The full program is available on our 2013 festival program page. The festival features artists at all stages in their careers who are engaged with current labour\, social\, and political realities. The festival program committee’s goal was to include works that reflect Mayworks’s solidarity with local\, national\, and international campaigns such as the Idle No More movement\, affordable housing\, opposition to austerity measures\, migrant rights\, amongst others. We continue our dedication to partnering with unions\, community groups\, and arts organizations. Some events organized in partnership include\: an evening of spoken word poetry with the support of Public Service Alliance of Canada\; a film night with the Canadian Labour International Film Festival which includes two documentaries that speak to the effects of increasing economic and job insecurity\, layoffs\, and inadequate social assistance on communities\; and a tribute concert in honour of Arlene Mantle’s (1939 – 2012) lifelong contribution to the labour movement in collaboration with her family and friends. It is our privilege to present a visual art exhibit by artist/activists Min Sook Lee and Deborah Barndt whose MILAGROS FOR MIGRANTS multi-media exhibit explores the relationship between food and labour justice and places migrant workers’ issues in the broader context of global corporate agriculture. Mayworks will be the first to present the work of the newly-formed Artist Wanted Collective\, whose central interactive work SHOP TALK search centre will be housed in Whippersnapper Gallery. With accompanying performance\, intervention\, and interview-based works throughout the festival\, the Artist Wanted Collective will use Mayworks as a base to further their research around issues of art and labor in the Greater Toronto Area. We are proud to host a number of forums and workshops such as a Theatre of the Oppressed workshop led by Ponni Arasu. She is also presenting the Canadian-premier of Karuppi (The Dark Woman). As well\, Althea Balmes and Jo SiMalaya Alcampo are facilitating a discussion with Filipina migrant workers which will lead to the creation of a comic book that highlights the work of live-in caregivers. In solidarity with the Idle No More movement\, Anishnawbe-kwe curator\, writer\, and media artist Wanda Nanibush is leading an Idle No More teach-in at the Toronto Council Fire Native Cultural Centre. We look forward to seeing you at the 2013 festival!

Gebimsel is a German term that refers to dangling decorations\, from garlands to beaded curtains\, found in the home. Likewise\, his assembly of “anti-architectural structures”\, drawings\, and silk paintings take cues from condominium showroom decor—items meant to give an empty architecture the impression of lived-in-ness\, and more importantly\, a lifestyle to buy into. A montage of primarily found video footage of condominium “fly throughs” (virtual 3D videos of proposed developments) follows Marguerite Duras’s concept of the image passe-partout\, which describes a blank image open enough to accept an indefinite number of texts. In Husain’s video\, as we float through these various constructed spaces\, the screen is populated (or accessorized) with dialogue inserted as chat bubbles. The video is an extension of Husain’s earlier videos Q (2002)\, Swivel\, and Shrivel (both 2005)\, which depict digitized versions of everyday life in the city\, but here he presents a more pointed meditation on gentrification. The condo showroom\, as a real-life venue or modeled in CGI\, is the post-modern image passe-partout\, and allows us to composite our own fantasy of day-to-day living into it. Accompanying the show is a custom poster depicting a box of Indonesian pandan leaf-flavoured cake mix paired with the intermittent playing of German popstar Alexandra’s 1968 schlager “Illusionen”. The incongruent collision of these two elements within Husain’s mock showroom emphasizes the melancholic air of his critique\, yet they evoke the optimism of the 1960s as a comparison to the present. The promises of high rise construction then seem to have shifted now\, especially in Toronto. As Husain writes\, “It’s not that the leading critics of urbanism\, like Richard Sennet and Jane Jacobs\, are irrelevant now\, but thinking about urban development in those terms doesn\\'t apply any more now that we\\'re surrounded by glass walls as given facts.” CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP;TZID=US-Eastern:20130521T111242 LAST-MODIFIED;TZID=US-Eastern:20130521T111242 CREATED;TZID=US-Eastern:20130521T111242 DTSTART;TZID=US-Eastern:20130502T190000 DTEND;TZID=US-Eastern:20130504T020000 UID:20130521T111242-74167@blogto.com SUMMARY:Love Letters Cabaret LOCATION:Bite URL:http://www.blogto.com/events/74167 DESCRIPTION: Love Love Letters Cabaret presents\: THE LADY Fall into a world of romance inspired by the 1940s and old Hollywood.

Show at 8\:00 A group of actors and dancers were invited to create work for this new production. They were given the direction to use black\, white and grey\, for their creative land scape. They were also told to incorporate one red thing into their piece. This production is proving to be a dynamic salon full of unexpected twists and turns! It is also proving to own a great deal of thought provoking content. The performers\, while creating their work\, had to ask themselves what their one red thing would be. The question then became "What is my one red thing?" Come to the show and find out! Tickets can be purchased in advance through box office\: 416 975.8555. $17.00 each. But before you come to the show\, ask yourself what is your one red thing? That you wish to celebrate? Or does it make you angry? Or.... what is the one red thing that you wish to hide away from the rest of the world\, and always keep secret\, deep inside yourself ?

Soprano\, Adanya Dunn\, is to perform ‘The Cow’ with the Canadian Children’s Opera Company Toronto\, ON – April 26\, 2013. Canadian Children’s Opera Company (CCOC) alumna\, soprano Adanya Dunn\, is to perform the role of ‘The Cow’ in their back-by-popular-demand opera production of Laura’s Cow\: The Legend of Laura Secord by Errol Gay (composer) and Michael Albano (librettist)\, after it made its world premiere last year as part of the opening of Luminato Festival 2012\, opening to rave reviews. May 3-5\, 2013 at the Enwave Theatre\, Harbourfront Centre (416-973-4000). “I knew that being a “talking cow” would be fun\, but it is such a pleasure and a rewarding experience to be a cow written with such depth and personality. She’s courageous\, wise\, out-spoken\, and yes\, even flirtatious! I’ve been finding my inner cow!” says Toronto-born soprano Adanya Dunn who will be appearing as “The Cow” on Saturday\, May 4th at 7\:30pm and Sunday\, May 5th at 2pm. Michael Albano\, the librettist and director of this production says that\, "Writers have long been obsessed with the whimsical idea of animals talking and in our production\, Laura's cow becomes\, in part\, her conscience\, urging Laura to take a less passive role in the 1812 conflict." Ms. Dunn is a proud alumna of the CCOC and of the Etobicoke School of the Arts’ Musical Theatre Program. She is a recent graduate from the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Music (B.Mus. ’12) and just completed her first year of the Opera Master’s program at U of T\, where she sang the role of ‘The Governess’ in Benjamin Britten’s opera The Turn of the Screw. This production also featured two current members of the CCOC\, 12-year-old Gabe Gough and 14-year-old Sebastian Gayowsky. The Canadian Children’s Opera Company is an integral part of Canada’s musical scene. They are the only children’s opera chorus in North America that regularly commissions and produces new operas for children\, to be performed by children. Further to this\, they are the permanent children’s chorus to the Canadian Opera Company (COC)\, and have strong connections to U of T’s Faculty of Music. The director and librettist of Laura’s Cow\, Michael Albano is the Senior Lecturer and Resident Stage Director at U of T’s Opera Division\, and has directed at the COC\, New York City Opera\, and Opera Theatre of St. Louis. The conductor of this production and Executive Artistic Director of the CCOC\, Ann Cooper Gay is a graduate of the Opera Division and performed both in the chorus and as a soloist with the COC. Errol Gay\, composer of this opera\, was a conductor and chorus master with the COC for several years. This original children’s opera was commissioned and produced by the 200-voice Canadian Children’s Opera Company to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812 and Laura Secord’s heroic walk on June 22\, 1813. This 70-minute show celebrates the mythology and the reality of the iconic Canadian heroine\, and is suitable for audiences of all ages. Laura’s Cow runs from Thursday May 2 to Sunday May 5\, 2013\, at the Enwave Theatre (Harbourfront Centre)\, and includes both school matinees and public performances. Laura’s Cow is a musical extravaganza of the War of 1812’s most famous story\: overhearing billeted American officers discussing a surprise attack\, the wife of a wounded Canadian militiaman undertakes a grueling trek through enemy-occupied territory to warn the British garrison at Beaver Dams—masking her journey’s true intent by travelling with her cow. In addition to the large cast of children and youth\, the opera features professional design and direction\, as well as guest artists including Andrew Love (baritone – Lt. FitzGibbon) and a 13- piece orchestra conducted by Executive Artistic Director Ann Cooper Gay. “The joy is that kids can do anything that adults can do\,” says Ann Cooper Gay\, “You just need to believe in them and hold them to a high standard.” (CBC Radio\, June 2012) This electrifying opera will help ensure that Laura Secord is properly honoured and remembered by Canadians young and old. The enchanting voices of the Canadian Children’s Opera Company help keep our history alive\, not only by sharing the opera with other children\, but by creating a new part of our national heritage with Laura’s Cow!

This will redefine the practical approach to therapy of all energy-based healthcare systems including BodyTalk. The treatment and understanding of the bodymind through the energy systems has been practiced for centuries. It is currently enjoying a significant increase in popularity because of the way biophysics has redefined science in its understanding of how the body works. There is\, however\, a significant weakness in this study. Once you start examining the systems you realize how fragmented the knowledge is. For example\, in Chinese Medicine you may learn that the term Qi refers to ‘life-force’ and then later study the Indian Systems and learn that the term Prana is referring to the same idea\, or is it? And what about Kundilini\, where does it fit into the mix? Similarly\, you may learn about the meridians of Chinese acupuncture and then discover that Japanese acupuncture has a different viewpoint on how they operate. Or the fact that in Chinese Medicine there is a great deal of information on energy and blood (Stagnant Chi/blood) this information can be very useful when prescribing herbs but has little application within energy medicine. About the course\: • Has no perquisites • Early Bird discount of $75 to the first 20 students who register • Application within any energy modality • Comparison of Traditional Medical Systems • Comprehensive Investigation into the Kundilini Energy • Detailed look into Chakras • Exploration of the Connectome of the brain and heart-brain • Comprehensive look at the 12 Main and 8 extra Ancestral Meridians • Insight into the influence of the environment on disease • Deeper understanding of space/time • Discussion of where energy comes from and how it enters the body • Examine healthy versus pathological expression of consciousness CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP;TZID=US-Eastern:20130521T111242 LAST-MODIFIED;TZID=US-Eastern:20130521T111242 CREATED;TZID=US-Eastern:20130521T111242 DTSTART;TZID=US-Eastern:20130503T090000 DTEND;TZID=US-Eastern:-00011130T000000 UID:20130521T111242-71207@blogto.com SUMMARY:KNOCKOUT 2013 @ THE GUVERNMENT 647-678-5063 LOCATION:The Guvernment URL:http://www.blogto.com/events/71207 DESCRIPTION:CROWN EVENTS Presents\: The 3rd Annual\: *** KNOCKOUT 2013 *** Thursday March 14th Inside The Entire Guvernment Entertainment Complex _______________________________________________________ For one night only\, we will capture memories to last us a lifetime.

