Roundhouse Vision & Mission

2 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

his Program Guide provides the details on what we plan to offer for the next two programming seasons. There is a wealth of information, programs, courses and festivals. Do participate fully and you will find an engaging array of activities to consider and part take in.

Looking Back and Looking Ahead

Let me describe a few of the special classes and events:

Wine appreciation classes; taste different wines from around the world and learn more about the wines that you enjoy; Urban Artisans Craft Fair Nov 27 & 28th: Listen to live music and shop for unique gifts from local artists and craftspeople; In October, Community Dancers with be working with Alvin Tolentino on a new interdisciplinary dance work about the industrial history of Vancouver called Shadow Machine; BC Glass Arts Association on an exhibition of glass work, done only once every five years, generally a spectacular show; We’re heading outdoors a bit this fall: Music on Main is presenting “Chance Encounters” with us a music work that seems impromptu. One musician begins to play on the turntable and as if “by chance” other musicians and singers appear and join in. They play together and then slowly drift away. At the other end of the musical spectrum we are hosting Vancouver’s participation in the world wide simultaneous performance of Michael Jackson’s Thriller in David Lam Park. Last year we had 242 zombie dancers participating at the Roundhouse, and we’re hoping for about 400 this year at this fun and spectacular fundraising event for the Vancouver Food Bank. The Memory Festival will be memorable, specifically the 4 videos we produced with W2’s Bladerunners program, featuring the storytelling of Downtown Eastside writers from the Thursdays Writing Collective. Sustenance Festival: Feasting on Arts and Culture will explode with local food, art and family fun on World Food Day, October 16th. Yes, all of the above is in addition to our regular courses and workshops, youth and seniors programs and yoga from childhood to retirement age!

Has been a tough few months demanding many significant changes: First, due to the budget crisis in the city and therefore in the Parks Board, we were almost going to lose one valuable Recreation Programmer. After further negotiations, we were able to retain this position to continue our activities. But this resulted in us reimbursing the Parks Board for $40,600 to make up their shortfall. Also, we do not yet know what the next year’s budget of the Parks Board will be and what challenges will it bring and what demands we will be facing. We went through the Olympics with a split programming season and met many challenges along the way. Then came the HST on July 1st !!

Now the GOOD News: We have started on the Roundhouse Turntable Plaza legacy project with funds from the BC Transmission Corporation, the Parks Board and the Federal Infrastructure Funding Program. We expect this to be completed by March 31st, 2011 enabling us to offer enhanced activities combining more efficiently the indoor and outdoor spaces. We have introduced significant changes to the rentals and programs to make up for losses and the money owed to Parks Board. We are reviewing the Mezzanine and inside space utilization to use the currently unused blank space. We will monitor all these changes for their effectiveness and continue to make additional changes as necessary again in the next few months.

THE RoundHouse is Yours to Enjoy We welcome you to take part in any or many activities offered. Come and share your ideas with neighbours at the RH. Have fun, keep fit and be healthy.

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

looking back and looking Forward

e are entering a very exciting time where celebrating the Roundhouse past is being entwined with moving forward into the future. We have now unveiled a series of images and text in the Great Hall outlining the important phases of the Roundhouse from it’s beginnings as a steam train repair facility in the late 1800’s to its rebirth through Expo ’86 as a pavilion to it’s current use. Stop by for a browse through to see how the area has changed over 125 years and to get a better sense of the immense importance of the Roundhouse, CP Rail, and Yaletown in shaping Vancouver’s history. We are also working on a series of video vignettes to showcase the Roundhouse story and to better inform people of the vital role that this facilty has and continues to play. Through our turntable plaza redevelopment project we are hoping to showcase our history while creating new uses for the present and the future. The dream for the turntable is to create a people space where neighbours can meet, relax, and participate in events. Farmer’s markets, book sales, movie nights, performances, and festivals could all be part of a revitalized turntable plaza. Come to our Open House on Sept 9 to learn more about this exciting project and to share your ideas. This Program Guide combines both our Fall and Winter seasons of programs. We have an amazing menu of choices for you and your family. Please enjoy perusing this guide. We invite you to become involved and truly make the Roundhouse your community living room whether you are a dancer, a painter, a basketball player or an internet browser in our café. Best Wishes,

Margaret Watts, Roundhouse Supervisor

VOLUNTEER AT THE Roundhouse

RENT The Roundhouse

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.

