SUMMARY:Mad Ones: A Reading of a Play in Progress followed by Discussion
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to an early draft reading and talk back discussion of a play in development entitled Mad Ones. Laura was awarded creation and dramaturgy funding from Arts Nova Scotia and Eastern Front Theatre’s Pitch It event for the development of a piece under the same name in 2016. However\, after having the privilege of meeting with the facilitators and other artists at Tangled Arts + Disability this past spring as part of their FLOURISHING series\, Laura decided to reimagine a new story\, using most of the same characters from the original script. \nThis reinvention of Mad Ones is set in the infamous Bedlam (Bethlem) Asylum in London in 1825. It is the story of Guen\, a mad woman\, and her lover Tsura\, who meet on a ship of fools – a place representing the dangerous yet inspired\, liminal space of Guen’s mind. This imaginal setting is juxtaposed with the harsh realities of Bedlam\, and Guen’s relationship with Dr. Jack Williams\, a well-meaning physician whose privilege and training are at odds with his high ideals for the treatment of asylum inmates. The play’s exploration of the origins of Moral Treatment poses many of the same questions psychiatry is faced with today\, such as: How can a mad person fully reclaim self-determination and volition if decisions about their reality are made for them? Mad Ones explores the difficult choices that mad folk – particularly mad women – have faced throughout our lineage of medicalizing anomalous experience. In this play\, Guen must choose between accepting help that denies aspects of her agency and autonomy\, or a difficult path where her choices and her values remain her own. \nMad Ones is an early draft of a play in development\, and Laura would like to thank Tangled Arts + Disability\, Arts Nova Scotia for contributing their support and inspiration in the early days of its creation and presentation. Also a sincere thank you to the Playwright’s Atlantic Resource Centre for making this reading possible. There will be a content warning for reference to violence\, descriptions of sexual assault and suicidality\, miscarriage\, and difficult subject matter. Laura will do her best to tell this story truthfully and yet responsibly. \n*FLOURISHING is a collaboration between Tangled Arts + Disability and The Canadian Association for Community Living Research and Development on Inclusion and Society (IRIS)\, Adjacent Possibilities\, and the inspired and inspiring disability scholar and artist Catherine Frazee. The goal is to explore the concept of flourishing as it exists alongside frailty\, disability and suffering. As part of this parternship\, Tangled Art Gallery is producing a series featuring 7 artists from across Canada from September to December. \nThis presentation is at an accessible venue with scripts for those who need them.

SUMMARY:A Feebleminded Dictator at the Bus Stop Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Halifax Fringe’s 2017 Best of Fest winner returns to Halifax for One-Night-Only!\nMum\, Mantis and Mouse cordially invite old friends and new friends to come frolic in their new and improved world of shadows and games on August 8th @ the Bus Stop Theatre @ 8:00pm.\nTickets are PWYC\, with a suggested donation of $10~$15\n(proceeds go towards helping fund our trip to the Edmonton Fringe Festival! woohoo!)\nWe hope to see you all there 🙂 \nSynopsis:\nIn a haunting world of shadows and make-believe\, watch three enchantingly grotesque characters struggle with vanity\, power\, and who makes the rules. \nThe play tells the story of three women living in isolation who have fallen prey to the vicious vanity of one. The women are free to play their games of ludicrous invention until tyrannical fantasies go too far. Enclosed in a haunting world of shadows and make-believe\, the show addresses power hierarchies and how the ego of one can be the destruction of many. Grey Gardens meets Looney Tunes in this absurdist fall brought to life with shadow play\, outlandish physical comedy\, and enchantingly grotesque characters. \nA Feebleminded Dictator is an original shadow play created by international trio Erin Johnston (Canada)\, Brittny Rebhuhn (IA) and Kate Tobie (CA). Originally created as their thesis piece at Dell’Arte International School of Physical Theatre\, the trio has continued to develop and tour the piece\, recently working at Mermaid Theatre of Windsor’s Loft Residency program. Coming up next is Edmonton Fringe 2018! \nWinner of Halifax Fringe 2017 Best of Fest\nWinner of Nugget Fringe 2017 Best of Fest\nWinner of Nugget Fringe 2017 Fringiest Fringe

SUMMARY:OBEY XI: Sarah Hennies + Melody McKiver
DESCRIPTION:++ Sarah Hennies ++\nhttp://www.obeyconvention.com/artists/sarah-hennies/\nhttp://www.sarah-hennies.com/ \nA composer and percussionist whose work utilizes an often grueling\, endurance-based performance practice\, Sarah Hennies examines psychoacoustics\, queer identity and expressionistic absurdity\, all through a subversive lense. In her internationally lauded performances\, outdated binaries dissolve: those between sound and music\, tension and release\, resistance and submission. Each of her compositions displays a kind of ferocity in dedication; a rigid conceptual underpinning that elevates the felt experience of the work to an almost preposterous degree. \n++ Melody McKiver ++\nhttp://www.obeyconvention.com/artists/melody-mckiver/\nhttps://soundcloud.com/melodymckiver/sets/reckoning-ep \nAn Anishinaabe multidisciplinary artist and arts educator\, Melody McKiver is a vital voice in the movement turning critical eyes towards the realities of colonization on Turtle Island. Currently living in Sioux Lookout on Treaty #3 territory\, McKiver is a member of Obishikokaang Lac Seul First Nation on their mother’s side and of settler Canadian Scottish-Lithuanian descent on their father’s side. Their most recent release\, 2017’s Reckoning EP\, is a deeply moving score for a theatre production of the same name. Centered around McKiver’s viola playing\, a stark\, experimental blend of Western Classical and Anishinaabe traditions\, the work explores the effects of Indian Residential Schools and the repercussions of The Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Their art not only raises awareness but celebrates the diversity and resilience of their own culture amongst the hundreds of Indigenous cultures that still call Turtle Island home. \n* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * \n$20 / PWYC / All Ages\nAccessible entrance.

From mouthpiece for the legendary punk-hop greats Warsawpack\, and throughout his solo work that followed\, Reed’s musical legacy remains committed to the fight for a better world.
