    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.

  • 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.

IRB protocol # ____________________0507.11 iii Terry, Joseph Leigh (Ph.D., Journalism and Mass Communication) Policy for Culture’s Sake? Cultural Theory, Popular Music, and the Canadian State Dissertation directed by Professor Andrew Calabrese At the conclusion of his seminal essay, “Culture is Ordinary,” cultural theorist Raymond Williams intones that “the ordinary people should govern; that culture and education are ordinary; that there are no masses to save, to capture, or to direct.” Williams’s passage captures the heart of his intellectual project and the central conflict in the development of cultural policy: the hierarchical separation of culture seen as a “whole way of life” and as “arts and learning.” Within cultural policy, this split is constructed at times as the democratization of culture (culture as civilizing) or cultural democracy (better access to the means of cultural production and distribution).
