SUMMARY:DEPARTURES - The Space Left Behind
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE RESERVE SOON!\nReservations: passionateheartdance@gmail.com\n\n\nSuzette Sherman and Michele Green will celebrate their final two presentations of Passionate Heart in a special collaboration with author and performer Linda E. Clarke. DEPARTURES will offer two dances from the Passionate Heart repertoire along with a retrospective created in collaboration with Linda’s vivid and personal stories.\n\nPassionate Heart and Linda collaborated in March 2022 to present This is not a Fairytale… and they are thrilled to once again combine movement with stories of departures\, wound together with the beautiful music of Ludovico Einaudi.\n\n\nLinda brings thirty years of hearing stories\, telling stories\, writing stories\, and teaching stories to this collaboration. She believes that telling a story is an act of generosity\, receiving a story is a fundamental act of hospitality. It’s how we connect with one another.\n\n\n\n\nIn 2017\, Suzette coaxed Michele out of retirement to join forces for a performance at the Guelph Dance Festival. This led to the formation of Passionate Heart in 2018 and\, during the next five years\, they built a repertoire of fourteen works created by themselves and David Earle\, performing in many locations in Southern Ontario. In September 2022\, Passionate Heart was invited to La Roche D’Hys in France to present three performances and two workshops. The two presentations of DEPARTURES will bring the total number of performances to 50.\n\n\n\n“The Passionate Heart experience and our decision to perform in an intimate studio environment to small audiences has been a transformative journey for us. The connection we have felt with those in attendance (even when masked!) has been more than we could ever have imagined. We are very grateful for those who have given their heartfelt comments and continued support throughout this journey. We are truly blessed.” – Michele & Suzette\n\n\nIf you would like to support the work of Passionate Heart\, donations large and small are gratefully accepted by e-transfer to greenmichele31@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Derek Edwards – In Praise of the Ostrich
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Shantero Productions \nWith ‘In Praise of the Ostrich’ Derek Edwards moseys back into town on horse-drawn comedy wagon; a searing meander down life’s twisting trails\, steered effortfully by this 30-year veteran. He returns with a payload of blissfully funny personal stories – a cacophony of shenanigans – set to tickle the ribs and warm the heart. \nWith an easy conversational style\, Derek reluctantly pulls his head out of the sand and launches into commentary on the influx of pot stores\, self-driving cars\, gambling tips\, the challenge of staying youthful … plus dressing warm. \nFrom Vegas to St. John’s\, this Just For Laughs veteran is universally considered to be among the comic elite. Certainly his peers think so\, as evidenced by the fact that he’s a four-time nominee\, and winner of Best Standup Comic – Canadian Comedy Awards\, as well as a multiple Gemini nominee for Best Performance in a Comedy. As Rick Mercer says\, “Everyone knows Derek is the funniest man in Canada.” \nClearly the critics agree: “5 STARS – the funniest man on earth” – Winnipeg Free Press; “4 STARS – the crowd howled” – Victoria Times Colonist; “still the funniest man in Canada” – Toronto Sun; “Edwards reigns as the King of Canadian comedy” – Charlottetown Guardian; “Derek Edwards is hysterical” – Calgary Sun; “Edwards takes stand-up to next stage” – Georgia Straight; “the epitome of timing & storytelling” – Halifax Chronicle Herald; “the comedian’s comedian” – London Free Press. \n‘In Praise of the Ostrich’ – Derek Edwards’ new 90-minute stand-up comedy show… a richly textured and enthralling ‘cut above\,’ delivered with pace and authority by the consummate Canadian Comedian. Down to earth\, lots of laughs\, wagons ho. \nEveryone must have a ticket\, including children. Infants will not be admitted during this event. \nNo refunds for this event.