EARLY BIRD Tickets on sale now\: www.wantickets.com/thisisprovoke Featuring\: Carl Craig http\://www.carlcraig.net/ http\://soundcloud.com/carlcraiginc https\://www.facebook.com/carlcraigofficial?fref=ts https\://twitter.com/carlcraignet Carl Craig is described as a creative visionary\, a groundbreaking electronic music icon\, an inspirational artist\, an esteemed Grammy-nominated composer\, a world-class DJ and an ambassador for his native Detroit. Yet the common thread that runs through Craig’s broad musical canon and creative projects is a resounding fascination with futurism. Carl Craig has cultivated a unique path as an artist\, entrepreneur and civic leader\, guided by his tendency toward forward thinking. Craig released his first track in 1989. One of his earliest mentors and first collaborator was Derrick May\, whose imprint Craig also released some of his early music on. In 1991\, wanting pure artistic freedom\, Craig set up his own label Planet-E and released ‘4 Jazz Funk Classics’\, under the moniker 69\, as the label’s first release. From here his wild exploration of sound intensified… A Gemini true to form\, with a mind that never sits still\, Craig has released a diverse range of experimental and groundbreaking music under a plethora of aliases including 69\, BFC\, C2\, Innerzone Orchestra (‘Bug in the Bassbin’ was credited as the spark that inspired the evolution of drum‘n’bass)\, No Boundaries\, Psyche\, Paperclip People\, Tres Demented\, Urban Tribe and many more. He has also produced albums for the legendary Detroit Jazz collective Tribe as well as orchestrator / pianist Francesco Tristano and French producer Agoria. Live he has collaborated with Les siècles orchestra at Cité de la Musique in Paris. A meeting of techno and classical music\, the concert was described as “historical”\, Craig went on to repeat the formula in Milan and Germany. He regularly performs live as experimental outfit Trio with Moritz Von Oswald and Francesco Tristano\, sometimes as Narod Niki alongside Villalobos\, Luciano\, Richie Hawtin\, Zip and others\, and regularly does part live and part DJ with Luciano. Additionally he’s taken to occasionally bringing keyboardists like Mike Banks (UR)\, Amp Fiddler and Tristano into the DJ booth with him for special one-off gigs. He also improvised live to an Andy Warhol film at the Unsound Festival in New York. In 2011\, Craig went live as 69 for the first time ever\, fusing masks\, darkness and the music of 69\, Craig created 69’s own entity and previewed the show to a few select festivals and clubs around the world. His remixes discography boasts some of the most desirable names in music – LCD Soundsystem\, Hot Chip\, Junior Boys (nominated for a Grammy Award)\, Gavin Russom & Delia Gonzalez\, Theo Parrish\, Tori Amos\, Can\, Goldfrapp\, Friendly Fires\, Caribou\, Tiga\, Unkle\, Yello and more. As well as an outlet for his own productions\, his Planet-E imprint has given a home to a wide range of Detroit-based artists including Francesco Mora Catlett\, Naomi Daniel\, Flexitone\, Jason Hogans\, Kenny Larkin\, Monty Luke\, Moodyman\, Mike Agent X\, Oliverwho Factory\, Ezana Harris\, Recloose\, Reference\, Kevin Saunderson\, Big Tone\, Tribe\, Urban Tribe\, and Chaz Vincent. Staying strong to his Detroit roots\, where he still lives today\, Craig helped launched the Detroit Electronic music Festival in 2000 and remains a strong force at the festival today. He has also created and launched his non-profit 501-C3 Carl Craig Foundation\: “The concept is to find ways to re-educate kids about what’s interesting musically that you can’t get on the radio… To develop a new music scene that follows the legacy of Detroit music being diverse and interesting\, to spot out the most talented young musicians coming out of high school and lend small financial grants to encourage music education at a higher level.” When Craig explains his philosophy\, his wry sense of humor seeps into his explanations of far-reaching concepts that merge worlds together. “I have a very special career. When I feel that I’m tired of going on the road I can go in the studio. When I’m tired of concentrating on the studio I can go on the road. I can work with concert pianists\, jazz musicians or rock guys. Very few people have that range of interests. Very few people juggle a career that they choose specifically.” No one else can pull it all together quite like Carl Craig.

Thompson uses photography as a powerful tool to reflect upon his struggle to connect in a distant world and guide his search for identity and compassion. His photographs are haunting documents of those who inhabit the cities where he travels and the traces that they leave behind. Max Regenberg has been conducting a long-term photographic study of billboards in public spaces since the late 1970s. After finishing his training as an advertising photographer in Germany in 1977\, he immigrated to Toronto to work for three years\, during which time he was inspired to undertake his billboard series. Advertising myths meet the urban landscape of western European and North American cities\, resulting in a unique tension between two visual systems which draws attention to how public space and everyday life are continually economized through the aesthetic impact of the visual and verbal codes of advertising.

The sixth annual ‘So You Think You Can Cook’ Fiddlehead Culinary Competition pits three executive chefs\, Dan Leblanc (Chef de Cuisine Niagara College Benchmark in Niagara-on-the-Lake\, Ontario)\, Jonathan Viau (from The Distillery in Toronto\, Ontario)\, and Abbey Solomon (from Lookout Point Country Club in Port Colborne\, Ontario) against one another to see who can create the best fiddlehead appetizer\, main or dessert.

Each dish will be scrutinized by a panel of some of Canada’s top chefs including\: Rob Rainford\, Massimo Capra\, Therese DeGrace\, John Higgins and Christopher Ennew. This year\, the event is in memory of SickKids patient Miranda Bauer. Miranda was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma\, a cancer of the connective tissues\, shortly after her 16th birthday.

New music for old instruments! Composers are invited to submit a new 5- minute work for the Aradia Ensemble playing on period instruments. The audience then votes on their favourite and gives comments on the works. The winner of the project (combining audience votes\, the opinions of the performers) is then commissioned to write a new work for the following season. (Chris Meyers\, winner of the first Baroque Idol project had his work Sweetest Love premiered last season.) It became apparent in the first Barque Idol\, that in some instances it would have been more fulfilling to have the composers combine their efforts with their own ensemble performing with Aradia. To this end Aradia is happy to announce that this Baroque Idol will see Aradia performing and working alongside Ronley Teper and her Lipliners. Aradia has also invited the young new music group the Thin Edge New Music Collective to be part of the concert. As if that isn’t enough—Mezzo soprano\, Mario Newman will be singing in several numbers! New music for period instruments\, Aradia Ensemble and Mezzo soprano Marion Newman\, the Thin Edge New Music Collective and Ronley Teper and the Lipliners. Promises to be a good evening!

Line-Up\: Chester Hare [DanceThroughLife Records] Canadian born DJ/producer Chester Hare (aka Adrian Chowanec) developed an obsession with electronic music early age\, attempting to emulate the sounds of such acts as the Chemical Brothers\, Moby\, CJ Bolland\, the Crystal Method and Josh Wink in his early teens. Since then he has shifted his focus to house music and produced his first single at the age of 22. Shortly after completion of his first track\, Chester took up DJing. He adopted an unorthodox\, highly technical\, and ambitious DJ technique involving long edits\, excessive layering\, and a mashup-bootleg modus operandi\, not typically seen in the deep house world. While his primary interests are deep house and minimal techno\, Chester does not confine himself to any particular genre or subgenre. His sets range from wonky and dissonant UK bass to the occasional splash of grimey electro with lots of soulful and funky tech house in between. Likewise\, the production aspect of Chester's portfolio is unpredictable\, open minded\, and experimental. https\://soundcloud.com/chesterhare CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP;TZID=US-Eastern:20130521T111242 LAST-MODIFIED;TZID=US-Eastern:20130521T111242 CREATED;TZID=US-Eastern:20130521T111242 DTSTART;TZID=US-Eastern:20130503T220000 DTEND;TZID=US-Eastern:20130504T023000 UID:20130521T111242-74817@blogto.com SUMMARY:Where Music Lives Artist Showcase LOCATION:Li'ly Lounge URL:http://www.blogto.com/events/74817 DESCRIPTION:onight Li'Ly Lounge (656 College St) is Where Music Lives as we showcase some of our hottest talent from our Canadian roster\, expect a night of good music\, great vibes and some serious bass wrapped up with a bit of lyrical madness!

Since its inception in Toronto in 2007\, Jane’s Walk has expanded rapidly. In May of 2011\, 511 walks were held in 75 cities in 15 countries worldwide.

Gallery Catalyst opening May 4th 2013\, at 666 Queen St. West\, is located deep within the heart of the gallery district. Featuring many young\, underground artists\, Gallery Catalyst maintains one of its most important goals\, to promote local artists from within the community. Owner Brian Liss\, who founded Affairs of the Art in 1983 and changed the name to Liss Gallery in 1996\, now located in Yorkville currently represents over 90 artists. This year\, Brian decided to turn his attention to another part of Toronto\, Queen West. The inception of Gallery Catalyst came from a passion for original contemporary art to be accessible and affordable\, while keeping the gallery’s direct focus on Toronto artists. Each piece you find at Gallery Catalyst will be one of a kind including the custom framing available onsite. The gallery’s revolutionary opus alters a traditional space into a welcoming\, self-service exhibition. This idea is fashioned by a simple concept\, one format for one price. Which is the same for all artists. Some of the artists featured are Johnathan Ball\, Cody Smith\, Adrienne Dagg\, and Tanja Tiziana. By offering three sizes of art for three prices\, all of the artists are then represented on an equal footing\, making original contemporary art affordable and accessible. This policy offers art lovers a simple and suitable means of purchasing contemporary art. Gallery Catalyst is available as an event space for artists and corporate events alike.

We feature many local artists and offer original works only. Each piece you find at our gallery will be a one of a kind original. In a market that is inaccessible and compartmentalized we have revolutionized the way people look at art. We have a self-service exhibition space and represent all our artists on an equal footing. We do this with a simple concept\, one format for one price\, which is the same for all artists. We offer three sizes of art for three prices\, simple. This makes original contemporary art affordable and assessable and we feature new artists regularly. One of our most important goals is to promote local artists within our community.

Viewers are invited to witness the private space of a female subject undergoing a process of self‐examination. Techniques of multiple‐exposure and thematic fragmentation are used to create a single image with a multi‐layered and multi‐perspectival field of view. The series challenges traditional art‐historical modes of female representation and gender‐based viewing\, and asks the viewer to reinterpret the ways in which female self‐image is formed. Munn’s current work combines contemporary photography and historical processes\, creating images\, which are both real and fantastical. Her large‐scale collages are constructed from multiple images printed from 4x5 negatives using traditional darkroom techniques and finished in beeswax. A graduate of Ryerson University’s School of Image‐ Arts (2011)\, Munn’s first solo show debuts for CONTACT (2013) and explores the festival theme Field of Vision.This year Renée Munn is Akasha Art Project’s primary photographer on exhibition during Scotiabank’s CONTACT 2013 Photography Festival CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP;TZID=US-Eastern:20130521T111242 LAST-MODIFIED;TZID=US-Eastern:20130521T111242 CREATED;TZID=US-Eastern:20130521T111242 DTSTART;TZID=US-Eastern:20130504T180000 DTEND;TZID=US-Eastern:20130504T220000 UID:20130521T111242-74498@blogto.com SUMMARY:CONTACT Kick-Off in The Junction LOCATION:The Junction URL:http://www.blogto.com/events/74498 DESCRIPTION:The Junction BIA is proud to Kick-Off CONTACT Photography Festival with an Opening Gala Reception taking place on May 4th.

