Also, there is a cool group of people associated with the The Producer Fringe, and I’m pretty boring day to day,” she smiles. Grace was an English major but admits drama classes didn’t pique her interest. So how did she end up with theatre as “a side gig that takes up more time than my actual paid work”? Five years back, ACT PEI put on “plays in a day”: writers had 12 hours to write a play; directors had 12 hours to produce it. Grace signed up to the open call for performers. “It was so fun,” Grace recalls. When ACT later called for people to get into the production side of theatre, Grace signed up again, and has been producing theatre ever since. She is now also on the ACT board as director of the - atre, helping to recruit shows. And, independent of ACT, she produces shows herself. In February, the show is Raised on TV 3 , the third iteration of a sketch comedy show conceived by Grace’s friend Rod Weatherbie, inspired by television. This year, Grace’s first as sole producer, is focused exclusively on Canadian television. “It’s a TV show—in a theatre,” Grace enthuses. “February is a miserable time of year, and (this show) gets people out of the house. If people want to come in their pyjamas, I 100% back that,” she laughs. Raised on TV 3, she says, will remind people of “the amount of Canadian TV we all watched,” with “nostalgia, good times, and laughter—in the dead of winter.” Grace muses, “If I could live full-time on theatre… I’ve asked myself a number of times if I would do it. But I’m not sure I would love it as much… “I am a sole-support single parent going on 16 years,” Grace says, “and I think if people want to be creative, if they want to take a risk: they should do it… Money limits people—money makes it difficult for people to take that risk. I say money should be at the bottom of the list. “When I have to pick between things, of course I pick my son first, but even when Z Z U I’m literally rubbing two nickels togeth - B er, even if I don’t pay the electric bill one month (to produce a show), it’s worth it, Grace Kimpinski has produced or co-pro - an official Fringe Festival, a major thing for the love and experience of it.” duced a theatre show every few months is that it is not juried,” Grace says. “We for almost five years—but this year, she’s have categories—then the entrants are This is the personal attitude Grace wants preparing for ten shows in four days.

    FIRST NATIONS POPULAR MUSIC IN CANADA: IDENTITY, POLITICS AND MUSICAL MEANING by CHRISTOPHER ALTON SCALES B.A., University of Guelph, 1990 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES School of Music We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA April 1996 * © Christopher Alton Scales In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the head of my department or by his or her representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of M0S \ C The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date flffoL 3.6 Rqfe DE-6 (2/88) ABSTRACT In this thesis, First Nations popular music is examined as a polysemic sign (or symbolic form) whose meaning is mediated both socially and politically. Native popular music is a locus for the action of different social forces which interact in negotiating the nature and the meaning of the music. Music is socially meaningful in that it provides a means by which people construct and recognize social and cultural identities. As such, First Nations popular music functions as an emblem of symbolic differentiation between Canadian natives and non-natives. Native pop music plays host to a number of political meanings embedded in this syncretic musical form.