SUMMARY:UW Fine Arts MFA Thesis One: Christine De Vuono | Sarah Martin
DESCRIPTION:University of Waterloo Art Gallery\nApril 13-29\nOpening Reception: Thursday April 13\, 5-8 pm \nChristine De Vuono\n\nCare Packages\nCare Packages is a series of textile installations that focus on elements of caregiving: caring for the sick and elderly; caring for those growing into new identities or life situations; and caring for each other in times of distress or loneliness. Sourcing materials from local thrift stores\, I repurpose scrubs worn by caregivers\, tablecloths and lace decorations\, bedsheets\, and pillowcases\, to symbolize our universal need for care\, safety\, and intimacy. As cultural signifiers these second-hand textiles are meant to evoke the feminine\, since the act of caregiving has been traditionally performed by women. Through my artwork I celebrate women of the past and the present\, inviting all\, regardless of gender\, to embrace the labours that lead to a healthy and resilient society. \nChristine De Vuono is a multimedia artist working with drawing\, sculpture\, collage\, installation\, and photography. The materials of each project are chosen specifically to engage viewers in new ways to examine societal norms and values. Her work utilises antiquated practices and mindful labour\, emphasising the disparity between past traditions and present efficiencies. Often focusing on the transitions we face in life\, her work celebrates the needs of the psyche for beloved care and lived beauty. \nSarah Martin\nSomething to soften the blow\nSomething to soften the blow is an installation incorporating textile\, photography\, and video to challenge the horror genre and the concept of the Final Girl. The research leading to this body of work critically explores tropes and traditions of slasher films\, specifically looking at the first victim\, to consider notions of consumption and disposability\, and how this relates to narratives concerning gender\, sexism\, and race. \nSarah Martin works in a photo-based practice to investigate pop culture and media through a critical feminist lens. Themes of her current work consider the vernacular of the horror genre through manipulating archives of film footage and performing death in staged photographs. Alongside her studio work is an active interest in curatorial practices\, most recently curating work at the Homer Watson House and Gallery\, Marilyn I. Walker Gallery\, and Rodman Hall Art Centre. \nADMIT EVERYONE\nUniversity of Waterloo Art Gallery\nEast Campus Hall\, Room 1239\n519.888.4567 ext. 33575\nWebsite\nFacebook\nInstagram \nCONTACT\nIvan Jurakic\, Director/Curator\n519.888.4567 ext. 46741\nijurakic@uwaterloo.ca \nHOURS\nWednesday to Saturday 12-5 pm\nOr by appointment \nMOBILITY\nGround floor entry\nAutomated doors available at Fine Arts entrance\nWide pathways\nAccessible washrooms on ground level \nDRIVING\n263 Phillip Street\, Waterloo\nEast Campus Hall (ECH) is located adjacent to Engineering 6 (E6)\nCampus map \nPARKING\nVisitor Parking is available in Lot B beside Engineering 6 (E6) for a flat rate of $5\nCampus map \nMAILING\nUniversity of Waterloo Art Gallery\n200 University Avenue West\nWaterloo\, ON\, Canada N2L 3G1

SUMMARY:Dopamine Dance Against PD - Parkinson’s Can’t Stop Me From Dancing!
DESCRIPTION:When Barbara Salsberg Mathews tweeted a video of herself dancing on February 25\, 2023\,\nshe didn’t expect to receive such an amazing response. Within just a few short days\, her tweet\n“Parkinson’s Disease can’t stop me from dancing” had received over 15\,000 views. \nEven more amazingly\, many other people living with Parkinson’s began replying by posting\nvideos of themselves dancing. What started as an optimistic and defiant tweet against PD had\nbecome a mini-internet sensation. This gave Barbara an idea. Together\, with founding PD\nAvenger member\, Richelle Flanagan\, Dopamine dance against PD was born. \nTo raise awareness about Parkinson’s and World Parkinson’s Day you’re invited to participate\nonline. We’re asking everyone to boost their dopamine and dance against Parkinson’s for the\nweek leading into World Parkinson’s Day on April 11. Help raise awareness of the fastest\ngrowing neurological condition affecting 10 million people\, 40% of whom are women and 30%\nunder the age of 60. Help break the stigma of Parkinson’s and take a video of yourself busting\nout your greatest dance moves and post them on social media starting on April 3 until World\nParkinson’s day on April 11. \nDance is a powerful form of self-expression and has been linked to benefits for people living\nwith Parkinson’s disease. Be sure to share your video using the tags #dopaminedancepd\n#dancepartypd and #dance4parkinsons starting on April 3 and encourage others to do the\nsame. \nBarbara says\, “Together let’s spread the message that Parkinson’s can’t stop us from dancing!” \nIf you’re looking for some inspiration\, take a peek at Barbara’s original tweet to see her dance\nmoves as well as some of the people who replied to her. \n“We hope that Dopamine Dance Against PD will raise awareness of Parkinson”s. There is still no\ndefinitive cause or cure for this disease. We must spark conversation\, spark action\, and spark a\nmovement. Together\, we can end Parkinson”s in our lifetime.” \n— Larry Gifford\, President PD Avengers \nFor more information\, or to book an interview\, please contact:\nBarbara Salsberg Mathews\, Cell: 416-565-2359\, salsbergmathews@gmail.com\nhttps://salsbergmathews.com Artwork provided by Barbara Salsberg Mathews