Tickets $25.00 (plus s.c.) | Doors @ 8pm | 19+ Event Tix\: http\://www.ticketmaster.ca/event/10004A3A87A41541?artistid=1543667&majorcatid=10001&minorcatid=201\, Rotate This & Soundscapes https\://www.facebook.com/jamesblakemusic http\://1-800-dinosaur.tumblr.com/ http\://jamesblakemusic.com It is not the first time a DJ has saved someone’s life\, and it won’t be the last\, but when a teenage James Blake first visited the London club night in 2007\, his mind was well and truly knocked for six. Down in the pitch-black basement of Plastic People the DJs played grime and garage\, and James liked it. Loved it\, in fact. He’d never heard anything like it before. He’d been to drum ’n’ bass nights with schoolfriends\, but the music here was different\, the atmosphere unlike anything he’d experienced. This was what James had been waiting for – he just hadn’t realised. “I thought\, this drives me so far into my own head\, much more than anything has ever done\,” he says\, “and it was so loud and dark in there.” This midnight epiphany in a Shoreditch cellar led\, in a few short years\, to the James Blake of 2010\, a surefooted 22-year-old composer whose extraordinary tracks are not so much breaking down existing musical barriers as leaping over them and creating an entirely new kind of pop that belies its author’s tender age. Loosely tethered to dubstep\, but displaying an astonishing grasp of songwriting and electronic production\, James’s songs possess uncommon grace and soulfulness. Whether intended for the FWD>> dancefloor or\, like new single ‘Limit to Your Love’\, destined to melt hearts and prick ears\, his music is characterised by a playful and arresting honesty\, a human touch that naturally aligns him with contemporary artists such as Bon Iver or Laura Marling or the xx. Yet more than this\, it is the shock of the new in James’s music that’s causing real commotion\: the sounds\, that voice\, the silence\, the rhythm (or lack of it)\, the waiting\, the tension… You have to know the rules in order to break them with such conviction\, and by daring to be different\, James stands head and shoulders above his peers. No doubt\, you’ll remember where you were when you heard “Limit to Your Love’ or ‘I Never Learnt to Share’ for the first time. His debut album\, released early next year\, promises to change the game. So who is this wunderkind? James Blake was born in 1988 and raised in leafy Enfield\, north London\, the only child of a musician father and a graphic designer mother. Both self-employed and successful in their respective fields\, they instilled in their son a determination to do things his own way and to never work for anyone but himself. At six\, James began to learn the piano and was later taught classically\, completing the grades\, which he didn’t enjoy but saw the importance of it. “I had a sense at an early age that if I was improving then it must be a good thing\,” he says. “So I stuck with it. I could see I was getting better at the piano.” In his teens\, James would improvise and practise singing\, and liked to play along to old Motown and soul records\, Otis Redding and so on. By doing this\, he learnt about harmony. “I’d be learning classical harmony and also how to play gospel organ — I was really into gospel quite early on\, like real gospel\, the Reverend James Cleveland and amazing stuff that was interesting to me pianistically. Then I got into [jazz pianists] Art Tatum and Erroll Garner\, though I was never into jazz. I always felt that jazz had had its day and I was looking for something else\, something new.” Although his father had plenty of recording gear and instruments in his studio\, James only became interested in this side of things after that trip to FWD>>\, when he realised the only way to make new sounds would be to get a copy of music-making program Logic and to start to copy the “pure\, original dubstep” he adored by the likes of Mala and Coki\, the Digital Mystikz. Slowly\, he trickled his own musical ideas into these tracks. Not only spurred James into producing\, it also provided him with a new social scene\, something he’d longed for\, having tired of the same old faces at sixth form and not quite adjusted to university life at Goldsmiths in south London\, where he was studying popular music. “There was a world of people my age making music that I found really exciting going on – I wanted to get in on that. And I saw the DJ and I thought\, I want to be there\, I want to be behind those decks. At the time I didn’t see any musical merit in DJing. It didn’t occur to me that it can be really rewarding musically\, as well as being a good opportunity to meet loads of nice people.” Uni offered James ample time to write music on his laptop and attend dubstep nights in Brixton and Shoreditch. His first single\, ‘Air and Lack Thereof’\, came out in 2009 on the Hemlock label\, run by Jack Dunning\, aka the producer Untold and now a good friend of James. This came about when Jack heard a track by James played by the DJ\, Distance\, on a Rinse FM radio show. He thought it sounded fresh and asked to sign it. Certainly\, James’s tracks sounded markedly different to almost every other dubstep or post-dubstep record being played. For a start\, they had chords. “Nothing else had chords at the time\,” he says. “And it wasn’t just chords either\, it was gospel chords\, organ chords.” The title ‘Air and Lack Thereof’ relates to one of James’s signature sounds\, white noise. “There’s a lot of horrible noise going on in the track\, but it actually sounds really pleasant. I’ve always been into layering noise with things because it puts them on their own pillow\, their own cloud. I like things to have their own bed of noise to sit on.” And when James DJs\, he’s quite happy to slip some silence into his sets. It’s not pretentious\, he says\, he just wants to break it up a bit. “You don’t really appreciate some sounds until you’re not hearing them.” James has released five singles this year\, to considerable acclaim\; for some reason\, bloggers tend to pick up on the sense of isolation in his work and love to ruminate over his intricate beats. A few of his key tracks feature heavily edited\, cut-up vocal samples from R&B records\, but on his radical reading of Feist’s ‘Limit to Your Love’ he sings the song himself\, layering his voice. It’s a powerful number. “‘Limit to Your Love’ was the first time I ever used my voice and I gave special attention to it\,” he says. “I thought\, well\, I’m using my voice here so I’ll do something extra innovative.” Some may be interested to know that he recorded that song 18 months ago and wasn’t even sure if he’d release it. Most of the album was written in his digs in New Cross and Deptford\, though he’d often return to Enfield to clear his head and compose. No distractions there\, no friends popping round\, and if he looks out of his window it’s green and silent. What’s revealing is that he wrote the songs for his album at the same time as he was putting out the more experimental 12-inches. “I went through a lot of sounds. And the weird thing is\, those songs don’t sound like anything on those 12-inches — they sound completely different.” What is consistent\, though\, is the intoxicating effect his music is having as more and more people fall under its spell. Twelve months ago he was virtually unknown. Now James is the darling of the cutting edge\, about to hit the mainstream\, and there’s no question that he knows what he’s doing. “I have an obsession with emotion\,” he says. “I want to make dance music that actually connects with people in the way that a soul record does. I want my music to speak to you like a folk record does\, in an organic\, human way. It’s the human touch that I want.” CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP;TZID=US-Eastern:20130521T111242 LAST-MODIFIED;TZID=US-Eastern:20130521T111242 CREATED;TZID=US-Eastern:20130521T111242 DTSTART;TZID=US-Eastern:20130504T200000 DTEND;TZID=US-Eastern:20130504T220000 UID:20130521T111242-74638@blogto.com SUMMARY:Monkey Toast LOCATION:The Comedy Bar URL:http://www.blogto.com/events/74638 DESCRIPTION:The Monkey Toast Players and Host Ron Tite return to The Comedy Bar this Saturday.

"Phosphorescent" came out of working with that device and "The Seafarer" was based on a dream Morgan had one night of a young girl traveling across the ocean.

We located a relatively new film\, that will premier in Toronto\, and we will Skype with the film's director\, narrator at the beginning of the evening. The film was made by a young Berber Muslim who was born in a small village in the Atlas Mountains were there were many Jews\; he moved to Paris with his family\, but over many years he returns to visit his relatives. He one day asks why there are empty stores and homes and learns that the Jews used to be there\, in significant number and were will respected and well liked but they all moved away some decades ago. He doesn't totally understand\, so over some period he goes to Israel to find the Moroccan Jews\, whom he discovers are still very attached to their Berber past. They are Berber/Moroccan/Israelis and like himself they speak many languages. The producer learned Hebrew to be able to communicate with the folks he finds in Israel but in the film\, there is Berber\, Arabic\, Hebrew and French. Its very well done\, and very moving. The history is well portrayed as are the sentiments of both Muslims and Jews with regard to the departure and immigration to Israel. Its not been easy on the people who moved but importantly\, they were not driven out\; no edict\, no pogrom\, no threats. They left as Israel was born\, either to seek a better life and fulfill the Messianic prophesy or because they were worried as Arabs elsewhere turned against the establishment of the Jewish state and punished their Jewish populations.

Well fasten your seat belt and prepare the punch a very large hole in your foodie belt because here is your chance to experience fusion like you\\\\\\'ve never tasted before! Urban Acorn Catering owners Chef Daniel Holloway and Marie Fitrion have created a unique menu that combines their respective heritage for the Depanneur Supper Club. Chef Daniel\\\\\\'s prix fixe menu includes\: *Finnan Haddie* Hickory Smoked Haddock served with Tarragon Hollandaise\, Haitian Style Cabbage \\\\\\'Pikliz\\\\\\' and Fried Plantain Chips Lightly smoked Haddock (Haddie)\, an 18th century Scottish dish is paired with Pikliz (pronounced Pick-leez)\, a popular pickled cabbage from Haiti\, typically served with pork and plantain\, but lends itself well to smoked dishes like Finnon Haddie. *\\\\\\'Our Beloved Haggis\\\\\\'* Scotland\\\\\\'s National Dish stuffed with Braised Pork Shoulder \\\\\\'Griot\\\\\\' along side Cornmeal \\\\\\'Mayi Moulin\\\\\\' and Ti-Malice Hot Sauce Pork Griot is a one of Haiti\\\\\\'s most beloved meals\, made from cubed pork shoulder in an orange marinade\, slow roasted until tender\, then given a quick fry until caramelized. Haggis is the quintessential Scottish dish\, in which minced offals\, oatmeal and spices are encased and boiled into a hearty dish that has inspired poetry and tradition for centuries. *Millionaire Scone* Infused with Lavender & Lemon Curd served with Clotted Cream and Coconut Tablet Cocoye The traditional UK scone is thought to have been first prepared in Scotland in the 16th century. Tablet Cocoye is a one of the oldest Haitian confections\, made from grated coconut and seasoning that resembles a lattice cookie. The flavours of caramelized coconut and buttery scone against the lemony curd and rich cream make for an exquisite finish to the meal.

In a culture that venerates Mother Teresa as a paragon of virtue\, businessmen sit in stoic silence while their pursuit of profits is denounced as selfish greed. In this talk\, Dr. Yaron Brook—executive director of the Ayn Rand Institute and co-author ofFree Market Revolution\: How Ayn Rand’s Ideas Can End Big Government—will demonstrate how Ayn Rand’s revolutionary ethics of rational self-interest supply the moral foundation that previous proponents of capitalism lacked. Dr. Brook will explain why individual rights are crucial for capitalism’s survival—why productivity and profit\, the “selfish greed” that conservatives abhor\, are not vices but cardinal virtues. Bio\: Yaron Brook (MBA\, University of Texas at Austin\; PhD\, Finance\, University of Texas at Austin) is the executive director of the Ayn Rand Institute. He is a columnist at Forbes.com\, and his articles have been featured in the Wall Street Journal\, USA Today\, Investor’s Business Daily\, and many other publications. He is a frequent guest on national radio and television programs and is co-author with ARI fellow Don Watkins of the national best-seller Free Market Revolution\: How Ayn Rand’s Ideas Can End Big Government.

This cutting-edge double bill is rooted in each artist’s take on intimacy\, solitude and the attempt to connect. Performed by an ensemble of five exquisite dancers\, X-ODUS and Crave run Tuesday\, May 7 to Saturday\, May 11 at Enwave Theatre as part of Harbourfront Centre’s NextSteps. In X-ODUS\, Allen Kaeja utilizes his trademark “hyper physical\, high impact choreography” (Toronto Star) to uncover pathways and connections between five individuals as they struggle to find intimacy\, vulnerability and depth in their fragile and explosive journeys. Karen Kaeja’s Crave is a telling duet of the beauty and chaos of intimacy that explores how lack of intimacy makes us both seek and reject the other – and our contradictory desires in the triangle of coupledom\: person\, person\, couple. Racing hearts navigate loneliness\, unsettledness and the hope that keeps us hanging on. Kaeja d’Dance’s Porch View Dances was the “Best Site-Specific Work” of 2012\, “exploring the very essence of what makes us human…a poster child for site-specific dance done right.” Globe & Mail Kaeja d’Dance presents X-ODUS and Crave part of Harbourfront Centre’s NextSteps Choreographed by Allen Kaeja and Karen Kaeja Dancers\: Michael Caldwell\, Zhenya Cerneacov\, Karen Kaeja\, Merideth Plumb\, Stéphanie Tremblay-Abubo Tuesday\, May 7 – Saturday\, May 11\; 8pm Harbourfront Centre’s Enwave Theatre\, 231 Queens Quay West\, Toronto\, ON M5J 2G8 Tickets\: $18-$39 ($100 gala tickets also available for May 11 in addition to regular price) Harbourfront Centre Box Office\: 416-973-4000 OR online at www.kaeja.org -30- CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP;TZID=US-Eastern:20130521T111242 LAST-MODIFIED;TZID=US-Eastern:20130521T111242 CREATED;TZID=US-Eastern:20130521T111242 DTSTART;TZID=US-Eastern:20130507T200000 DTEND;TZID=US-Eastern:20130528T210000 UID:20130521T111242-74376@blogto.com SUMMARY:Intro to Salsa LOCATION:City Dance Corps URL:http://www.blogto.com/events/74376 DESCRIPTION: Intro to Salsa Course with Cornell Mannings Tue Date\: May 07\, 2013 to May 28\, 2013 From\: 8\:00 PM - 9\:00 PM 4 week Salsa dance course - Preregistration required.

Drugs were a key part of a physician’s “toolkit.” As we entered the era of blockbuster drugs\, most drugs were small molecules created by chemical synthesis\, but biotechnology was beginning to emerge as a possible source of new therapeutics. Meanwhile\, direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertising began to empower patients. Fast-forward to today and we see pharmaceutical companies suffering degraded reputations and values\, patients being empowered by the Internet and social media\, and average life expectancies increasing by a decade. Digital health technologies are posed to explode and the top 10 pharmaceuticals by sales will soon all be biologicals!

A Featured Exhibition of the Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival. Known for their constructed photographic and video works which\, at times\, used as material for creating their large installtions\, Botto + Bruno continue to be interested in investigating the revolts\, wishes and dreams of teenagers who live in the immense suburbs of our planet. For their exhibition at Pari Nadimi Gallery\, Botto+ Bruno present an installation of a large wallpaper\, as the center piece of the exhibition\, made out of A3 sized photocopies. The photocopies start with a text (a text cut up from Ballard\\'s Kingdom Come) and then develop into drawings and finally in black and white photography. A number of small works with grey background and white framed\, made of a drawing and a photo collage\, are placed over the wallpaper. The installation also includes 3 large photographs. Every A3 and large photographs contains Botto + Bruno’s investigations of marginal places that are photographed\, selected\, archived\, assembled\, photocopied by the artists to make the final collage. The installation is a project that starts from a raw objective data and then becomes material for moulding. It breaks up and rearranges itself to become a hint\, the phantom of a landscape made of a horizon line reaches for the infinite\, tries to get close to a musical score carrying the rhythm of its architectural fullness and emptiness\, where nature and abandoned architectures meet and clash\, memory and daily routine reactivate one another\, the walking experience becomes part of the work. Botto + Bruno have been part of the prestigious international biennales such as\: 49th Venice Biennale curated by Harald Szeemann titled “House where nobody lives” (2001). 8th Shanghai Biennale (2010). Busan Biennale (Korea 2002).

In 2010\, MacDonald and his brother embarked on a vagabond road trip across Canada with ten rolls of expired Kodachrome and a point-and-shoot camera. The resulting images are snapshots that document their journey. There\, Not There is a nostalgic reflection on their trip\, in which MacDonald’s photographs are paired with a corresponding image from Google Street View. Andrew's work uses Google Street View as a database to trace a local journey along Dundas West in Toronto while representing the collection of images together from the recent past.

