About The Roundhouse Roundhouse Vision & Mission 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.

Roundhouse Policies VOLUNTEER AT THE Roundhouse 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. Volunteers contribute to our programs, special events, board and committees as well as various environmental and cultural events.

Currently over 200 volunteers continue to give their time and commitment to the Roundhouse, and these volunteers are as varied as the programs we offer. We are always looking to develop new volunteer positions which support our mandate to be an oasis for recreation and arts and culture expression in the downtown Vancouver area. The contributions that the volunteers make to the Roundhouse allow us to ensure that the centre continues to offer financially accessible and high quality programming to the public.

If you want to have some fun, meet new people, keep active physically and mentally and get involved in your community then set up a time to meet with our volunteer coordinator to see what you can do here at the Roundhouse.

Roundhouse 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 13th year, this dance residency brings together non-professional movers of all ages, working with professional dancers in a wide range of disciplines from classical ballet to hip hop, to clowning and aerial dance. Past instructors have included Tara Cheyenne, Kevin Bergsma, Donna Redlick, Jai Govinda, Desiree Dunbar and many others.

This season begins with guest artist Kat Single-Dain, co-founder of The Dusty Flowerpot Cabaret.

Kat teaches, directs, choreographs and performs in Vancouver, using clowning, contact improvisation, contemporary, tap and swing dance in various combinations. She is an award-winning filmmaker and critically acclaimed choreographer and dramaturge specializing in the intersection of clown and contemporary dance. A graduate of UC Berkeley, she has choreographed seven full-length, original theatre productions, teaches across BC, and in Nevada yearly, and in Vancouver hosts regular dance classes and free community jams exploring multidisciplinary approaches to dance. Kat recently wrote, directed and choreographed Hard Times Hit Parade, an immersive theatrical experience set in a Depression era dance marathon. She is involved in the post production for the feature film version of Hard Times Hit Parade.

In November the Community Dancers begin work with Kathryn Ricketts on a community project: Sounding Communities: Rhythm Footsteps, Stories. In her work, Kathryn Ricketts focuses on personal narratives shared and reconfigured using artifacts, movement and theatre as a base for exploration. A dancer, choreographer, researcher and interdisciplinary performance artist, Kathryn creates work where collaboration, shared storytelling and performance merge into one. Kathryn has worked for over 25 years in the field of movement and visual arts, heading three dance companies in Europe and North America.

Her work has been presented throughout Europe, South America, Africa and Canada in schools, art galleries, museums and community spaces. She holds a PhD from Simon Fraser University focusing on an approach she terms Embodied Poetic Narrative. For more information see page 52

Seniors’ Dance: Move It! Jacci Collins invites older adults to rediscover the profound pleasure of movement! Alleviate stress, affirm creativity and find renewed energy and confidence. Jacci is an independent dance artist, choreographer, yoga instructor and dance educator who has been proudly facilitating Joe Ink’s Move It! Community Dance Workshops since 2002. A graduate of the dance program at Simon Fraser University, Jacci studied under the mentorship of David Thatanelo with Moving Into Dance Mophatong, Johannesburg. Jacci has had the pleasure of working with Joe Laughlin, Tara Cheyenne Friedenberg, Kokoro Dance, Cori Caufield, Barbara Murray and Linda Turnbull.

For more information see page 59

Sonic Playground The Roundhouse, in collaboration with Western Front New Music is pleased to host a soundscape residency as part of Sonic Playground 2012. Sound artists Soressa Gardner and Donna Lytle will work with youth ages 11 – 16 to develop an original sound project that brings together found sound and oral storytelling in a soundscape of Vancouver past and present. Collect sound and stories through sound walks, interviews, diaries, and spoken word. Participants will learn about recording, creating and manipulating sound to creatively explore past and future visions of this place. The final work will be premiered at Sonic Playground as part of the Jazz Festival 2012.

Covert Theatre: Dear Stephen with Radix Theatre This season the Roundhouse is collaborating with Radix Theatre to create our first covert theatre project. Covert theatre brings together community members to create public music, dance and theatre interventions that play out on city streets, in shopping malls, on transit and in public spaces. Join us to integrate art into the push and pull of daily life, and make public space more delightful, provocative and a little bit surreal.

Radix Theatre has been producing innovative and exciting performance events locally and nationally since 1988, focusing on experimentation and collaborative creation. Radix is currently steered by Artistic Director Andrew Laurenson who works with a team of artists developing company vision and projects. Their work is often site-specific, experimenting with the idea of audience in relation to performance. Past performance locations have includes a tour bus, a diner, a parking lot with audience members in cars, IKEA and a hotel banquet hall.

