Although this grant allocation was not increased over 2014, the impact of a significant increase over 2012 levels is continuing to be evident. It has allowed TAC to offer stability to existing organizations while providing significant new support for emerging arts groups and community-engaged arts projects and expanded audience access in diverse communities and outside the downtown core. TAC approved its Priorities for New Funding in 2013 following confirmation of increased investment from the City, based on extensive community consultations and on the City Council approved Creative Capital Gains report. TAC’s new funding priorities break down into 3 major grants program priorities and 14 subsidiary goals. In the first three years of increased funding, progress has been realized as follows: Priority #1: Growth & Sustainability Goals: 1. Increase core funding to arts organizations meeting highest standards of excellence 2. Increase project funding in all disciplines to arts organizations and individual artists meeting highest standards of excellence 3. Create and implement strategies to address funding inequities among arts organizations Progress to December 2015: Goal #1: Over $2 million additional funds added to core operating program, annually, for a total of $5.4 million over three years. Goal #2: $2.4 million increased funding allocated in project grants to arts organizations and individual artists over three years. Goal #3: TAC Board and staff identified a $6 million gap in funding required to address funding inequities; new funds allocated since 2013 have reduced this gap by $3.3 million. In addition, TAC introduced an Indigenous Arts Projects grants program in 2015 to provide enhanced funding opportunities for indigenous artists. Priority #2: Community Connections Goals: 1. Youth led arts projects to be a funding priority 2. Community engaged art projects in inner suburbs will be a funding priority 3. Culturally diverse youth artists and arts organizations will be given enhanced opportunities to enter the funding stream 4. Outreach and community revitalization projects will be eligible for additional funding 5. Partnerships with Toronto’s civic institutions (libraries, heritage, housing, parks, tourism, immigrant settlement agencies, education, neighbourhood and community centres) will be forged or strengthened to ensure greater neighbourhood access to arts programming Progress to Dec 2015: Goal #1: Toronto Arts Council has partnered with Artreach Toronto to increase access and opportunities for cultural participation for youth across the city, including $300,000 funding annually for youth-led arts projects. Goal #2: TAC developed Platform A to support a shared vision of seeding sustainable, high-quality community arts practice, and provide increased opportunities and access to the arts for youth and communities through an innovative mentorship/microgrants program: $300,000 per year for 3 years. 1 Goal #3: In addition to ArtReach and Platform A, Toronto Arts Council has added support for audio recording to its Music Creation program, responding to demand from Toronto's music community. Successful grant applicants include many young musicians from communities outside the downtown core: $649,000 over 3 years. Goal #4: Targeted Enhanced Funding - Recognizing that it takes significant resources to undertake high engagement activities that involve youth, diverse and underserved communities in the arts, this program is available to TAC operating clients that have already begun to engage with communities outside the downtown core: 86 grants totaling $851,000 over three years. Goal #5: New grants programs in partnership with Toronto's civic institutions focus on neighbourhoods outside the downtown and include: Animating Historic Sites and Museums, Artists in the Library, Artists in the Schools and beginning in 2016, Animating Toronto Parks: in the first three years 51 grants totalling $1.17 million have been awarded. Priority #3: Innovation & Partnerships Goals: 1. Respond to exceptional one-time events and opportunities 2. Build local arts community capacity 3. Provide opportunity for funding interdisciplinary work 4. Provide seed or development funds for new and innovative artistic initiatives developing new platforms for national and international recognition of Toronto artists 5. Facilitate mentorship and professional development opportunities for arts professionals 6. Stimulate increased investment in Toronto arts through strategic inter-sectoral partnerships Progress to Dec 2015: Goal #1: Open Door funding process developed to respond to exceptional one-time events and opportunities: $1,053,000 granted to 23 innovative projects in 2014 and 2015, many of which explored new models and market development. An additional $280,000 was granted to support Panamania arts events. Goal #2: With TAC funding, Platform A offers a microgrants program granting up to $1,000 to emerging and newcomer artists and collectives to foster new arts projects, practice skills, and incubate creative ideas with mentorship from established artists and organizations in the field: 140 grants totaling $127,870 in first three years has supported emerging artists get their first opportunity to access TAC funding. Additionally, in 2015, TAC supported a Shared Charitable Platform partnership to explore models for increasing capacity of smaller organizations. Goal #3: Non-discipline specific grants programs introduced by TAC since 2013 include: Animating Historic Sites and Museums, Artists in the Library, Artists in the Schools, ArtReach Toronto, ArtsVest and for the first time in 2015, Indigenous Arts Projects. Goal #4: Open Door funding process (see goal 1) also responds to this goal. Goal #5: In partnership with

And that cold sweat on your body, those are my tears…“ As part of the Finborough Theatre’s celebrations of Canada’s 150th birthday, the European debut of “the hottest name in Canadian theatre”, Jordan Tannahill, with the European premiere of Late Company playing at the Finborough Theatre for a four week limited season on Tuesday, 25 May 2017 (Press Nights: Thursday, 27 April 2017 and Friday, 28 April 2017 at 7.30pm). One year after the suicide of their teenage son, Debora and Michael sit down to dinner with their son’s bully and his parents. Closure is on the menu, but accusations are the main course as good intentions are gradually stripped away to reveal layers of parental, sexual, and political hypocrisy – at a dinner party where grief is the loudest guest. Written with sensitivity and humour, Late Company explores restorative justice, cyber bullying, and is both a timely and timeless meditation on a parent’s struggle to comprehend the monstrous and unknown in their child.