In Altered Perspectives\, Macri continues his on-going investigation of the transforming landscape of North American culture. In the tradition of Hiroshi Sujimoto\, the texture and contrast of the photograph are used to imprint an image of decaying\, industrial archeology. Photographing abandoned factories\, oil refineries\, airports\, cityscapes and rugged expanses altered by its occupants\, Anthony Macri reveals the disregarded conduct of North American transformation as it endures economic strife and societal shifts. Macri realizes the imprint of civilization and its impact on the landscape through beautifully toned traditional lith prints that give new life to otherwise forgotten places. Graveyards of cars\, vacuum cleaners and air crafts attest to our temporal lifestyle and its sustainability\, depicting altered perspectives of both familiar and not-so-familiar surroundings. This collection of photographs exhumes skeletons of eras passed\, in an ecological survey of the landscape scarred by the passage of mankind. Anthony has been chasing bone yards across the United States for six years.

LOCATION:Revue Cinema URL:http://www.blogto.com/events/75520 DESCRIPTION:The Rep will be making it's Toronto premiere on Wednesday May 22nd at 7\:00pm at The Revue Cinema\, and you're all invited. Tickets are available at the theatre box office\, and are $11.00. All profits from the screenings go to the awesome Revue Cinema! There will be a followup screening on Thursday\, May 23rd at 9\:30pm for those who can't make it to the first showing. For more information about The Revue check out\: www.revuecinema.ca For more information about The Rep\, check out\: www.therepseries.com ---------------------------------------------------- THE REP reveals that the passion for a cinematic experience is still alive. The question is\, will a greater audience recognize their cultural value before it’s too late? The film follows the lives of three uber film geeks during the first year of operations of a single-screen repertory cinema. Dubbed ‘The Underground Cinema’ by its gang of misfits\, Alex\, Charlie and Nigel will stop at nothing to see their theatre succeed. In the face of strong competition from big box theatres\, local cinematheques and home video\, it’s a constant struggle to stay afloat. Throw in 12-hour workdays\, having no semblance of a personal life and all the normal stresses of working day in/day out with the same people… things couldn’t be much more of an uphill battle. THE REP also takes a broader look at the world of repertory cinema in North America. Currently being devalued by studios\, corporate theatres and patrons themselves\, movies have become less of an experience and more of an activity. Watching a film is something you just do to pass the time\, rather than the event and spectacle they once were. Repertory cinema is an ever-shrinking but ever-passionate world of film lovers trying to keep the experience of cinema alive. The film features interviews with theatres such as Film Forum in NYC\, The Alamo Drafthouse in Austin\, The New Beverly Cinema in L.A.\, The Hollywood Theatre in Portland\, The Bijou Art Cinemas in Eugene and Blue Sunshine in Montreal. It also features celebrity commentary from Kevin Smith\, John Waters\, Atom Egoyan\, George A. Romero and many more. ---------------------------------------------------- CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP;TZID=US-Eastern:20130521T111242 LAST-MODIFIED;TZID=US-Eastern:20130521T111242 CREATED;TZID=US-Eastern:20130521T111242 DTSTART;TZID=US-Eastern:20130508T180000 DTEND;TZID=US-Eastern:20130508T203000 UID:20130521T111242-75699@blogto.com SUMMARY:"Robots in War\: Early Lessons from the Middle East\, Libya and North America" LOCATION:165 University Avenue (University & Adelaide)\, 4th Floor URL:http://www.blogto.com/events/75699 DESCRIPTION:When the US entered Iraq in 2003\, they had fewer than 100 UAVs\; by 2009\, they had over 7\,000.

Wednesday\, May 08\, 2013 Carlton Cinema\, 20 Carlton St\, Toronto\, Ontario Doors open at 6\:45pm. FREE SCREENING The roving Australian cartoonist collective known as the Caravan of Comics will be hosting a screening of the documentary Graphic Novels!

Following the screening\, stick around for a fun Q&A with the film’s director Daniel Hayward\, and some of the great cartoonists featured in the film. Afterparty follows at The Pilot Tavern\, Bloor & Yonge. About The Film\: Over the past five years\, graphic novel publishing has arrived in Australia\, and it is overwhelmingly based in Melbourne. In ‘Graphic Novels! Melbourne!’ we meet the artists and the publishers of this new phenomenon in Australian book publishing. The film investigates the comic book community of Melbourne\, out of which the graphic novel artists have grown. The city and suburbs of Melbourne feature as backdrops against which the film\, the artists and the graphic novels are set. As part of this documentary\, we witness comic books in Melbourne entering university studies\, literature festivals\, and art galleries. ‘Graphic Novels! Melbourne!’ uncovers an energetic\, diverse and productive comics culture on the streets of Melbourne. Itinvestigates the life and work off our local graphic novelists in particular\: Pat Grant\, Nicki Greenberg\, Mandy Ord and Bruce Mutard. There are also interviews with fourinternational comic book luminaries\: Scott McCloud\, Shaun Tan\, Dylan Horrocks and Paul Gravett\, all of whom lend their perspective to the development of comics culture in Melbourne. ‘Graphic Novels! Melbourne!’ is the definitive introduction to the Melbourne comics explosion!

While one part of the conference focuses on increasing awareness about fair trade and the positive impact it may have on underdeveloped communities\, it is equally important to promote social action. For this reason\, alongside a set of guest lecturers\, we will also be hosting local fair trade organizations who will showcase their wonderful initiatives and products.

Students have examined the growing gap between rich and poor in the city and how it is reflected by the neighborhoods they live in. Students set out to document and elevate their marginalized neighborhoods by playing with “official” images of coat of arms and city hall paraphernalia. The noble beasts found on crests are replaced by gentrifying pigeons\, traditional tartans are replaced with gang patterns and the key to the city becomes a crobar. The use of low-tech mediums such as silkscreen prints\, cardboard and spray paint pokes fun at the seriousness usually found in the ceremonies of municipal politics and the mythology of a city. The Oasis Arts & Social Change Program (ASC) is an alternative arts school program in the TDSB where students do not require an art portfolio upon entry. This increases access for marginalized students who may be interested in the arts but have yet to develop their skills in the area. The majority of ASC students have faced barriers such as poverty\, homophobia\, transphobia\, racism\, mental health issues and learning difficulties which have kept them from succeeding in a mainstream school system. The Arts & Social Change program re-engages these at-risk youth through arts programming with a focus on activism.

The relationships between art and home\, art and life\, home and studio\, and the interstitial space between image and object are drawn together through photography\, temporary installations\, and found or fabricated objects. Photographic documents of small gestures\, subtle interventions\, and material constructions move in the universe of the everyday. Common artifacts are re-imagined as a way to transform a routine experience\, promoting an active immersion in\, and reconsideration of\, small\, ordinary events. Her work proposes a heightened awareness of the prosaic\, where present moments are transformed into a medium for communication\, and objects\, actions\, and seemingly insignificant encounters are assigned new meaning. Casasanta’s broader practice considers the exchange between art and the commonplace\, and the space between objects and their documentation. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Ontario College of Art and Design University (2005) and is a Master of Fine Arts candidate at the University of Guelph. She has exhibited her work in group exhibitions at the Art Institute of Chicago\, O’Born Contemporary\, Neubacher Shor Contemporary\, and Gallery TPW in Toronto\, and Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art in Winnipeg.

They only got rolling in 2009 but in 2011 they'd won CBC Radio 3’s best music blog\; a truly remarkable feat considering their love of dissonance. They have built a loyal following based on their relentless\, inclusive examination of life at the fringes of Canadian music past and present. As such\, they’re perfect partners for the Music Gallery’s parallel explorations in creative and experimental music. The fourth installment of Wyrd\, Weird Canada's traveling series of exploration and collaboration\, features an incredible lineup of otherworldly sound and vision traveling between The Music Gallery in Toronto and Casa Del Popolo in Montreal. This is a unique collaboration between Toronto's folk goddess Jennifer Castle and bog-lord Wyrd Visions. Harkening to their early\, experimental roots the two are recreating their magyk for the first time in years. Joining the ethereal duo is Zachary Fairbrother\, taking a departure from the proto-punk shreddery of Lantern to disarm audiences with his multi-amp\, multi-guitar feedback-drone orchestra\, sure to fill the Music Gallery with glorious standing waves of dense vibration. Isla Craig's sublime choral grooves\, amplified through collaboration with her Soul Sisters Supreme Redux 2.0\, completes Wyrd's sonic triumvirate. Installations by Alicia Nauta (murdertides.blogspot.com) In addition to the festive sounds\, Weird Canada's Aaron Levin and Jesse Locke plunge into the Music Gallery Editions (1976 - 1983) output for some heavy listening and analysis. Join us for a free afternoon event of listening and discussion about the Music Gallery’s vinyl past\, how it relates to Torontonian and Canadian music history.

Gabriela Casineanu présente MÉTAPHORES\, un nouveau travail photographique qui représente son parcours émotionnel en 2012. En utilisant une approche anthropomorphique\, elle transforme des symboles simples de la nature en métaphores de l'esprit humain. Guidée par son intuition\, Gabriela prend des photos qui lui “parlent” (et parfois en modifie les couleurs) pour mieux refléter l’état d'esprit ou l’émotion qu'elle voulait exprimer. L'exposition se veut une invitation à considérer la nature comme une source d'inspiration pour devenir plus heureux et résilient\, comme elle l'a ressentie plusieurs fois dans le passé. L'approche photographique de Gabriela ne cesse de progresser. Fascinée par la nature\, sa résilience et son pouvoir\, Gabriela explore de façon ambulatoire les multiples connexions entre les processus naturels et ceux de l’évolution humaine. Cette pratique a grandement approfondi son regard. Gabriela Casineanu est une artiste visuelle canadienne d'origine roumaine qui utilise le médium photographique et qui tout récemment a découvert le pouvoir de la vidéo. Transfuge de l'ingénierie informatique elle s'intéresse maintenant au coaching de systèmes réseautiques. Elle explore la photographie depuis 2001. Sa grande intuition visuelle l'aide à rendre des concepts abstraits plus tangibles. Une habileté qui lui a permis de créer une série d'albums de photo-coaching\, ce qui a lancé sa carrière artistique en 2011. Photographe autodidacte\, elle a eu des expositions solos en 2011 et 2012\, et est également boursière du Conseil des arts de l'Ontario. Elle vit et travaille à Toronto. -------------- MÉTAPHORES Exposition by Gabriela Casineanu under the mentorship of Mikel Mata Opening Reception\: Thursday May 9th from 6\:00-9\:00pm Free admission Exposition\: From May 1st to May 31st 2013 Hours of operation\: Tue-Fri. 10am-6pm\, Sat. 2pm-6pm Le Labo - www.lelabo.ca - 416 861 1853 - Distillery District - 9 Trinity Street - Suite 317 - Toronto - ON - M5A 3C4 An installation created as part of Le Labo’s Mentorship program. Gabriela Casineanu presents MÉTAPHORES\, a new photographic body of work representing the story of her emotional journey in 2012. By using an anthropomorphic approach\, she turns simple symbols found in nature into metaphors of the human spirit. Guided by her intuition\, Gabriela captured nature in photographs that «speak» to her\, and at times modified their colours to project a certain mood or feeling. The exhibition is an invitation to find in nature a source of inspiration to become happier and more resilient\, as she experienced many times in the past. Gabriela's photographic approach is a journey of discovery. Fascinated by nature\, its resilience and power\, she looks for connections between nature's processes and humans' journey during her hiking and exploration outings. Her willingness to capture these moments put her on an evolving path from simple snapshots of nature (mainly landscapes) to an intentional process of making those connections more meaningful. Gabriela Casineanu is a Romanian/Canadian visual artist using the medium of photography\, who has recently become fascinated by the power of video. As a lifelong learner\, she gradually shifted from engineering and IT to system coaching\, and allowed herself to express her artistic side through photography since 2001. Her passion for using visual\, to make abstract concepts more tangible\, lead her to create photocoaching albums\, and embracing an artistic career since 2011. Beyond the visual aspect\, she looks at photography as a medium to express meaningful and intentional connections that might be easily missed in such a stressful world. Gabriela is a self-taught photographer\, a juried artist and grant recipient of Ontario Arts Council. She lives and works in Toronto.

She is drawn toward the layering of shadows found on glass\, and she creates intriguing images by photographing ordinary objects through this transitional barrier. In Rearview\, talismans such as crystal rosaries\, beaded mandalas\, or miniature pagodas hang suspended from mirrors inside vehicles. These religious icons acquire mysterious meaning\; reflections from the outside intrude upon objects in the interior\, creating mood and story. The glass gives rise to an ambiguity that forces the viewer to become conscious of the space itself\, and this leads to a redefinition of the suspended object. In addition\, the fact that such intensely personal articles are on open display results in an intriguing tension between the private and the public. Other opposing dynamics appear – a figurine of the Virgin Mary hangs in front of a lacy wedding garter\; a metal swastika\, with all its conflicting historical connotations\, dangles beside a peaceful Buddha\, backlit with a golden glow ... a variety of amulets\, pendants\, medals\, and charms stand out against Toronto street reflections.

