Taking an audience on a journey to places they might never venture – like Afghanistan in A Thousand Splendid STAFFORD ARIMA, ARTISTIC DIRECTOR & Suns, our 2017 JON JACKSON, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR adaptation; and introducing an audience to situations that they might only have a whisper of knowledge about – like the backstage antics of a group of actors in this season’s opener Noises Off; but stories need their tellers. The characters that populate the dramas, the comedies, the musicals, etc., the colourful and fascinating people whose lives, histories, and personal circumstances are brand new to you – the audience. Nicolas Billon’s Governor General Award- winning play, Iceland, is delivered mostly through monologue. This means the characters speak in direct-address to the audience. They not only live this gripping plot, but each puts their own particular lens to it. In Kassandra, Halim, and Anna, Iceland delivers three of the most the compelling and complex original characters in recent memory. Rich characters draw an audience in and reflect back the depths of the human condition. This is why Iceland is so profound. Not only has the playwright written an engaging story about three disparate characters who actually have more in common than one might think; Billon has given us three unconventional characters who, on the surface, might appear dubious, but once you understand their story you will hopefully come to see their humanity. That is what theatre has the capacity to do, to awaken an audience to people, their histories, their psychology, and their humanness. We might not want to invite these characters back to our homes, or share a beer and wings withthem, but we can, for a brief moment in a darkened room, watch their lives unfold in front of our eyes, in the safety of a theatre, and live their story.

When I find myself in a cluster of strangers, on the C-Train during rush-hour, eating lunch on Olympic Plaza, or in the theatre on any given night, I can’t help but be amazed by the unknown of all those around me. While I may love to make up story upon story about that woman in the red hat or this gentleman and his sad ice-cream cone, it is impossible to truly know someone simply by seeing them. We all walk this earth with so much history, and we may wear it well or we may seem worse for the wear. It is all too easy to pass judgement before someone has even opened their mouth. With a population of almost 3 million people, Toronto is Canada’s largest city. In Nicolas Billon’s Iceland (which is actually set in Toronto’s Liberty Village – not Bjork’s homeland), we meet just three of its inhabitants. We get to peer into their lives, as though spying from the safety of our own balcony to theirs. I encourage you to try to see them for who they really are; you just may be surprised by what you find. Fair warning: the intimacy of Iceland places audience as voyeur and that can feel a little criminal, but if you lean in – it can also be very satisfying. Jenna Turk director theatre calgary gratefully acknowledges the support provided by the city of calgary through calgary arts development, the government of alberta through the alberta foundation for the arts, the government of canada through the canada council, canadian heritage, and all corporate and private contributors. theatrecalgary.com 5 UP NEXT AT CLASSIC.

  • A Christmas Carol
    November 29 - December 23, 2018 A Christmas Carol By Charles Dickens Adapted by Dennis Garnhum At Theatre Calgary we strive to create a welcoming, inclusive and safe environment for diverse communities. To formally open our productions, Theatre Calgary will pay tribute and recognize the Indigenous people of the Treaty 7 region as the past, present and future stewards of this land where our performance takes place. In response to the release of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 94 Calls to Action, the act of giving territorial or land acknowledgement has now become best practice across Canada. In our efforts to embrace the language and spirit of reconciliation, we recognize that our practice will evolve as Theatre Calgary strengthens our relationships within local Indigenous communities and with artists. Theatre Calgary is committed to maintaining regular engagement with Indigenous and community leaders for consultation on best practices. Territorial Acknowledgement Welcome to Theatre Calgary. We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge that this performance is taking place on Treaty 7, signed at Blackfoot Crossing in 1877. We are on the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7 including the three Blackfoot Nations: consisting of the Siksika, Piikani, Kainai Nations; the Stoney Nakoda Nations: consisting of the Bearspaw, Wesley and Chiniki Nations; and the Tsuu T’ina Nation. The city of Calgary is also home to Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III. We are grateful to have the opportunity to present in this territory. am so grateful that we have the opportunity to congregate in a theatre to celebrate the joy of I the holiday season with A Christmas Carol.

  • XV Olympic Winter Games Organizing Committee
    PREFACE The City of Calgary Archives is a section of the City Clerk's Department. The Archives was established in 1981. The descriptive system currently in use was established in 1991. The Archives Society of Alberta has endorsed the use of the Bureau of Canadian Archivists' Rules for Archival Description as the standard of archival description to be used in Alberta's archival repositories. In acting upon the recommendations of the Society, the City of Calgary Archives will endeavour to use RAD whenever possible and to subsequently adopt new rules as they are announced by the Bureau. The focus of the City of Calgary Archives' descriptive system is the series level and, consequently, RAD has been adapted to meet the descriptive needs of that level. RAD will eventually be used to describe archival records at the fonds level. The City of Calgary Archives creates inventories of records of private agencies and individuals as the basic structural finding aid to private records. Private records include a broad range of material such as office records of elected municipal officials, records of boards and commissions funded in part or wholly by the City of Calgary, records of other organizations which function at the municipal level, as well as personal papers of individuals. All of these records are collected because of their close relationship to the records of the civic government, and are subject to formal donor agreements. The search pattern for information in private records is to translate inquiries into terms of type of activity, to link activity with agencies which are classified according to activity, to peruse the appropriate inventories to identify pertinent record series, and then to locate these series, or parts thereof, through the location register.

  • OPPORTUNITY PROFILE President &
    OPPORTUNITY PROFILE President & CEO [email protected] . Office 403.242.9000 prospectorsearch.com THE ORGANIZATION – CALGARY PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA The Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra is a cornerstone of Calgary’s vibrant arts community. Since its founding in 1955, it has grown to become one of Canada’s preeminent live music ensembles. Calgary Philharmonic’s home for live performance is Arts Commons’ acoustically suberb Jack Singer Concert Hall. The Orchestra has 66 fulltime members, and a wonderful 120-voice Philharmonic Chorus. Over a 40-week season, Calgary Phil presents classical masterworks, pop favourites, bold collaborations, and cutting-edge new works, and attracts world-renowned guest artists and dynamic conductors. The Orchestra welcomes over 100,000 listeners annually, and brings music to more than 20,000 Albertans through education and community programs. It also performs with Calgary Opera and Alberta Ballet, and collaborates in the finals of the triennial Honens International Piano Competition. At the start of the 2017/2018 Season, the Orchestra welcomed Norwegian conductor Rune Bergmann as Music Director. Maestro Bergmann entered this role with a prominent vision to showcase the Calgary Philharmonic on the world stage. In 2017, Calgary Phil launched its live-stream initiative — an immersive, digital concert experience for audiences around the world. Fortuitously, this early embrace of digital technology positioned the Orchestra to pivot quickly during the pandemic lockdown and continue to reach audiences with new modes of programming. Past Music Directors of the Calgary Philharmonic include Grammy and Emmy Award-winning conductor Roberto Minczuk from 2006 to 2016; and the late Mario Bernardi, who guided the Orchestra from 1984 to 1992 through a period of tremendous artistic growth, including recordings and its first North American tour.
