SUMMARY:Calgary Arts Development: Project Grant Program – Individuals and Collectives
DESCRIPTION:Project Grant Program – Individuals and Collectives\n\nDEADLINE JULY 27\, 2020 \n\n\nResults\nGuidelines\nTerms of Reference\nPolicies\n\nDeadline: July 27\, 2020\, 4:30pm MDT\nApplications Open: June 1\, 2020\nDownload Guidelines as a PDF \nProgram Overview\nThis program is intended to provide one-time project funding to individual artists and artistic collectives in Calgary working in any artistic discipline who pursue a professional practice. This program is not open to arts administrators or cultural workers. \nThis program supports projects that strengthen our artistic communities and ensures that citizens of Calgary (known as Mohkinstsis in Blackfoot) can experience what they have to offer. \nProjects may include the creation\, development\, production\, or presentation of artistic work. Applicants may also apply for mentorship\, professional or career development projects. Projects or expenses related to post-secondary\, credit or diploma granting programs and institutions are not eligible. \nThis program cannot fund projects retroactively. Projects which will be fully completed before the deadline of July 27\, 2020 are not eligible and those funded through this program should be completed by December 31\, 2021. \nApplicants may request up to $10\,000 to cover almost any expense related to their project. Total funding available for this program is $750\,000. \n \nProgram Update\nDue to COVID-19 the Project Grant Program was put on hold while the community investment team shifted focus to developing and administering short-term relief funding to the community throughout April and May. \nBased on a combination of program evaluation undertaken between January and March of 2020 through internal evaluation\, public surveys\, and feedback sessions\, along with consideration for the current circumstances surrounding the pandemic\, we have adapted this year’s Project Grant Program guidelines and process. \nKey program changes are: \n\nThe program will be assessed in one phase this year\, as opposed to the two phase process adapted in previous years. This decision was made in order to get funding out more quickly in 2020\, since the program was delayed by two months.\nThe total pool of funding available was reduced to $750\,000 from $850\,000 as $100\,000 was reallocated to short-term relief funding for individual artists.\nThe maximum request amount was reduced to $10\,000 from $15\,000 as there is such significant need in the sector at this time and we would like to see more artists supported through the program.\n\nProgram Timeline\nJanuary – March 2020: Program evaluation and design\nJune 1\, 2020: Project Grant Program applications open\nJuly 27\, 2020\, 4:30pm MDT: Application deadline\nAugust – September 2020: Assessment period\nSeptember 2020: Notification of results and funds released \n \nAccommodation and Accessibility\nCalgary Arts Development is committed to open\, fair and transparent processes. While we may not be able to meet in person at the current moment\, our team will be available to answer questions and offer support during the application process either over the phone\, through email\, or through the use of audio and video platforms. \nPlease see the program FAQs for answers to common questions\, and contact the program specialist as early as you can to ensure they can provide the best support possible. Staff can provide feedback up to one week before application deadlines. \nWe will work one-on-one with applicants who experience barriers to access to develop accommodations that suit their abilities. Some examples of accommodations are: \n\nTranslation of written materials\nGrant writing assistance\nTranscription\nVideo or audio applications\nInterpretation for phone or video meetings (note: this will depend on the availability of external service agencies)\n\nReference Documents\nFrequently Asked Questions\nBudget Template\nGroup Agreements\nFinal Report Requirements \nPlease note that Calgary Arts Development staff are continuing to work remotely. \nIf you have any questions about this program please review the Project Grant Program – Individuals and Collectives FAQsor contact Taylor Poitras\, Specialist\, Individuals and Collectives Programs\, at taylor.poitras@calgaryartsdevelopment.comor 403.264.5330 ext.215 through voicemail.

SUMMARY:Kaeja d'Dance: Porch View Dances 2020 (Online!)
