SUMMARY:Listening in the Dark: equilibrium
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Sunday\, May 4 at 12:00 PM (ET) for a “Listening in the Dark: equilibrium”—part of the 2025 ArtsEverywhere Festival.  \nThis presentation will take place in person at ImprovLab\, MCKN 108 at the University of Guelph. The event is free and open to everybody! \n\nMore About the Workshop\n\n\nIf we do not live near the ocean are we separate from it? Some would say this is a planet of water with land interruptions. If we listen down into the ground to the tributaries that connect to great lakes\, the brackish waterways towards the ocean\, can we listen with the ocean? If we take a deep breath\, are we sharing the breath of cetaceans? The deep ocean\, this life-giving and complex multi-being body of water\, is described as unknowable. In listening with the ocean we may discover something as yet unknown. \nIn this three-hour gathering with Anne Bourne\, participation stems from Deep Listening practice and the Sonic text scores of Pauline Oliveros\, with standing by artist/osteopath Lesley Greco\, as well as sound interventions by composer/percussionist Germaine Liu. The practice of Deep Listening offers embodied listening\, extreme slow walk\, attunement\, and collective creative expression. \nThe experience invokes notions of interstitial places of rest\, sonic presence\, listening and equilibrium in darkness. No experience necessary. The intention is to create a choral sound field in a particular moment in time\, with movement influenced by the temporality of the wave patterns of water. The workshop invites a deeper attunement to each other\, ourselves\, our bodies\, and the more-than-human by expanding sensory listening imagination. “In listening within my field recordings I propose an environmental attunement experience leading towards the algorithmic text score\, The Tuning Meditation by Pauline Oliveros when we sing!\,” explains artist Anne Bourne. “It is transmitted aurally. I invite participants to listen\, and find equilibrium within the surroundings.” \n\n\nMore About the Festival\nThe ArtsEverywhere Festival is the place where conversations\, ideas\, and artistic experiments presented on ArtsEverywhere.ca come alive in our home community of Guelph\, Ontario\, Canada. \nOver four days\, the festival offers lectures\, conversations\, music\, artistic performances\, circle gatherings\, literary readings\, exhibitions\, and much more. As the publisher of ArtsEverywhere.ca\, Musagetes presents the festival with support from many community partners.

SUMMARY:the space between (Guelph Dance Festival—In the Lab)
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Saturday\, May 31 at 4:00 PM (ET) for the space between\, part of the 2025 Guelph Dance Festival! \nThis presentation will take place in person at ImprovLab\, MCKN 108 at the University of Guelph. Tickets are $15 (discounted) or $25. Purchase your tickets here. \nMore About the Event\nthe space between is a research-based creation that explores the intersection between sacred geometry (the transcultural belief that the universe is based on geometric principles such as the Golden Mean and double helix) and our relationship to the embodiment of the unseen and ‘déjà là’ (‘already there’).  \nthe space between navigates the fine line between artistic\, scientific and intuitive practices. I am gathering artists with the intention to bring approachable and friendly ways of experiencing the unseen (but felt) to the Guelph Dance community. \nI wish to cultivate a reciprocal offering with the space between. I want to offer experiences that deepen wonder and inspire sharing. In this time of collective unhinging and chaos\, it is my hope that this creation will offer a window into our human bodies as a site for reconnection and transformation.  \nCHOREOGRPAHY\nKatie Ewald \nPERFORMERS\nAndrea Nann\, Kevin O’Connor\, Julia Garlisi\, Katie Ewald \nDRAMATURGICAL SUPPORT\nComan Poon  \nOUTSIDE EYE\nAme Henderson \nEMOTIONAL SUPPORT\nLeslie Fisher \nBREATH-WORK SUPPORT\nTiago Ferreira \nABOUT THE CHOREOGRAPHER\nKatie Ewald lived and worked as a dancer in Montréal for fifteen years. Spliced inside that time she lived in Brussels\, Belgium and went to the dance school P.A.R.T.S.\, which formed her as an artist.  \nShe dedicated her career to working with avant-garde/conceptual artists and choreographers like: Ame Henderson/Public Recordings\, Martin Bélanger/LAPS\, k.g. Guttman\, Lin Snelling\, Chanti Wadge\, Shary Boyle\, Daniel Léveillé Danse and Forced Entertainment. \nDuring her time in Guelph\, she worked with Janet Johnson\, as well as curated/produced six Short&Sweet shows (Wants&Needs)\, as well as two Double Time shows for Guelph Dance and Kazoo! Fest. \nCurrently she is cultivating the dance project the space between\, while pursuing her Masters in Spiritual Integrated Psychotherapy and Art Therapy.  \nACKNOWLEDEMENTS\nThank you\, Asa.  \nThank you\, sacred geometries and source.  \nThank you to all the ancestors before me\, whether they be dance\, movement\, spiritual guidance\, mathematician\, seeker\, believer\, helper and healer\, and truth teller ancestors\, and those working to raise this world in both quiet and obvious ways currently. \nthe space between is in process. It is an unfinished art work. I would like to thank artist Jenn E. Norton for the inspiration for the space between\, and for conversations about our common interests in Chladni plates and sacred geometries\, but most importantly for sharing her knowledge and PHD research with us.  \nthe space between has been supported by both the Ontario Arts Council and the Canada Council for the Arts.
