SUMMARY:Bread & Roses: Can You See Us?
DESCRIPTION:English & French bilingual performance | Performance bilingue anglais-français\n>>Register Here for FREE Childcare\nASL interpretation will be available\n“Bread and Roses: Can you see us?” is an original performance created by visual artist and labour organizer Tricia Robinson Illustration (she/her) and poet and social justice activist Laura Doyle Péan (they/them). This collaborative performance tackles topics of invisibilized labour\, union work\, collective liberation and the importance of solidarity in the face of intersecting social crises.  Building on their decade of community organizing experience within the labour\, racial\, social and climate justice movements\, the two tiohtià:ke/mooniyang (Montréal) based artists attempt to shine light on forms of labour that are too often hidden and devalued. \nLive on stage\, Tricia will create original visual artwork in several mediums as Laura Doyle Péan recites some of their moving poetry  with themes of domestic and care labour\, activism\, unions\, and freedom. The conception of Tricia’s art pieces will be projected onto a  screen\, allowing the audience to witness her creation process live and close up. The projection of her work will serve to honour the  labour and care that goes into creating illustrations\, embroideries and linocuts\, hence putting emphasis on our understanding of art as  labour\, as well as pridefully using mediums that have such a rich history within liberation and activist movements. Unapologetically feminist and pro-worker\, Tricia and Laura\, with care and devotion\, are using this performance as a way to open conversations about  the labour movement and unionism as a whole\, and the importance of recognizing forms of labour that have historically been  undervalued\, criminalized\, and disregarded.

SUMMARY:Portrait of the Artist as an Essential Worker
DESCRIPTION:Work by Sarah Mosher and Hannah Genosko\nIn collaboration\, Mosher and Genosko use printmaking and textile processes to illustrate their experiences as essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. They are both professional artists who were employed in ‘casual’ day jobs in sectors that were labeled essential and became full-time during the COVID-19 pandemic: the Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation and Canada Post\, respectively. With their similar experiences they dig deeper into the ‘essential’ label where art and work don’t often intersect. They explore the repetitive nature of labour through the repetitive nature of printmaking\, and create images relevant to their experience; the images are printed on the uniforms they and their coworkers wore during their time of essential sector work. Folk quilting traditionally uses old clothes and other found materials for utility\, and the shape of the garments inform the geometry of the quilt. The uniforms are sewn into quilted banners that do not follow a traditional repeating pattern or conform to a rectangle\, but rather use patchwork and appliqué techniques to create an uncertain feeling. This method reflects the ever-changing and disjointed nature of the pandemic. \nSarah’s instagram is @realpzzazz \nTwo large quilts on display at the Bus Stop Theatre\, April 1st to June 30th

SUMMARY:Resting Space
DESCRIPTION:A Workshop by Becoming Old Growth\nWhat is your relationship with rest? Our personal experiences with burnout led us to global rest movements and the anti-capitalist rest manifesto of “Nap Bishop” Tricia Hersey. What changes when we recognize exhaustion as a collective issue rather than a personal one? In this three-hour workshop\, we invite participants into a guided\, communal resting space. Through gentle\, unstructured  opportunities to listen\, write\, draw\, move\, and make sound—or simply rest—the artists will guide participants to reflect on these  questions\, emphasizing the role of rest as a natural and necessary balance to labour. \nParticipants will be invited to share their ideas and experiences with the artists following the workshop session. Cushions and blankets will be available and you are welcome to bring your own comfort items to use during the workshop. \nRegistration Details\nPlease register in advance via this registration form: \n>>REGISTER HERE \nAge:\nWorkshop geared for adults and mature youth.

SUMMARY:Bruce Fummey - Stories of Scotland
DESCRIPTION:Stories of Scotland comes to Nova Scotia\, wrapping Scottish history and comedy into one hilarious and informative package with Bruce Fummey. \nThursday\, May 16th: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/stories-of-scotland-tickets-687542105947 \nFriday\, May 17th: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/stories-of-scotland-tickets-733143149897 \nBruce has spent fifteen years performing stand-up and creating Scottish history-themed shows for festivals around the world. A former teacher\, he has spent the last few years asking YouTube audiences to “Let me tell you a story” in a series of hugely popular videos\, amassing an incredible 200k subscribers for his YouTube channel\, Scotland History Tours. \nFilm and TV roles have followed in the wake of this success and in 2023 he’ll be coming to Halifax to tell stories and jokes in person with a brand-new live show\, Stories of Scotland. Nominated for many comedy awards and named Scottish Comedian Of The Year in 2014\, Bruce will bring his chirpy\, occasionally near-the-bone but self-deprecating style of comedy to spice up some of the stories from Scotland’s past. \n‘this man exudes infectious warmth and humour’ — chortle.co.uk \n‘put simply\, he is a very\, very funny man’ — The Skinny \n‘his timing is split second and his ad-lib ability is amazing’ — Daily Record \nAge Guidance 16+

SUMMARY:Ocean Kin - A Shadow Show
DESCRIPTION:Ocean Kin is a poetic shadow show contemplating our relationship to body and self inspired by the ecology of the sea otter. Three performers animate plexi-glass puppets\, 3D sculptural props and projected illustrations behind a screen using flashlights and an overhead projector. This mechanically complex and visually rich performance carries a loose narrative through words and an ethereal soundscape created by Halifax musician\, Layia. Inviting the audience to surrender to their inner quiet\, Ocean Kin is an emotive performance that is both aching and hopeful. \nWatch the show teaser here.\n \nAll tickets are pay-what-you-can\, and can be purchased here or at jeighkkoyote.com