ROUNDHOUSE Artist Residencies

Roundhouse Artist Residencies Turntable Turning; The Roundhouse Then and Now A Celebration of the Historical and Contemporary Life of the Roundhouse Complex and Community This interdisciplinary arts project will explore the history of the Roundhouse neighbourhood and its significance as the terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railway. At the same time we celebrate the integration of the contemporary and the historical in our densely populated and diverse urban neighbourhood. In September and October historian in residence John Atkin and aerial dance artist Kira Schaffer will work with community members to create two outdoor works that will be presented at the Roundhouse to celebrate the restoration and renovation of our turntable. John and the students of Elsie Roy Elementary School and King George Secondary will create a ghost map of the original Roundhouse complex on the sidewalks of Yaletown, while Kira Schaffer’s new aerial dance project will explore immigration and change in Vancouver over the last 125 years.

Theatre Replacement: Movie Group Theatre Replacement Artistic Directors James Long and Maiko Bae Yamamoto invite older adults to read, discuss and experiment with the staging of classic American film scripts from the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. Movie Group will explore the ways language, place, culture and the participating individuals themselves have changed in the 40 years since these films were premiered. The goal of these sessions will be to experiment with combining written screen plays with individual personal stories, objects, movement, voice and performance. We will continue in the winter and spring of 2012, culminating in a public workshop performance of one of the scripts and connected memories.

Artistic Directors James Long and Maiko Bae Yamamoto founded Theatre Replacement over 15 years ago and performances of their work have toured Canada, the US and Europe. Theatre Replacement builds performances that speak to contemporary existence and investigate the events that fill our lives. Their work engages with biography, relationship to audience and space and explorations of unique and challenging ways to explore content and ideas.

YOUTH THEATRE RESIDENCY PROJECT Roundhouse Youth Theatre Action Group (RHY-TAG) A Roundhouse Residency with Some Assembly Theatre Artists: Valerie Methot, Ken Lawson, Chandra Lesmeister and Jeremy Baxter Since 2002, this award-winning youth theatre project engages youth with professional theatre artists in the creation and performance of new plays for public audiences. This project has seen many talented teens with stellar performances of artistic and thought-provoking plays.

CELEBRATING 125 YEARS OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE IN THE CITY OF VANCOUVER A Roundhouse Exhibit Sat Oct 8 –Wed Oct 19, 9:30am–9:30pm Exhibition Hall, FREE Admission

For such a young city, Vancouver has a deliciously rich food and agricultural history. Our diverse ethnic communities have helped create Vancouver’s food culture. From the regional food sources of the Musqueam First Nation to Chinatown, where the Chinese Smorgasbord was born and where the best Chinese food in the world is….From our east side Italian backyard gardens to the west side’s Granville Island Pubic Market, Vancouver’s No. 1 tourist destination. And while most of Vancouver’s farmland is a distant memory, the names live on at the McLeery Golf Course built on Vancouver’s first farm, and Avalon Dairy whose 1906 ranch started with just 6 cows. From Rogers Sugar to a year round farmers market and from UBC’s very own farm to the increasing number of rooftop gardens, there’s an art to growing food. From Overwaitea Foods who started as the “over weight tea” store to the 100 Mile Diet which has caught the world’s attention in raising awareness about the importance of eating a regional diet. Vancouver’s past is a tasty piece of history. Come take a bite.

Gold Mountain Dream.

A Roundhouse Partnership with Orchid Ensemble and Flicker Arts Collaboratory Thurs Dec 1, 8:00pm Performance Centre Tickets: $20/$15 at the Door, $18/$13 in adv at www.ticketweb.ca or 1-888-222-6606 www.orchidensemble.com Gold Mountain Dream explores the themes of Chinese Diaspora and cultural conflict through interactive media arts, live music, spoken word, and backed by life-stories collected from numerous insightful interviews from different generations of Chinese Canadians.

Incorporating Asian traditions with contemporary expression, the Orchid Ensemble combines Chinese traditional musical instruments (erhu and zheng) with western percussion, performing original work by Canadian composers: Mark Armanini, Dorothy Chang, Lan Tung, Michael Vincent, Ya-wen Wang, and Jin Zhang. Media artists Kenneth Newby and Aleksandra Dulic punctuate the space with interactive multimedia: a projection of abstract images drawing on Chinese calligraphy, brush painting, Chinese dance, Chinese opera, and videos and photos from museum collections.

Just like most Canadians, the artists are themselves different generations of immigrants from different lands. In this project, they examine the search for cultural identity and social acceptance in four themes – water, fire, travel, and dream.

Musicians: Lan Tung (erhu/Chinese violin & vocals), Yu-Chen Wang (zheng/Chinese zither), and Jonathan Bernard (percussion).
