Fredericton Mayoral Candidates to Debate the Arts at the FAA’s Public Forum Apr 19 The arts, in all their rich variety, form an important part of the Fredericton community and of its economy. The city’s government has a significant role to play in encouraging and supporting the arts in the city: music, writing, dance, visual arts, drama, film, and rich combinations of all of them. That’s why the Fredericton Arts Alliance has organized a public forum at which the candidates for mayor are invited to present their views and answer questions. The forum will take place on Tuesday, April 19 from 7 to 10pm in the Charlotte Street Arts Centre Auditorium. The city’s official culture plan, approved in July 2014, has five objectives: 1. Highlight the value of culture to the social and economic fabric of Fredericton; 2. Motivate the City and its stakeholders to a plan of action; 3. Set a framework of goals and specific actions for the City that unlock organizational, individual, and financial capital; 4. Guide civic decision-makers and cultural stakeholders in operational changes and investments, and link cultural initiatives to wider City planning; 5. Improve the lives of Frederictonians Where do the candidates stand on achieving those objectives? Susanne Alexander, the publisher of Goose Lane Editions will moderate the discussion. Both candidates, Mayor Brad Woodside and Councillor Mike O’Brien have confirmed their intention to participate. Light refreshments will follow the forum. For more information contact Katie FitzRandolph, President, Fredericton Arts Alliance at 478-8045 or [email protected]. Back to top. 2. Tickets on Sale Now: The Capital Complex presents Radio Radio Live Jun 3 The Capital Complex is pleased to announce Radio Radio live at The Capital on Friday, June 3 as they tour their new album, Light The Sky. Since their first releases Télé Télé EP (2007) and Cliché Hot (2008), New Brunswick’s Gabriel Louis Bernard Malenfant and Nova Scotia’s Jacques Alphonse Doucet have impressed journalists and the public alike with their catchy hip-hop/electro-flavored hooks. Their second album Belmundo Regal was short-listed for the 2010 Polaris Music Prize and the duo won a slew of other awards such as an Independent Music Award for Rap/Hip Hop Album (2011), a Miroir for Best Hip-Hop/Urban Performance at the Festival d'été de Québec, a Révélation Musique 2010-2011 Radio-Canada title, as well as a Félix for Hip-Hop Album of the Year for their third full-length, Havre de Grâce (2012). Having grown up in an environment where Anglophones rub shoulders with Francophones on a daily basis, the Acadian duo then offered their first album entirely in English Light the Sky in February 2016 which they are currently touring across Canada. The music on this latest album was produced by Shash’U, DJ Champion, J.u.D. and Alex McMahon. Over the past few years, Radio Radio have become a must-see act, having performed at several top notch music festivals including, FrancoFolies de Montréal, the Festival d'été de Québec, the Festival International de Louisiane, SXSW, and the CMJ Music Marathon, including several festivals in France and Belgium. Tickets are on sale now, and are $20 Incl HST and fees, or $25 at the door. Use promo code: DANCEFLOOR and save $3 online at https://goo.gl/5LMwHQ or in person through the Etixnow kiosk located in the lobby of Isaac’s Way Restaurant, located at 649 Queen St (across from the Playhouse). Doors open at 9pm, and the show begins at 10pm. Back to top. 3. UNB Art Centre presents Supplemental Events related to Pieces of the Past Exhibition Apr 7 – May 7 The UNB Art Centre is proud to announce a series of upcoming events related to our current exhibition, Pieces of the Past (running until May 13). In conjunction with this exhibition, we will be hosting a theatrical performance, a book reading, a film screening, and an “antiques roadshow” style show-and-tell afternoon. ARTSnews April 14, 2016 4 Volume 17, Issue 15 First, on Friday April 8 at 7:30pm, in the Memorial Hall auditorium, Fredericton-based actress Maria Bourgeois will stage a performance of To Live Dangerously. Part séance, part play, this performance will call forth the spirit of Lucy Jarvis, and bring her back to the UNB Art Centre once more! Through conversations with Lucy Jarvis’ remaining relatives and extensive research, Maria has been channelling Lucy’s energy, emotions, and creativity as she creates her one-woman show. In the story-telling tradition of her native Newfoundland, Maria Bourgeois uses theatre to tell stories about people and their history. To Live Dangerously explores Lucy Jarvis’ connection with the UNB Art Centre, and the spark of danger she felt as she fell in love with art for the first time at the age of 8. The UNB Art Centre gratefully acknowledges support for this project from the City of Fredericton. On Wednesday, April 13 at 12pm, author Roslyn Rosenfeld will read from her newly launched book Even Stones Have Life. Co-published by the Beaverbrook Art Gallery and Goose Lane Editions, this book is an examination of Lucy Jarvis’ considerable body of creative work – the subjects of her paintings, her choices of medium and expression. Rosenfeld’s book celebrates the contribution Lucy Jarvis (and her colleague Pegi Nicol MacLeod) made to the burgeoning Fredericton art community through the UNB Art Centre. In the time before major institutions like the Beaverbrook Art Gallery or the Fredericton Playhouse opened, Jarvis and McLeod helped launch the Fredericton art scene by making creativity available to all. On Wednesday, April 20, at 12pm the UNB Art Centre will screen the film Something Dancing About Her (National Film Board of Canada, 2005), celebrating the life and art of Pegi Nicol MacLeod.

The essay’s successive chapters examine the lives and literary works of three understudied authors who held leadership positions in this critically unserious, fringe society: FES Symposiarch Alden Nowlan; the Society’s President Leo Ferrari; and its First Vice-President Gwendolyn MacEwen. Therefore, my project constitutes an act of recovery and reconstruction, bringing to light cultural work and literary connections that have largely faded from view. Chapters show how certain literary writings by Nowlan, Ferrari, or MacEwen directly or indirectly relate to their involvement with FES, making the Society an important part of their cultural work rather than a mere entertainment, distraction, or hoax.

  • Toward a National Theatre: the Canada Council, 1957-1982
    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting througli an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

    U.N. IN REVIEW to UPSIDE TOWN/ SWINGAROUND U.N. In Review See United Nations. U.N. Newsreel See United Nations. U.N. Review See United Nations. U.N. Today See United Nations. The Umbrella Sun 5:00-5:30 p.m., 3 Apr-26 Jun 1966 Sun 5:00-5:30 p.m., 9 Oct-18 Dec 1966 An adventurous program on the arts, The Umbrella brought some of the articulate cultural commentary that had previously been the territory of CBC radio to the television network. It was essentially the successor to Show On Shows (q.v.), which included features by some of the same contributors and which was also produced by John Kennedy. The host of The Umbrella was William Ronald, the painter who had achieved recognition for his abstracts, as a member of the Toronto group, Painters Eleven, in the 1950s, and whose status grew through the l960s. The show's announcer and Ronald's on-camera colleague was Lloyd Robertson. The first show, perhaps typically, centred on Ronald himself; he talked about his own work to art students. Subsequent programs moved to wider, different subjects, both local and international in focus. In the first month, for example, Ronald presented his interview with the legendary artist Marcel Duchamp, filmed in New York, and a program on the burgeoning cultural scene in London, Ontario, and interviews with painters Greg Curnoe and Jack Chambers, and with writer James Reaney. Subjects included the visual, literary, and performing arts, and regular contributors included Rita Greer Allen, Barry Callaghan, and Timothy Findley.
