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

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.
