The Vancouver Art Gallery has switched cheap day from Thursdays to Tuesdays. This week, luckily, that’s the day the Ad Mare Wind Quintet premiere music written especially for the rotunda’s unique, reverberant acoustic qualities. They’ll be playing new pieces by three local composers, Jennifer Butler, James Beckwith Maxwell, and Jordan Nobles. <\/p>\n

AD MARE
\n7:00 pm
\nTuesday, March 7<\/p>\n

Rotunda of the Vancouver Art Gallery
\n750 Hornby Street, Vancouver<\/p>\n

Admission by Donation
\nInformation: 604-730-9449<\/b><\/p>\n

I haven’t seen the current exhibition<\/a>, though I’ve been wanting to, (Brian Jungun being snazzy and all), so I think this will be a perfect opportunity. It’s always a treat to have someone provide sonic landscapes to compliment the gallery’s exhibits. Wandering the vast rooms in silence just isn’t as kind. <\/p>\n

Also, and more personally important, Theater Under The Gun is this week<\/b>. What happens is that 10 to 12 theatre companies and\/or ensembles are given an inspiration package that contains an image, a prop, a sound bite, and a line of text, all of which must be used in the final performance. They have 48 hours. When I worked in theater, this was one of the most twisted, intensely fun things I ever took part in. (I will carry the mental scars of John Murphy, (he of The Heretic), fucking a plant on stage to the end of my days.)<\/p>\n

This is splendid news, because as far as I was aware, Theater Under the Gun had died this year. Chris McGregor and Trever Found, the two folk I used to know who ran it, hadn’t been able to find time for it. Apparently, though, it’s been taken over by two fairly-strangers-to-me, Heather Lindsay and France Perras, and they’ve stuck it into the new Show-Off Festival<\/a>, Here Be Monsters<\/b>,<\/a> (here’s a flyer<\/a>)<\/i>, which is being run by Monster Theater<\/a>, a group who work occasionally with my Calgary friends, One Yellow Rabbit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tickets are $12, unless you’re interested in checking out a few shows, then a pass is $25. I’m planning on getting a pass and letting the festival take over my life for days at a time. Anyone care to join me? It starts tomorrow at Performance Works at 8pm. You’ll miss the Low concert, but that’s forgivable. I promise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