For her first solo exhibit at HUNTCLUB\, Lauren has created a complex body of work which harnesses the spirit of magical realism by straddling the line between memory and fantasy. Rooted in childhood summers spent forging new territory in the forests of Ontario and lakes of Western Canada\, Fish Songs explores the balance of playing in the dirt and in the dress-up box\, and between experiential and material values. Scales\, fins and wings embellish chandeliers\, creatures who dwell in dark waters\, and the story of a young protagonist who manages to marry the juxtapositions into one fantastical experience. Lauren Pirie is a multidisciplinary artist best known for her ink drawings\, which recently illustrated the children's book Ella And The Balloons In The Sky. When she is not creating images\, Lauren can be found championing the environment that so deeply inspires her work as co-founder and creative director of the art and environmental organization\, About Face Collective. The opening reception for Fish Songs of the Shining Waters will be held on Thursday May 9\, 2013\, from 7pm - 11pm.

The final works are layered\, eerie\, and graphically engaging\, and reveal the contingent nature of photography through the deconstruction and reconstruction of its original form. At once seductive and disturbing\, Lessons in Photography is an exhibition of enigmatic works that are revealing examinations of the act of looking.

They are the raw\, de-Wes Andersonization of The Rolling Stones\, Kinks\, Velvets\, Bowie\, etc. that a whole mess of young people desperately need. They create a sometimes-impressionistic\, sometimes-hyper-real portrait of sounds from specific places and times. Yet\, it never comes across as anything but absolutely modern music. They bring the manic\, freewheeling qualities of an artist like Ariel Pink to those aforementioned influences to make for one of the most refreshing listens of the year. They are the real deal and total savants. Their albums are love letters to vinyl collections. Jagjaguwar is proud to share with you Foxygen’s bedroom masterpiece\, Take the Kids Off Broadway. The first track\, “Abandon my Toys\,” only gives you two seconds of electronic soundery before acoustic instruments take over along with a vocal that sounds channeled in by a medium. “Why Did I Get Married?” plays like a mournful lounge act until about the two minute mark\, when it starts to crash into something else\, and a gooey kind of Ray Davies vocal gives way to shouts and barks. After you listen to even a few songs on the album\, any attempt to define its genre will start with a discussion and end with a shrug\, maybe a “rock and roll?” or a “psychedelic?” And that’s how shit needs to be said. More question marks. Less periods. Less declarations. Cause it’s only questions that can take us where we need to be\, to a place of profound and active ignorance. As a tiny organism adrift on a sea of infinite nuance\, ignorance is the only honest state of being. And Take the Kids off Broadway is an album full of question marks. It’s time for a motherfucking paradigm shift. Foxygen knows this. Or at least they sound like they do. A hard rain’s going to fall. Get ready.

A rich provenance as a community butcher shop and deli\, spiced by a reputation as a regular hangout for some of the city's most notorious card and craps games\, all lend a kind of racy cache to Czehoski\, our hip new restaurant and bar on Queen Street West. Even the understatement of our 1924 faded wooden sign with its peeling paint suggests that this is a place with an intriguing and colourful past. For those seeking the energy and vibe of Torontos newest nightlife frontier\, we offer it all\: fine tradition with a pulsing riff of contemporary design. And word of mouth has quickly made Czehoski the hot downtown destination where trend leading professionals and artisans banter with the urban chic who frequent this edgy section of Queen West. After more than two years of respectful restoration\, Czehoski today evokes a quirky blend of downtown sophistication and heritage warmth - a virtual time capsule of Toronto history with hardwood floors\, original brick walls\, and well-worn butcher block. The cooling display case that now houses our wines and beers\, once displayed sausages and cold cuts. Even the massive oak-clad walk-in cooler with its vault-like door has been inventively transformed to become a functioning part of our open kitchen. The use of leather\, glass and stainless adds stylish counterpoint to the original old wood and tarnished tin preserved from the old ceilings.

GALLERY HOURS\: Tuesday - Saturday\, 11 - 6 and by appointment. TELEPHONE\: 416.413.9555 ABOUT THE EXHIBITION Edith Maybin continues to explore the liminal space between girl and woman\, this time through the use of still life photography. Beautiful and troubling\, these in-camera constructions engage the viewer with both lucid detail and incomplete dreams. Fold upon fold\, a singular portal unveils a deceitful truth\, double-minded (untrustworthy) like photography itself. Themes of sexuality\, pain\, maturation\, independence and fear exist for both mother and daughter in this pivotal stage. Maybin's references find a common language within her layered dialogue. Artifice confuses the real\, much as in Dorothea Tanning's figurative paintings\, while visual elements from early 20th century surrealist film are suggested to form a rhetoric of transition\, an awkward adolescence. These photographs for Maybin continue the journey from the place of departure within the final images of the Garden Document. The external is left behind for an interior realm\, the surface penetrated in search of the soul. Maybin's work appears in a number of publications including The New Yorker Magazine\, The Times\, UK and various international public collections such as The National Gallery\, Canada\, Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography\, The National Portrait Gallery\, UK and private collections including The Sir Elton John Photography Collection. ABOUT THE ARTIST Edith Maybin (b. 1969 Canada) graduated in 2006 with an MA (Distinction) from The University of Wales and went on to win the title of Free Range 2006 Photographer of the Year\, Truman Brewery\, Brick Lane\, London. Maybin has also been selected for the 2006 AXA Art Photographic Portrait Commission with the National Museum of Wales\; 2007 Flash Forward Emerging Photographer\, Canada\; 2008 American Photo Magazine Emerging Artist\; and is a 2009 Hearst 8x10 Biennial\, winner\, New York. Maybin's work is part of the permanent collections of the National Gallery of Canada\, the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography\, the National Museum\, Wales\; the National Portrait Gallery\, London\; and the Sir Elton John Photography Collection. Maybin now works from Canada and the UK.

LOCATION:150 King Street West URL:http://www.blogto.com/events/75401 DESCRIPTION:Once a year\, the board of directors of Hudbay\, a Canadian mining company infamous for human rights abuses around the world\, converge in downtown Toronto. Come out on May 10th... ...in solidarity with Mayan Q’eqchi’ communities in their pursuit of justice for the violence carried out by Hudbay security in Guatemala. ...in solidarity with the Mathias Colomb Cree Nation as they stand up to Hudbay's efforts to criminalize them as they assert their rights to live off of and protect their land and waters as guardians of their territory. ...to hold Hudbay accountable as its executives\, board of directors\, and powerful shareholders gather here in Toronto. ...to stand up to corporate impunity and the continued colonization of indigenous territories across Turtle Island and the world! ________________________________________________ DETAILS\: WHEN\: 9\:30am May 10\, 2013 WHERE\: 150 King St. West\, Toronto WHY\: Around the world\, Hudbay robs Indigenous people of their lands\, destroys sensitive ecosystems\, supports brutal police and security operations\, and sues anyone who tries to resist their mining projects. ________________________________________________ BACKGROUND INFORMATION\: This year\, members of Indigenous Mayan Q’eqchi’ communities from Guatemala started a long and groundbreaking process of bringing Hudbay to trial here in this country for brutal shootings and 11 rapes by Hudbay security forces at their former mining project in Guatemala. Here in Canada\, the Mathias Colomb Cree Nation is being sued for hundreds of millions of dollars after holding two peaceful demonstrations outside of Hudbay's Snow Lake mine site. The Mathias Colomb Cree Nation has never been consulted by Hudbay or the province regarding this mining operation on their territory and has issued stop work notices to the company. In response to their peaceful gatherings at the mine site\, the Mathias Colomb Cree Nation has also been served an injunction\, making it illegal for the MCCN people to go on their own territory\, which is now considered mining company property. The effect of this injunction is that the MCCN people who live off of the land have been instantly criminalized and considered in contempt of court for continuing to hunt\, fish\, and protect the land and waters of their own territory.

Stepping outside of the usual representation of the Caribbean as paradise\, this series of black and white photographs portrays objects that Cubans have in their homes (as opposed to objects geared for tourists). These objects become a form of representation of self to self. Although likely perceived as kitsch by outsiders\, they fall within a model of beauty locally. This body of work continues the history of artists playing with the divide between high and low art. Taste may have personal elements but the notion of kitsch has a long history of categorizations within socio-economic class and culture. Much can be revealed of the person who makes kitsch\, the person who possesses kitsch and the person who defines what is kitsch or not.

The Manor opens Friday May 10 at Bloor Cinema\, then makes its way to Guelph May 31 and on to Kitchener/Waterloo and London on June 7. Other Canadian cities to follow. When Shawney Cohen was six his father bought The Manor\, a small-town strip club/motel. Thirty years later\, his father has ballooned to 400 pounds\, while his mother\, at 85 pounds\, ironically struggles with anorexia. And Shawney? He’s been a strip club manager for longer than he’s been a filmmaker. The two career paths dovetail in The Manor\, a soul-searching feature debut\, where he turns the camera on his father Roger\, mother Brenda\, brother Sammy\, and also on himself\, creating an intimate portrait of four people struggling to call themselves a family. Add in Roger’s right hand man Bobby – a French Canadian criminal with over 50 convictions on his rap sheet – along with a motley crew of patrons\, staff\, drug-addled tenants\, strippers and extended family members\, and you have the full cast of The Manor. Cohen seeks to pinpoint the effect this pile of bricks called The Manor has had on the dynamic of their “nice” Jewish family. In an attempt to gain deeper insight\, Cohen spends years filming in a shadowy world of sex\, drugs and family feuds. Yet through all the dysfunction Cohen also discovers an enduring desire to maintain the bonds that define a family. “I don’t consider this a film about a strip club\; it’s a film about my family\,” says Cohen. “What I originally intended as a summer part-time job at my family's strip club would end up becoming a full-time job spanning years. The upside is that those years gave me a new understanding of my family\, and now a documentary. The Manor aims to be an examination of human nature and addiction\,” he adds. “And as a film I believe it will open a lot of eyes and hearts by making the viewer see a little piece of themselves in all the dysfunction.” The Manor joins an impressive line of documentaries in which the family soul is laid bare\, whether by the filmmaker themselves (as in Sarah Polley’s acclaimed Stories We Tell)\, or from the outside (Capturing The Friedmans\, Gates of Heaven\, Crumb). For the filmmaker and the viewer it’s a path to understanding the complicated familial pull that can be at once a comfort and a trap. A talented animator and director of documentary shorts\, Cohen spent over two years capturing the kind of private moments only afforded to long-term process documentaries like The Manor. His access is extraordinary and draws you into a film deeply personal\, heartbreaking and thought provoking. Produced by Six Island Productions in association with TVO\, with the assistance of the Shaw Media-Hot Docs Fund and the Tribeca Film Institute. What The Critics Are Saying\: “rife with gritty stories and marvellously oddball characters” - Linda Barnard\, Toronto Star “[in] the ranks of some of the best family portrait documentaries.” - Peter Knegt\, indiewire “rich with character\, incident\, friction\, deadpan humour and voyeuristic thrills.” - James Adams\, The Globe and Mail “mixing humour and pathos\, [director Cohen has] found backhanded redemption by turning his strip-club hell into a compelling piece of filmmaking.” - Brian Johnson\, Maclean’s “in the vein of Capturing the Friedmans and Crazy Love” - Lauren Wissot\, Filmmaker Magazine “beyond the boobs and bombast\, this is a family drama caught on film.” - Jason Gorber\, Twitch “This is homegrown crazy.

Since the program began in 2008\, TTYL has educated more than 3500 young people and community stakeholders about mental health recovery\, anti-discrimination and other relevant ideas both in high schools and at other public forums. TTYL’s current cabaret-style show is called Minds Matter. This performance focuses on recovery-based messages of hope\, and the idea that mental health and illnesses occur on a continuum\, which are all “human” experiences. TTYL is thrilled to be performing Minds Matter to approximately 4000 students at the Toronto District School Board in the 2011-2012 school year! The show includes skits about\: • every-day stress • what it is like to experience depression • what it is like to experience psychosis and related myths • how to support a friend • the main causes of mental health issues • concerns about stigma and discrimination • a mini history lesson/fashion show that highlights the differences between past and current practices of the mental health system • and more!

Ceol Kids is a group of Toronto musicians that donate their time and talent each year to put on a concert of songs chosen based entirely on the charitable donations received. At http\://CeolKids.com songs are suggested and voted for via people's donations. The top 25 songs with the most donations when the voting closes will be the songs performed at the concert on Friday May 10 at the legendary El Mocambo Tavern. Over the years this 'crowd-sourced' approach to choosing songs has created some highly eclectic setlists. Songs by Neil Diamond\, Rage Against the Machine\, The Travelling Wilburys\, KISS\, blues queen Koko Taylor and Canadian prog-rock kings Rush have all been performed on the Ceol Kids' stage–sometimes one right after the other. Despite this variety of musical styles the show always comes together. Since it's inception in 2011 the Ceol Kids (ceòl\, the Gaelic word for music\, is pronounced 'kyool') concert has managed to raise over $8\,000.00 for the Regent Park School of Music. The Regent Park School of Music provides high quality\, affordable music education to youth-in-need in Regent Park and other high priority areas in the City of Toronto. Located in the heart of Regent Park in the new Daniels Spectrum\, RPSM staff\, faculty and volunteers work tirelessly to ensure the safety and growth of their students. Learn more at http\://www.rpmusic.org/. Ceol Kids is not affiliated with the Regent Park School of Music. Ceol Kids cannot issue receipts for tax purposes. All donations net of paypal charges\, and a portion of ticket sales will go directly to the RPSM. Please contact info@ceolkids.com for more information.