DESCRIPTION:Traditionally\, PVD pairs professional choreographers with community members to reveal stories of lives lived through original dances performed on their front porches and yards.\n\nFor 2020\, we have invited all of our past Porch View Dances choreographers to bring their own personal stories alive on their porches\, balconies\, and front yards. You are guaranteed an intimate view of who these brilliant artists are\, as they unearth and capture this moment in time with their families and co-habitants.\n\nThere will also be a special spotlight on father/son duo Jim & Owen Adams who have been part of the PVD family for the past three years!\n​\nThe livestreamed premiere of these works will be hosted by the one and only Maurycy and will be followed by a live interactive Flock Landing\, led by the fabulous Lilia Leon\, that you are invited to witness or to Dance With Us! Lilia will be joined by Mateo Galindo Torres\, Josh Murphy\, Mio Sakamoto and Irma Villafuerte.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Kaeja d’Dance for an online iteration of PVD. This livestream will premiere 16 NEW commissions – short dance videos made by some of this community’s amazing choreographers\, an audience-participatory Flock Landing and a Q & A!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChoreographers commissioned for PVD 2020 – Online:\nKate Alton\, Julia Aplin\, Nova Bhattacharya\, Barbara Bourget & Jay Hirabayashi\, Michael Caldwell & Louis Laberge-Côté\, Peter Chin\, Lauren Cook\, Allison Cummings\, Aria Evans\, Maxine Heppner\, Shannon Litzenberger\, Pulga Muchochoma\, Andrea Nann\, Yvonne Ng\, Kevin Ormsby\, Kathleen Rea.\n\nPorch View Dances was conceived by Karen Kaeja and developed with Allen Kaeja.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGET YOUR TICKETS!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA note from Karen Kaeja (creator of Porch View Dances):\n\nI am constantly pairing inspiration and intention. The pandemic has blasted open our imaginations of what Porch View Dances could become this year. After weaving our way through many ideas since lockdown\, we’ve landed on what we are really excited about and remains at the heart of PVD. Connection\, love\, community\, and everyday life with ‘real people dancing in real spaces’ are still all at the centre of this years PVD. Our PVD2020: Online integrates the brilliance of all our past and present PVD choreographers in Toronto and Etobicoke from over our 9 years. We are commissioning 2-minute videos from our choreographers\, to create intimate portraits with their family members or those they live with\, out into the world on their porches and front yards. They’ll be bringing the story they are inhabiting at this time out into the world\, some on porches and others in spaces of importance in their homes. We’ll have a live online Flock Landing with 5 dancers as well that we invite you to join if you wish in the comfort of wherever you are. We’ll also have an audience/artist Q and A that you are welcome to stay online for at the end.\n\nReally looking forward to these commissioned GEMS highlighting so many of Toronto’s incredible dance artist’s inspirational lives.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Dancers' Studio West: The Quick + Dirty Festival
DESCRIPTION:Our 40th anniversary year has been full of shifts and surprises\, and this time we have a surprise! Dancers’ Studio West is pleased to launch the first ever Quick + Dirty Film Festival! \nAs a measured response to the quarantine restrictions we are living with\, we have redirected the resources for our Creative Intensive and Quick + Dirty Festival to create a pilot program with a dance on screen focus. Q+D 2020 artists Meghann Michalsky\, Jocelyn Mah\, Nicole Charlton Goodbrand\, Jeannie Vandekerkhove\, and Marynia Fekecz have re-conceived their original proposals and\, with the mentorship of Linnea Swan and Jacob Niedzwiecki\, will create short dance films for the small screen! We feel deeply blessed and excited to have Jacob and Linnea as guest mentors. \nDance on screen is about much\, much more than just putting dance on a screen. Each artist in the program has been challenged to shift their perspective and sensibilities as artists whose bodies of work primarily focus on the live space. \nThe Quick + Dirty Film Festival is a PWYC\, on-demand online event from July 31st – August 15th 2020.  \nSign up via Eventbrite to receive the link and instructions for your dance film experience.  \nWhat this transition to the virtual world holds… you’ll have to see for yourself! \nWith love\, popcorn\, and a glass of wine\,\nDancers’ Studio West

SUMMARY:AB Dance Relaunch: Implementing the Provincial Recommendations (Zoom® Meeting)
DESCRIPTION:Community members have been sharing with us their plans for relaunching in the fall and others have been wondering what that ought to look like. We are going to open the floor for sharing ideas\, pivoting strategies\, anxieties\, and largely clarifying how members of Alberta’s dance community are implementing the provincial guidelines for relaunch in addition to what they feel is necessary for their particular practice or environment/venue. On Friday\, July 31st from 1-3 p.m.\, join us for a community discussion around relaunching dance in Alberta. Click here for more information and to register! \n\n\nThe Questions:\n\n• What has the process been for you or your organization to “stay working” for relaunch\, including policy/process\, budget\, and contracts?\n\n• How are you anticipating adjusted timelines for rehearsals and/or performances?\n\n• What barriers or course corrections have you experienced with implementing your relaunch\, balancing provincial guidelines with your community’s habits/concerns?\n\n• Are you preparing for a second wave of economic shutdown and another relaunch? (How would you hope to improve upon this first cycle of shutdown and relaunch?)