SUMMARY:Mug
DESCRIPTION:A New Play by In My Own Voice (iMOVe) Arts Association\n\nMug revolves around the Mug Shots of three formerly incarcerated people – photographs that span collectively almost 30 years of being in conflict with oneself and the Justice System.

However\, when a person is convicted of committing an offence\, the process of taking involves much more. When a person is incarcerated\, the liberty of free movement is taken. The person’s clothes are taken. The ability to make many of their own decisions is taken. Through Mug\, three persons relive their past by offering their stories and invite us all to take the challenge of giving. \n Featuring performances by JRDN\n \n\nCast & Crew:\nCast: Craig Kelly\, Lance Perry\, Darren Tynes and JRDN\n\nDirected by Sobaz Benjamin\nWith assistance from: Liam Petite\, Jacob Sampson\, Michael Tennyson and Jordan Metro\n\nBiographies\n\nSobaz Benjamin\, Founder and Executive Director of In My Own Voice (iMOVe) Arts Association\, is an accomplished and recognized film-director\, as well as a community advocate\, youth mentor\, program facilitator and educator.

SUMMARY:I Was There
DESCRIPTION:An Audiovisual installation by Katie Toth and Mary-Dan Johnston\nIt goes like this: the bank closes\, along with the grocery\, then the laundromat\, the club\, the pub\, the corner store where we bought popsicles and cartons of milk. The schools crumbled and were consolidated. Now\, standing on the same spot where I bought my first vodka cran\, underage\, there is thick gravel where years ago I felt linoleum\, softer\, sticking to the sole of my shoe.\nThe geography remains the same\, but the landscape changes\nI was there is an attempt to illuminate the psychogeography of a city that is often accused of being stuck in the past. This mixed-media installation combines photography\, oral history testimony and cartography to shed a light on what is lost in the process of gentrification.\n  \nLocation and Hours\nThis piece is presented in the lobby of The Bus Stop Theatre Co-op and can be experienced ahead or after any event presented at this location. I can also be experience between 10am and 4pm daily from May 8th to 10th. \nBiographies\nKatie Toth is an emerging audio artist and digital/audio journalist who has been published in VICE\, the Village Voice\, and NPR. Her first art piece\, which celebrated New York City’s public transit system\, was produced in collaboration with photographer Lara Atallah\, and displayed at The New York City Transit Museum’s community artist event Platform. \nMary-Dan Johnston is a writer\, researcher\, educator working at the intersections of the public and the private. Trained as an oral historian and qualitative researcher\, she is particularly interested in how the political economy of the Maritimes has shaped the embodied experiences of working people. Her writing has recently appeared in GUTS Canadian Feminist Magazine. Her art practice uses street photography to capture moments of tension and collaboration between individuals and the built environment. \n  \nPresented in partnership with the Bus Stop Theatre Cooperative and the StART Festival. \n

SUMMARY:Spring Break From Capitalism
DESCRIPTION:A Reception for the Common Good\nJoin us after the International Worker’s Day Rally & March for a mini Spring Break From Capitalism at our all-inclusive resort at the Bus Stop Theatre. Free from pesky bosses micromanaging your workflow and making inappropriate remarks\, a micro-vacation with us will offer you time for a little much needed R&R&R&R (rest and relaxation and resistance and revolution). \nYour massive student debts and monthly car payments will disappear (from view at least)\, giving you ample opportunity to work on your tan. And after a few glorious minutes of digging your toes into the sand of our smooth sandy beach\, your crushing social anxiety will noticeably subside. Are the fears of rising rental costs and the impending climate crises getting the better of you? It might be time for you to swim over to our beach-side bar and try one of our non-alcoholic Daiquiris – “Sunny Vitamin D” for a long winter complete with real Vitamin D\, or “¡Ya Basta!” our revolutionary’s yerba matté slushie. No exploitative capitalist enterprises or colonial celebrations here\, we offer a break from your day-to-day oppressive monolithic super-structures. You can forget all about the cold dark shadow of misogynist authoritarianism that’s cast clear across the globe inciting fear and hate and violence when you and your friends relax in one of our hammocks under our daylight-spectrum simulating lights. \nOh\, and did we mention we’ll have free ice cream? Yes\, special Bread & Roses ice cream cones offered by Dee Dee’s Ice Cream. Yum! \nDeveloped by Zachary Gough and presented in partnership with Dee Dee’s Ice Cream \n  \n \n

SUMMARY:KAMP Songspiel: An Orchestral Preview
DESCRIPTION:An orchestral preview of a new Musical by Jamie Bradley and Garry Williams\nFrom 1933 until the end of the Second World War\, the Third Reich arrested homosexual men and imprisoned them in concentration camps. Crammed into isolation barracks\, these men suffered back-breaking work and torture beyond imagination.

SUMMARY:Fortune and Men's Eyes: a staged reading presented by Queer Acts
DESCRIPTION:Presented Queer Acts\nHow do we confront important but dated pieces from the queer theatre cannon? Queer Acts will host a staged reading of the classic play Fortune and Men’s Eyes\, debating its importance in the history of queer theatre\, and asking the question: is this script still relevant? \nWritten in 1967\, Fortune and Men’s Eyes was a groundbreaking piece examining themes of homosexuality and sex slavery. It shocked audiences and critics\, and has gone on to be an essential\, and controversial\, play in the history of Canadian theatre.\nSet in a Canadian prison for youth\, John Herbert’s play deals with society’s injustice towards gay men\, the brutality and homosexuality within prisons\, the corruption of police and guards\, and the need for friendship\, affection\, and love between prisoners. \nQueer Acts will host this reading with a gender-neutral cast. While seen as the portrayal of a time and place\, the piece is considered problematic\, laced with cliches and upsetting language. Does the piece still have relevance today or is it a dated script that speaks only to a time now forgotten? The reading will include a moderated discussion on queer history in Canada\, incarceration of homosexuals\, and queer theatre. Queer Acts looks forward to presenting this engaging script and discussion in a relaxed setting where all are welcome. \n

SUMMARY:Fugitives of the Creative Economy: The labour and resistance of young culture workers in precarious times
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Radical Imagination Project\nIn partnership with the Art & Activism Collective at NSCAD and the Khyber Centre for the Arts\n\nIt’s no secret: work (and lack of work) in the cultural sector in Nova Scotia is tough\, especially for young people. This roundtable discussion and workshop examines the deeper causes and diverse consequences of these trends. But it also offers visions of solidarity and struggle by and for young workers in the ‘creative economy\,’ as well as time to build relationships and new collaborations. \nGuest speakers: Raven Davis\, Max Haiven\, Jonna Pedersen\, Rebecca Rose\, Marina Sitrin and Cassie Thornton. \nThis event will be followed by A Precarious Workers’ Soirée at the Art Bar. \n
