  • Youthandeducation at Canada's National Artscentre
    40318_NAC_AnnRprt_ART 1/3/08 11:24 AM Page a ANNUAL REPORT 2006—2007 Youth and Education at Canada’s National Arts Centre INSPIRING YOUNG CANADIANS THROUGH THE PERFORMING ARTS 40318_NAC_AnnRprt_ART 1/3/08 11:24 AM Page b ROLE The National Arts Centre (NAC) raised its curtains for the first time in 1969. 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, variety and community programming. It is also at the forefront of youth and education activities; supporting programmes 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. 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. Each year, the NAC tables an annual report before Parliament. The Auditor General of Canada is the NAC’s external auditor.

  • Dossier De Presse
    DOSSIER DE PRESSE Relations de presse : Pistage radio : Cédric Morgan Gilles Leclerc [email protected] Disques Milagro SharpClaws Promotions [email protected] [email protected] T : 514.293.8467 T : 514.788.2123 Deweare High Class Trauma High Class Trauma, Deweare’s first album has finally arrived. The birth was delivered naturally under the keen eyes and ears of Doctors JP-Goncalves, A.McMahon (Plaster) and Carl Bastien (producer on albums by Dumas, Ariane Moffatt, and Daniel Bélanger). These 10 pop/rock tracks will lead the entire nursery to places where minors are not permitted, with far too much cigarette smoke in the sound and well over the recommended amount of gasoline in the mix. Like coke cut with absinthe, Deweare’s pop boosts your adrenaline and leaves the taste of licorice on your lips. This Frenchman sings of dirty love down on a rug of soul. A nightingale crooner with a Gainsbourgian air, Deweare pecks at the line dividing funk from punk and invites himself to sit at each and every table. Sparing no stylistic paradox, he mixes the entrée with the dessert, according to the teachings of Beck and company. Following in the footsteps of Philip K. Dick, he bases his words on everyday hallucinations, transforms missed dates into music, and adds rhythm to déjà-vu. Deweare [de-vair] Many take offence when we mispronounce their name. That isn’t the case for Deweare, who has heard his patronym mutilated at all possible phonetic angles, from [de-wair] to [day-weer]. The Frenchman has never bothered to correct erring speakers, convinced that to make a name for yourself, you must sometimes give it up.

  • Healthy Attendance for a Vintage Year!
    News Release For immediate distribution Re-cap of the 27th edition of the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal: Healthy attendance for a vintage year! Montreal, Monday, July 10th, 2006 – If the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal was particularly successful this year, it’s almost entirely due to the extraordinary mix of artistry that marked this 27th edition of the event. Not that we haven’t come to expect surprises, but this year was a true feast for the ears and eyes. Featuring a whole lot of new blood and an astonishing variety of hybrid genres, this year 30 countries were represented at the Festival—a record number—including Italy (with Suono Italia), featured country of the Festival, which we welcomed as we would an old friend. Special honours at this year’s event were also given to the State of Louisiana, the birthplace of jazz and scene of last year’s natural disaster. As the public has grown to expect, it wasn’t just jazz but its many musical relatives that were heard throughout the site. Even the series devoted to the good ol’ blues took on a new vitality. So maybe we shouldn’t be surprised that this year’s Festival enjoyed record-breaking ticket sales, with a full 50 of the 150 indoor shows completely sold out. The beautiful exterior site was better arranged than ever, and the exterior program of about 350 free shows registered a healthy attendance of at least 2 million visits, once again demonstrating Montrealers’ diverse musical interests. Even though storm clouds darkened the first few days of the event, Mother Nature herself finally surrendered to the crowds’ enthusiasm at the second Grand événement.

Il tire environ la moitié de ses revenus de crédits parlementaires annuels, tandis que l’autre moitié provient des ventes aux guichets, de la Fondation du CNA, des services de traiteur du CNA, du restaurant Le Café, du stationnement et de la location de salles.

AGRADECIMENTOS As diversas fases que envolvem a realização de uma pesquisa e o processo de elaboração textual fazem com que a pessoa inserida nesse redemoinho vá gradativamente se isolando do pleno convívio social, voltando-se cada vez mais ao interior de seu próprio estudo. A única forma que encontrei para não me afogar nessa espiral tempestuosa foi recorrendo às pessoas que me lembraram de que eu não estava sozinho nesses caminhos e me demonstraram que, na verdade, a escrita de uma dissertação somente é possível por conta das redes coletivas de apoio que se formam em torno do pesquisador. Sendo assim, gostaria de agradecer a essas pessoas que tornaram meus estudos possíveis e, acima de tudo, suportáveis. Inicialmente, agradeço a meus familiares. O incentivo e a estrutura que me forneceram garantiram que as todas as dificuldades fossem vencidas.
