Connect to your city at More Fun Inside: Mumford & Sons vs. Fleetwood Mac A Late Bloomer Aces the Art Game + + Tom’s House of Pizza Turns 50 2013 FESTIVAL GUIDE PUT YOUR fest face FORWARD To celebrate the start of festival season, we asked a professional face painter to “illustrate” several events on living canvases—the mugs of Swerve staffers and contributors. And we’ve rounded up 152 festivals to colour your spring, summer and fall. face paintings by photographed by LÉ A SELLEY MARC RIMMER “[Adults also] LET’S FACE IT, after want to feel the age of about six, legal opportunities to make minor, joyful spectacles of ourselves are few and far between. special, get (True, Roughriders fans seem to find a way around the noticed, maybe cultural and emotional barriers that prevent the rest of get some good us from embracing our inner jubilant freaks on a regu- lar basis but, well, we can’t all be from Saskatchewan.) vibes bouncing Wouldn’t it be great, though, if every once in a while off of everyone you could, for instance, get a stranger on the bus to look around them.” up from his iPad and smile? Or occasionally inspire the barista taking your coffee order to look directly into your —Léa Selley eyes with a bit of awe and wonder? While we’re not sug- gesting you leave the house in a watermelon helmet, we do think the coming festival season smooths the way for us to surprise, amuse, connect and otherwise jolt each other out of our routines, which can only make us a lighter, loftier, more harmonious bunch the rest of the year. Calgary’s Léa Selley—a self-taught face painter who has Spidermanned and princessed up thousands of Calgary faces—knows the power a little dose of out-of- the-ordinary can have on humanity. A former cartog- rapher and web designer, Selley took up face painting five years ago on a whim at her daughter’s Halloween birthday party. She was a natural at artfully transforming faces faster than you can say “gimme fangs” but also at the formidable task of getting kids to sit in a chair for upwards of 15 minutes at a stretch. Selley, whose three daughters admit that they have, at long last, grown weary of their mother’s practice sessions, is now booked up year-round at Stampede events, Comic Con, private functions and, most weekends, a booth at the Calgary Farmers’ Market. She loves the work, in part because of the celebrity pedes- tal she’s put on when she arrives at kids’ events, but also because of the magical inner transformation she sees take place in her customers. “I think the reason kids love getting their faces painted is that it results in them getting a lot of attention, lots of smiles and eye contact and positive comments,” says Selley. The magic isn’t restricted to children: Selley has many return adult customers who come to her because “they want to feel special, get noticed, maybe get some good vibes bouncing off of everyone around them.” Sometimes it takes a sparkly purple butterfly on the cheek or some glitter-rockstar eye makeup to kickstart a conversation. So, while the myriad festivals we’ve presented here for your summer planning pleasure come complete with invitations to leave inhibitions at the gate and fall into a thoroughly exuberant groove with your fellow music-, poetry-, dance-, barbecue-, marathon- , opera- and food- lovers, you might want to keep an eye out for the face painters on the festival circuit this summer. They’ll tease your most expansive, festive self out of hibernation— possibly for good. —Jacquie Moore t w e n t y -t w o 2013 FESTIVAL GUIDE MAY Scotiabank Calgary Marathon WHEN: Thursday, May 23 to Sunday, May 26 ImaginASIAN Asian Heritage Month WHAT: Join over 10,000 participants in a full mara- WHEN: Throughout May.

  • BIOGRAPHY of EMILY HAMPER "The Extremely Difficult Piano Part
    BIOGRAPHY OF EMILY HAMPER "The extremely difficult piano part was perfectly realized by Emily Hamper, a very authoritative accompanist throughout the concert." (Concertonet, Paris, January 2014) Emily Hamper has earned an excellent reputation for her exceptional skills as a vocal coach and accompanist. Singers from her coaching studio perform with major opera companies and symphony orchestras around the world. Within an international career spanning twenty years, she has worked as a rehearsal pianist, coach, and assistant conductor for many prominent opera companies and organizations. Highly sought-after as a collaborator for voice recitals, she has recently appeared in performance for the Montreal Symphony Orchestra’s “Virée Classique”, L'Opéra National de Paris, and Music Toronto. In January 2017 she partners baritone Phillip Addis in recital at the Canadian Opera Company. Other performances include recitals for the Queensland Music Festival (Australia), Calgary Opera, Festival Orford, Stratford Summer Music, and many other venues in Canada, the USA, and Europe. In 2011 she was awarded the Best Collaborative ​ Pianist Prize at the Eckhardt-Gramatté National Music Competition and accompanied thirteen ​ performances across Canada on the National Winner's Tour. Performances have been broadcast on CBC Radio, Radio-Canada, Classical 96.3 FM and Vermont Public Radio. Engaged as a répétiteur and official audition accompanist by Calgary Opera, l'Opéra de Montréal, Opera Atelier and Pacific Opera Victoria, Ms. Hamper was production director for a performance based on Manon at the Muskoka Opera Festival in 2013. Her genuine interest in ​ ​ new music has resulted in engagements with Soundstreams Canada and Tapestry Opera, the workshopping of a new opera with Manitoba Opera, and the commission of a cycle of four songs by composer Erik Ross and poet Zachariah Wells.
