Roundhouse Vision & Mission

Admin & Policies

In September of 1996 the Roundhouse Advisory Committee, composed of neighbourhood representatives, heritage supporters, members of the arts community and Park Board staff, undertook a retreat to work through a vision for the Roundhouse. The following is the result of those discussions: The overall mission is to celebrate diversity... of people, values, ideas and activities.

This mission is made up of three key elements: THE ROUNDHOUSE AS PROJECT All of us who work or play or socialize at the Roundhouse will be active participants in an evolving project to find new and creative ways to integrate the arts, community culture and sports.

THE ROUNDHOUSE AS OASIS The Roundhouse is located in the centre of one of the largest urban experiments in history, transforming a few hundred acres of mostly vacant lots into one of North America’s densest and most diverse urban sites. The Roundhouse will be an oasis in the centre of this dynamic mix, enabling people to use their creativity and energy (at whatever level) to rejuvenate themselves and to be better equipped to face a blizzard of challenges and opportunities around them.

THE ROUNDHOUSE AS CONNECTION The Roundhouse exists to identify and serve the needs of widely divergent communities.

To do this the Roundhouse must reach out to the places and situations where those communities feel comfortable. These relationships will grow into Roundhouse programs through sponsorships, partnerships, and our own productions.

VISION & MANDATE

President’s message

Admin & Policies

T

his season is going to be unlike any other in our history at The Roundhouse, with lots of fun, culture and recreation combined with opportunities to participate in a “once in a life time event.” Accommodating and celebrating the Olympics at The Roundhouse has meant tuning and retuning our energies and abilities to run with the times and be part of the fun. I am happy to welcome you back to The Roundhouse to create, recreate and reflect.

The Roundhouse was transformed into Casa Italia during the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. Our gymnasium became a showcase of Italian delicacies and our historic heritage building welcomed thousands of visitors from around the world. And yet with all the excitement and culture came an interruption to our regular programs and events. I’d like to thank you for enduring many changes and a truncated winter season, and to welcome you to our Spring and Summer programs. I hope you agree: it feels good to be back.

Your Board and staff have worked hard to put the right foot forward and, with Parks Board support, have raised $1.8 million towards making our dreams of developing the Turntable Plaza a reality. Thanks are due to the Parks Board Commissioners and staff, Roundhouse staff and Board members, Federal Government Infrastructure Program, the City of Vancouver and the BC Transmission Corporation. Yes, we have been immensely busy and it feels absolutely good to be where we are!!

With much already underway in 2010, there is still so much left to explore. Bring your family—humans and canines—to Dog Day Afternoon(p.15) May 30th in Cooper’s Park for activities, demonstrations and a fun day in the park. A few days later on May 3rd, we’re hosting our annual Easter Egg Hunt (p.12) with crafts and chocolate for the whole family.

Interested in introducing and enhancing your children’s interest in science? For the second time, we’re offering How to Build a Robot (p.28) in which students will learn about, build—and race!—actual robots. For all ages, the Astronomy Workshop (p.46) on April 16th will share access to telescopes along False Creek and offer a new view and information on the moon and planets.

As part of The Roundhouse’s commitment to generating new collaborative artworks, Shift: Place, Space & Identity, a middle years art project (p.14) that brings together students in grades 6 to 9 from Elsie Roy, Lord Roberts and King George schools to create works inspired by their neighborhoods. We are extremely proud to foster the students’ connections to one another and to their early artistic expression.

Please browse our print or online program and explore the many other events, classes and activities we offer. Our hope is that you’ll meet new people, make new friends and much inspiration, within these walls.

Best wishes,

.

Dr. V. Setty Pendakur president roundhouse community arts & recreation society

Volunteers at the Roundhouse are an essential part of our thriving community. Without the endless hours of volunteer service offered to the Roundhouse by our community members, we would not be able to do the wonderful work that we do.

WHAT IS A ROUNDHOUSE RESIDENCY?

Artist Residencies

The Residency program is an important part of our commitment to community cultural development. Professional artists and educators in residence engage for a year or more with the people who come together in and around the Roundhouse every day. Their collaborative projects unfold over time through workshops, drop in programs, discussions, rehearsals and productions. Residency projects are about building creative community; they promote diversity, interdisciplinary activity, innovation collaboration and involvement. In a Roundhouse Residency the process is as important as final product.

