SUMMARY:Oktopus: Performing Arts Trail
DESCRIPTION:The Performing Arts Trail series\, presented by Trail & District Arts Council\, brings you Oktopus.Based in Quebec\, Oktopus is a major presence on the Canadian world music scene\, with over 250 performances to its credit at home and abroad. The octet is primarily devoted to klezmer—the musical heritage of Eastern European Jews—distinguished by a novel approach that incorporates various components of the classical and Quebecois repertoire\, with some jazz and Balkan accents.The group’s eight virtuoso musicians offer festive\, high-energy performances\, at once melancholic and profound\, sprinkled with humour and spiced with narrative\, in which original compositions and finely crafted arrangements combine with improvisation. Its members’ complicity\, shared passion\, and hard work are what makes each of their performances so memorable\, Oktopus is simply… ‘spectentacular’!Oktopus’ distinctive music is undeniably rooted in the klezmer tradition\, reflecting the rich history of a thousand-year-old community\, its persecutions and celebrations\, tears and laughter\, or both at the same time. The members of Oktopus are inspired by the music they hear throughout their own travels. Thus\, the melodies of several classical composers\, such as Bartók\, Brahms\, Prokofiev or Enescu are rearranged by the octet\, particularly their works derived from folk themes. Quebec songwriters are also sources of inspiration\, with Leclerc and Vigneault being added to the group’s repertoire.To hear and see more visit their website at https://www.oktopus.ca.MUSICIANS● Gabriel Paquin-Buki – clarinet\, composition and arrangements● Veronica Ungureanu– violin● Noémie Caron-Marcotte – flute● Matthieu Bourget – bass trombone● Madeleine Doyon – tenor trombone● Guillaume Martineau – piano● Maxime Philippe – drums and percussions● Francis Pigeon – trumpetAWARDS● 2021 – Nominee Canadian Folk Music Award● 2021 – Nominee Opus Award● 2021 – « Special prize for the most creative fusion of ancient and contemporary music traditions » awarded by the Slovak Radio Bratislava● 2018 – Nominee Canadian Folk Music Award● 2018 – Nominee Juno Award● Grand gagnant de la 8me édition du concours les syli d’or de la musique du monde2 x 40 min sets + intermission5 Show Series Pass: $123Individual Adult Ticket: $30.00\, except Shane Koyczan which is $35.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.

SUMMARY:Sitka String Quartet coming to Rossland!
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Rossland Miners Hall on Friday\, February 24th for the Rossland Council for Arts and Culture presentation of: Sitka String Quartet!We hate to end our Performance Series season but at least we get the pleasure of welcoming this talented group of women to the stage.Sitka String Quartet was formed by friends and colleagues in the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra. After years of playing together in the larger ensemble\, and sharing numerous concerts as chamber musicians within the VSO Chamber Players\, it was a natural extension of their like-minded musical curiosity\, open-heartedness\, and a fearless willingness to explore quartet repertoire across many genres that propelled these four musicians to form a professional quartet.They have enjoyed shared and individual performances in Italy\, France\, Germany\, Denmark\, Poland\, Austria\, Japan\, China\, Korea\, Iraq\, Lebanon\, and Australia. Their affection for British Columbia has kept them living within a few kilometres of one another\, and they are proud to perform in their home\, BC\, whenever the opportunity arises. Memorable live performances within the last ten months include an outdoor performance on Grouse Mountain near Vancouver\, and performances at the Firehall Theatre\, and High Beams Dreams in Gibsons\, BC.Help us welcome Cassandra Bequary\, Karen Gerbrecht\, Emilie Grimes\, and Olivia Blander as Sitka String Quartet!One thousand thank-you’s to our generous sponsors this season including Teck Trail Operations Ltd\, ITS Consulting\, the City of Rossland\, the BC Touring Council\, the BC Arts Council and the Province of British Columbia.For more information please contact: performance.rcac@gmail.comSee you at the Miners Hall!Sitka String Quartet (Music- String Quartet)90 minute performance; two 45 minute sets with intermissionFebruary 24\, 2023\, 7:30PMDoors open at 7pmMiners Hall\, 1765 Columbia Ave\, Rossland$25/ticket

SUMMARY:Body Positive Bollywood with Karima Essa
DESCRIPTION:Trail & District Arts Council presents “Body Positive Bollywood with Karima Essa” as part of the TECK Family Series on Saturday\, February 11 at 3 pm.A three-time Canadian National Dance champion\, Karima Essa is Vancouver’s very own Bollywood star. An incredibly charismatic and passionate performer\, choreographer and instructor\, she has used her one-of-a-kind Bollywood talent to entertain diverse audiences across Canada.Karima’s workshop-style dance show celebrates Bollywood dance as a fun\, cultural art form infusing music\, breathing and ideologies from the Middle East and South Asia. She encourages the audience to learn the basic elements\, including signature neck and head movements\, facial expressions and foot and hand movements\, all to current Bollywood hits. Students of all shapes and sizes will leave inspired to accept and love themselves inside and out\, on and off the dance floor!Since age 4\, Karima’s been gracing the stage in dance competitions\, events and OMNI TV’s Bollywood Star reality show. When she hit puberty at 11\, her body unwittingly became a blank canvas in which people could “paint” their admiration and adoration or their judgement and criticism. She grew up thinking she needed to be a “size zero” fuelled by the vanity of the Bollywood industry. However\, she has finally grown to love her new\, beautiful body.“She was charismatic and funny and her show had just the right amount of watch-and-learn and follow-me!” – Lakewood Elementary School \n“Karima Essa was fun\, high energy and had our entire community audience engaged!” – Queensborough Community Centre“Watching her perform inspires people from toddler to senior to join in\, and Karima’s praise\, levity and pure love keeps people dancing – and coming back for more.” – Kitsilano Community Centre Community \nThis is a 45-minute family show suitable for all ages.Also in the Teck Family Series:Alex Zerbe: The Zaniac on Sunday March 5\, 2023. When was the last time you laughed as hard as your kids? Alex Zerbe beatboxes\, juggles\, dances\, sings\, and performs magic\, as he zigzags between physical stunts and non-stop comedy. A self-described “human cartoon\,” his show is both super entertaining for the kids and for teens and adults.Tickets are $15.Tickets on sale at thebailey.ca or by calling 250-368-9669.The TECK Family Series is sponsored by Teck Trail Operations.