This month we are celebrating our 2 year anniversary. Come out & ring in 2 years of east end art\, music food & posi-vibes with us! This month features dinner by Basil AlZari. ABSOLUTELY FREE (http\://absolutelyfree.ca/) 4/5ths of DD/MM/YYYY reconvene here in what only seems like a logical continuation of ideas. Swapping spazz for kraut\, Abs Free dips into deep repetitions\, swirling subdued textures hover in the air. Prog constructs take a relaxing trip to space where they spread out. Flourishes of more confronting drum & guitar collaborations exist in pockets rising & falling into synth lines & beeping electronic patterns. FRESH SNOW (http\://freshsnowmusic.com/) Toronto kraut quartet adventures in the round. Undying synth lines and guitar fuzz merge into one vibrating beast driven by a drum beat locked into the warbling distortion. More space music for the 22nd century. Constantly moving forward building the humming\, buzzing\, clattering structure that is Fresh Snow. Rough guitar notes cut through pulsating fuzz to converse with formless electronics. Hard psych noodling becomes a back drop for groove repetition. Hints of jangle pop dig themselves out of a squealing wall of sound. Don't miss this space kraut unit about to alter life as know it. OSTRICH TUNING (http\://ostrichtuning.bandcamp.com/) Psych-gaze rockers layered in too much fuzz to ever get to space\, but just enough to coast over the earth's surface. To distorted to jangle\, but the intent is there. Thick bass notes rumble out of the mix like a foghorn. Fuzz guitar textures swirl around ethereal hums. Get lost in these sounds. BLACK WALLS (http\://blackwalls.bandcamp.com/) Ken Reaume's haunting psych-folk compositions float around you like smoke from a fire. Comforting warmth with the occasional biting spark. Technical flourishes grown out of rhythmic repetition. Gentle ominous chords and lulling hand slides over guitar strings\, nurture the growing organic compositions. Environs by Augustina Saygnavong All Ages! $7 Adv at Circus Books & Music\, The Film Buff\, Soundscapes and Grasshopper Records. $10 at the door FREE dinner with adv. ticket!

Thomas Cade\: https\://www.facebook.com/pages/Thomas-Cade/509933075707099?ref=br_tf @ 11\:20 \: Thomas Cade has been all over the world in various projects playing music before settling in on his new moniker Thomas Cade. Now back in Toronto with big goals on the horizon\, Thomas plays one of his first sets since CMW and you are in for a treat. Here is how they describe it\: "A pupil of philosophy and insomnia\, genre-defying sonic styles blend elements of cascading minimal-tech\, tribal polyrhythm + experimental dark electro." Let's Build Machines\: https\://www.facebook.com/pages/Lets-Build-Machines/182030011848791 @ 12\:15 Will Whitwham in recent years has been known for being the driving force behind the Wilderness of Manitoba. Before that you might remember him from Provincial Parks or even before that Howl. Lately Will has been working on Let's Build Machines. As Will puts it\, Let's Build Machines is like going for a run whereas the Wilderness of Manitoba is more of a walk. Recently joined by Pete Garthside of the Schomberg Fair and formerly Provincial Parks/Howl on the kit. This should be a great set.

Alongside his brothers Jaime and Mario\, Gilbert co-created and contributed to the acclaimed comic book series Love and Rockets\, which celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2012. Gilbert has won numerous awards for his stories\, including the Kirby Award\, Inkpot Award\, Harvey Award\, and the 2009 United States Artists Literature Fellowship. Gilbert Hernandez will be at TCAF in support of his highly-anticipated\, semiautobiographical new graphic novel\, Marble Season. Marble Season is Gilbert Hernandez’s his first book with D&Q and one of the most anticipated books of 2013. It tells the untold stories from the American comics legends’ youth\, but also portrays the reality of life in a large family in suburban 1960s California. Pop-culture references—TV shows\, comic books\, and music—saturate this evocative story of a young family navigating cultural and neighborhood norms set against the golden age of the American dream and the silver age of comics. Jaime Hernandez is the co-creator of the independent comic book Love and Rockets (along with his brothers Gilbert and Mario). Jaime’s main contribution to Love and Rockets is the ongoing serial narrative Locas which follows the tangled lives of a group of primarily Latina characters\, from their teenage years in the early days of the California punk scene to the present day. The two central characters of Jaime’s cast are Margarita Luisa “Maggie” Chascarrillo and Esperanza Leticia “Hopey” Glass\, whose on-again\, off-again\, open romance is a focus for many Locas storylines. In addition to his Locas stories\, Henandez has also done occasional work for DC Comics and The New Yorker\, and he has done many album covers for such artists as Michelle Shocked. -- Tom Spurgeon is a multiple award-winning writer about comics. He is currently producer of The Comics Reporter web site. His book\, co-written with Jordan Raphael\, Stan Lee And The Rise And Fall Of The American Comic Book\, has remained in print since 2003.

Artists Kevin Briones\, Oliver Castañeda\, Paul Limgenco and Vince Sunico have teamed up to create 12 newly drawn\, painted and digitally produced pieces using comic book characters as their subjects and Toronto as their backdrop. A portion of the proceeds from the art sale will be donated to support community art programs at KAPISANAN. In Superheroes Invade Toronto\, KAPISANAN aims to shine the spotlight on a new generation of Filipino-Canadian illustrators and continue the legacy of illustrative excellence. Briones\, Castaneda\, Limgenco and Sunico have been long time collaborators. For years\, as members of the artistic group Spent Pencils\, their contributions to Sick Kids Hospital through Sketches for Pledges have helped raise funds and awareness. These four Filipino-Canadian men have had their own individual successes in comics as either the creator\, contributor or both. Because of their illustrative styles\, work ethic and ambition there is no question that their levels of success and recognition will rise as their careers progress. Filipinos have historically been an integral part of the comic book industry for the past few decades. Rising stars like Leinil Francis Yu (Wolverine\, X-Men\, New Avengers)\, Harvey Tolibao (Green Arrow\, Silver Surfer) and Toronto’s very own Francis Manapul (Flash)\, to name a few\, are amongst a group of Filipino artists headlining today’s top titles. Legendary comic artists Whilce Protacio (Stone\, Wetworks\, Uncanny X-Men)\, Nestor Redondo (Swamp Thing\, Tarzan\, Rima the Jungle Girl) and the late Tony DeZuniga (Jonah Hex)\, whose groundbreaking works have paved the way for many artists of the younger generation\, continue to influence the art of comics today. Join KAPISANAN as we celebrate this new breed of Filipino-Canadian illustrators in the comic book industry! About KAPISANAN KAPISANAN is a non-profit organization that gives all Filipino-Canadian youth opportunities to cultivate a positive sense of cultural identity and leadership potential. Through community-based arts and cultural programming and presentation\, Kapisanan creates a space for Filipino-Canadian youth to explore Filipino culture and heritage\, fostering pride and self-confidence\, inspiring and empowering them to realize their full potential. Media contact\: Kat Estacio (416) 979-0600 | kat@kapisanancentre.com | www.kapisanancentre.com About the Artists Kevin Briones is a Canadian-born and raised artist\, writer and designer. Over the past decade and a half\, he has worked in a wide variety of professional capacities from graphic design to storytelling to motion graphics. His skills have taken him to various design companies across Canada as far as Whitehorse\, Yukon and back. At the these various places\, he has created characters and designed experiences in the marketing worlds of tourism\, economic development\, land development and sports entertainment to name a few. He is author and illustrator of “The Go-Man” series and currently works for Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment as a motion designer. Oliver Castaneda is a Graphic Designer and Illustrator working as a Freelancer for almost a decade when he came to Canada 2 years ago. His artistic work ranges from creating comic book illustrations and designs\, children’s book illustration\, packaging designs\, trading cards\, logo designs\, web graphics\, on-line games\, greeting cards and more. He’s a member of the artistic group Spent Pencils\, which you’ll see in every comic book related convention across Canada. Paul Limgenco has done work for comics\, books\, newspapers\, television and film. He attended OCAD for Drawing and Painting and the Sheridan Institute for Computer Animation where he gravitated back to traditional fine arts. For his painted works\, he primarily uses gouache\, and over time\, he has mixed more and more media into his methods because he believes that each medium has its strengths and weaknesses. He’s learned that it is important to push your work and not settle because\, as one of his teachers once said\, ” ‘Good enough’ isn’t good enough.” Vince Sunico is a graduate of Sheridan Animation Program and is a member of Spent Pencils Studio. His recent work includes exclusive variant covers of “Shrugged and Jirni” for Aspen Comics. He is currently working on “Remnant” which will be released later this year through IDW\, Cryptozoic Entertainment and Rittenhouse trading card set\, affiliated with Marvel and DC Comic characters.

To reserve seats please call 416-236-2641. Jeanine Mackie will be performing a night of classic R & B at The Old Mill Inn on Saturday May 11th. Joining Jeanine will be Peter Mueller (guitar)\, Matt Horner (keys)\, Byron Stoehr (bass)\, Colleen Allen ( sax)\, Arturo Avalos (percussion)\, Al Cross (drums) and Sherie Marshall and Stacie Tabb on backing vocals. The band will be performing two sets of down & dirty\, vintage R & B. Expect sizzling renditions of classic tunes made famous by the likes of Aretha Franklin\, Stevie Wonder\, Marvin Gaye\, Chaka Khan\, Dionne Warwick\, Otis Redding and more. Jeanine has released acclaimed albums in both jazz (with the Blue Martini project) and R & B genres. Her most recent recording\, 2012's Live at The Drake\, showcases her talent as a powerful and passionate interpreter of classic rhythm and blues. She is also a charismatic performer with a charming stage presence sure to seduce her audience. In this age of Auto-Tune and studio trickery\, it is refreshing to come across the real deal\, an authentic and strong voice complemented by real musicians. It is appropriate that it's a nine-piece lineup that will energize The Old Mill on May 11. You see\, when a dance floor was added to The Old Mill in 1929\, music was provided by a nine piece orchestra. The rich musical tradition of the venue is now in the very capable hands with The Jeanine Mackie Band.