Residency programs are FREE with membership thanks to funding from the Vancouver Parks Board program but please register.

Roundhouse Community Dancers

Now in its 11th year, this dance residency brings together a community of non-professional movers of all ages to explore the processes of dance, working with professional dancers in a wide range of disciplines from classical ballet to hip hop. In the past we have worked with dancer/choreographers with expertise in modern and contemporary dance, clowning, aerial dance, fire dancing, Bharata Natyam classical East Indian dance, Laban Movement Analysis, and Authentic Movement. Past instructors have included Helen Walkley, Kathryn Ricketts, Karen Jamieson, Alvin Tolentino, Jai Govinda and Paras Terezakis, Donna Redlick, Barbara Bourget and many others.

This spring the Community dancers are pleased to welcome Vanessa Goodman and Kevin Bergsma. Vanessa Goodman is a co-founder of Contingency Plan, a contemporary dance collective commited to creating and presenting socially relevant and accessible work that is exciting, physical, and highly visceral. Since graduating her BFA in Dance from Simon Fraser University in 2006, Vanessa has performed in works by Judith Garay, Santee Smith, Rob Kitsos, Simone Orlando, Anthony Morgan and Serge Bennathan. She also works independently as a performer and choreographer, and has had her work presented at Dances for a Small Stage, and Blim. Kevin Bergsma, co-Founder and CoArtistic Director of BUTOH-a-GO-GO. A Butoh artist, dancer, singer, actor and choreographer, Kevin has performed and created work for international dance festivals and presentations across Canada, the United States, Poland, and Japan. A multi-disciplined artist, his creative forms include Butoh, cabaret, dance, film and television, musical theatre and opera.

Karen Jamieson Collision

A joint residency at the Roundhouse and The Dance Centre.

Radix Theatre: Beautiful Problems

Radix Theatre continues its artist-in-residency with further development of Beautiful Problems, a new production inspired by the 1997 chess match in which chess master Garry Kasparov was defeated by the IBM computer Deep Blue. Beautiful Problems explores complexity, competition, and humanity’s evolving relationship with technology.

Collision is the central metaphor for an evolving dance project with Karen Jamieson Dance – an imaginative collision of professional and community dancers, a dance centre and a community centre, a site specific work and a stage based performance. How fitting that this project should develop at the Roundhouse – a place where many histories, cultures and people and practices meet and engage.

The work on Collision continues this spring with free weekly dance workshops for people of all ages and abilities. Workshops will combine elements of previous Creation and Foundation programs and will include input from visiting artists. Participants will collaborate with Karen on ideas for a dance performance based around the theme of collision. Rehearsal and performance processes grow out of workshops and can involve members of the dance workshops who wish to go further in their creation of this new site specific work. A ‘sketch’ of the work they create will be performed at the Roundhouse in June of 2010. The culminating work will be site specific to the Roundhouse and take place in both public spaces and the Performance Centre in 2011. The creative process continues.

For more information see page 18 & 45

Wanna be part of the Problem?

Radix is seeking people from a variety of backgrounds and age groups to help continue the development of Beautiful Problems. Join Radix Artistic Director Andrew Laurenson and other Radix Associate Artists in exploring ideas for the show. Some performance experience is helpful but not mandatory. Workshops will feature performance games, exercises and improvisations in a fun and relaxed atmosphere, culminating in a public presentation at the end of the session.

You must be available and committed to attend each class. Participants will be given first consideration for casting in the final production, to be presented in the Roundhouse Performance Centre in May 2011.

No knowledge of chess is necessary! For details see page 45

John Atkin: Historian In Residence The Roundhouse is pleased to welcome back John Atkin as our historian in residence. John Atkin is an author, historian and heritage advocate who explores Vancouver like few others have, offering interesting and offbeat insights into the city’s architecture, history and neighborhoods. For the next year John will be working with us to develop creative and engaging ways to bring the history of the Roundhouse to life in our community. In March, we are pleased to premier a photographic exhibition John has researched and curated on the history of the Roundhouse.