\n\n\n\n\nAGENDA\n\n1:00 p.m. MDT – Welcome and introduction from Bobbi Westman and Nicholas Mayne (ADA)\n 1:10 p.m. MDT – Response from our guests about their relaunch experiences (suggested order):\n\nCheryl Ewing (and Possibly Cliff Le Jeune) (Dance Nova Scotia\, Halifax) (Cheryl can join us for an hour only)\nNatalie & James Gnam (Left of Main\, Vancouver)\nClaire French (Membership/Outreach Coordinator: The Dance Centre\, Vancouver)\nJoanne Baker (Dance School Principal/Arts-In-Education Coordinator: Decidedly Jazz Danceworks\, Calgary)\n\n\n2:00 p.m. MDT – Questions and discussion from the floor\, with remaining time until 3 p.m. MDT at the latest\, facilitated by Bobbi and Nicholas.\n3:00 p.m. MDT – Meeting Ends\n\nIn addition to the Alberta Guidelines for Dance\, when considering the relaunching your season\, use the excellent Experience Economy Study to help guide your considerations and process. Click on the links for information specific to All of Alberta\, Edmonton and area\, and for Calgary and area. Additionally\, we would like to share the following announcement directly from CADA/West of another essential reference resource at this time: \n“CADA/West and the Canadian Dance Assembly worked together to create an English version of the Informal Survey for Dance Artists on Conditions for Reopening Studio Activities conducted by Montreal’s Les Réservoirs with the collaboration of Circuit-Est centre chorégraphique. Please take a look at the document and let [CADA/West] know what you think via email.” \n  \nA session for sharing how Alberta’s individuals and organizations in dance (for-profit and non-profit) are taking responsibility for meeting the relaunch guidelines set out by the Alberta government: https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/covid-19-information-guidance-for-live-music-dance-and-theatre \nPlease join us if you are interested in contributing your ideas and questions about how the relaunch of dance (in its many forms and environments) in Alberta ought to look under the provincial guidelines. \nThe information from the government is intentionally sparse and general so that citizens can meet the guidelines in a way that fits their practice and environment. The Alberta Dance Alliance recognizes that this lack of specificity has created some anxiety and uncertainty in our community. Therefore\, we are offering this community Zoom® meeting as a safe place for people to hear and to share with others the choices that members of our community are making to protect themselves and others if they’ve decided to return to work. \nPlease register in advance\, so we can tailor the experience to those who are planning on attending. Please inform us if you would like to join but are experiencing accessibility barriers to this community discussion and we will do our best to accommodate you.

These individuals believed they had a responsiblity to educate the community about Caribbean culture because they wanted the community to know that the culture was more than just food and music. The Association was eventually renamed to The Caribbean Community Council of Calgary. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Growth\nCarifest grew year after year to become the city’s largest festival! Attendees such as the Prime Minister\, dignitaries from other countries and international artists have all travelled to take part of the festivities.Carifest effectively raised the inquisitiveness of the community with more than 20\,000 attending the Sunshine Market during Saturday’s event. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe First Festival\n\nThe CanCarib acquired all the resources they needed to organize the first festival which was held at Prince’s Island Park. During that time they did not receive assistance from the City of Calgary. It was the idea of the CanCarib Board of Directors that each Caribbean island should showcase their culture — and that was how Carifest was born! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCommunity Connection\n\nCarifest became the vehicle used to begin a healthy relationship between the Caribbean community and the Calgary Police Service. A few Carifest executives were requested to provide strategies to new recruits on maintaining a healthy relationship with the Caribbean community.

SUMMARY:MZD: IN LIEU: Ben Gorodetsky & Larissa Poho
DESCRIPTION:photo Joanne Gervais\nIN LIEU: Ben Gorodetsky & Larissa Poho\nAugust 15th | 7:00 PM Mountain Time\nOn Zoom\nFree\, or Pay What You Will \nIn lieu of their cancelled dance-theatre performance Biblioteka (march 2020) at Mile Zero Dance\, Ben Gorodetsky and Larissa Poho present IN LIEU. \nFEATURING:\nDolik’s Clothes – 12 minutes\, 2020\nA video-dance-eulogy by Ben Gorodetsky.\n“My grandfather Dolik Lutsky died on April 3\, 2020. We were unable to gather for his funeral\, left to sort through our grief alone. One small relief was my grandmother mailing me a box of his clothes. Using these garments as performance artifacts I’ve created a digital video piece reimagining grieving rituals in the age of COVID. I explore the ceremony of wearing Dolik’s clothes and reactivating the narrative\, cultural\, and physical threads of his life. Soviet oral histories provide textual counterpoint to the dance video created through aerial drone photography. Country roads and lakes frame this physical score exploring grief and memory.”\nCommissioned by Dancing on the Edge Festival \nLarissa Poho plays a solo set of songs and stories from her deep well of Ukrainian folkloric tradition. \nAN IMPROVISED DUET WITH A SWAMP\nLarissa will play violin and accordion. Ben will broadcast live from the swamp near his house. A site-specific\, movement and music improvisation for a digital audience of people and a live audience of frogs.

