SUMMARY:Untitled (Applying Joint Compound)
DESCRIPTION:The Mayworks Halifax Festival presents \nVideo installation / performance by Michael Di Risio\nFREE admission \nUntitled (Applying Joint Compound) (2016) is a video-installation and performance that attempts to make visible the labour involved in maintaining public spaces. Though often unseen and undervalued\, maintenance work is a fundamental component of the production of social space\, in turn supporting other forms of collective work and cultural production. Through a reflection on the nuances of this work\, the viewer is invited to consider what is involved in the production of the spaces that they typically inhabit. \nNOTE: While the performance will take place on May 2nd at 7pm\, the video installation will remain in the Bus Stop Theatre lobby from May 2nd to May 4th. \nMichael Di Risio\nAn artist and writer currently based in Kingston\, ON. His writing has appeared in Art Papers\, Afterimage\, Fuse Magazine\, C Magazine and PUBLIC Journal\, among others\, where he reflects on art as a social force. He has participated in recent exhibitions at the Workers Arts and Heritage Centre\, Artcite and Museum London\, with forthcoming exhibitions at the Thames Art Gallery and the Agnes Etherington Art Centre. He holds an MFA from the University of Windsor and is currently the Artistic Director of Modern Fuel Artist-Run Centre. \n  \nPresented in partnership with the Bus Stop Theatre Co-op

SUMMARY:The View From Her(e)
DESCRIPTION:The Mayworks Halifax Festival presents \nA New Dance Piece by Liliona Quarmyne\nChoreographed by Liliona Quarmyne\n Featuring Liliona Quarmyne\, Jacinte Armstrong & Sarah Rozee \nIs it possible to maintain the abstraction of contemporary art and still share a clear message? Or does one have to be compromised for the other? Choreographer Liliona Quarmyne is deeply curious about pushing the boundaries between art and activism\, and about the give and take between the two. In The View from Her(e)\, the audience will join her and dancers Jacinte Armstrong and Sarah Rozee to explore how art and activism can talk to each other. \n2 Part Presentation\nPhase 1 (participatory presentations) – May 2 & 3\nPhase 2 (final performances) – May 9 & 10 \nThis interactive\, multi-disciplinary dance piece takes place in two phases\, and audience members are invited to attend one or both. \nPhase 1 performances are multi-disciplinary and interactive\, and audience members are invited to directly become a part of the creative process. \nPhase 2 performances are the end result of the process where the dancers share reworked material based on the discoveries of Phase 1. \nADMISSION PRICES\nPhase 1 = $10\nPhase 2 = $15\nBoth = $20 \nFestival Pass (all Mayworks shows) = $50 \nBuy Tickets Online\n \nPresented in partnership with the Nova Scotia Nurses’ Union

SUMMARY:I was There
DESCRIPTION:The Mayworks Halifax Festival presents \nAn Audiovisual installation by Katie Toth and Mary-Dan Johnston\nFREE admission\n\nIt goes like this: the bank closes\, along with the grocery\, then the laundromat\, the club\, the pub\, the corner store where we bought popsicles and cartons of milk. The schools crumbled and were consolidated. Now\, standing on the same spot where I bought my first vodka cran\, underage\, there is thick gravel where years ago I felt linoleum\, softer\, sticking to the sole of my shoe.\nThe geography remains the same\, but the landscape changes\nI was there is an attempt to illuminate the psychogeography of a city that is often accused of being stuck in the past. This mixed-media installation combines photography\, oral history testimony and cartography to shed a light on what is lost in the process of gentrification.\n  \nLocation and Hours\nThis piece is presented in the lobby of The Bus Stop Theatre Co-op and can be experienced ahead or after any event presented at this location. I can also be experience between 10am and 4pm daily from May 8th to 10th. \nBiographies\nKatie Toth is an emerging audio artist and digital/audio journalist who has been published in VICE\, the Village Voice\, and NPR. Her first art piece\, which celebrated New York City’s public transit system\, was produced in collaboration with photographer Lara Atallah\, and displayed at The New York City Transit Museum’s community artist event Platform. \nMary-Dan Johnston is a writer\, researcher\, educator working at the intersections of the public and the private. Trained as an oral historian and qualitative researcher\, she is particularly interested in how the political economy of the Maritimes has shaped the embodied experiences of working people. Her writing has recently appeared in GUTS Canadian Feminist Magazine. Her art practice uses street photography to capture moments of tension and collaboration between individuals and the built environment. \n  \nPresented in partnership with the Bus Stop Theatre Cooperative and the StART Festival. \n \n

