Fri, May 13Weekly Storytelling Sessions* Following the Afronautic Trail In Following the Afronautic Trail, artist Camille Turner invites participants on a two-day, multisensory exploration and interrogation of sites and monuments within the vicinity of the University of Toronto’s downtown campus. A part of the durational narratives explored within Turner’s body of work, including her 2022 Biennial works Nave and the Black Historical Navigational Toolkit co-authored with Yaniya Lee, this program brings often forgotten histories to the forefront—specifically, the evidence of Canada’s colonial linkages between the transatlantic trade of enslaved Africans and its ongoing legacies. This two-part program will take place May 13 and 14, 2022 from 12–2pm each day. Co-presented with the Art Museum at the University of Toronto. This program is supported by the Toronto Arts Council and TBA’s Women Leading Initiative. ASL Interpreted Storytelling at 72 Perth Join us at 72 Perth Avenue in Toronto for a special Storytelling session led by Jeffrey Canton and accompanied by an American Sign Language English interpreter.

Sun, May 15A Conversation About Being in Place In this talk, researcher and media producer, Jennifer Wemigwans and Grandmother Jacque Lavallée introduce Wendigo – The Dirty Talker, an Augmented Reality teaching. For Grandmother Lavallée, being Anishnaabe is to be kind and to always carry sacred tobacco: it is these two things that keep us connected to everything. Through the Wendigo, Grandmother Lavallée asks participants to look back to the north of this land and remember the ice. Part of a weekly programming series in partnership between Toronto Landscape Observatory and the Toronto Biennial of Art. Yaliyat Cocahq Quebecoise and Wolastoq (Maliseet) artist Ivanie Aubin-Malo presents a dance workshop drawn from her experiences in powwow circles and in connecting with other wolastoqiyik communities. Together with Aubin-Malo, participants will take part in a warm-up routine incorporating techniques from powwow dance, followed by various movement exercises inspired by Wolastoqey language and cultural elements. This workshop promotes the revitalisation of Wolastoqey culture and offers participants the opportunity to learn about the richness and vitality of Indigenous cultures while on the territory that gave birth to them. Co-presented by the Toronto Biennial of Art and Oakville Galleries. | |

Coming Up:The sky held me (rainfall on hands hair lips) The sky held me (rainfall on hands hair lips) is a series of springtime site-specific performance investigations taking place at High Park over the course of five days. Building upon the interdisciplinary practice of artist Tanya Lukin Linklater and her work in the Biennial, Held in the air I never fell (spring lightning sweetgrass song), these process-based open rehearsals bring Linklater together with invited dancers Ivanie Aubin-Malo and Ceinwen Gobert, and composer/musician Laura Ortman to generate resonant embodied inquiries. | |

(NEW YORK, NY – May 10, 2022) Works & Process, the performing arts series at the Guggenheim, is proud to present the Glimmerglass Festival New Works, featuring excerpts of new works by several creators on May 22, 2022 at 7:30 pm. Taking place in the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Peter B. Lewis Theater at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, all programs invite audiences to embrace artistic process and uniquely blend performance highlights with insightful artists’ discussions. Francesca Zambello, the artistic and general director of the Glimmerglass Festival, introduces creators and excerpts from the upcoming 2022 festival, which includes a record number of new works: Composer Damien Geter and librettist Lila Palmer’s Holy Ground begins in a dystopian version of the present, in which the Messiah has not yet appeared. Can a rookie angel persuade a modern girl to take on the task, staving off the apocalypse? Tenor Overboard is a pastiche of lesser-known Rossini showpieces, with a hilarious new book by playwright Ken Ludwig. Composer Kamala Sankaram and librettist Jerre Dye’s Taking Up Serpents explores faith, family, and destiny through the eyes of the estranged daughter of a fire-and-brimstone preacher who is dangerously bitten by one of his own snakes. And, lastly, The Jungle Book, by composer Kamala Sankaram and librettist Kelley Rourke, reframes Rudyard Kipling’s classic tale as a refugee story, with a score that blends Western and Indian classical traditions. Throughout the pandemic, Works & Process continued to provide opportunities for artists and pioneered the bubble residency to support their work safely. The spring 2022 season will feature the official world premieres of works created by New York artists – many representing historically marginalized performing art cultures – and incubated during the peak of the pandemic inside 2020-21 Works & Process bubble residencies. Alongside the commissions, Works & Process will present performance excerpts of and artists discussions about new works prior to their premieres at leading organizations including BAAD!, BAM, Boston Ballet, Federal Hall, Glimmerglass Festival, The Metropolitan Opera, and New York City Ballet. WORKS & PROCESS TICKETS $35, $15 partial view. Pay-what-you-wish tickets are available for purchase online only at worksandprocess.org. House seats may be available for $1,000+ Friends of Works & Process. To purchase house seats, email friends@worksandprocess.org. House seats may be released to the public before performances. Works & Process has received support from the U.S. Small Business Administration Shuttered Venue Operators Grant and Paycheck Protection Program and NYC Employee Retention Grant Program. Glimmerglass Festival The Glimmerglass Festival is a professional non-profit summer opera company dedicated to producing new productions each season. Francesca Zambello was appointed Artistic & General Director in September 2010, and with the 2011 season, Glimmerglass Opera became The Glimmerglass Festival. The company continues its tradition of four new fully-staged productions, now including three operas and one work of American musical theater, performed with full orchestra, large cast and no sound amplification. These four productions are supplemented by special performances, cabarets, concerts, lectures and symposiums throughout the season. The company continues to attract an international audience to the scenic Cooperstown area, where the talent of singers, directors, designers and staff from around the world converges in the Alice Busch Opera Theater to produce world-class opera and music theater. Works & Process at the Guggenheim Described by The New York Times as “forward thinking” and “an exceptional opportunity to understand something of the creative process,” since 1984 Works & Process has welcomed New Yorkers to see, hear, and meet the most acclaimed performers and creators of the performing arts. Led by Producer Caroline Cronson and Executive Director Duke Dang, Works & Process nurtures and champions new works, shapes representation, amplifies underrepresented voices and performing arts cultures, and offers audiences unprecedented access to generations of leading creators and performers. Artist-driven programs blending performance highlights with insightful discussions are, when permitted, followed by receptions in the rotunda, producing an opportunity for collective learning and community building while also helping to cultivate a more inclusive, fair, and representative world. Approximately fifty performances take place annually in the Guggenheim’s Frank Lloyd Wright–designed, 273-seat Peter B. Lewis Theater. Annually Works & Process produces a program at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in Spain as well. In 2017 Works & Process established a residency program inviting artists to create newly commissioned performances made in and for the iconic Guggenheim rotunda. In 2020 Works & Process Artists (WPA) Virtual Commissions was created to financially support 84 new works and over 280 artists and nurture their creative process during the pandemic. To forge a path for artists to safely gather, create, and perform during the pandemic from summer 2020 through spring 2021, Works & Process pioneered and produced 250 bubble residencies supporting 247 artists, made possible through the generous support of The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation. On March 20, 2021, after over a year of shuttered indoor performances and with special guidance from New York State’s Department of Health, Works & Process was the first cultural organization to reopen live, indoor ticketed performances in the rotunda of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. Photo: The Passion of Mary Cardwell Dawson. Courtesy of the Glimmerglass Festival #guggenheimmuseum#fineartmagazine#glimmerglass # |