    “You’re gonna need a rock and a whole lotta medicine” Whitehead is a mantra that Jonny Appleseed, a young Two-Spirit/Indigiqueer and NDN glitter princess, Joshua Joshua repeats to himself in this vivid and utterly compelling debut novel by Joshua Whitehead. Off the rez and trying to find ways to live, love, and survive in the big city, Jonny has one week before he must return to his home—and his former life—to attend the funeral of his stepfather. The seven days that follow are like a fevered dream: stories of love, trauma, sex, kinship, ambition, and heartbreaking recollections of his beloved kokum (grandmother). Jonny’s life is a series of breakages, appendages, and linkages—and as he goes through the motions of preparing to return home, he learns how to put together the pieces of his life. JONNY APPLESEED HIGHLIGHTS Jonny Appleseed is a unique, shattering vision of Indigenous life, full of grit, glitter, and dreams. “Joshua Whitehead redefines what queer Indigenous writing can be in his powerful debut novel. Jonny Appleseed transcends genres of writing to blend the sacred and the sexual into a vital expression of Indigenous desire and love. Reading it is a coming home to bodies, stories, and experiences of queer Indigenous life that has never been so richly and honestly shown before. This book is an honour song to every queer NDN body who has ever lived and it will transform the universe with its beauty and magic.” FROM THE BACKLIST —Gwen Benaway, author of Passage “If we’re lucky, we’ll find one or two books in a lifetime that change the language of story, that manage to illuminate new curves in the flat vessels of old letters and words.

  • Bio // Jason Collet // Rat a Tat Tat
    BIO // JASON COLLET // RAT A TAT TAT Album: Rat A Tat Tat Catalogue #: A&C052 Format: DD / CD / 1xLP Canada Release Date: March 9, 2010 International Release Date: March 9, 2010 They say that life begins at 40, but in the case of Jason Collett, that’s not just some overly optimistic bumper- sticker slogan. To many indie-rock fans, Jason Collett is the wise, big-brother character in Broken Social Scene: the calm, cool, collected totem of stability in a band defined by drama and chaos — “our Tom Petty figure,” as BSS figurehead Kevin Drew once (half-jokingly) dubbed him. But this reading of Collett belies the restless, curious spirit that he’s exhibited throughout his solo career outside of Broken Social Scene. For someone who’s been a fixture on the Toronto live-music circuit for two decades, you could totally understand if an artist of Collett’s experience and vintage settled into a country-rock comfort zone, and kept strumming the same ol’ songs until his ears gave out. But at the core of Collett’s big brotherly wisdom is the idea that, the older you get, the more you realize there’s still so much to learn. To wit, Rat a Tat Tat: the fourth album to bear Jason Collett’s name, but the first to make you double-check who you’re actually listening to: as the opening elegy “Rave On Sad Songs” blossoms from a solitary serenade into an Irish-pub last-call waltz, we hear a voice that’s several degrees more conversational and starkly unaffected than the one heard on previous Collett signatures like “Tiny Ocean of Tears,” “Almost Summer” or “Out of Time.” But it’s a gesture that perfectly suits a song wherein Collett seemingly bids farewell to the maudlin confessionals that can define — and restrict — many a singer-songwriter.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Liminal by Jordan Tannahill Jordan Tannahill's Liminal Plays Truth for Dramatic Effect
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Liminal by Jordan Tannahill Jordan Tannahill's Liminal plays truth for dramatic effect. In 2014 playwright Jordan Tannahill became the youngest-ever winner of the Governor General’s Award for Drama. Now, still not 30, he has published a semi-fictional memoir. This is what’s known as a fast start for a literary career. The genre Tannahill is working is a hot one, sometimes referred to as the autobiographical novel or autofiction. Think names like Karl Ove Knausgard. The reader is given to understand that the people and events being described are, broadly speaking, real, but they are being presented and arranged in such a way as to heighten their dramatic effect. As Tannahill puts, describing his Toronto theatre project Videofag in terms that could just as easily be applied to Liminal , “it is both art and life . a sort of hyper-real portrait of a slightly more mundane reality.” This is having one’s cake and eating it, since we have a tendency to accept that what we’re getting in Liminal is a true story, even if we have no idea how much of it really is. That’s a big part of what makes these books so popular. An enhanced reality may be even better than the real thing. Read more: Tannahill begins with the moment that gives the novel its title and theme. On the morning of Sat. Jan. 21, 2017 he stands in the doorway, on the threshold, of his mother’s bedroom, not sure if she is alive or dead.