SUMMARY:Mug
DESCRIPTION:The Mayworks Halifax Festival presents \nA New Play by In My Own Voice (iMOVe) Arts Association\nMay 6th  7pm \nMay 7th 2pm \nMay 7th 7pm \n\nMug revolves around the Mug Shots of three formerly incarcerated people – photographs that span collectively almost 50 years of being in conflict with oneself and the Justice System. When a photograph is captured we often refer to it as ‘taking’ the photograph. This process of taking is encapsulated by the taking of the mug shot. However\, when a person is convicted of committing an offence\, the process of taking involves much more. When a person is incarcerated\, the liberty of free movement is taken. The person’s clothes are taken. The ability to make many of their own decisions is taken. Through Mug\, four persons relive their past by offering their stories and invite us all to take the challenge of giving. \n Featuring performances by JRDN\n \n\nCast & Crew:\nCast: Craig Kelly\, Lance Perry\, Darren Tynes and JRDN\n\nDirected by Sobaz Benjamin\nWith assistance from: Liam Petite\, Jacob Sampson\, Michael Tennyson and Jordan Metro\n\nBiographies\n\nSobaz Benjamin\, Founder and Executive Director of In My Own Voice (iMOVe) Arts Association\, is an accomplished and recognized film-director\, as well as a community advocate\, youth mentor\, program facilitator and educator.

Sobaz has also received a Humans Rights Award for his work with youth and directing awards from the National Film Board of Canada and the Canadian Academy of Cinema and Television. \nJordan Croucher (aka JRDN) is a Canadian R&B/Hip Hop recording artist raised in Halifax and Toronto. After playing on the St-FX basketball team and a year of professional basketball in France\, he began a career in music which has lead him to national and international recognition. \nCraig Kelly is currently remanded at the Central Nova Scotia Correctional Facility in Burnside. He is a 23 year old Caucasian male and has been in conflict with the justice system since he was thirteen – the age when his first mug shot was taken. Craig is awaiting sentencing. \nLance Perry is a 33 year old African Nova Scotian. He was born and raised in Uniacke Square and has been in conflict with the justice system since he was thirteen. He is currently under house arrest awaiting trial. He is the father of three children: a 12 month old boy and two daughters aged 6 and 10.

SUMMARY:KAMP – Workshop Production
DESCRIPTION:KAMP – Workshop Production\nBradley & Williams in association with DaPoPo Theatre   \n& \n \n  \nDate: \nSPECIAL ADDITION (in partnership with the MAYWORKS Festival) \nApril 29-30 – 7.30pm Halifax Music Co-op\, 2164 Barrington St\nHalifax\, Nova Scotia Canada \nSession 1 (STAGES Fest): May 16\, 2017 – 2pm    VENUE: The Living Room \nSession 2 (STAGES Fest): May 27\, 2017 – 11am  VENUE: The Bus Stop Theatre \n(Note: one ticket gives access to ALL THREE sessions\, but you do not HAVE to attend all sessions to enjoy the experience.) \n  \nBox Office\nwww.tickethalifax.com \nTicket Prices: $25 (Three sessions included) \nCLICK HERE FOR SONGSPIEL TICKETS\n\nPLUS: An orchestral preview of a new Musical by Jamie Bradley and Garry Williams\nThe Nazis hated them because they were gay… but that’s what saved them\nKAMP Songspiel: An Orchestral Preview will highlight some of the original songs of this new musical and introduce the audience to the characters and their lives in the “Pink Barrack” as they plan and rehearse their own cabaret. \nThe Songspiel will feature a number of queer performers from the Halifax theatre community. The KAMP Cabaret Band will include musicians from the Halifax Music Co-Op\, under the Musical Direction of John Bogardus. \nA ticket to KAMP Songspiel gives you admission to two separate stage readings of the play presented during the STAGES Theatre Festival on May 16th and 27th! \nSo that’s THREE performances for one ticket. \n\nDescription:\nThe Nazis hated them because they were gay… but that’s what saved them. \nKAMP is a two-act musical that tells the story of a group of homosexual men\, interred in a Nazi concentration camp\, who use their artistic talents to secretly produce their own musical revue; a project that would give them hope to survive\, hold on to their identities\, and maintain their humanity. KAMP is based on historical truth. \nThis reading is presented in a unique way. \n  \nHow the ‘multiple readings’ thing works:\nAfter you have enjoyed\, experienced and lived the music at the songspiel… \nThe play receives a first reading in week one of the STAGES Theatre Festival\, then a second reading in week two after work has been done. \n‘KAMP’ (by Jamie Bradley & Garry Williams ) will be the second play script to receive this treatment. We initiated this process in 2016 and it proved successful and very useful to the writer. \nSession 1 will feature a staged-reading of this new work in-development followed by a moderated feedback session with the audience.  Over the course of ten days\, the playwrights will rework the piece (heeding OR ignoring the audience’s comments!) for a reading to take place the following week.\n \n \n\n
