SUMMARY:Project InTandem: Double-Bill Dance Production
DESCRIPTION:The Calgary based contemporary dance collective Project InTandem returns to stage to tour their works Deep END by Meghann Michalsky and moving through\, it all amounts to something by Sylvie Moquin to the 2021 “Chutzpah! Festival” in Vancouver\, BC and at the Jeanne & Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre in Camrose\, AB. \nThis double-bill will consist of a quartet\, choreographed by Moquin\, and a quintet\, choreographed by Michalsky. Sylvie’s work explores neuroplasticity and the rewiring of self; her choreography is visceral and gravity-defying. Meghann’s work focuses on primal movement aesthetics\, exploring raw physicality in correlation to a spiritual rebirth.  \nThe all female cast embodies the bold\, risk-taking and athletic physicality that Project InTandem is known for. A must-see event\, this highly anticipated double-bill celebrates feminine prowess. \n“As female artists who are boldly venturing to make waves in the prairie region\, we view the Project InTandem platform as a vehicle to express our voices and enrich our community. We are passionate about sharing Calgarian contemporary dance with our neighbours through this tour.”

SUMMARY:Chat & Chew
DESCRIPTION:A monthly grassroots gathering for the collective re-imagining of an equitable and just future for the arts in Calgary. \nWe want to invite you into an initiative that started up in Calgary in June 2020. A number of us see the importance of keeping equity\, diversity\, inclusion\, and accessibility (EDIA) concerns front and centre as we go through so much change everywhere including the arts sector. Gatherings will be facilitated by the Cultural Instigators (CI)*. Once a month we will gather to collectively discuss topics of EDIA through an anti-racist lens to get grassroots ideas and actions going. Have a question or a proposal for future conversation topics and themes? Send an e-mail to citizenartistsyyc@gmail.com. \nUPCOMING TOPIC \nSeptember 21 from 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm | Are you ready to hear the truth? \nThe day before Treaty 7 Day\, the Indigenous led spiral of the Cultural Instigators–Kelli Morningbull\, Riel Manywounds\, Jarret Twoyoungmen and Jared Tailfeathers–invite you to listen to invited elders and community speak on how to honour Every Child Matters in practice. \nThe current number of children found at Residential schools is 6\,509+. As Indigenous nations and families continue to investigate\, grieve\, and finally bring their lost family home\, those responsible have yet to be charged for these crimes against humanity. Next month\, there will be a change of policy makers. What will they be doing to effect change and hold the government and church accountable? \nAre you ready to hear the truth about a legacy of extraction and colonialism on the stolen lands of Indigenous peoples\, where settlers now occupy with Treaty? \nCultural Instigators (CI) is an initiative to support artists involved in building equity\, diversity\, inclusion and accessibility in their work to organize and to create artistic projects that build the community’s capacity to confront social issues\, through an anti-racist framework. CI is funded by but not led by Calgary Arts Development. \nRSVP via Eventbrite to receive links\, meeting reminders\, plus topic details: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/chat-chew-are-you-ready-to-hear-the-truth-tickets-170085810237

The C&E plan includes commitments to increasing support for artists and arts professionals from Indigenous and equity-seeking communities. \nArtists can apply to any Edmonton Arts Council program\, but many also face systemic\, historical\, cultural and/or language barriers to accessing support. This program invests in these artists so they may pursue their artistic work\, advance their skills\, develop and strengthen connections to the broader Edmonton arts community. \nThis program is one way the Edmonton Arts Council pursues our commitments in Connections & Exchanges.

This includes\, but is not limited to\, groups whose members are treated differently because of systemic barriers that disadvantage people based on their Indigenous heritage\, the colour of their skin\, their disabilities\, sexual orientation and identity\, and/or immigration status. \nThis program has three distinct streams\, each with its own evaluation criteria and assessment process. Artists may only submit to one stream. \nStream 1: Exploration and Experimentation\nThese $5\,000 grants support an artist to work on solo creation\, experimentation\, or research. \nStream 2: Skills and Career Development\nThese grants of up to $10\,000 support professional development projects for individual artists and collectives. \nStream 3: Major Artist-Driven Projects\nThese grants of up to $25\,000 support artist-initiated projects created by individual artists and collectives \nLevel of Support\n \n\nA combined total of up to $500\,000 will be allocated to the three Streams in this program \nApplication Format \nYour application will be submitted through our online system at eacawards.fluidreview.com. The EAC supports applicants as much as possible to overcome barriers that prevent them from submitting an application\, including language\, ability\, and access a computer or an internet connection. \n\nPlease contact us at grants@edmontonarts.ca or 780-424-2787 if you require assistance in completing your application. \nDownload the Guidelines \nPlease note that these are the guidelines for the 2020 deadline.

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. In his ongoing career as an interpreter and collaborator\, he has worked with many dance companies and independent choreographers such as: Justine A. Chambers\, Dana Gingras (Animals of Distinction)\, Wen Wei Wang (Wen Wei Dance)\, Tiffany Tregarthen and David Raymond (Out Innerspace Dance Theatre)\, and more. In his own choreographic practice\, Josh’s independent work has been presented all across Canada as well as in the USA\, Costa Rica\, Japan\, Singapore\, Taiwan\, China\, Hungary\, and throughout Germany. For over 10 years\, Josh has been an Artistic Co-Director of Company 605\, a Vancouver-based arts organization creating and producing new works through a collaborative process\, regularly touring its expanding repertoire throughout Canada and Internationally. \n  \nAllison Beda: Director/Producer A MUSE PRODUCTIONS \nAllison Beda’s artistic practice delves into the personal\, examines passion and obsession\, often poetically exploring the intersection of cinema\, dance and “narrative” (which is sometimes documentary)\, resulting in bold and unique films.

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.