Admin & Policies

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.

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 12th 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, and Laban Movement Analysis. Past instructors have included Tara Cheyenne, Kevin Bergsma, Vanessa Goodman, Kathryn Ricketts, Karen Jamieson, Donna Redlick, Barbara Bourget and many others. This fall the Community dancers are pleased to welcome Alvin Tolentino, to work on his new project, Shadow Machine. This interdisciplinary and collaborative creation incorporates contemporary dance, video, audio, photography and interactive technologies. It is inspired by the shifting histories of Vancouver’s industrial development in the early 20th century and juxtaposes those ideas against the post-industrial modern age. Shadow Machine seeks to engage audiences with a unique interpretation of Vancouver’s diverse and often hidden history. Focusing on the ways in which labour and technology shape our movements, bodies, and cultural identities, Shadow Machine has the workers, machinery, and people who have built Vancouver’s past and present at its heart. In November the Community Dancers will study bharata natyam, one of India’s most cherished classical dance styles, with Jai Govinda, founder of the Jai Govinda Dance Academy and Artistic Director of Mandala Arts and Culture. A leading male exponent of bharata natyam in Canada, his work has been acclaimed nationally and internationally.

January will see the community dancers working with Jacci Collins of Joe Ink Move-It! fame. Move It! puts an emphasis on physical literacy, creative expansion, mental health, confidence and overall well being as dancers experience the exhilaration of movement in a safe, non-judgemental environment. An independent dance artist, choreographer, yoga instructor, Jacci Collins has been facilitating Move It! Workshops since 2002. Jacci has worked in Johannesburg with Moving Into Dance Mophatong under the mentorship of David Thatanelo April, and here in Vancouver with Joe Laughlin, Tara Cheyenne, Kokoro Dance, and many others. See page 47 for workshops dates and times

Radix Theatre: Beautiful Problems

Presentation of Radix Theatre’s newest production Beautiful Problems nears but there’s still time for you to get involved. As part of their artist-in-residency at the Roundhouse, Radix invites you into their creative development process, asking you to help them explore performance ideas inspired by the 1997 chess match in which chess master Garry Kasparov was defeated by the IBM computer Deep Blue. No knowledge of chess is necessary, nor do you need to be a computer expert or experienced performer. Just bring your imagination, sense of humour and comfortable pants as the company looks at complexity, competition, and humanity’s evolving relationship with technology. Fall 2010 and Winter 2011 will see the company’s final workshops in the process and they’ll be refining some of the ideas developed so far. They’re looking for people from a variety of backgrounds and age groups to take part; participants from previous workshops are invited and encouraged to return. Sessions will feature the refinement and rehearsal of performance games, exercises and improvisations developed so far, in addition to the exploration of some new ideas. The goal is to develop the performance score for a chorus that will be featured in the presentation of Beautiful Problems at the Roundhouse Performance Centre in May 2011. You must be available and committed to attend each class. See page 48 for workshops dates and times

Karen Jamieson Collision

A joint residency at the Roundhouse and The Dance Centre. 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 fall and winter 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. The culminating work will be site specific to the Roundhouse and take place in public spaces allover the Roundhouse in the summer of 2011. The creative process continues. For more information see page

YOUTH THEATRE RESIDENCY PROJECT

Weightless: Beyond the Horizon

A Roundhouse residency with artist Melissa Waddell Keep your eyes open for a troupe of artists collaborating and hanging from the rafters this fall at the Roundhouse. This residency brings together Vancouver visual artist Melissa Waddell and participants from the Roundhouse summer pilot program Dancers & Drawers for a new look at traditional notions of life drawing. The artists will be drawing in public spaces at the Roundhouse, with aerial performer Kira Shaffer as their model. Life drawing is often centred on the depiction of the body at rest. Working with dancers this summer placed the artists’ focus on movement. “Weightless” goes a step further: the model will be suspended and moving in midair, eliminating the horizon line that ties a figure to the ground. This is a unique opportunity to explore the specific dynamic movement and suspension of mass involved in aerial performance. The drawings produced during the fall will be adapted into an installation project scheduled for next year. This final installation will use composition and light projection to re-create for the viewer the subtle beauty of the human form as seen through an artist’s eye, combined with the grace and power of aerial performance.

