Ephemera: An Archiving Party

Archiving Party Postcard with stamps

Join us as we create a paper trail to the past at this unique celebration of Vancouver's performance arts community. Co-produced by Rumble Theatre, Theatre Replacement, and Holding Space Productions, and building upon the spirit and energy of the recent Our Present Dance Histories Project, Ephemera: An Archiving Party seeks to create a story of the contemporary history of performance in our city, through examining the pieces of ephemera that have been left behind.

Here, the evidence is put in your hands. A few sheets of paper set the scene and indicate the problems. Archival materials such as newspapers, photos and sticky notes may be sorted and related by the group in order to create a 'method of history.' At this celebration, we hope to spark in the community a sense of the presence of Vancouver's performance history. We look forward to seeing many of you there!

March 29th, 2018, from 6 to 9pm
WHERE: PL1422 studio, 1422 William Street, Vancouver

Everyone is welcome to attend and to participate. To get yourself on the attendees list, please RSVP to cwatson@rumble.org by March 20, 2018.

More info can be found at: rumble.org and theatrereplacement.org

DIGITAL MOVES

Town Choir was recently invited to participate in LA SERRE's (Montréal) POSSIBLES platform:

POSSIBLES considers art as a conduit for social transformation and wishes to support practices that reflect on the future of cities. POSSIBLES reveals that together, artists and citizens can change the city for the better. They develop alternate routes, ways of reinventing the city in their image: gentler, more fluid, more united, more democratic. POSSIBLES is a movement that brings together artists, thinkers and citizens to develop the idea that the city is at the heart of a democratic and environmental revolution.

Visit Town Choir on the platform and learn more about POSSIBLES.

Thanks for reading this.
