SUMMARY:A Timed Speed Read of the  Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire Trial Transcript  with Additional Notes
DESCRIPTION:May 29th to 31st | 7:30pm-9:00pm & June 1st | 2:00pm-3:30pm\nPresented by Surplus Production Unit\nIn 1911\, 146 people were killed in a fire at the factory of the Triangle Waist Company in New York.

Despite the  speed\, they must communicate the key points and central conflicts\, while giving insight into the 1911 events and their resonance with the world of today. Can they beat their best time? Can they surprise us? Can they help us remember? \nConceived by Alex McLean\nwith (alphabetically) Chun Shing Au\, Zach Faye\, Carmen Lee\, Kat McCormack\, Briony Merritt\, Lily Ross-Millard and Richie Wilcox \nStarring: Kat McCormack\, Briony Merritt and Richie Wilcox \nSet/prop design: Chun Shing Au\, Kai On Kerwin Lam and Carmen Lee\nDirection and Script (from verbatim sources): Alex McLean\nPreliminary Research: Myrto Koumarianos \n  \nSign language interpretation will be provided during the May 30th presentation. \n  \nPresented by \n        \n  \nWith support from \n

SUMMARY:the effects were cumulative and i almost didn’t notice
DESCRIPTION:By the year 2100\, port cities should prepare for a 250 centimetre rise in sea levels*\nWhere do our habits – as humans\, as workers\, as individuals\, as a society – lead us? The things we do every day. The things we don’t do\, every day. Small actions with eventual results. Time ceaselessly crashes on\, and the tendency of it all to add up can catch us by surprise. What do we tend to? What do we neglect? Tides slowly rise within us\, the world changes around us\, and we forget what a tiny pinprick of perspective we see it all from. How soon we are engulfed. How unwittingly we build our own prisons. \nFor 250 minutes\, performer/creator Colleen MacIsaac constructs an examination of how easily we can paint ourselves into a corner\, get in over our heads\, alter our circumstances until they are no longer safe for us. A durational exploration of what a long time it can take to arrive at what seems preventable in action yet feels inevitable upon arrival. \n  \n*The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration\, 2017 report.

SUMMARY:The True Cost of Coal
DESCRIPTION:Part visual art installation\, part spoken word storytelling\, The True Cost of Coal examines the cost of coal-powered electricity\, while celebrating stories of struggle from communities in the Appalachian mountains. A collaboration between the Beehive Design Collective and hip hop duo Test Their Logik\, this event features large scale murals and stinging rhymes that will resonate loudly in Nova Scotia. \n \nThe True Cost of Coal graphic uses mountaintop removal coal mining in Appalachia as a lens through which to understand the historical and contemporary story of energy and resource extraction. \nWith a gigantic portable mural teeming with intricate images of plants and animals from the most biodiverse temperate forest on the planet\, the Bees will share (and seek) stories of how mountaintop removal coal mining affect communities and ecosystems throughout Appalachia and beyond. \nLong exploited as a resource-extraction colony within the US\, the Appalachian mountains are home to a fight for survival which has determined\, in part\, the industrial power of this country. Without coal\, mined at a great cost to Appalachian communities\, there would be no ‘cheap’ electricity. Today’s energy corporations and government bodies are continuing to show the extent of their greed and short-sightedness as they push their extractive agendas in the “New Coal Rush.” We will expose the deceptions of “clean coal” technologies and bring to light the root causes of the climate chaos the planet is facing today. \nThe True Cost of Coal examines all of our connections to coal\, while celebrating stories of struggle from mountain communities. The last chapter of the story also looks to the future\, raising questions about alternatives\, remediation\, and regeneration. \n  \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n\nPresented by the Service Employees International Union Local 2
