SUMMARY:Andrea Superstein: OH MOTHER
DESCRIPTION:The Jazz at the Griff series\, presented by Trail & District Arts Council\, brings you Andrea Superstein: OH MOTHER in The Bailey Theatre.Andrea Superstein is one of the most versatile vocalists in Canadian music today. Dubbed as “redefining jazz” by the Vancouver Province\, her debut performance at the Vancouver International Jazz Festival earned her a nomination for a Galaxie Rising Star award and launched her squarely into the limelight. Her musical stylings exemplify powerful vocals\, evoking the gentle and the strong\, the light and the dark\, often in the same song\, luring us in deeper with killer improvisational instincts and exceptional storytelling. Superstein has graced multiple official Spotify playlists\, notably #4 on Vocal Jazz\, just ahead of Norah Jones\, received a 5-star review in BBC Music Magazine\, and is a crowd favourite on the touring scene performing at numerous well-known jazz venues and festivals in North America.OH MOTHER is a multimedia tour de force inspired by real life stories of motherhood. Meticulously arranged\, each song beautifully and poignantly evokes a mother’s deep and divergent emotional experience with a truth and sincerity that’s often lacking in today’s music. Layers of rich textures\, powerful vocals\, and heartfelt imagery in breathtaking videos\, enable Superstein to reach new artistic heights. While it focuses on the parental experience\, this free-spirited musical experience is for everyone.Watch the trailer for the show at https://youtu.be/zo7Iy0FbQ8w“She’s a genuine original.” – BBC Music Magazine“Vocal jazz delight. Oozing of swing. Laid back\, dark\, emotional. Just Super.” – Adore Jazz“Redefining what it means to sing jazz.” – Vancouver ProvinceLearn more about Andrea at www.andreasuperstein.com.All shows general admission.Single tickets are $25 and available online at thebailey.ca\, by phone at 250-368-9669\, and in person at the Bailey Box Office at 1501 Cedar Ave.\, Trail.The Jazz at the Griff series is made possible thanks to funding from McEwan Law\, BC Arts Council\, BC Touring Council\, the Government of Canada\, and Tourism South Kootenay.

A playback theatre troupe will be performing stories of the audience while a local visual artist Melanie Boothe will create a live painting inspired by the conversation between the audience and the actors.Playback theatre is a form of art that invites audience members to tell a “slice of life” story\, which is then retold on stage.What is linguistic insecurity?

SUMMARY:Sansei: The Storyteller and Yamabiko Taiko Drummers: Performing Arts Trail
DESCRIPTION:The Performing Arts Trail series\, presented by Trail & District Arts Council\, brings you Sansei: The Storyteller. Written and Performed by Kunji Ikeda. Produced by Cloudsway Dance Theatre.It may seem as though a light-hearted look at the Japanese Internment isn’t possible until you hear Kunji Ikeda say\, “If the Japanese Internment of WWII didn’t happen\, I wouldn’t be alive.”Sansei: The Storyteller uses dance\, theatre\, and humour to tell the story of one of Canada’s darkest decisions and how the rampant racism of past generations affected the Japanese community today.Kunji Ikeda investigates the social climates and hardships that affected the Ikeda family after they were labeled enemy aliens after the December 7\, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor triggered the internment and dispossession of tens of thousands of Japanese-Canadians.In a tale that is both illuminating and profoundly personal\, Sansei: The Storyteller weaves together dance\, narrative\, historical audio\, and recorded family recollections in a moving work that CBC hailed as both “timely” and “uniquely beautiful.”Ikeda conveys his grandparents’ emigration from Japan to British Columbia\, where his grandfather was a successful fisherman in Steveston\, B.C. Then\, in vivid contrast\, his stories follow his family’s incarceration as his grandmother\, father and uncle were held at Rosebery\, an internment camp outside New Denver\, while his grandfather was sent to live and work in a road camp to build the Hope-Princeton Highway.With compassion and unexpected humour\, Kunji Mark Ikeda shares his discovery of where he came from\, how his family navigated their histories\, and how the rampant racism of past generations has affected the Japanese community today.The silver lining? If not for the internment\, Ikeda wouldn’t be here to tell this story today…Created and performed by Kunji Ikeda.Creator/performer Ikeda “dances and says more with the movement of his fingers than many actors do with reams of dialogue” (Calgary Herald). The artistic director of Calgary’s Cloudsway Dance Theatre\, Ikeda’s moving multi-disciplinary works inventively combine story\, imagination\, and choreography.Watch the trailer at https://youtu.be/tJBU7pDNEKs.“A tale of profound historical impact. Sansei is storytelling at it’s finest; sophisticated\, meaningful\, moving\, and humorous.” – Laurie Fife\, Ottawa Storytellers Society“He’s a terrific stage presence… a natural-born storyteller. The agony and ambiguity of the Japanese Internment comes out as much in his dance as it does in his words.” – Stephen Hunt\, Calgary HeraldAwards:Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Drama (Nominated) – Betty Mitchell Award 2019Outstanding Choreography (Nominated) – Betty Mitchell Award 2019Best Solo Performance (Nominated) – Calgary Critter Awards 2015Best of Fest (Winner) – Calgary International Fringe Festival 2014The Yamabiko Taiko drummers will close out the evening with their high energy performance! Founded in 2003 in Kelowna\, BC\, Canada Yamabiko (meaning ‘Mountain Echo’ in Japanese) Taiko began with very humble and simple desires: purely to enjoy and play Japanese Taiko-style drums and be lost in their power and grace. Starting with homemade instruments made from packing tape and cut-to-size sewer pipes they began to gather in the basement of a member’s house.Today\, Yamabiko Taiko has evolved into a regularly performing group and practices have moved to the basement of the Kelowna Buddhist Temple.55-60 min Sansei Storyteller show followed by 30 min Taiko Drummers performanceIndividual Adult Ticket: $30.00.PLUS:• the bargain price of $10 for anyone under 30 years old• 2 for 1 for hospital / medical employees for all Performing Arts Trail shows.• New attendees 2 for 1: Bring someone who hasn’t been to the theatre before and get 2 for 1 for all Performing Arts Trail shows.
