SUMMARY:The Work We Do: An Animation Retrospective
DESCRIPTION:Live screening at The Bus Stop Theatre (2203 Gottingen St) \nONLINE TICKETS are on sale as of April 28th. Buy tickets \nMasking is required to attend this event in person \nPresented in partnership with the Animation Festival of Halifax (AFX) \nCraft. Labour. Practice. Drudgery. Vocation. We work every day\, sometimes with joy and a sense of fulfillment\, sometimes with loathing and a sense of alienation. We labour for pay\, for free\, or for barter; we exert ourselves for overlords\, for ourselves\, or for our communities. These animated films from across the country and across the decades reflect on the ups and downs of our experiences as beings who toil and strive. And what medium could be more fitting than the labour-intensive delight of animation?

Despite what route we are told we should follow\, we use shortcuts to find our own way. \nIn this piece\, audience members’ favourite shortcuts are collected\, processed\, illustrated\, published\, and distributed by a trio of workers who open up the inside of their factory to us so we can see every detail of this long process to take a short cut. \nShortcuts\, loopholes and life hacks. We want ‘em! \nSubmit your own tips on how to get ahead on May 6th between 3:00 PM and 7:00PM\, either in person or by calling 902-404-0616 \n \nTHE TEAM\nDan Bray – The Courier\nColleen MacIsaac – The Technician / Creator\nMahya Tench – The Operator \nDan Bray – The Courier \nDan Bray (he/him) is an interdisciplinary theatre and visual artist\, currently living as the winter caretaker of a spooky mansion just outside Antigonish.

DJ Uncle Fester brings together some of Halifax’ hottest MCs and the amazing Superfluid Collective for a night of great performances and a live off-the-floor recording session of new music. \nPart I: DJ Uncle Fester & Friends\nFeaturing General Khan & Ambeez\, Ghettosocks\, and Aquakultre \nPart II: DJ Uncle Fester x Superfluid Collective\n\nSuperfluid Collective will be DJ Uncle Fester’s live band for a night of new music recorded off-the-floor for a future collaborative album to be released later this year. Be here on the ground level for something special! \nDJ Uncle Fester \n16 year Vet of the Halifax Hip-Hop scene DJ Uncle Fester is always creating. A founding member of the Backburner crew\, Fes has worked on many award winning albums and with artists from all across North America. Recording\, Engineering\, Producing\, DJing\, Beat Making and touring with The Extremities are all ways in which Fes has spread his sound across the map. With all this work already put in and no signs of slowing down\, look for many upcoming projects to come. \nIG: @fester902\nWeb: http://www.djunclefester.com/\nBandcamp: https://djunclefester.bandcamp.com/\nMore Music on: http://blackbuffalorecords.ca/ \nSuperfluid Collective \nA blend of fusion and urban influences\, Superfluid is a quasi-collective\, multi-dimensional\, poly-genre force of kinetic energy that spins velveteen lyrics across smooth grooves\, silk Rhodes\, and soulful guitars. On spaceship earth\, energy is neither created nor destroyed\, it simply changes form. This is true for individuals that make up Superfluid Collective. Ranging from Bengali\, Iranian\, Pubjabi M’ikMa’ki\, English\, Irish and Canadian backgrounds\, the group has come together through a shared thirst for Olands and basement jams. The group’s experience of immigration is paralleled by their vagabond work ethic\, moving between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick for shows. A quintessential festival band\, Superfluid is best experienced live. \nWeb: https://www.superfluidmusic.com/