SHIFT: Place, Space and Identity This spring and summer the Roundhouse is pleased to collaborate with Elsie Roy and Lord Roberts Elementary Schools, King George Secondary School and the Vancouver Art Gallery on a “Middle Years Project” with a special focus on our neighborhood students in Grades 6,7,8 and 9 who are transitioning from elementary school into secondary. This artist in residence project will see students working with photobased artist Josh Hite and sound artist Kristen Roos to explore Yaletown and the West End and make art about the ways their individual, physical experiences of place and community create and shift understandings of culture. Together they will explore the human body, individual and collective identity and the spaces where we live, play, learn move and work. Join us to experience and celebrate their finished work at a special exhibition at the Roundhouse in June.

The Roundhouse and community centres across Vancouver are pleased to join the Vancouver Art Gallery, the Museum of Anthopology, SFU School for Contemporary Art in the first Vancouver Draw Down. From June 11 to 13th join us in exhibitions, demonstrations and collaborative drawing projects of all shapes, sizes and media - including a city wide public drawing project. Whether you join us to draw with your pen or your bicycle wheels, on rag paper or the sidewalk, we challenge you to become public artists and performers and to throw down your pencil and declare: I can draw!

A Roundhouse Residency for Youth with Theatre Artists: Valerie Methot, Ken Lawson, Chandra Lesmeister and Jeremy Baxter This award-winning youth theatre project pairs youth with professional theatre artists to imagine, write, produce and perform their own play. Since November 2009, youth participants have created a script about ideas and life issues that are important to them, and participated in weekly workshops in the areas of scriptwriting, acting, movement, directing, make-up, costuming, lighting and sound.

Now, after almost 6 months of development the Youth Theatre group is very excited to present their new collaborative play. All performances take place in the Roundhouse Performance Centre with a talk-back session following each performance:

death and scrambled eggs

Residencies

They’re back! The design phase is now complete and, from April through June, musicians and instrument ‘inventors’ extraordinaire Brad Muirhead and Martin Fisk will continue to work with the Roundhouse Afterschool Kids Club to construct their new, giant musical instrument that will produce unique tonal and percussive sound collages. This residency is founded in the celebration and exploration of sound-making for children and anyone with a curious spirit.

Their finished work will be featured in a handson soundscape of interactive instruments and activities presented at the 2010 Jazz Festival.

This program is FREE thanks to funding from the Vancouver Parks Board and is presented in collaboration with Western Front New Music.

Dancer Choreographer Anthony Morgan is back to lead this six week exploration into basic concepts in dance technique including alignment, strength and elasticity. Anthony Morgan studied extensively at the Martha Graham and Alvin Ailey Schools in New York, as well as with Viola Farber, Jennifer Muller and others for modern dance and Finis Jung, David Howard and, especially, Alfredo Corvino for ballet. His contemporary dance technique classes are based on the techniques of Martha Graham, inflected by a sense of humour and spirituality.

Following a yoga and dance inflected warm up, explore improvisation as a tool for generating movement and discovering and understanding compositional concepts. Working with basic methods of manipulating space, time and energy, performance becomes a way of speaking through the body.

A Roundhouse partnership Sat, April 17, 7:30pm Performance Centre Tickets: ticketstonight.ca - 604.684.2787 Prices: Adult $35, Senior $25, Student/Youth $15 FREE OPEN COMPANY CLASS Sat, April 17, 1:30pm Masters’ Play features influential and ground breaking ballets that helped shape dance in Canada, along with formative ballets commissioned or created by Ballet Kelowna’s Artistic Director, David LaHay. Canadian master choreographer Brian Macdonald’s seminal ballet “Double Quartet” was inspired by the music of Franz Schubert and Canadian composer R. Murray Shafer.

“Double Quartet” is a perfect marriage of music and movement that has garnered national and international praise from audiences and critics alike. Both “Etude” by Vancouver choreographer Kay Armstrong and Ottawa choreographer Nesta Toumine’s hypnotic and ethereal “Gymnopedies” explore the dynamic fusion of classical and contemporary dance. Vancouver choreographer Joe Laughlin created “Butterfly Effect” in 2006 and reworked it as a pointe ballet for six dancers for Ballet Kelowna.

