Event Description: Opening Reception: Sat, May 25, 2:00-4:00pm Anne Gudrun From a young age Anne Gudrun has intuitively observed how lines, colours and shapes define the essence and personality of things. As an artist she explores her subject from her own unique vision of the world, and her paintings are interpretations and expressions of what she sees and experiences. Whether creating the figurative representation of a person or the abstraction of a flower, she explores the interactions between the shapes and colours on canvas; each colour and shape becoming its own character and contributing to the work as a whole. Her paintings reflect the beauty of nature with bold vibrancy and an innate sense of design. Born in Toronto, raised in North Vancouver, Anne Gudrun attended Art College in Norway and her work is in private collections in both Norway and Canada.

Event Description: In our 5 series talk, we will explore issues that concern each of us deeply. Through lively and challenging discussion, we invite you to feel excited and invigorated about them. Energize and explore these human qualities that we so often take for granted, yet which lay at the foundation for our individual creative expression. Our creative expression, our Art, flows from a source deep within us. All forms of creativity, from painting to dancing to fibre arts satisfy a deep human need to manipulate, play with, and work with matter. Art is fascination with matter, with the endless possibilities of interacting with colour, shape, form, movement, etc. To enhance your intrinsic artistic tools, we would like to contribute to your journey with our fascination with the inner matter. Come join us and awaken the fullness of artistic expression......we're talking not only about ART, but also about the ART OF LIVING! Some talks will be accompanied by a film or book discussion that highlights the issue while others will invite audience members to be the protagonists. Never underestimate the richness each of your life experiences offers. We invite you to be seen and heard for the star that you are! Each talk will build upon the previous to create a process of anchoring; we recommend attending all sessions if possible. Of course you are welcome to attend any session of your choice! TALK 2 - "FREEDOM" - Do we feel free to go all the way in our art? What is all the way? What stands in the way of an even deeper freedom of expression? Ourselves? Others? Society? A brief look at the "victim" role.

Having a team behind you that understands and is equipped to manage all of your activities is integral; equally important is having a place to manage your tasks without duplication as this directly effects your survival and growth. In this session, Vice President of Technology at Support Services Unlimited, Jay Nelson, will discuss the ways in which you can utilize technologies to facilitate the effective operation of your association.

Event Description: Predominant in western thinking, at least for the past few centuries, is the dichotomy between “nature” and “culture”, with humans seen to be above and dominant over nature. This perception, leading to particular behaviours and assumptions of those who adhere to it, it can be argued, has resulted in increasing degradation of natural systems, and an escalating loss of biodiversity the world over. What is less recognized is that not all human cultures embrace this philosophy. For many Indigenous societies, for example, there is a predominant belief that humans are part of nature, close relatives of other species, and that not only do we depend on these other species, but we have responsibilities towards them as we do to our own kin. This leads to a different kind of relationship with the natural world, and may give us clues about more sustainable ways of interacting with nature. However, these cultures with alternative views of the human-nature relationship are themselves widely threatened, and their knowledge and perspectives are being overrun by those of mainstream societies. Nevertheless, increasingly we are realizing that these differing cultural perspectives may be critically important in providing us with alternative models of relationships with other species and environments. Join Nancy Turner as we explore why thinking of the importance not only of biodiversity but of biocultural diversity can help us to frame our attitudes, our governance systems, and our very understandings of what it is to be human, and may help us to become responsible players in the world’s ecosystems. This lecture is made possible by the Wharton Memorial Fund. Donations are graciously accepted.

Event Description: On Thursday, February 28, 2013, the BC Sustainable Energy Association (BCSEA) Vancouver chapter and the Langara College Department of Physics and Astronomy will be showing The Fourth Revolution: Energy Autonomy (2010), a documentary film based on the ideas of renewable energy proponent Hermann Scheer. Tickets available at http://www.eventbrite.ca/event/5337994084 Hermann Scheer (1944--2010) was a member of the German parliament. In 1999, Scheer was awarded the Right Livelihood Award for his "indefatigable work for the promotion of solar energy worldwide." He was President of Eurosolar (the European Association for Renewable Energy), General Chairman of the World Council for Renewable Energy, and author of four books about renewable energy including Energy Autonomy: The Economic, Social and Technological Case for Renewable Energy (2006) and The Energy Imperative: 100 Percent Renewable Now, posthumously published in English in 2011. Scheer argued passionately that a total replacement of the fossil and nuclear energy system is both technically possible and urgently needed, and that the main obstacles are political. He was a strong advocate for renewable energy and worked tirelessly to help solve the problems of unequal access to energy globally. He was one of the initiators of the German feed-in tariffs that have led to a major rise in the use of renewable energies in Germany today. Details of event are as follows: Date & Time: Thursday Feb 28. Doors open at 6:30pm, film at 7:00pm, post-film discussion 8:30--9:30pm. Location: Theatre A122b, Langara College, 100 W 49th Ave. Vancouver. FREE for BCSEA members and Langara students, $5 for full time students, $7 for general entry. All funds support BCSEA Vancouver Chapter. Post-film discussion will be facilitated by Dr. Guido Wimmers, founding director of the Canadian Passive House Institute, who met Hermann Scheer in 2008.

