A Welcome Welcome to the 20th annual SummerWorks Theatre Festival. Toronto’s Indie Theatre and Arts Festival. Over the past three years, SummerWorks has evolved from an indie-theatre festival to an indie-arts festival. I believe that it’s important to continue to explore the necessity and relevance of the theatrical form: how can it contribute, reflect and parallel the world we’re living in? I became interested in what happens to the form when directly paralleled with other forms. Call it a social experi- ment, if you will – a laboratory on relevance and learning. Where do our forms intersect, and how can we use this to our advantage? We’ve been really excited by the results of this evolution, and this year’s Festival continues to build on these principles. Our Theatre line-up is very exciting. The work is strong, diverse, and brave. We also welcome four very impressive shows from outside Ontario in our National Series. See them all if you can. You won’t be disappointed. What are the ingredients that enable certain musicians to fill rooms and create that rare, emotional electricity? There are some obvious answers like: alcohol and rowdy behaviour – but there are also layers to this question that are connected to the visceral nature of the form. This year’s Music Series is the best yet. I hope you’ll take it in. The new Performance Bar brings three different art forms together on the same stage nightly over the course of the Festival. The glue? The National Theatre of the World. These are three of the smartest, most talented perfor- mance improvisers in the city, and they are hosting what they call: Fiasco Playhouse. This is their canvas to allow absolutely anything to happen. Every evening will be entirely different, endlessly strange and totally original. We began SummerWalks last year as means of finding a new point of connection. SummerWorks takes place on the Queen West Strip, but what the hell is the Queen West Strip? What is this land, and how are we in relation- ship to it? This year, we’ll continue to explore our own identities by reflecting on the identity of the land we’re in, on, and around. As we get older, we tend to get really serious about everything. In an attempt at foiling adulthood, the new Playground, helmed by designer Beth Kates and Ben Chiasson, with free events curated by Natasha Greenblatt and Cara Gee, blends adult ideas while encouraging child-like-curiosities. Look also for Beth and Ben’s Festival- wide installation, connecting our four venues. Adult and real children welcome! Welcome to the Festival. Try to behave. But not too much.

Created by the Parliament of Canada as a Centennial project during the 1960s, the NAC has become Canada’s foremost showcase for the performing arts. Today the NAC works with thousands of artists from across Canada and around the world and collaborates with dozens of arts organizations across the country. The NAC is strongly committed to being a leader and innovator in each of the performing arts fields in which it works: classical music, English theatre, French theatre, dance, and variety and community programming. It is also at the forefront of youth and education activities, supporting programs for young and emerging artists, presenting programs for young audiences and producing resources and study materials for teachers and students. The NAC is the only multidisciplinary, bilingual performing arts centre in North America and one of the largest in the world. Accountability and Funding The NAC reports to Parliament through the Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages. Of the NAC’s total revenue, approximately half is derived from an annual parliamentary appropriation, while the other half comes from earned revenue— box office sales, the NAC Foundation, NAC catering, le café (restaurant), commercial parking and facility rentals.

  • 2010 Long List

    2010 Long List

    For Immediate release Toronto, ON (June 17, 2010) The Polaris Music Prize Long List was revealed today by Steve Jordan, Prize Founder and Executive Director. This year marks the fifth anniversary of the prize, which awards $20,00 to the best full-length Canadian album, judged solely on artistic merit, without regard to genre or record sales. This is the second year Polaris has made the Long List public. The Long List consists of the top 40 full- length Canadian records released from June 1, 2009 to May 31, 2010, according to an initial vote by the 198 members of the Polaris Music Prize jury. The jury consists of music journalists, broadcasters and bloggers from across Canada. No music industry personnel with direct financial relationships with artists vote for Polaris. “This year we are experiencing a growing excitement for the Long List. To see why one need only study the breadth and quality of the various records on this year’s edition,” said Jordan. Jordan also announced that the Long List is once again being presented by the Canada Council for the Arts. The Head of the Council’s Music Section, Russell Kelley, said "the Polaris Prize is given to the best album of the year based solely on artistic merit, a key criteria the Canada Council for the Arts uses in its decisions in funding the arts. Given this connection, it is a natural fit for the Council to support the Polaris Long List." The Polaris Jury will now vote on the Long List titles to determine the 10 album Polaris Music Prize Short List which will be revealed July 6 at the Drake Hotel in Toronto and broadcast live across Canada and the U.S.

    Liberated Punks Accelerate China’S Musical Evolution

    About blogs Just another WordPress weblog Liberated Punks Accelerate China’s Musical Evolution From Pigface and Ministry to PiL and Killing Joke, drummer Martin Atkins has pounded the skins for some very loud punks. But he didn't realize that China's underground sound would throw him into a time machine and dial it back to the '70s and '80s, when bands were pushing the envelope on conventional rock and not really caring how you felt about it. Atkins shot 80 hours of video from his 2006 trip into Asia's 21st century powerhouse, and chopped it down into the recently released documentary Sixteen Days in China . Listening Post caught up with him to talk about China's greatest bands you've never heard and more. Wired.com: How did your experiences with Ministry and your other bands match up to the scene you witnessed in China? Martin Atkins: I think time and location has more relevance, like London in 1977, New York in 1980 or maybe Chicago 1989. These were cities that had exploding scenes that I managed to be a small part of. Add to that some entrepreneurial what-the-fuck-ness, and there you go! The backdrop is different, but the immersion, the focus on just the music and attitude feels like a definite ripple from those times. It doesn't feel strategized in a careerist way. The guys in D-22, who now have a label called Maybe Mars, and their venue reminded me of the vibe of CBGB's. While I was over there, I saw the club on CNN, and that rang a bell for me.
  • Glenn Gould's the Idea of North

    Glenn Gould's the Idea of North

    Mickey Vallee Glenn Gould’s The Idea of North: The Cultural Politics of Benevolent Domination ABSTRACT Tis article follows the critical theory that Canadian wilderness painting exists only when the artist disavows their presence at the scene of capture, and suggests that it is due time the theory be applied to Canadian sound pieces such as Glenn Gould’s Te Idea of North (1967). A contrapuntal radio piece that marked Glenn Gould’s baptism into experimental documentary, Te Idea of North explores how the North is placed in the Canadian imaginary as an ambivalent object of national identity. In this arti- cle, I argue that the aesthetic procedures of Te Idea of North create a narrative space through which the Other is constructed as a savage who is subsequently saved by the benevolent welfare state. Tus, Te Idea of North idealizes the North by virtue of 32 TOPIA (1) its distantiation from the North, and (2) its Othering of Canada’s Inuit as savage and helpless, refective of (3) a new benevolent racism that made up assimilationist ideology, a requisite for post-World War II Northern resource development. Te 21 Idea of North is, thus, an aesthetic example of ‘diferential racism,’ which proceeds through perceived cultural rather than biological diferences, and works to include the targeted social group rather than exclude them. Given Te Idea of North’s nar- rative of the North’s future, I argue that the future is a convenient temporal sche- matic through which the present remains governed. I maintain that we must add benevolent racism to the cultural theory of exploitation and domination in order to understand the contemporary structure of racism that haunts any cultural denials of colonialism.
