SUMMARY:Thinking Body Fall 2020 Online Session #2
DESCRIPTION:Please see below for more information about these sessions from instructor Isabelle Rousseau. \nI am excited to announce the Fall Session for Thinking Body online classes. \nAs some of you know\, I’ve been developing a more personal approach to the practice of the Syntonics created by Judith Koltaï\, whose own teaching stems from Thérèse Bertherat\, Françoise Mézières\, Charlotte Selver and Elsa Gindler. \nIn this class\, you will be introduced to getting feedback from your own body and letting itself rebalance through the use of “test positions” sustained in slow\, anatomically optimal positions. This accessible practice is self-regulating on the nervous system and also readily available to all. We will also spend time studying the minutiae of posture and movement coordination\, and get familiar with ways to expand range of motion with sensory input as we become more intimate with our skeleton and its properties. \nThe class is injury-free and can be practiced by all as a “prequel” to any health and training protocol\, no matter where you are on your journey to a deeper relationship to your whole self. I look forward to working with you in class. \nClasses will run from November 3rd to December 8th 2020. Classes are twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5 pm to 6 pm MT via Zoom. \nRegistration fees are $110 for 12 classes (recorded classes available if needed).  \nTo register\, please send a message to me at this address: irousseau.moveandbemoved@gmail.com

SUMMARY:ECF Funding: Community Grant Program
DESCRIPTION:The right funding opportunity is waiting for you with ECF’s Community Grant Program — all you have to do is apply. \nAS A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION\, you have specific funding needs. We support charities in the Edmonton area across many sectors\, including: \n\nHuman Services\nArts & Culture\nEducation\nEnvironment & Animal Welfare\nHealth\nSports & Recreation\n\nThe Community Grants program can support a wide range of organizational needs. We look to organizations to determine their priority areas. If you would like to discuss your organizational needs\, start with a phone call to the Edmonton Community Foundation (ECF) to discuss the online application process and eligibility requirements. \nEligibility\nCommunity Grants aim to support our community. A non-profit is eligible to apply if it serves the greater Edmonton area\, including Leduc County\, Parkland County\, Strathcona County\, and Sturgeon County. The non-profit must also have a charitable registration number from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) or be considered a qualified donee. \nIf you are not a registered charity but wish to apply for funding\, you can consider the following options: \n\nMake a formal application to CRA to become a registered charity.\nEstablish a written partnership with a registered charity that would apply for funds for the proposed project. CRA recommends that the relationship between the registered charity and the non-charitable organization be formalized and documented. Click here to visit CRA’s website for more details. Note that the opportunity to apply with a charitable partner is not meant to allow groups to circumvent CRA rules\, but rather to support genuine partnerships between charities and non-profits.\n\nApplying for a Community Grant\nIf you don’t have a recent relationship with us (successfully received a Community Grant in the last five years)\, your organization can apply for a grant up to approximately (see note) $50\,000. If you’ve worked with ECF recently (successful Community Grant approved\, completed and reported on)\, you can apply for a grant up to approximately (see note) $80\,000. \nNote: We will consider amounts slightly above these limits when there is a strong rationale. \nECF’s Two-Stage Process\nWe use a two-stage process that includes a preliminary online application\, followed by a full proposal\, if requested. This process is meant to assist applicants. For projects that are unlikely to receive funding for any reason\, it prevents the applicant organization from dedicating time and resources to a full proposal that will not be successful. It also allows our staff the chance to raise questions in the Request for Proposal letter\, helping to strengthen the final proposal\, which is reviewed by one of five sub-committees. \nPlease note: Attachments such as letters of support\, financial statements\, or testimonials are not required during the first stage. If we need more information\, we will contact the applicant. \nWhen to Submit\nWe encourage you to apply early! We have a continual intake of preliminary applications with quarterly deadlines depending on when funding is required. This allows us to review each on its own merit and respond promptly with questions and feedback. There are more opportunities to provide support for charities that apply early. This also gives you more time to write a strong proposal. We do not provide retroactive funding. \nThe annual deadlines to submit an online application are: \n\nMarch 1 for funding after June 1 (applications available December 2)\nJune 1 for funding  after September 1 (application available March 2)\nSeptember 1 for funding after December 1 (application available June 2)\nDecember 1 for funding  after March 1 (application available September 2)\n\nFor more information about Community Grants\, contact our staff at grants@ecfoundation.org or by phone at 780-426-0015. \nApply for a Community Grant\n\n\nGrant Application FAQ

SUMMARY:Oderin (NAC)
DESCRIPTION:Oderin is a new dance theatre creation based on a collection of poems by NL poet Agnes Walsh (Oderin\, Pedlar Press 2018). These exquisite poems depict Walsh’s mother’s difficult life growing up in Placentia\, Newfoundland\, then her later decline living with dementia. A tender and raw account of a personal mother – daughter relationship\, this work brings rich and complex human experiences to life through an provocative multidisciplinary collaborative lens. “These poems present a unique opportunity to put all my learning over 45 years of play-making as actor\, director and teacher into the challenge of staging these poems. Oderin explores one’s sense of duty and devotion\, the experience of resettlement\, nostalgia\, family\, landscape\, the loss of memory and self\, dementia and death […] ” – C. Tomlinson \nThis is one of two live streams taking place as part of partnership between Neighbourhood Dance Works (NDW) and NAC Dance through #DanceForth. #DanceForth is the new NAC Dance livestream project. Most Thursday evenings\, live performances will be presented by a variety of wonderful Canadian dance artists\, both from the NAC Fourth Stage and from various centres across the country. \nChoreographers and dancers with a terrific range of styles will be sharing with you directly through this series that embraces a new model to celebrate this rich and dynamic art form. Please tune in with us to discover the breadth and talent of Canada’s outstanding dance milieu. \nThis performance will be live streamed from the historic LSPU hall on November 26 at 7pm NT (3:30pm MT).  \nLearn more.

