SUMMARY:monolith a new work by Tia Ashley Kushniruk
DESCRIPTION:monolith\nA film by Tia Ashley Kushniruk \nStreaming live on: \n\nApril 16 — 7PM MST\nApril 17 — 2PM MST\n\nHumorous\, existential and dark\, monolith dives into a woman’s search for reason by examining the moment when she meets her maker and asks “why me?”. The film spotlights how – for so many of us – we are born into a set plan to go to school\, get a degree\, get a wife\, get a pension\, have some kids (preferably two)\, settle down\, and then live happily-ever-after\, and how that prototype of life actually does not exist. \nDeveloping the work has also been a personal exercise for Kushniruk to explore her own identity and expectations by exposing her personal juxtaposition of expectations vs. reality. This is the first time she has tackled a project of this scale and has brought on nine collaborators\, each with a skillset that is wildly different from her own\, to bring the film to light. \n“As dance artists we are often expected to be dancers\, choreographer\, rehearsal director\, producer\, sound designer\, and so on\, all in one\, so in devising this project I thought ‘why should I not bring on a team to help shape this work?’” said Tia. “It’s also important to me that artists support artists\, especially in this time of pandemic job loss. If I am in a position to offer employment to artists who I deeply admire then I’m absolutely going to do that!” \nTickets are ‘pay what you can’ with a suggested price of $15 to support programming. Those unable to purchase a ticket at this time are welcome to a free ticket. \nTicket tailor link \nhttps://buytickets.at/milezerodance/496378

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

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:Persistence of Memory (Ballet Edmonton and BWDC)
DESCRIPTION:Brian Webb Dance Company (BWDC) is thrilled to present Ballet Edmonton’s digital debut of Persistence of Memory\, a new work by Wen Wei Wang\, online May 3 – 8. \nIt has been a challenging year\, to say the least\, but Ballet Edmonton is poised to finish their season with a stunning new digital work by Artistic Director\, Wen Wei Wang. “This work is about love\, loss and distance. As this pandemic stretches on and winds its way through the whole world\, it has changed us. Imaginary chains have constrained us; even our breathing has slowed to force us to feel each moment”\, says Wen Wei. \nThis digital offering was filmed at the Ruth Carse Centre for Dance and is a digital rendering of this beautiful new work. It is also a candid look at the challenges and opportunities that presented themselves this past year. \nBrian Webb Dance Company and Ballet Edmonton have a long collaborative relationship\, and are thankful for this partnership in such a tumultuous time. “I am really excited that we are presenting this world premiere digital viewing” says Brian Webb\, BWDC Artistic Director. “It quite simply continues our collaboration to strengthen every aspect of Edmonton’s dance community. While I was really looking forward to being able to present a live performance of Persistence of Memory\, under the circumstances the creativity of our two companies have made this viewing possible for you.” \nTickets for Persistence of Memory are $15 per viewing. A link will be sent to purchasers and viewing will be available until May 8 at 11:59 MST. \nPurchase viewing here!

SUMMARY:The Experiment #5: The Coming Silence
DESCRIPTION:Calgary\, AB – ReLoCate and TRAction present Part One of The Experiment #5 with The Coming Silence a self-guided walking tour past a series of solo installations by the dance theatre company kloetzel&co. from on May 1-2\, 2021 from 3-4:30 pm on Prince’s Island Park. The event will also include an online presentation – all walkers will receive a link to this presentation after completing the walking tour. \nThe Coming Silence is a walking tour (and online presentation) that queries the divisions humans create between themselves and the rest of the biotic world. With performers precisely embodying the postures of both human and non-human animals\, the work ponders humanity’s links to other species via an eerie reenactment of the natural history museum display case. \nThe Coming Silence is crafted so that all walkers may stroll along a particular route (of approximately one kilometer) witnessing a series of solo installations (each at least 3 meters from the path).  As walkers wander through this ‘museum’\, they view subtle and/or uncanny shifts of the body as well as encounter the difficult role of being a voyeur of the taxidermic display. Walkers may start the tour at the entrance to the Chevron Learning Pathway (at the East end bridge onto the island) and progress along the pathway all the way to the Prince’s Island Bridge over Memorial Drive. All interested walkers must register online ahead of time in order for facilitators to ensure staggered start times with cohort groups only. Walkers must be masked and maintain social distancing at all times during the tour and facilitators will be on site to support such measures. \nThe Coming Silence comments on the notion of extinction\, whether through viral\, climatic or ecological means\, and highlights humanity’s ethical dilemmas in the Anthropocene. \nThe walking tour is FREE\, but all walkers must register for a start time. Please register here: https://forms.gle/LafxdYg5PzpRyRSG9. The walking tour will be paired with a virtual presentation that can be viewed after the tour. A link to this virtual presentation will be sent to registrants by email after each tour. \n*Please note that this tour follows a dirt pathway. \nWe acknowledge the support of the Canada Council for the Arts and the Alberta Foundation for the Arts.

SUMMARY:The 25th Festival de Jerez
DESCRIPTION:May 6th – May 22nd \nDon’t miss out on this once-in-a-life-time opportunity to watch live streaming of some of the performances of this world renowned festival. \nCELEBRATING 25 YEARS AS THE WORLD’S GREATEST FLAMENCO FESTIVAL\nThe Festival de Jerez is the foremost Flamenco and Spanish Dance Festival in the world. In 2021\, it celebrates its landmark 25th edition\, making it one of the longest-running festivals of its kind\, but this year\, the Festival de Jerez faces a new\, unprecedented challenge. \nWith the COVID-19 global pandemic still looming\, the festival administration decided to move this year’s edition to May instead of its usual dates in February and March and also to reduce the number of productions it normally presents. Moreover to protect the well-being of artists\, staff and audience the theatre capacity was reduced to 50%. The festival of Jerez usually hosts a large international contingency that flood the city Jerez de la Frontera to attend the festival’s courses and performance. Due to travel restrictions this contingency will be missed and as such the festival has partnered with two different platforms to show live streaming of its performances. This will be a once in a lifetime opportunity to see some of Spain’s finest performers in their newest product from the comfort and safety of home\, wherever home is. \nFor more information and Festival performances links click here

SUMMARY:REELING: Dance on Screen
DESCRIPTION:May 13th – May 29th  \nREELING: Dance on Screen is a series of  film screenings presented by Mile Zero Dance\, every second year. Each time the breadth\, scope\, and quality improves greatly along with technical knowhow\, as the form expands and more filmmakers become aware of dance as a viable medium. \nDancers across the planet have been working within constraints as they make work\, alone at home or in vast locations. This year’s curation has a strong theme of cultural representation\, and many of the selected pieces carry support for Black Lives Matter or involve dancers existing and occupying city spaces\, and are from countries including Brazil\, Cuba\, Tokyo\, Nigeria and more! \nWith over 1\,000 international submissions received in 2021\, our judges and curators are very excited to share their favorite selection of dance films that celebrate diverse bodies and abilities\, dances that take over buildings and environments\, and dances that take minimalism and the body to new artistic levels. \nAlso as part of the festival\, local film maker Shawn Tse will host two open panel discussions on Facebook to discuss the evolving medium of dance on film. Everyone is welcome! \nSchedule of Events\nPanel Discussions\n\nLocal filmmaker Shawn Tse will also host two open panel discussions on Facebook to discuss the evolving medium of dance on film.

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.