Funding will focus on events\, festivals\, programs and projects delivered in innovative and creative ways that align with public health measures. \n\n“Our non-profit and community organizations deliver programs and services that enhance the quality of life of Albertans. At the height of the pandemic\, we focused grant funding on front-line organizations providing critical services to Albertans\, but now we can focus again on projects that improve and enrich our communities. We are thrilled to relaunch the Community Initiatives Program Project-Based grant to support Alberta’s non-profits in their important work to rebuild social connections in our communities and support Alberta’s economic recovery.” \nLeela Sharon Aheer\, Minister of Culture\, Multiculturalism and Status of Women\n\n\n“As a non-profit organization operating sport facilities in the City of Edmonton\, we have always valued the Community Initiatives Project-Based grant program. With relaunch\, we could apply to the program for funds to acquire disinfectant machines to improve safety conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic at all of our indoor facilities\, along with computer upgrades to handle a new reservation system.” \nAdrian Newman\, CEO\, Edmonton Soccer Association Facilities\n\n\n“This funding program has helped GlobalFest launch a number of community-based\, innovative projects over the years. We are thrilled that Alberta’s government has reintroduced this invaluable funding opportunity to support organizations throughout our province.” \nKen Goosen\, producer & CFO\, GlobalFest \n\nThe Community Initiatives Program Project-Based grant was paused in May to reallocate funds to help struggling front-line charities and non-profits maintain their core operations and provide services during the COVID-19 pandemic. \nAlberta’s Recovery Plan is a bold\, ambitious long-term strategy to build\, diversify\, and create tens of thousands of jobs now. By building schools\, roads and other core infrastructure we are benefiting our communities. By diversifying our economy and attracting investment with Canada’s most competitive tax environment\, we are putting Alberta on a path for a generation of growth. Alberta came together to save lives by flattening the curve and now we must do the same to save livelihoods\, grow and thrive. \nQuick facts\n\nAlberta has more than 26\,000 non-profit organizations.\nCommunity grants programs provide essential funding to about 800 of these organizations.\nEach year\, 1.6 million Albertans provide more than 262 million volunteer hours to support the non-profit and voluntary sector.\nNon-profit institutions contribute $5.6 billion to the economy every year.\nThe volunteer organizations and non-profits the ministry supports play a significant role in the quality of life of Albertans by helping them remain physically and mentally\n\n\n\nRelated information | Renseignements connexes (en anglais seulement)\n\nCommunity Initiatives Program (CIP) Project-Based grant\n\n\n\n\nReprise du financement des projets communautaires\nLe gouvernement de l’Alberta rouvre le volet des subventions de projets du Programme d’initiatives communautaires pour soutenir la reprise économique et créer des liens sociaux.\nLes organismes communautaires et sans but lucratif de l’Alberta ont jusqu’au 15 septembre pour présenter une demande de subvention dans le cadre du Programme d’initiatives communautaires\, qui vise à favoriser la santé et le dynamisme des communautés de l’Alberta. Le financement sera axé sur les événements\, les festivals\, les programmes et les projets mis en œuvre de façon novatrice et créative\, en harmonie avec les mesures de santé publique en vigueur. \n\n« Nos organismes communautaires et sans but lucratif offrent des programmes et des services qui améliorent la qualité de vie des Albertains et des Albertaines. Au plus fort de la pandémie\, nous avons concentré le financement des subventions à l’intention des organismes de première ligne qui fournissent des services essentiels à la population albertaine\, mais nous pouvons maintenant recommencer à financer des projets qui améliorent et enrichissent nos communautés. Nous sommes ravis de soutenir la reprise économique de notre province en relançant le volet des subventions de projets du Programme d’initiatives communautaires afin de soutenir les organismes sans but lucratif de l’Alberta dans leur important travail qui consiste à stimuler la création de liens sociaux au sein de nos communautés. » \nLeela Sharon Aheer\, ministre de la Culture\, du Multiculturalisme et de la Condition féminine\n\n\n« En