Good Women Dance Collective: Practice and Process with Susanna Hood and Sarah Bild
2023-10-06 09:00 - 16:00, 2023-10-05 09:00 - 16:00, 2023-10-04 09:00 - 16:00, 2023-10-03 09:00 - 16:00, 2023-10-02 09:00 - 16:00 | Shumka Dance Studio, 10515 111 Street NW, Edmonton, Alberta, T5H 3E8, Canada
This 5-day intensive will be divided into 3 hours of practice and 3 hours of creative process. Pulling from their practices of Open Source Forms and Action Theater, Susanna Hood and Sarah Bild will guide participants through physical and sensory awakening of the body/mind to prepare for creative practice. Inviting breath and imagery into the physical self, we will open ourselves to our physical and metaphorical environment and practice noticing, tending to and following creative impulses as they arise, opening a dialogue between inner experience and outer awareness. We will develop short studies, share them with the group and learn to speak about what we see. How do we move from the playground of creativity, the free generating of material to creating meaning in performance? How does one impulse invite another? How do we give shape to those impulses? What are the structural possibilities at our disposal? How do we embody them for full expression? How do we frame them in space and time? These are questions we will investigate and experience in the afternoon hours.

Folklore Lunch: From Kubasa to Cod: Repackaging Ukrainian Culture for Varying Tastes
2023-09-29 12:00 - 13:00 | Arts Student Lounge, Old Arts Building & Convocation Hall, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, T6G 2E6, Canada
Folklore Lunch: From Kubasa to Cod: Repackaging Ukrainian Culture for Varying Tastes
Presenter: Dr. Brian Cherwick
September 29, 2023 | 12pm MDT
Arts Student Lounge, Old Arts Building & Convocation Hall
(In person presentation)
Throughout much of the 20th century, Ukrainian music in Canada was shaped primarily by musical traditions that originated in the western provinces of Ukraine. While the period since 1991 has seen an increased flow of cultural products from Ukraine and a wide variety of musical influences among Ukrainians who relocated to Canada during this time, the Western Ukrainian base material continues to hold a dominant place in the musical fabric of Ukrainian Canadians. This presentation will look at both some general tendencies as well as some specific ways the presenter has selected and shaped material to suit the tastes of varying audiences.
Brian Cherwick is a multi-instrumentalist who has performed throughout North America, Europe, and the Caribbean as a soloist, with a number of folk ensembles, and as leader of the award-winning speed-folk group Kubasonics. With a Ph.D. in Ukrainian Folklore and Ethnomusicology from the University of Alberta, and with further studies at the National Musical Academy of Ukraine, his research has documented musical traditions of Ukrainians throughout western Canada and western Ukraine. His solo shows, featuring dozens of traditional instruments, are a fascinating excursion through the world of Ukrainian folk music with a unique blend of entertainment and educational experience, spiced with a healthy dose of humour.