Event Description: Verdi's La Traviata is every soprano's dream role. Follow Violetta, her lover Alfredo, Madame Flora, and Georgio Germont in this moving adaptation of the Dame aux Camelias story. Violetta, a young courtesan, encounters Alfredo at a party. He attempts to charm her, but she laughs at him, telling him that he can visit her when the flower (of his love) dies. Left alone, she simply can't forget him and begins to wonder if a girl like herself can have a serious love. They retire to the country, where she regains her health, only to be visited by Alfredo's father, who demands that she leave his son. Tearfully and regretfully, she does. Months pass, and Violetta returns to her former life in the city. Here, her illness returns and she finds herself alone and abandoned. Her only consolation is a letter from Georgio Germont, saying he has reconsidered and told Alfredo the truth. In her final hours the pair arrive only to say a final goodbye. Violetta, Elizabeth Lewis Celeste; Alfredo, Matt Chittick; Germont, Riley McMitchell; Flora/Annina, Melissa Howell and Roger Parton, piano. Tickets 1-800-838-3006 (wheelchair accessible)

Event Description: In 2013, the first immigrants under a special program for displaced Tibetans are expected to arrive in Canada. In order to settle successfully, they will need help, guidance, and sponsorship support. This workshop is intended to introduce the public to the program and provide information on the types of community support that are needed. The Resettlement Program: After the Tibetan Canadian community appealed to the government to help displaced Tibetans, a special immigration program was developed to address challenges faced by stateless Tibetans who currently reside in the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh. 1000 people from that community will be permitted to immigrate to Canada over the next few years. Through this Resettlement Program, Canada offers them hope for long term safety and stability that may endure for generations to come.

Location: Havana Restaurant

Event Description: Liquid Presented by Windy City Women, I No. Films and The Jeff Turner Entertainment Group. When: December 19th-22nd, 2012 8:00PM Where: 1212 Commercial Drive, Vancouver Advanced tickets $10 online http://www.havanarestaur… or $12.00 at the door. Not your typical joke-for-joke play, "Liquid" is a full-length, entirely improvised two-act performance, based solely on audience suggestions and contributions. The ultimate success of "Liquid" is dependent on the actor's ability and stamina to run a completely unplanned, unscripted play without ever leaving the stage. Act one begins with a simple suggestion from an audience member, from there, without discussion, the play occurs in real-time with no jump cuts, flashbacks or dream sequences. In short, the actors are the puppets, dancing to the music of a benevolent master or that of a malevolent tyrant! Which will it be? But NOT only that... THEN, at the drop of a hat, the cast must serve up the SEQUEL or PREQUEL to that story for Act II...depending again on the whims of the audience as they decide! As with Act I, the excitement not only lies in the split second decision making that the cast must make to spark un-born characters into life BUT the cast must also weave a story to compliment Act I! And every audience is treated to a never-been-seen before play that will never be repeated! Breathtaking! An audience member can come to every show and still not see the same story! No one else in Vancouver is offering this high-wire-without-a-net form of theatre! Only 60 people per night will be treated to this magic. Unlike cabaret or competitive style improv, the goal of "Liquid" is not to be satirically funny, it is rather to create a story in which relationships, plot and character development carry the audience through the improvised journey of the cast. Although comedy is not the overall goal, it will undoubtedly be a by-product.