SUMMARY:Larry: Candice Roberts
DESCRIPTION:Trail & District Arts Council brings you LARRY by award-winning Canadian Clown Artist Candice Roberts on February 3 at The Bailey Theatre.LARRY sees Candice Roberts assume her alter ego\, Larry\, in a complex\, fearless\, and very funny portrait of a small-town Canadian dude on a path of self-discovery. Larry tries to be a woke feminist without compromising his masculinity\, so that he can prove that he’s worthy of a good woman\, can quit drinkin’ and even take up “medertation”. Bold\, smart and outrageously funny\, it turns out that LARRY’s journey into his own psyche uncovers more than he expected. \nRoberts uses LARRY to explore her experiences growing up as a female in rural BC\, Canada in the 1980s. Culled from the socially dominant\, homophobic male archetypes that surrounded her during her upbringing\, Larry helps her compassionately and hilariously examine the limitations of the gender binary\, and the complexity of what it means to be human.Trailer https://youtu.be/dagelL_AMdQ.Created and performed by: Candice RobertsDramaturg\, Direction and Clown Coaching by: Sonia Norris and Deanna FleysherRated: 18+ Nudity\, Course Language\, StrobeWINNER: Critic’s Pick for Outstanding New Work Orlando Winter Fest 2020WINNER: Edmonton’s Artist’s Pick of the Fringe 2019WINNER: Artistic Risk Award Vancouver Fringe 2019WINNER: Pick of the Fringe Vancouver 2019WINNER: Best of the Fests FRINGE ENCORE SERIES 2019 – Soho New York“A masterful\, weird\, poignant\, gut-busting\, vulnerable\, and thought-provoking tour de force from Candy Bones Theatre”- Cincinnati Fringe“A bare-bones\, outrageously funny send-up and exploration of gender\, gender roles\, masculinity\, stereotypes and affirmation”– René Grayre\, Show-score\, NYC“This is a daring\, weird\, hilarious show with head banging\, so basically everything you could want.” —the Georgia Straight“A fearless performer”– CBCWith funding support from the BC Arts Council\, the Government of British Columbia\, and the BC Touring Council.

FINDS HOPE IN THE FACE OF FAILURE THROUGH CLASSIC CLOWNING.Vintage music\, tap dance\, preposterous situations and dreamy surrealism… A heart fluttering comedy for all ages. Award-winning Vancouver-based clown artist Candice Roberts presents her clown tour de force IDEAS BOBERT at the Regina Fringe Festival. \nBobert is a silent character a la Charlie Chaplin who has a little red bird for a heart. His story asks us\, what happens if we are to deny our deepest dreams and desires? Teetering on the brink of absolute failure\, love-sick Bobert discovers his heart to be more important than he knew.With vintage silent film styling\, shadow puppetry\, stop motion animation projections\, dance\, and live music\, the world of Ideas Bobert is rich with magic and creativity. \nLike Ginger Rogers meets Mr. Bean on the Muppet show\, Ideas Bobert dances with the hilarious and the absurd.

SUMMARY:The Fretless
DESCRIPTION:Four ferocious players\, masterful composition\, and a genre-bending sound—Juno award-winning The Fretless is a Canadian quartet that has firmly taken its place on the map to a progressive form of “trad”.A supergroup of celebrated solo artists\, The Fretless has been creating a singular and signature sound that dares to expand the idea of what a string music quartet can be—transforming fiddle tunes and folk melodies into intricate\, beautiful\, high-energy arrangements that have quickly gained a dedicated following and accolades from around the world. Within what appears to be a simple construct — two fiddles\, a viola\, and a cello — The Fretless has created a sound that is distinctly rich\, multi-layered\, and uniquely percussive. This tonal quality is pushing traditional music to new heights\, producing a completely fresh approach to Folk music. \nBy putting fiddle tunes and folk melodies from the traditions of Irish\, Scottish\, Celtic\, bluegrass and old-timey American and Canadian music into a classical format\, these musicians have created unique music that is complex\, multi-layered\, and passionately expressive.Vocalist Madeline Roger will be singing many of the songs from “Open House”.Also! For the show at the Capitol\, The Fretless will be joined by Emily Millard to guest on a couple songs. Emily just moved to Nelson in the fall to begin teaching voice at Selkirk.
