SUMMARY:STOODIS Indigenous Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:In 2023\, the STOODIS Indigenous Film Festival debuted\, exploring the film industry’s “Colonial Gaze” and immersing audiences in authentic Indigenous narratives. Thomas King’s words\, “The truth about stories\, is that’s all we are\,” underscored the festival’s emphasis on the profound impact of storytelling\, particularly on youth. \nThe festival’s design draws inspiration from the Medicine Wheel\, a symbol of cultural significance\, representing life’s various facets for Indigenous communities. STOODIS aims to promote the normalization and celebration of Indigenous presence and perspectives. In the predominantly rural\, settler community in which we live\, the festival seeks to cultivate knowledge\, support\, and humanization of Indigenous people\, fostering a shared understanding of past\, present\, and future. \nIn  2024\, STOODIS will offer a celebration of diverse and compelling storytelling through film\, live performances\, and community engagement and conversations. The festival aims to showcase the work of emerging and established Indigenous artists while fostering a sense of community and cultural exchange. This year\, STOODIS will spotlight global Indigenous resistance\, excellence\, and resurgence.

SUMMARY:MAMA’S BROKE
DESCRIPTION:Mama’s Broke is a powerful duo that deliver a compelling performance with heart and raw energy.  Although highly influenced by their Canadian roots\, Lisa and Amy are based out of nowhere and everywhere. \nTheir two strong voices blend to create haunting harmonies\, while they artfully juggle fiddle\, banjo\, guitar and mandolin\, and incorporate traditional dance and foot percussion into their performance.  Their original -and often dark- compositions push the boundaries of tradition and the constraints of genre.  Drawing from old-time\, Quebecois\, blues\, punk\, celtic\, balkan and doom metal\, they create a soundscape that is both familiar and new.

SUMMARY:SINGLE MOTHERS\, SPITE HOUSE\, BITTER//WASHED
DESCRIPTION:Single Mothers has made a compelling case for bullshit. Not bullshit as in the self-serving act of using untruths for personal gain but rather how red flags\, stacked odds and strike outs can somehow inspire a collective recklessness to keep at it. \nSPITE HOUSE is one of those bands born out of intuition. Vocalist Maxime Lajoie (guitar and vocals) cites the unexpected death of his mother as the spark to dig into his desire to sing for a band and ignite an old idea between former friend and schoolmate Marc Tremblay (drums). Shortly after\, the two had fallen into a cohesive writing rhythm of tracks bearing influences such as Samiam\, Jawbreaker and Seaweed with a modern flair. The band’s sonic trajectory was cemented with the inclusion of Nabil Ortega (bass)\, who also shared a mutual love for the band’s list of influences. \nBITTER//WASHED is a four piece Garage Punk band built on the broken dreams of misled youth. A barrage of reckless riffs and relentless rhythm balanced on the edge of a knife. Rock n Roll at it’s primitive best!

SUMMARY:Ballet Kelowna The Cowboy Act Suite and Other Works
DESCRIPTION:The Cowboy Act Suite and Other Works – Capitol Season\nAdult $38\nSenior $34.50\nUnder 30 $20 \nBC Touring Council’s Artistic Company of the Year Award \nBallet Kelowna is honoured to have received the 2024 Artistic Company of the Year award from the British Columbia Touring Council.\nThe nominators wrote: 
”Over the past decade\, the ballet world has undergone rapid transformation led by a new generation of visionary Artistic Directors. Several regional ballet companies have evolved and earned their place among those actively commissioning some of the most innovative dance creations in Canada. Among these trailblazing companies is the winner of tonight’s award. \nCameron Fraser-Monroe’s The Cowboy Act Suite is a work that explores the dichotomy between “Cowboys and Indians.” While these caricatures have been portrayed on pages\, stages\, and in films\, they are often penned from a colonial perspective. Fraser-Monroe’s intuitive take on the swashbuckling strut of the Cowboy informs this intellectual unpacking of a one-sided lens and flips the script to ask\, what happens when an Indian directs the Cowboys through their history? The Cowboy Act Suite will be paired with two other signature works from Ballet Kelowna’s repertoire.
