SUMMARY:Found in Translation / Trouvé dans la traduction
DESCRIPTION:By Sometimes in Nova Scotia (SiNS)\n \nMay 10\, 4:00pm-6:15pm (durational – drop in anytime) \n  \n \nCette présentation est présentée en anglais et en français grâce au soutient du gouvernement de la Nouvelle-Écosse.\nLa description ci-bas alterne entre l’anglais et le français. \n \nASL interpretation will be available \nChildcare available on site for free. Please register in advance. / Gardiennage gratuit disponible sur place. SVP instrivez-vous à l’avance (formulaire en anglais). \n\n \nFound in Translation is an interactive performance in which small objects are translated into movement\, drawing\, and poetry through a series of playful transformations. Audience members are invited to join with performers to uncover illuminating potentials in the things that surround us. \nFound in Translation originated as part of Eastern Front Theatre’s Macro Digitals: CONNECTIONS under the guidance of Kat McCormack\, with collaborators Katie Clarke\, Breton Lalama\, Logan Robins\, Gillian Seaward-Boone and Rebecca Wolfe. \n\n \nTrouvé dans la traduction est une performance interactive où de petits objets se transforment en mouvements\, dessins et poèmes grâce à une série de métamorphoses ludiques. Le public est invité à se joindre aux artistes pour découvrir le potentiel insoupçonné des objets qui nous entourent. \nCette pièce a été créée en 2022 avec les membres de la distribution originale Jacinte Armstrong\, Katie Clarke\, Breton Lalama\, Logan Robbins\, Gillian Seaward-Boone et Rebecca Wolfe\, avec la dramaturge Kat MacCormack\, et produite par Eastern Front Theatre\, Dartmouth\, NS. \n\n \nFound in Translation is an interactive performance that transforms small objects into movement\, drawing\, and poetry through a kind of artistic “assembly line.” Six performers take part at a time\, rotating through all of the roles: hosting\, describing\, drawing\, dancing\, typing poems\, and reading them aloud. Crucially\, the “machine” is always activated by audience participation. An audience member begins each round by arranging objects\, and at the end of the cycle\, they receive the poem that was generated and read out specifically for them – an artistic “gift” created through the collective process. \n\n \nTrouvé dans la traduction est une performance interactive qui transforme de petits objets en mouvement\, dessin et poésie grâce à une sorte de « chaîne de montage » artistique. Six performeurs participent simultanément\, endossant tour à tour tous les rôles : présenter\, décrire\, dessiner\, danser\, taper des poèmes et les lire à voix haute. Point essentiel\, la « machine » est toujours activée par la participation du public. Un spectateur initie chaque cycle en disposant des objets\, et à la fin\, il reçoit le poème créé et lu spécialement pour lui – un « cadeau » artistique né de ce processus collectif. \nEnsemble:\nNadine Sures\nMila Sahmarani\nGeneviève Steele\nWinnie Sherwood\nDaphné Sherwood\nSusan Leblanc\nFrançoise Labelle\nLiliona Quarmyne\nZya Langdon-Quarmyne\nMicaela Comeau\nIsabelle Peart\nJacinte Armstrong \n\n \nJACINTE ARMSTRONG (she/her) is an Acadian artist based in Kjipuktuk/Halifax\, NS.

SUMMARY:On the Line - Artist Reception
DESCRIPTION:By Audrey Eastwood\nOn display May 1 to June 1\nReception on May 10\, 4:00pm-6:15pm\nArtist Q&A on May 10\, 6:15pm-7:00pm \n    \nChildcare is available for free and on site during the May 10th reception and Q&A. Please register in advance. \nASL interpretation will be available during the May 10 Reception and Q&A \n\nOn the Line is a time-lapse video and photo compilation of six months’ worth of one of domestic labor’s most repetitive and relentless tasks: laundry. By   documenting every load washed\, every dryer load\, and every line of drying clothes\, the project seeks to show the cumulative weight of an everyday chore\,   particularly within the context of parenting and motherhood. \n\n \nAUDREY EASTWOOD is a multi-disciplinary artist\, General Manager of the Bus Stop Theatre Co-op\, and Co-Founder and Artistic Producer of Terra Novella Theatre. She has worked as an actor\,  designer\, musician\, technician\, and fight choreographer for a number of Kjipuktuk based companies including Villain’s Theatre\, Kick at the Dark Theatre Co-op\, Halifax Summer Opera\, Halifax Fringe\, Votive Dance and Whale Song Theatre. She is the mother of two young children\, and lives on a small farm with them and her partner Nick. Her artistic practice has shifted in the last few years to try and find space in the small gaps of time between work and childcare: cutting floral designs into sourdough bread\, filling indoor and outdoor spaces with plants\, teaching her kids the names of different birds and trees and how to successfully cut paper without cutting your small fingers\, and by making this art piece out of her never ending laundry pile.

SUMMARY:Am I Ovary-Acting?
DESCRIPTION:By Lunasea Theatre\n$10 in advance and $15 at the door\n\nIf cost is a barrier\, please reach out to info@mayworkskjipuktukhalifax.ca and we will accommodate you.\n \n  \n    \nChildcare is available for free and on site during the May 10th reception and Q&A. Please register in advance. \nASL interpretation will be available. \n\n \nAm I Ovary-Acting? is a work by LunaSea Theatre about reproductive justice that examines commonly held beliefs about health and medical care for those with ovaries/uteruses/vaginas. Through comedy\, storytelling\, rage and disbelief we explore reproductive health and justice through relevant objects. At Mayworks\, our focus will be the history\, uses and misuses of the speculum. This 50 minute show is part ted-talk\, part conversation\, part storytelling. When it comes to health and reproductive justice the political and social landscape right now is rife with misinformation\, disinformation and half-truths.  We are here to press against that tide with nuanced conversation and evidence-based information in a fun\, curious\, theatrical way. \nCredits:\nCreated and performed by Kathleen Dorian and Ailsa Galbreath \nResearch by Claire Horn \n\n \nKATHLEEN DORIAN (she/her) is a creator/actor based in Dartmouth\, NS (Punamu’kwati’jk).