The guys met while attending the Music Industry Arts program at Fanshawe College in London Ontario. Each had a knack for bringing out the best in each other’s music. They began to get the attention of fellow classmates and professors and soon began playing at local clubs in London. Fans have been very receptive to the band and are often taken back by MacDonald’s growly yet delicate emotive vocals. The group has received much praise for their emotional songwriting\, catchy melodies and the uniqueness and ferocity of Macdonald’s vocals. With youth on their side\, this group has a world of potential ahead of them. The group recently received a nomination for Favorite Singer/Songwriter at the London Music Awards in Scene Magazine after only a few months performing. The guys are putting the finishing touches on their debut EP and are planning to tour southern Ontario extensively this summer. Regarding their live performances MacDonald says\, “I am addicted to the rush of performing for people and\, with the addition of Colin Gray\, Phil Spina\, and Rob Crelin to the stage\, Texas King’s energy is like none other. We all agree that nothing in the world feels quite as good as a solid applause from an excited audience.” ROBOTEYES In the spring of 2011\, songwriter Kate LeDeuce and guitarist Ryan Ford began collaborating on an experimental music project that would plunge the country singer and rock'n'roller deep into the world of pop. They called themselves ROBOTEYES and their songs were passionate love letters to the new wave era. Armed with only a guitar and some thrift-store synthesizers\, the duo performed throughout Southern Ontario to enthusiastic crowds. Their lyrics were moving\, their melodies were strong\, and their hooks were infectious--but the pair was ultimately unsatisfied with their own sound. For several months\, ROBOTEYES continued to experiment with new musicians and performed with different lineups. The band was thrust into an exciting new direction when Marty Kerslake joined as bassist in the fall of that same year. Like the missing piece of a puzzle\, Marty provided an essential boost to the band's rhythmic sound and ROBOTEYES began opening shows for the likes of Hue\, Beekeeper\, and We Were Lovers. The band was further refined with the assistance of Matt Servo at his private recording studio Das Bootleg in Toronto. Acting as a producer\, Matt and the band worked for nearly a year on composing new songs\, new arrangements\, and new techniques that would establish ROBOTEYES as a synthpop powerhouse. The band took on a punchy new wave kick that can only be described as "the soundtrack to the greatest John Hughes film never made." Matt eventually joined ROBOTEYES as keyboardist and synth player. The band completed their debut EP in January 2013. The self-titled disc was produced & mastered entirely at Das Bootleg. ROBOTEYES has been heard on CBC Radio 1 and has electrified audiences with their addictive take on new wave synthpop. Their debut EP is available now on CD with remixes by Foxes in Fiction and Infrared Riding Hood or free to download at http\://music.robotey.es/ CRHYMES CRHYMES is two-faced. CRHYMES “balances its overflowing heart with an eager\, unpretentiously BIG indie rock sound.” Originating out of Sebastian Shinwell’s (vocalist and songwriter) master’s thesis in composition\, CRHYMES is taking off. After releasing the first EP “Our Surprises” this August\, CRHYMES has gained the recognition and approval of music bloggers and Toronto music-appreciators alike. In only the few months that CRHYMES has taken the stage\, it has been named “Bandcamp Artist of the Week” by music blog SYFFAL\, featured as artist of the month by The Indie Machine\, and blogged by Alan Cross. With past and present members from such bands as Doldrums\, Snow Blink\, The Soul Motivators\, The Neighbourhood Watch\, and The Cautioneers\, CRHYMES is currently hailing as a five-piece rock band. With a raging saxophone and haunting vocals\, CRHYMES delivers high-energy shows that fills the stage with sound and gets people moving. “In a very Simon and Garfunkel meets Nirvana unplugged sort of way. CRHYMES make music that aches\, broods\, haunts and ultimately soothes your anguished soul.” Doors @ 9PM\, show @ 10PM! $7 cover CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP;TZID=US-Eastern:20130521T111243 LAST-MODIFIED;TZID=US-Eastern:20130521T111243 CREATED;TZID=US-Eastern:20130521T111243 DTSTART;TZID=US-Eastern:20130511T210000 DTEND;TZID=US-Eastern:20130512T020000 UID:20130521T111243-75540@blogto.com SUMMARY:Paris Black Band LIVE at Maple Leaf House Grill & Lounge LOCATION:Maple Leaf House Grill & Lounge URL:http://www.blogto.com/events/75540 DESCRIPTION:Paris Black http\://www.reverbnation.com/parisblackband Come to see Paris Black and his all star band LIVE at Maple Leaf House on May 11\, 2013! 9pm-2am http\://www.mapleleafhouse.ca/ 416.255.2558 Tickets\: free 19+ Full Details\: http\://www.reverbnation.com/show/10483868 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP;TZID=US-Eastern:20130521T111243 LAST-MODIFIED;TZID=US-Eastern:20130521T111243 CREATED;TZID=US-Eastern:20130521T111243 DTSTART;TZID=US-Eastern:20130511T210000 DTEND;TZID=US-Eastern:-00011130T000000 UID:20130521T111243-75541@blogto.com SUMMARY:SCOTT THOMPSON LIVE AT THE FLYING BEAVER PUBARET!

LOCATION:Carlton Cinema URL:http://www.blogto.com/events/75542 DESCRIPTION:The Canadian theatrical launch kicks off in Toronto\, May 10 to 16\, with two shows each day - 1\:50pm and 7\:15pm! The Story\: When an out-of-work Canadian actor accidentally discovers through Facebook that he’s been wildly famous in Serbia for almost two decades\, he sets out to discover the reasons why. SLAUGHTER NICK FOR PRESIDENT examines how Rob Stewart inexplicably became a symbol of freedom through the long-forgotten TV role of Nick Slaughter in Tropical Heat (aka Sweating Bullets) during the non-violent Serbian protests which led to the overthrow of Slobodan Milosevic. Stewart’s Serbian visit\, dubbed “Slaughtermania” by the national press\, uncovers the surprising meaning behind the show’s popularity\, the blurred distinction between an actor and his character\, and tells the inspiring story of the Serbian protesters. A film by Rob Stewart\, Liza Vespi & Marc Vespi Canada/Serbia 2012 72 min - HD www.slaughternickmovie.com CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP;TZID=US-Eastern:20130521T111243 LAST-MODIFIED;TZID=US-Eastern:20130521T111243 CREATED;TZID=US-Eastern:20130521T111243 DTSTART;TZID=US-Eastern:20130511T210000 DTEND;TZID=US-Eastern:20130512T023000 UID:20130521T111243-75595@blogto.com SUMMARY:MATT COOKE AND FRIENDS AT THE CENTRAL MAY 11th LOCATION:The Central URL:http://www.blogto.com/events/75595 DESCRIPTION:Join us for some good music and excessive drinking at The Central on Saturday\, May 11th.

Airick Woodhead\, deeply entrenched in the Montreal and Toronto DIY scenes\, has been a longtime friend and collaborator of Arbutus — who will present the LP on Feb 26th. Woodhead is “immune to technology”\; the singer\, producer\, multi instrumentalist certainly uses technology hard enough that it breaks down completely\; the cover art for Lesser Evil is simply a photograph of his broken Laptop screen. The album features warped short-looped samples\, which congeal with drum parts and Woodhead’s distinct falsetto\, creating a live energy that is experiential\, raw and solitary. The live show takes these songs and sets them with percussion – often with two or more live drummers on stage. The songs on Lesser Evil shift with the energy of experience\, a notion that plays strongly on Doldrums entire aesthetic – exploring the disorienting\, exotic and truly compelling experimental realm of Airick Woodhead.

His multidisciplinary practice includes photography\, video\, mixed media\, and installation. Interested in ideas surrounding the deconstruction of representation and originality\, his work often deals with themes of context and appropriation. His work has been displayed in various venues in Toronto as well as internationally in London\, England. www.jacksonklie.tumblr.com ---------------------- MICHELLE O’BYRNE Michelle O’Byrne is a photo-based artist living and working in Vancouver. She holds a BFA in Photography Studies from Ryerson University and is studying for her Masters at Emily Carr University of Art & Design. Her work has been exhibited internationally at various venues including the Gallery TPW\, AWOL Gallery\, Underground Gallery and Galerie Pierre-Léon.

Barnicke Gallery (7 Hart House Circle) URL:http://www.blogto.com/events/75635 DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the exhibition I Thought There Were Limits\, on view at the Justina M. Barnicke Gallery\, curator Julia Abraham will guest-facilitate this salon. Site-specific art is defined as work that is constituted by a direct response to a place. I Thought There Were Limits presents a category of site-specific gestures that derive unique material implications once they are affixed to a site. The exhibition tests the limits of site-specific practices as both responsive to a particular place while also adaptable to any site. This salon will feature “An Introduction to the General Theory of Place” the mission statement of the Foksal Gallery in Warsaw\, published in 1966 by Wieslaw Borowski\, Hanna Ptaszkowska\, Mariusz Tchorek (in conjunction with many artists)\, as a way to examine the curatorial proposition regarding the flexible production of space against a theoretical discussion of place as examined in the text. I Thought There Were Limits brings together five Toronto-based artists whose work engages with both the material and conceptual dimensions of space. Like a perpetually falling apple and the expanding ground beneath it\, the artworks form a responsive relationship to their site and in so doing reveal specific architectural\, temporal and virtual properties of the Justina M. Barnicke Gallery. This selection of artworks is representative of the variations of site-specific practices within Toronto contemporary art. The project demonstrates a local history of spatial practices that challenge the terms and expected ways that a work might be reactive to a place. This meeting of No Reading After the Internet (Toronto) is supported by the Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto (as always). Special thanks to the Justina M. Barnicke Gallery for hosting this salon.

This month we are celebrating our 2 year anniversary. Come out & ring in 2 years of east end art\, music food & posi-vibes with us! This month features dinner by Basil AlZeri. ABSOLUTELY FREE (http\://absolutelyfree.ca/) 4/5ths of DD/MM/YYYY reconvene here in what only seems like a logical continuation of ideas. Swapping spazz for kraut\, Abs Free dips into deep repetitions\, swirling subdued textures hover in the air. Prog constructs take a relaxing trip to space where they spread out. Flourishes of more confronting drum & guitar collaborations exist in pockets rising & falling into synth lines & beeping electronic patterns. FRESH SNOW (http\://freshsnowmusic.com/) Toronto kraut quartet adventures in the round. Undying synth lines and guitar fuzz merge into one vibrating beast driven by a drum beat locked into the warbling distortion. More space music for the 22nd century. Constantly moving forward building the humming\, buzzing\, clattering structure that is Fresh Snow. Rough guitar notes cut through pulsating fuzz to converse with formless electronics. Hard psych noodling becomes a back drop for groove repetition. Hints of jangle pop dig themselves out of a squealing wall of sound. Don't miss this space kraut unit about to alter life as know it. OSTRICH TUNING (http\://ostrichtuning.bandcamp.com/) Psych-gaze rockers layered in too much fuzz to ever get to space\, but just enough to coast over the earth's surface. To distorted to jangle\, but the intent is there. Thick bass notes rumble out of the mix like a foghorn. Fuzz guitar textures swirl around ethereal hums. Get lost in these sounds. BLACK WALLS (http\://blackwalls.bandcamp.com) Ken Reaume's haunting psych-folk compositions float around you like smoke from a fire. Comforting warmth with the occasional biting spark. Technical flourishes grown out of rhythmic repetition. Gentle ominous chords and lulling hand slides over guitar strings\, nurture the growing organic compositions.