“Butterfly Effect” displays Joe’s unique stylization of movement and witty musicality and has touched audiences everywhere. David LaHay’s fast paced “Donizetti Dances” and his athletic contemporary “in Stride” round out this all-Canadian program.

As part of their Roundhouse partnership, Ballet Kelowna welcomes visitors to observe their Company Class on Saturday, April 17 from 1:302:45pm. This behind-the-scene glimpse of a professional ballet company will introduce participants to the rigors of daily class and the rehearsal process.

BLUEBIRD NORTH: Where Writers Sing and Tell

Events

Fri Jun 4, 7:00–10:00 pm Optional Donation at the door (suggestion $5-$10) Exhibition Hall The Queer Imaging & Riting Kollective for Elders (aka Quirk-e) is an out/spoken group of old and older LGBT folk who write about moments of grace & absurdity, sags & wrinkles, and the insights & frustrations that come from being on the receiving end of ageism, seism, and homophobia. Because being old and being queer is not a single experience, Quirk-e is a discordant and unruly choir, insisting, despite the odds, on showing the height, depth and breadth of their experiences.

Join us for the 2nd Annual Quirk-e Cabaret, a relaxed yet sophisticated gala celebration of quirk-e fun and wisdom. The focus is on three biographies’Piercing’, ‘Be/coming’, and ‘Circling’ - presented in video, image and word, both spoken and written.

View a screening of Callista Haggis’s new video about the group. The evening will end with a mic where you can showcase your work (4 minutes max). Bar and dancing will end off the evening.

Yes. They are old. But they have stamina like you wouldn’t believe. Come find out why.

18 Events Calendar - June & July Karen Jamieson Collision: A Sketch

A Roundhouse Residency Sat June 26 and Sun June 27 Exhibition Hall and Great Hall Free Public Performance A joint residency at the Roundhouse and The Dance Centre.

Join us for a glimpse of this work in progress. Collision is the central metaphor for an evolving dance project with Karen Jamieson Dance – an imaginative collision of professional and community dancers, a dance centre and a community centre, a site specific work and a stage based performance. How fitting that this project should develop at the Roundhouse – a place where many histories, cultures and people and practices meet and engage.

The work on Collision continues this spring with free weekly dance workshops for people of all ages and abilities. Workshops will combine elements of previous Creation and Foundation programs and will include input from visiting artists. Workshop participants will collaborate with Karen on ideas for a dance performance based around the theme of collision. Rehearsal and performance process will grow out of workshops and can involve members of the dance workshops who wish to go further in their creation of this new site specific work. A ‘sketch’ of the work they create will be performed at the Roundhouse in June. The culminating work will be site specific to the Roundhouse and take place in both public spaces and the Performance Centre in 2011. The creative process continues.

COPY

A Roundhouse Partnership Sun Jul 18– Tue Jul 20 Exhibition Hall and Performance Centre FREE Public Performances Copy is a multi-disciplinary and participatory work that explores duplication, mimicry, and degeneration. The piece reorganizes traditional expectations of theatre and lobby spaces, proposes a co-creation between both performers and viewers, and addresses the excessive duplication that is integral to the nature of our digital culture. Rather than a succession of predetermined imagery and movements, Copy is an ephemeral series of fragmented communications between bodies and screens. Created

by Justine Chambers and Josh Hite.

I’m Interested in Weight Training and the Roundhouse does not have a weight room?

Any suggestions?

Extensive scientific research strength training has shown strength training does increase the strength of your muscles, maintain the integrity of your bones and bone destiny. In addition, strength training can help reduce the signs and symptoms of many chronic diseases, including arthritis.

In other words aches and pains attributed to aging, can improve with exercise.

We offer many drop-in or pre registered fitness classes at the Roundhouse which incorporate weights.

Check out Monday morning Gentle fit class from 11:00-11:45, where a portion of the class we are working with a functional weight bearing exercises.

We are interested in the full range of past and present lives of the Roundhouse - from its most recent history as Yaletown’s unique and vibrant Community Arts and Recreation Centre to its role as an Expo Pavilion in 1986 to its industrial roots as a repair and maintenance facility for steam and diesel engines in 1888.

Please limit your story to 300 words and send it to stories@roundhouse.ca with your name and contact information. We will contact you for further information.