tant qu’organisme sans but lucratif qui exploite des installations sportives dans la ville d’Edmonton\, nous avons toujours apprécié les subventions de projets du Programme d’initiatives communautaires. Grâce à la relance\, nous avons pu demander des fonds pour acquérir des machines de désinfection qui amélioreront les conditions de sécurité causées par la pandémie de COVID-19 dans toutes nos installations intérieures. Nous pourrons aussi procéder à la mise à niveau de notre matériel informatique\, ce qui nous aidera à gérer un nouveau système de réservation. » \nAdrian Newman\, directeur général\, Edmonton Soccer Association Facilities\n\n\n« Ce programme de financement a aidé GlobalFest à lancer des projets communautaires novateurs au fil des ans. Nous sommes ravis que le gouvernement de l’Alberta ait remis en œuvre cette précieuse possibilité de financement qui soutient les organismes de toute la province.» \nKen Goosen\, producteur et directeur financier\, GlobalFest  \n\nLa subvention de projets du Programme d’initiatives communautaires a été interrompue en mai dernier afin de réaffecter les fonds pour aider les organismes de bienfaisance et sans but lucratif de première ligne en difficulté à maintenir leurs activités de base et à fournir des services pendant la pandémie de COVID-19. \nLe plan de relance de l’Alberta est une stratégie à long terme audacieuse et ambitieuse qui vise à créer\, à diversifier et à consolider des dizaines de milliers d’emplois\, dès aujourd’hui. La construction d’écoles\, de routes et d’autres installations de base profite à nos collectivités. En diversifiant notre économie et en attirant des investissements grâce à l’environnement fiscal le plus concurrentiel au Canada\, nous mettons l’Alberta sur la voie de la croissance. L’Alberta s’est unie pour sauver des vies en aplatissant la courbe et nous devons maintenant faire de même pour sauver nos moyens de subsistance\, et pour croître et prospérer. \nEn bref\n\nL’Alberta compte plus de 26 000 organismes sans but lucratif.\nChaque année\, les programmes de subventions communautaires fournissent un financement essentiel à environ 800 d’entre eux.\nLes établissements sans but lucratif contribuent 5\,6 milliards de dollars par an à l’économie.\nLes organismes bénévoles et les organismes sans but lucratif que le ministère soutient jouent un rôle important dans la qualité de vie des Albertains et des Albertaines en les aidant à rester en bonne santé physique et mentale.

SUMMARY:GWDC: Season Launch (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Ainsley Hillyard\, Alison Kause\, Alida Kendell\, and Kate Stashko of Good Women Dance Collective (GWDC) invite you to celebrate the launch of their most memorable season yet!  \n\n\n  \n\n\nContemporary dancer and co-founder of Montreal’s Wants&Needs Danse\, Sasha Kleinplatz\, will be joining GWDC’s 2020/21 season for Convergence 2021—the collective’s annual show that highlights various works from different artists including Dustin Stamp\, a fancy dancer from Saddle Lake Cree Nation\, and guests; and a collaboration between GWDC and poet and spoken word artist\, Brandon Wint.  \n\n\n  \n\n\nSeason 2020/21 also features an exciting collaboration between FEMME\, an all-female vocal quartet\, and GWDC in which they reflect upon domestic abuse during the world premiere of The Beginning of Happiness by Edmonton composer\, Jane Berry\, choreographed by GWDC\, and performed by FEMME and GWDC. 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. \n\n\n  \n\n\n“In these uncertain times\, GWDC is excited to continue supporting the creation of new work by courageous and curious artists from across Canada. We are all learning quickly and becoming more adaptable and agile—pivoting has multiple meanings for dance in the 2020/21 season and we are excited by the transformative possibilities that can arise out of uncertainty.”   \n\n\n  \n\n\nIn between each production\, Canadian artists Anastassiia La Musa\, Lebogang Disele\, Krista Lin\, Erin Pettifor\, Nina Milanovski\, and Larissa Pohoreski will be completing residencies at GWDC’s new space located within the Shumka Dance Centre\, just a six-minute walk from their previous studio at The Ruth Carse Centre for Dance.  \n\n\n  \n\n\nGWDC will be kicking off Season 2020/21 with a virtual celebration on September 15th from 7 to 8 pm via Facebook live. The night will feature interviews and brief performances by Lebogang Disele\, Deviani Bonilla\, Phany Peeña\, Larissa Pohoreski\, Jane Berry\, Brandon Wint\, Erin Pettifor\, and Nina Milanovski\, as well as a DJ dance party. All are invited to attend.
