SUMMARY:SmartSmart Presented by Impulse Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Entrance to this event in Wood Hall is at the Victoria Conservatory of Music at 900 Johnson Street. \n\nTicketed Event Dates\n\nWednesday\, November 5\, 7:00pm to 9:00pm\nThursday\, November 6\, 7:00pm to 9:00pm\nSunday\, November 9\, 2:00pm to 4:00pm\n\n\nImpulse Theatre presents SmartSmart by Adrienne Wong\n\nTake your phone to the theatre! Join Adrienne Wong for crafts\, storytelling\, and surprises. Leave your phone on. \n\nSmartphones are one of many ‘modifications’ humans make to themselves in the name of advancement. Early cybernetic devices have ranged from contact lenses to cochlear implants. Now haptics on our phones remind us to drink water\, notifications urge us to get enough sleep\, and our senses are extended by a web of computers accessible from the pocket-sized terminals we tuck under our pillows at night. This is a new work that explores pervasive media and our relationships to our devices\, how they extend our senses\, and affect our relationships with other humans and ourselves. \n\nFind out more about the show and other events at Peek Fest at www.impulsetheatre.ca/peek-fest.html \n\n\nVenue Accessibility\n\nThe 900 Johnson Street entrance is wheelchair accessible at street level.

By uplifting Indigenous youth\,” says Nikky Ermineskin\, “we are not only empowering the present — we are sustaining the culture\, language\, art and music that have carried us through generations. This is how we honour Truth and Reconciliation in a living\, breathing way.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the event\nThe evening will feature performances\, conversation\, and collaborative artmaking.

She is a descendant of the supernatural Wolf\, Kawadelekala\, who became the first of the Kingcome people.  \n\nThe image of this mythical being is prominent in much of Francis Dick’s native art\, acknowledging her contemporary ties to her cultural heritage. Francis holds this very near to the centre of her spirit\, as she relies on this hereditary knowledge for her strength. “Before anything else\, my work is about honouring my life process\, my journey\, through my fires\, from places of pain and darkness to places that I might stand in my truth; my work is not a career\, it’s a way of life.”  \n\nFrancis began her career as a social worker after receiving her degree from the University of Victoria\, but quickly realized that her true calling in life was to honour her natural artistic talents. \n\nFrancis Dick’s first aboriginal painting\, Kawadelekala\, was created\, then published\, as a way to honour her grandmother’s life and spirit after her death in December of 1985. Four months later\, her youngest brother\, Jesse\, took his own life. She created her second aboriginal painting as a way to acknowledge her love and honour for her brother. The pain of losing Jesse took her to a doorway where her journey of self discovery began through her northwest coast art.  \n\nFrancis Dick is an integral member of the native art community\, and is frequently requested to speak for various community organizations\, women’s groups and university classes. She has been invited to speak as a guest lecturer as far away as Europe and has had native art exhibitions all around the globe\, including China and the Middle East. Francis’ native art has been exhibited in various art galleries and museums\, including a permanent exhibit at the Ethnological Museum in Berlin. Her aboriginal paintings\, as well as articles and interviews\, have been published in books\, calendars and magazines all over North America\, Asia and Europe.  \n\nAlthough Francis Dick’s primary forms of artistic expression have been her aboriginal paintings\, prints and singing\, she also works with gold and silver\, and is an accomplished writer and performer of native ceremonies.  \n\nJesse Campbell\nJesse Campbell is a Michif mural artist\, public arts consultant\, and director of Tah’lum (Tah-lum) Indigenous Artists collective. On his mother’s side he is Michif (mih-chiff) from St. Boniface as well as Salteaux (su-toh) from Waterhen Lake Manitoba. \n \nOn his Fathers side he his mixed English\, german\, and French ancestry. Jesse has been painting murals professionally since 2010 and has worked on some of the largest murals on the west coast including the Naat’sa’maat unity wall project on the Ogden Point Breakwater as well as the Rock Bay mural here in Victoria. \nJesse also works as a mentor to emerging Indigenous artists and as the Director of Tah’lum Indigenous artists collective. \n\nCedar Lopatecki\nCedar Lopatecki is an experimental guitarist who draws on a wide range of influences\, from blues to classical and ambient music. With endless possibilities\, Cedar seeks to explore meaning and thought through the medium of sound. Having grown up on the rural west coast\, nature plays a massive role in their life as well as their inspiration\, shaping how she approaches her creativity.  \n \nSailing the Salish Sea was released by Adam Dobres on his 2016 album Kin. It is a song of celebration for the land and waters we live on\, marvelling at their majesty\, playfulness\, and beauty. To quote the author himself\, “When I play this piece I hope that the listener joins me in imagining and appreciating this magical part of the world.” \n\nVenue Accessibility\n\nThe 900 Johnson Street entrance is wheelchair accessible at street level. There’s a drop-off zone out front\, elevator access inside\, and several accessible washrooms\, including a gender-neutral washroom.  \n\nWe honour Canoo and Access 2 Passes.
