SUMMARY:Boswell - Dancing on Mountains: Women of the Kootenays
DESCRIPTION:Dancing on Mountains: Women of the Kootenays\nedited by Luanne Armstrong \nA new collection of stories that is a celebration of the brilliant\, radical essence of the women of the Kootenays is just out from Caitlin Press. The book was compiled and edited by award winning editor and author\, Luanne Armstrong. Dancing on Mountains is a collection of inspiring and eclectic stories written by women from across geography and time\, each of whom has been drawn to take root in the mystic\, beautiful Kootenays. In their own words\, these women—teachers\, artists\, musicians\, writers\, entrepreneurs and environmentalists—share stories that embody the spirit of the Kootenays. From fleeing the US draft alongside the men of the sixties and pushing against traditional gender roles and sexism\, to reclaiming Indigenous identities\, calling out environmental threats and fighting for our climate today\, these stories span the spectrum of human experience. \nNestled among pristine lakes\, powerful rivers and awe-inducing mountain ranges\, the Kootenay region of British Columbia has always drawn a distinctly adventurous crowd. The dramatic and somewhat isolated landscape has long been a fertile ground for artists\, musicians\, back-to- the-landers\, hippies\, environmentalists\, free thinkers\, and those seeking to escape the confines of big cities to the east and west and the political dynamics to the south. Others have called the area home for millennia—the Sinixt Nation\, which spans the interior plateau of BC and extends beyond the areas now known as the Kootenay region\, and the Ktunaxa Nation\, which have long resided on the lands and waters of the Kootenay and Columbia Rivers and beyond the confines of our colonial borders. Today\, the Kootenay region is a hub of farming\, arts\, culture and counterculture in British Columbia and the contributors for this fascinating anthology represent the wide\, culturally diverse and fascinating variety of women’s stories. \nThe book is available in bookstores or can be ordered from Caitlin Press.\nhttps://caitlinpress.com/ \nThe Boswell Book launch will be held Saturday\, April 24th\, at 4 pm at The Heart – Boswell Historical Society. \nReaders will be Maureen Cameron\, Ilana Cameron\, Paula Snow\, Polly Wilson and Yvette Schenkel. Our bookseller will be Joe Fraser of Kingfisher Books. Coffee by Lark Roasters.

The show is on Friday April 24 at 6:00 pm in The Bailey Theatre as part of the TECK Family Series. \nAn unforgettable\, moving and hilarious show from Jamie Adkins\, a performer in the vaudeville tradition of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. With no hi-tech distractions\, he heroically battles with everyday objects\, always on the verge of disaster.

[…] Adkins is a master of comic timing who seems to be having as much fun as his audience.” – Chronicle Telegraph \n“Contagious madness. […] Interaction with the young audience is the driving force behind this show. With his friendly face and funny acts…Circus Incognitus is a show for the whole family. Everyone will find something for them\, from the youngest to the parents. It’s fun\, entertaining and it’s timely.” – carrefourdequebec.com \nCircus Incognitus is a pure marvel that chases away all the gray clouds in the sky to explode with joy and light up stars in your eyes. It’s brilliant\, there are no other words.” – Le Soleil (Quebec) \nShow 65 minutes. \nRecognized as one of the most talented contemporary circus artists in Canada\, Jamie Adkins has performed Circus Incognitus over 1\,200 times across 27 countries and continues to captivate audiences with his unique blend of skill and humour.  \n“Here is a clown who transforms the trivial into the marvelous\, the banal into the extraordinary and the everyday into a fairy tale.” — Les Inrockuptibles (France) \nA renowned acrobat\, juggler\, and magnificent clown\, Jamie Adkins began his career at 13 as a street performer in his San Diego neighborhood\, where he delighted pedestrians. Later\, in San Francisco\, he continued his apprenticeship at the Pickle Family Circus. Now a Canadian citizen living in Quebec\, he is a former member of Cirque du Soleil and Cirque Éloize\, and distinguishes himself with his unique style that faithfully and humorously conveys the essence of the ordinary man. \nSingle tickets are $18 or get tickets to all 4 Family Series shows for just $60.