Weekend Wedding Edition! ♥♥♥ LOCATION:Dovercourt House URL:http://www.blogto.com/events/75370 DESCRIPTION:You are cordially invited to ♥♥♥ Toronto QUEER SLOWDANCE! Weekend Wedding Edition! ♥♥♥ With a lending library of designated dancers for all you wallflowers\, and a dancecard-booklet to set up dances in advance (should you choose to)\, Queer Slowdance Night has all slow songs\, all night long! (Except for the occasional intermission when we play the fastest songs we can find!) It's high school with a happy ending. Come and experience why slow is beautiful\, and why love is not ironic. _________________________________________ _________________________________________ For this special WEEKEND WEDDING Edition of Queer Slowdance we will be group-marrying couples at midnight! Your host & emcee will be asking for silence\, and then anyone who is ready to get married should repeat after him. Wedding rings will be available for purchase for $5 at the door\, and all couples will be wedded for the weekend until Monday morning at 9 AM\, at which point all marriages will expire. PLEASE NOTE that the host/emcee is NOT LEGALLY authorized to marry anyone. The marriages that take place during Slowdance are for entertainment & heartwarming purposes only. All marriages will expire at 9 AM Monday\, May 13th\, 2013. The ONLY way to prevent that is to ACTUALLY get married\, like\, in your real life. ALSO NOTE that you should dress real nice\, as if you were going to an actual wedding. But all that is optional\, as is the wedding portion of the evening. Also feel free to bring your own rings. The $5 rings are made available as a courtesy. _________________________________________ _________________________________________ We also have opened up the basement CHILLOUT LOUNGE which has a coatcheck\, a dancefloor\, and a SECOND BAR which we hope you all will avail yourselves of. Additionally\, the main dancefloor and music will be SIMULCAST downstairs! PS. Fabulous and inspired attire\, while desired\, is not required. But would be AWESOME & HAWT. Finally\, you do not have to be queer to attend this party\, but you must have an open mind\, an open heart\, and have open arms. We are always looking for designated dancers for our evenings. If you are outgoing\, warm\, and willing to undertake the very serious duty and responsibility of inviting wallflowers out onto the dancefloor - if in fact\, such a prospect gives you great joy - then please contact the organizers at inconsolablecat@hotmail.com. To be alerted to ♥♥♥ FUTURE EVENTS ♥♥♥ in your area\, please FRIEND the organizer\, Sherwin Sullivan Tjia\, and join our facebook group\, CHAT PERDU PRODUCTIONS\: http\://www.facebook.com/pages/Chat-Perdu-Productions/223457214331777 Finally\, we are trying to do this event monthly! Future Queer Slowdances fall on these dates\: May 11\, 2013 --- Wedding theme June\, 2013 --- (Sorry\, no Slowdance in June) July 6\, 2013 --- Beach Blanket theme ★★★ Dovercourt house 805 Dovercourt Rd. (1 block North of Bloor\, 3 blks. west of Ossington) Saturday\, May 11\, 2013 Doors at 9\:30\, Dance from 10 PM - 3 AM. $10 admission includes your Dancecard-booklet! Regretfully\, the Dovercourt House is not wheelchair-accessible. 19+ ★★★ "Relive the prom without the angst." - the Canadian Press "In an age where physical contact is a scarce commodity\, an event that brings strangers safely together is long overdue." - The Montreal Gazette "I really like hugging people\, and this is like\, a five-minute hug." - Telyn Kusalik\, one of our guests ★★★ A NOTE ABOUT THE DANCE CARDS\: The dancecards are these little booklets that contain a setlist of every song that will be played that evening. The idea is that during the course of the evening\, you can "book" certain songs with certain people\, and vice versa. So when your charming hosts announce a particular song\, you can look on your dancecard and see who it is you're going to dance with next. There is a little space after every song where people can write their names. How filled your dancecard gets depends on you\, of course. Ask someone to dance! Or give someone meaningful looks! Look for the Dancecard-Signing Station located somewhere on the premises\, usually near a light\, where small pencils are available. The dancecards also - thoughtfully - have lots of empty places where you can write down the names and numbers of charming people whom you may have danced with that night. Use of the dancecards\, is\, of course\, optional\, and completely up to you. Proceed at your comfort level. A NOTE ABOUT THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT\: The Rules essentially state that as someone coming to Slow Dance Night\, you have the right to ask anyone you want to dance. But whoever it is you asked has the right to refuse your request\, and not have to give any reason why. But wonderfully\, you have this right as well. This is done because slowdancing with someone is rather an intimate sort of enterprise\, and a minor commitment\, and you should have the right to back out anytime you wish. Slow Dance Night is about consensual respect and enjoyment. Just because you may have danced with someone for most of the song\, if at any point you are feeling unsafe or uncomfortable\, you can simply walk away. If whoever it is persists in their attention\, locate one of the organizers\, and they will be ejected from the premises. And fucked-up. Anyone who refuses to comply by the rules will be fucked-up. Kidding! Kinda. A NOTE ABOUT THE DESIGNATED DANCERS\: On any particular night there will be a handful of our Designated Dancers available to dance with you for the first half of the evening - so arrive early! They will be wearing green glowing bracelets\, and these Designated Dancers are warm\, charming\, and safe people to ask to dance. Of course\, the same Rules of Engagement apply\, and they\, as free agents\, can decide for themselves who they want to dance with\, and for how long\, but in all likelihood\, they would be very open to dancing with you. Please think of them as a warm taxi light in the middle of a blizzard\; the cast of a lighthouse\, when you are too far from shore and shrouded in fog\; a glimmer of hope after a lifetime of desolation. Well\, actually\, that might be pushing it. Please think of them as a temporary safe harbour. They will also be looking for you\, and asking you to dance\, trying in their way to turn wallflowers into perennials. A NOTE ABOUT ACCESSIBILITY\: We have received a number of emails and wall-posts about accessibility - or rather\, the lack of it - at our current venue\, the Dovercourt House. We understand\, and it is an ongoing concern. We are not opposed to moving venues to an accessible one\, but various places\, for various reasons\, didn’t work out. When we finally came upon the Dovercourt House\, which superficially resembles a school gym\, has a working mirrorball\, a sound system\, lovely lighting\, and a bar - it was perfect. We have\, however\, been following up on your suggestions for accessible venues\, but there have been difficulties. Every venue is very particular\, and finding a good match is hard. Additionally\, we are based in Montreal. We come into Toronto every time to put the event on\, and that doesn’t leave much time to tour various venues\, or to make face-to-face contact with the venue bookers. If you have a personal contact at the Revival\, or the Garrison\, we would appreciate an introduction. Thus far\, they have not responded to our (in some cases\, repeated) inquiries. We do\, however\, do the occasional Slowdance at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre\, and that venue is accessible. For those who are interested in the particular challenges that the Dovercourt House presents - there are 12 steps going up the front to the "main" floor\, with a handrail\, and then another step at the doors. The bathrooms have stalls\, but they are very small. The stall doors open inward and indeed\, one must almost hover over the toilet itself in order to leave enough clearance for the stall door to close. A NOTE ABOUT COMMON SCENTS\: Because at this event folks will be in very close proximity to each other\, pretty much hugging\, we would like attendees to be mindful of what they smell like. Now\, we don't want to stipulate that attendees must not wear scents\, or use scented soaps or shampoos\, or not smoke. One of the best thing about Queer Slowdance is that you can choose who you would like to dance with\, and we are loathe to take choices away from attendees - but if you have a habit of spraying a cologne or perfume on before leaving the house\, we would ask that you consider NOT doing so. Smell the way you smell. This does not mean not bathing. We heartily encourage bathing and wearing freshly laundered clothes. But the fact is\, in this culture\, we often try to cover up "bad" smells by pouring on the "good" ones. We would ask that you take as much consideration regarding what you SMELL like as what you LOOK like before you leave the house. (PS. We recognize that our providing breath mints and gum is totally hypocritical here). And actually\, for some chemically injured/scent-sensitive folks\, this is an issue of accessibility\, so we ask you to be considerate. Thank you! A NOTE ABOUT HOMOPHOBIC ARTISTS\: It was recently brought to our attention that certain artists\, like Bon Jovi\, Guns ‘n Roses\, Sting\, Eminem\, Ween\, Public Enemy\, The Pogues\, The Kinks\, Sex Pistols\, Frank Zappa\, Korn\, Violent Femmes\, or Chris Brown\, are alleged to have made homophobic slurs or statements in the past\, and/or have homophobic lyrics in their songs. In certain cases it’s hard to be sure if the homophobia was deliberate\, like in The Kink’s “Lola” which leaves things kinda mysterious. In other cases\, like The Spice Girls’ “2 Become 1”\, heteronormativity is espoused\, like in their lyric “Any deal that we endeavour/boys and girls go good together”. Though\, to their credit\, in recent years\, a new version of that song has emerged\, which has changed the lyrics to\: “Once again when we endeavour\, love will bring us back together” which is more inclusive. This puts us in a bit of a quandry\, as you can imagine\, because it’s hard to keep track of every homophobic artist and every homophobic song\, and even more difficult to parse out the meaning behind every lyric. Additionally\, this brings into question whether we necessarily need to attach the views of an individual artist or band to a particular song. What if the artist is homophobic\, but the band is not\, and the song has nothing to do with queerness? Should we enjoy the song? Here\, at Queer Slowdance\, after much agonizing\, we’ve decided to take on the possibly controversial policy of “Fuck It – it’s a great song.” We are going to play whatever song we like because it’s a wonderful song and succeeds in bringing people closer together. We know that some of you might disagree with this\, and we look forward to your angry emails\, but we are also big believers in Ani DiFranco’s truism\: “Every tool is a weapon if you hold it right.” And we believe that any song can be beautiful if you’re holding the right person in your arms. A NOTE ABOUT SAFETY\: Sometimes it happens that there is someone in the crowd who will make you feel unsafe or uncomfortable when dancing. This does not have to be an obvious thing\, like leading with their groin\, or grabbing your bum. It could just be a weird feeling. You are more than within your rights to stop the dance right there\, and not have to explain. Overwhelmingly\, our guests are courteous and polite and will comport themselves like gentlefolk\, but every event that is open to the public may occasionally encounter someone who is\, let's be honest\, kinda creepy. While we encourage testing limits\, when it infringes on someone's boundaries\, that is when we draw the line. If something like this happens\, do please let the organizer know. The organizer is the man in the stunning dress at the DJ Laptop. He is both your mom & dad tonight and a safe person to come to if something happens\, and we will try to resolve it with everyone's safety in mind.

Whether a skeptic of magic or a hard-core believer\, this show will certainly have you questioning whether it’s possible to have true mind-reading ability. With a background in physics and quantum optics\, Pitman’s highly interactive show exhibits his smart\, confident and genuine performance style. Putting his money where his mouth is\, the show includes a game where $500 of his own money is put on the line\: a 50/50 chance is given to a randomly selected audience member to win that sum. The game revolves around the techniques that he has honed over the years.

Our neighbour city Detroit is the world epicenter of funk\, motown\, soul\, hiphop\, house\, techno and electro and we're lucky to live just a car ride away - their music has changed dance music all over the world. Each year\, inspired by the Movement Festival\, we bring funky techno and ghetto fabulous music from Detroit to Toronto for you in a proper night of pure raw fun. This year's party is an official pre-party for the Movement Festival\, and we're holding it with a massive soundsystem in our best venue yet. A stunning cathedral event space at Queen and Bay! The space is right in the heart of our downtown. Soaring high ceilings\, resonant hardwood floors\, intricate stained glass windows and fantastic acoustics. We're always looking to bring you to some of our city's best\, most interesting and vanishing old architectural gems to enjoy\, and this is an experience to immerse yourself in fully. The music for the night will be a journey blending the techno funk and booty fabulousness of Unabomber and Mike Conradi\, to the fat chunky house beats of Detroit's Big Joe Hix\, into the next-level musical genius of Toronto's own Egyptrixx – the Sonar Festival and Osheaga Festival veteran\, and through into proper thumping techno of Twonz from Detroit. May 26\, 27 and 28th Detroit Movement Festival Each year we have made our way to the Movement Festival and indulged in Detroit's and the world's best electronic musicians. From the eternal old school Detroit djs\, to the cutting edge of the future\, it's a 5 stage music buffet running from noon until midnight over 3 days and we've heard so many of our favourite djs play there. Being in Detroit and soaking up the feel and sounds of this city is worth its weight in gold. We've made friends there to last a lifetime.

His “no fear” approach to comedy has gained a loyal following. Pure raging energy\, he is electric\, aggressive and in-your-face. Nothing is sacred as he fires off on urban life\, Middle Eastern politics\, Islamic extremists\, working in strip clubs\, club culture\, drugs and masturbation. Winner of Just For Laugh’s 2011 Homegrown Comic Award\, was a nominee for the 2012 Canadian Comedy Award for Best Stand-up\, won NOW Magazine’s 2011 Best of Toronto Award for Best Male Stand-up\, and is current host of MTV\: Live.

Twitter\: www.twitter.com/ThisChristophe Website\: www.Christophedavidson.com/ Sketch by Tony Ho Tony Ho believes being unsettled isn’t a bad thing.

Their videos have been showcased on VICE\, Said the Gramophone and MuchMusic\, among others. Watch their truly amazing videos\: Western Valentines Friend Diner Twitter\: www.twitter.com/tonyhocomedy Website\: www.TonyHo.ca Dom Pare Dom Pare is described as “one of the best new stand-ups around” by NOW Magazine.

Recently\, Dom reached the Semi-Finals of the San Francisco International Comedy Competition\, and the Finals for the Brantford Comedy Festival. Dom has also branched out into the comedy world and has written for The Debaters and is featured regularly on SiriusXM Radio.

 Kwentong Bayan\: Labour of Love 
A comic book about the lives of Filipina migrant workers 
Date\:    Sunday May 12\, 2013 Time\:    1\:00 – 3\:00 PM Place\:    Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) 317 Dundas Street West\, Seminar Room 1 Access\:    The AGO is wheelchair accessible Childcare\:    Provided by the Hands-On Centre Cost\:    Free event 
Toronto-based artists\, Althea Balmes and Jo SiMalaya Alcampo are creating a community comic book in collaboration with Filipina migrant workers in the Live-in Caregiver Program called\, “Kwentong Bayan\: Labour of Love”. In the Filipino language\, “kwentong bayan” is the literal translation of “community stories”. The artists will present work-in-progress and caregivers will share real-life stories. 
The Live-in Caregiver Program continues to be heavily contested and at the centre of many controversies. Many Canadians rely on this program to access affordable care for vulnerable members of their families. Many Filipinas leave their own families and work abroad to cope with the unstable economy in the Philippines. This event acknowledges the work of caregivers in supporting Canadian families and the global economy. 
Please join us at this Mother’s Day event\, as we celebrate migrant labour and community-based art that is rooted in love. 
Presented by the Mayworks Festival of Working People and the Arts in partnership with the Art Gallery of Ontario. Co-sponsored by the Department of Equity Studies – York University\, Neighbourhood Arts Network\, and Worker’s Action Centre. Reception at The East Gallery.

The mistress of ceremonies\, Lizzie Violet will introduce cabaret stylings such as poetry\, Spoken Word\, music\, Burlesque\, comedy and a variety of other vaudeville style acts. Inspired by Vaudeville of the early 1900’s\, it will be an evening of pure entertainment. Each monthly event will have three features that consist of one part poetry (spoken word and slam as well)\, one part music and one part vaudeville (burlesque/magic/comedy). A night of frivolity and entertainment for all. Lizzie Violet’s Cabaret Noir will be the second Sunday of every month at the intimate Q Space on College (382 College Street) from 7 pm to 10 pm. Keeping with the theme of cabaret’s roots\, music will be unplugged\, poetry will be edgy and the vaudeville will be sassy! We will have limited open mic spots (for poets\, performers and musicians). Sign up starts at 7. This is a PWYC event. (suggested price $5) Location\: Q Space on College (382 College Street) This months cabaret performers!

Her first chapbook “Divine Cockeyed Genius” was released in October 2012. “Raw power wrapped in polished performance\; Vanessa caresses your heart and knocks you in the guts. Makes you feel and makes you feel like feeling. Confrontational\, comforting – a consummate poet and performer” Some time this fall (they can't recall the exact date) Kirsten Nelson\, Taavi Burns\, and Pelayo Matute will have been singing together as Kirsten Sandwich for ten years. This a capella trio presents a broad range of material\, from early Renaissance music to contemporary songs with lots of irreverent satire thrown in for good measure\, using nothing but three voices and three microphones.