Focused on developing capacity for internal sensations this gentle and restorative movement practice is accessible to all bodies. Continuum views the body not as a mechanical object but a living process and aims to often restrictive cultural conditioning through stimulating natural undulating movements. Somatic practices have shown to be beneficial for pain\, recovery from injury\, deep relaxation and continue to be utilized to support artists in creative practice. \nAbout the Instructor\n\n\n\nAshley Johnson is a Registered Somatic Movement Educator trained in group facilitation and hands-on bodywork as a teacher of the Mitzvah Technique/Itcush Method and Continuum Movement.   She works with diverse populations in movement re-education and injury rehabilitation to shift postural patterning and increase movement efficiency.

SUMMARY:‘the prime of my life’ (Mile Zero Dance)
DESCRIPTION:This work explores the relationship between live performance and live-streamed performance – a  multidisciplinary installation with three live performances\, with each one building off the last. \nAll shows are free and can be watched from the sidewalk in front of MZD (10816–95 ST | Edmonton\, AB) or lived streamed below on: \n\nNovember 8 – 6PM MDT\nNovember 15 – 6 PM MDT\nNovember 22 – 6PM MDT\n\nAbout the Artist\nHannah Quimper-Swiderski (she/they) is an artist from Edmonton-Amiskwaciwâskahikan\, Alberta. Working primarily with video\, performance and photography\, Hannah’s work explore concepts of gender performativity\, identity and the body as a contextually loaded form. She often performs as characters\, exploring her own identity through personas and visual identities found within b-movies\, late night television\, and advertising. \nHannah has shown work in venues such as the Edmonton International Film Festival\, the Art Gallery of Alberta\, Latitude 53\, and Mile Zero Dance. She also has a background in theatre\, having been raised in the community theatre scene in rural Alberta and trained at the Foote Theatre School in Edmonton and Second City in Toronto. Hannah previously went to film school with the intention of working as a cinematographer before completing her BFA at the University of Alberta in 2019. \nArtist Statement\nWithin my practice I explore concepts of gender performativity\, identity and the body as a contextually loaded form. Within my video\, photo and performance work\, I often perform as characters\, exploring my own identity through personas and visual identities found within b-movies\, late night television\, and advertising. These range from the otherworldly (magicians\, clowns) to the archetypal (cowgirls\, news anchors\, movie stars). I am drawn to the behind-the-scenes\, often referencing the film set itself\, focusing on the constructed nature of the characters and their worlds. Through this re-presentation of reality\, I aim to reveal the uncanny within the real. \nLately\, my work has become more personal\, reflecting my own experiences growing up as a queer person in small-town Alberta. Through combinations of live performance and video\, I am exploring my complicated relationship with my own identity\, and playing with performance within real and constructed spaces.

SUMMARY:Made Up - A Dance Film Installation by Associate Artist Linnea Swan
DESCRIPTION:Dancers’ Studio West presents Made Up\, a dance film installation by 2018-2020 Associate Artist Linnea Swan.\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nProjecting images of the female body through multiple layers of tulle\, a fabric traditionally associated with the wedding gown and a dancer’s tutu\, choreographer/filmmaker Linnea Swan’s Made Up\, examines the hyperbolic feminine to question the binary construct of the male/female gaze. Working significantly with tight framing and close ups\, Swan draws the viewer to follow her own gaze\, one which is complicated by the historical impact of female subjectivity in narrative art forms. \n\n\nA word from Sasha Ivanochko\, Artistic Director of DSW: \nDancers’ Studio West just celebrated our 40th anniversary. Over the years\, the organization’s profile has shifted and our programming has varied considerably. As a result\,  I think there continues to be some confusion about who we are\, what we do and what Contemporary dance is! \nOur programming emerges from a desire to support artists at every stage of career\, while offering opportunities for the general public to deepen their appreciation of Contemporary dance. Our associated artists are encouraged to deep-dive into their questions and curiosities\, and to share their research and work as a way to support dance literacy. \nIt has been a real honour to collaborate with Linnea throughout her two-year term as Associate Artist. I’ve always been excited by the  interdisciplinary nature of her work\, and it is her experience as a filmmaker which has enabled her to transform her project when COVID-19 fell upon us. She likes to use the word “collision” when describing her process and use of materials\, which include the dancer’s body\, film and tulle fabric. And that we can present this dance film installation safely for small groups of people during this incredibly isolating pandemic is a really good feeling. \n\n\nCreated by Linnea Swan\, DSW Associate Artist \nWith collaboration by Tania Alvarado\, Nicole Charlton Goodbrand\, and Meghann Michalsky \nLighting design by Steve Isom \nPoster designed by Deanna Peters/Mutable Subject \nPromotional photo by Alexander J. Slobodian \nPR and Marketing by Aldona B. Creative \n\n\nMade Up is presented as a dance film installation in the Studio Theatre at cSPACE King Edward\, located on the west end of the ground floor of this historic building. There are multiple screening/viewing times per show date\, with a limit of ten patrons per showing. If you have any concerns with accessibility or questions regarding our health and safety protocols for this presentation\, please contact Samantha at communications@dswlive.ca. \nFor more information about Dancers’ Studio West\, visit dancersstudiowest.ca
