  • TEMPOREL a New Work by Lemieux Pilon & Les 7 Doigts Jan
    TEMPOREL a new work by Lemieux Pilon & Les 7 Doigts Jan. 10 to 27 at Cinquième Salle of Place des Arts Montreal, December 14, 2017. Michel Lemieux and Victor Pilon (4D Art), and Isabelle Chassé and Patrick Léonard (Les 7 Doigts) bring you their new work, Temporel, a passionate and humourous blend of poetry, digital illusions and body movement that explores new forms of artistic expression set to an original score by Julien Mineau (Malajube, Fontarabie) and the acrobatic choreography of Shana Carroll. The show runs at the Cinquième Salle of Place des Arts in Montreal from Jan. 10 to 27. Temporel goes beyond the traditional stage experience. Here, dreams are nourished and emotions are triggered by the projection of animated images onto the bodies of the performers, with feats of acrobatics adding to the intensity of the experience. Temporel is perfect for an intimate setting like the Cinquième Salle, offering a idyll of fantasy that is at once deep, lyrical and amusing while also addressing universal themes accessible to a general audience. A man's life is told in fragments, out of sequence. We first meet him as an old man, his lifelong partner beside him, surrounded by piles of books, lost in a metaphorical forest of memory. But in his head the man is every age: adult, infant, elderly, child, all at once. As he recalls his past, a number of other characters, both real and imaginary, emerge. The man is trying to find his place in the world: he seeks happiness, true love, the woman he lost.

This series of twelve hot chocolate mugs depicts the develop - ment of the steam locomotive in Canada from the 0-6-0 "Samson", to the CPR 2-10-4 #8000. The mugs are being offered by the Quaker Oats Company of Cana­ da to salute Canada's Centennial, and the part played by the rail­ ways and their steam locomotives in furthering the pro ~ ress of the nation. Each cup pictures an authentic locomotive design -- one shows a Canadian Northern 2-8-0, a type of locomotive that made a major contribution to the country's prairie economy by moving grain from the Western provinces to the Lakehead -- another shows one of the Canadian Pacific's ubiquitous D-10 engines.

  • Drum Corps International and the Cavaliers
    TOUR HOUSING Drum Corps International and The Cavaliers Drum Corps International (DCI) is a non-profit organization that offers a competitive circuit for independent non-profit youth performing arts organizations from around the world. These ensembles, known as drum and bugle corps, attract members from across the country and around the world and make up what is widely recognized as Marching Music’s Major League ™. The average age of membership in these ensembles is approximately 20 years old. The nature of their performances is similar to a college marching band format but they do not perform at sporting events. Programs are more sophisticated, with much more time and expertise given to perfecting shows that are as athletic as they are artistic. DCI competitions attract tens of thousands of people in live audience settings and live feed cinema viewings every year. The members of corps such as The Cavaliers spend the entire summer touring the United States, Canada and in some cases overseas. Each member pays dues for this experience, which are used to hire staff and cover food and travel expenses. Staff members range from professional educators to Broadway designers and are significant contributors to the educational experience the members receive. Corps raise additional funds through private industry and municipalities to meet the immense cost of travel. Corps members routinely sleep on buses and in school gymnasiums while on the road. On rare occasions, they enjoy the luxury of dorm room accommodations. The drum corps activity is a national treasure that can only exist because of partnerships with sponsoring schools who furnish rehearsal and housing facilities.
