SUMMARY:Participation in the Arts - Stage 4 (EAC)
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, February 10\, 1-2pm \nSince the start of the Pandemic\, the EAC and other partners have been working with market researchers Stone Olafson to track people’s ever shifting attitudes towards engagement\, activity and the response to COVID. The results have been tremendously enlightening\, especially as we watch Edmontonians’ response gradually shift away from trends in the rest of the province. The latest stage of this report covers November and December\, when numbers spiked and a new wave of measures swept the province. To hear more about how Albertans are feeling about arts engagement now\, register for this free online session by emailing grants@edmontonarts.ca.

An informal showing will take place on Friday\, May 21st.

Prepare to question and be questioned\, to explore\, to collaborate\, and to find new and exciting pathways and processes for you and your work. \nAPPLICATION REQUIREMENTS\n\nA brief artist statement or biography\nA description of the ideas/interests you are exploring in the creative process for your current project (IE: tell us about the piece you’ll be working on at the Creative Incubator!)\nA brief explanation to the following questions:\n\nWhy are you interested in this specific creative format?\nWhat do you intend to achieve throughout the workshop?\nWhat is the next step in your creation?\n\n\nDetails about any large props and/or equipment you will be working with\nExamples of past or present work (IE: YouTube/Vimeo links\, website\, photo gallery\, script\, sound file or link\, etc).

However\, if this commitment is a barrier for you\, please indicate this in your submission and we will collaborate on solutions that benefit you and the other participants in the program while allowing for different types of engagement. \nGWDC is an equity-seeking organization: We support and encourage the sharing of space and stories from all bodies\, lands and histories\, many of which have yet to be experienced on our stages and in our studios. We acknowledge this and actively strive to change it. Feel free to contact us via email with any questions you may have prior to submitting your application.

SUMMARY:Part 1 ~ UNGANISHA: Explore.Connect.Dance.
DESCRIPTION:Exploring the importance of African origins in popular dance genres\, this dance theatre production is a not-to-be-missed highlight for the 2021 Black History Month celebration. \nUNGANISHA\, a Swahili word for “connection\,” invites all to share\, learn and connect through the beauty and diversity of African arts and culture. On February 13 and 20\, 2021 we are thrilled to be spotlighting some of the city’s best dance performers and choreographers while educating our audience about the lesser-known origins of popular dance forms in a two-part digital dance spectacle. We are revisiting our first-ever UNGANISHA production from 2018 to commemorate our 2021 UNGANISHA theme of “Rebirth.” \nThrough movement and storytelling of an interstellar love story\, an all-Calgary team of dancers\, actors\, and choreographers journey through Tap\, Jazz\, Hip-hop\, Samba\, Capoeira\, Step\, Afro-Cuban\, Afro-Caribbean\, and Salsa to celebrate their genesis\, their contemporary popularity\, and their ability to connect people across cultures and continents. UNGANISHA identifies each style as owing to African traditions while distinctly belonging to modern popular culture to focus on the creative possibilities that emerge when different peoples\, cultures\, and artistic traditions intermingle.
