWDC feel it is vitally important that they use their skills and privilege as artists to bring awareness to this issue. \nThis show features a new 60 minute choral work by Berry that gives voice to the issue of violence against women. Berry developed original text and music for this project which features four musicians and four dancers working together to create a multidisciplinary experience\, with live ASL interpretation provided by Nicole Sanders. While the composition draws on Berry’s experience with domestic violence\, the work encourages performers to bring their own thoughts into the work so that their own personal experiences are included in the show. \nThis isn’t the first time that GWDC has incorporated choral music into their work. In April 2016\, Good Women Dance Collective\, New Music Edmonton\, and Pro Coro Canada collaborated for a run of David Lang’s Love Fail. Love Fail and The Beginning of Happiness alike draw upon an inherent power that comes from unifying voices and bodies through the modalities of a cappella choral singing and contemporary dance to share stories of female experience. Both collectives are thrilled to be working with this strong and talented group of women on this innovative performance. \nThe Beginning of Happiness is presented in partnership with WIN House\, an organization whose purpose is to give victims the hope and help they need to overcome domestic abuse. WIN House representatives will be available after all performances\, including the talk back on March 27\, to engage in a dialogue with the audience about the work and the issues surrounding this topic. \nIn sharing these stories\, FEMME and GWDC aim to reduce stigma and increase dialogue surrounding domestic abuse and sexual assault. \nTickets are available at Tix on the Square. Seating is limited\, please book in advance.\n$25 General\, $15 Student/Senior/CADA Members\n25% of the house will be held for pay-what-you-will tickets at the door. \nFEMME is a female vocal quartet comprised of Dawn Bailey\, Jane Berry\, Sable Chan\, and Amy Voyer. Their mandate is to amplify the voices of women by performing work written by women. FEMME wishes to create a performance space for females singing at a professional level and give voice to underrepresented female perspectives in the world of classical repertoire. \nGood Women Dance Collective (GWDC) is a creation-based movement company comprised of Ainsley Hillyard\, Alison Kause\, Alida Kendell and Kate Stashko. GWDC is committed to supporting a vibrant and sustainable contemporary dance community in Edmonton by creating\, commissioning and producing innovative new works.