Joining LDON (as he is often referred to by friends) are long time collaborators and New York stalwarts JOHN WEBBER bass and JOE FARNSWORTH drums. LeDonne is most noted for his work with the great Milt Jackson and Benny Golson but has amassed an impressive catalogue of recordings as a leader both on piano and organ. Don't miss this great weekend! After graduating from the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, LeDonne moved to New York, where he started working at Jimmy Ryan's (at the time, one of New York's oldest jazz clubs). Here LeDonne met and played with some of the great historical figures of jazz, including Roy Eldridge, Papa Jo Jones, and Vic Dickenson, among others. In 1988, LeDonne joined the Milt Jackson Quartet, frequently writing compositions for the group. Jackson eventually recorded several of these compositions and LeDonne became the band's musical director after Jackson's death in 1999. LeDonne began recording in 1988, debuting with the post-bop album Bout Time, which was released on the Criss Cross label. LeDonne recorded several more albums for Criss Cross throughout the early and mid-'90s, peaking with the sextet album Soulmates, a straight-ahead recording which featured soloists such as alto saxophonist Jon Gordon, tenor saxophonist Joshua Redman, and trumpeter Ryan Kysor. LeDonne switched to the Double Time label in 1998, recording Waltz for an Urbanite and, the quintet album Then and Now, which features the exceptional playing of tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander. LeDonne has enjoyed a long run recording for High Note Records and Savant both as a pianist and organist. LeDonne remains among the best pianists on the New York jazz scene today and has been praised by such jazz luminaries as Oscar Peterson, Milt Jackson, and Benny Golson. Don't miss these performances!

Event Description: When looking for automated solutions to industrial applications, what are your options? If you're looking to improve quality, maximize productivity, and reduce costs, then installing a robot may be a solution for your facility. Robots can allow your company to maintain it’s competitive edge without offshoring. Today most robots are used in manufacturing operations; material handling, processing operations, and assembly and inspection, but often they can be much more versatile. Many Canadian SME’s are already reaping the rewards from integrating robotic cells into their production systems. Robotic cells can provide SME’s with increased precision, shorter cycle times and the ability to run 24/7. As with any technology there are risks, a poor design and implementation can lead to expensive re-design and integration work.

Event Description: Art is where you find it, and in the case of choreographer Allison Orr, it's in the garbage, specifically in the work of the Department of Solid Waste Services in Austin, Texas. Allison spent a year riding along with the employees of the Sanitation Department, observing not only their daily routines -- everything from recycling and garbage collection to retrieving dead animals alongside the highway. But convincing the workers that there is beauty in the movements of garbage trucks and heavy machinery proves no easy feat. As Allison gamely tries to convince her performers that she isn't crazy, the real meaning of the piece becomes clear. Making people who are largely invisible, not only seen, but celebrated has an impact far beyond the performance itself. Winner of multiple awards including Special Jury Recognition at the 2012 SXSW Festival, Audience Awards at the Full Frame Festival, The Silverdocs Festival and Best Documentary Feature at the Woods Hole Film Festival, DOXA's presentation of Trash Dance will be its first screening in Greater Vancouver.

Event Description: Circle Craft Co-operative is pleased to present “Thinking Outside the Circle,” turned wood by Ed Pretty, in their gallery located in the Net Loft on Granville Island, November 2 – December 4, 2012. Ed Pretty’s work is turned on a lathe, which makes wood round. He says, “My intention is to use various methods to make things not round, use portions of circles in deconstructed and reconstructed pieces ... and also, some round pieces” … Thus, “Thinking Outside the Circle.” Pretty turns pieces that are intended to please the eye as opposed to being functional. “For me, the turned form is more a starting point than a finished piece,” says Pretty, and adds, “My work at times uses multiple centres. For example a table leg uses one set of centres while “Lau Chuang” (photo to the left) used three sets of centres.” “Other pieces I have completed have been cut into pieces or produced using a "lost wood" method, then reconstructed as pieces that most would not recognize as being made on a lathe.” Woodturning became a part of Pretty’s skill set at the age of nine when his father gave him his first instruction in the craft. Since that time, he has been drawn to turned objects as a way of showing off those qualities that make wood such an attractive medium. “I have found that woodturnings tend to be very tactile: people enjoy their appearance, but more often than not want to hold or – more accurately – fondle turned objects to experience the feel of their surface and form,” says Pretty. In his shop in Langley, BC, Pretty enjoys working almost exclusively with local wood. “In addition to taking advantage of the exciting grain patterns in figured wood, I more often than not will colour the wood using dyes, or texture the surface in some way,” he says. Ed Pretty is a member of Circle Craft Cooperative. For more information about Pretty, visit: http://www.edswoodturning.com/

A new creation by Bruce Monk of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet follows. Created to the music of Debussy's ‘Nuage’, Monk uses an incredibly inventive lighting sequence as a set. The close of first act will include Jacques Brel Belgian songs, songs which Destrooper describes as fun, uplifting snippets of life. Ballet Off Broadway is the original story of a young dancer who arrives in the big city and the fading ballerina who is threatened by her beauty and talent. Bold Broadway numbers and the backstage shenanigans allow the dancers to showcase a variety of styles. The culmination of the show, a rousing rendition of Roxanne (ala Moulin Rouge) smoulders sensuality and fun.