The Memory Festival

Roundhouse Youth Theatre Action Group (RHY-TAG) A Roundhouse Residency for Youth with Theatre Artists: Valerie Methot, Ken Lawson, Chandra Lesmeister and Jeremy Baxter Begun in spring of 2002, this Youth Theatre residency continues to engage youth with professional theatre artists to develop their knowledge and skills on and off the stage. Youth learn and participate in different aspects of theatre while creating their own scripts and seeing them through to production and performance. Over the years the Roundhouse Youth Theatre Action Group has cultivated many stellar performances, earned the support of the Canada Council for the Arts, and raised funds to help RAWA open an orphanage in Afghanistan. In May 2008, RHY-TAG was awarded the City of Vancouver Youth Award for outstanding contribution to the youth community in Vancouver. In December 2010, this project is starting the development process of a new collaborative play! Auditions will take place on August 11th and 13th. Youth selected to participate will start weekly workshops and rehearsals beginning December 2nd until May 2011, from 6-9pm. (No workshops on Dec 23rd and 30th.) Daytime and evening performances for the public will take place during Youth Week, the first week of May 2011. (School will be missed for the daytime shows)

If you have a passion for theatre and are interested and able to commit 100% to the production schedule -- including weekly Thursday workshops/rehearsals, tech rehearsals and all shows -- please leave a message for Valerie Methot with Shana Myara, Arts Programmer, at 604-713-1807 or Shana.Myara@vancouver.ca If you have missed the August audition dates, and you are interested in the project, call for updated information, to be put on a waitlist, or other possibilities for involvement. Here’s what some of the youth have to say about the project: I find the writing process rewarding. Being able to put ideas and issues that I feel are relevant into a play and actually having these ideas acted out on stage is an amazing experience for a youth, especially during an age when many feel their voices are not heard.” This project is a very important part of my life as it is to all the other participants in the group. It is a great way for young people to be able to voice their opinion through great art. Project partners include: Some Assembly. Roundhouse Community Arts and Recreation Centre and Vancouver Coastal Health. Supporters include: Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation, Ministry of Children and Family Development, Watari, Canada Council for the Arts, Vancouver School Board, Kinex, Methotical Productions, Vancouver Foundation, and Coal Harbour Community Centre.

A Roundhouse Residency in partnership with Geist and the SFU School of Writing and Publishing Finding its home this year at the Roundhouse, the Memory Festival is a showcase of memories not lost, and history remembered. The impulse behind bringing the Memory Festival to the Roundhouse was the chance to involve the community in the collective act of recollection. Become part of the process by learning to record memory podcasts (pg 42), write the perfect sentence (pg 42), take on a graphic memoir (pg 42) and more. The centrepiece of this festival is the Rewind: Memory on Tape video installation—a four-part series of video memoirs by writers from the DTES Thursdays Writing Collective. Known for their honest and raw readings and chapbooks, writers Irit Shimrat, Antonette Rea, Joan Morelli and Muriel Marjorie, reflect on prostitution, gender identity, mental health, immigration and more in this four-part video installation directed by the W2’s Bladerunners youth media training program. Since 2004, the Memory Festival has been a free-floating series of public events that focus on public and private memory. At the heart of each of the artworks lie questions of remembering, forgetting and the nature of memory itself.

Amid continual transformations, Vancouver challenges its citizens to understand these confines we call home--an amalgam of utopian, functional, and dysfunctional components. Developed with a team of prominent Vancouver artists utilizing material generated through public workshops at the Roundhouse, YVR comes in the form of an interactive paper theatre installation--a fragile, temporary collection of remembered and imaginary places, sounds, stories, and desires. And it’s a potluck! YVR is a co-production with the Xenographic Society (www.xenography.org). In memory of Lola McLaughlin.

ANU 8 – HUNGER

Interdisciplinary Arts Performance A Mother Tongue Media & Roundhouse Partnership PERFORMANCE: Fri Oct 8, 8pm Performance Centre Tickets @ door $18, $15 students/seniors/with non-perishable food donation PUBLIC DRESS REHEARSAL: Thu Oct 7, 7pm Admission by donation Artistic Director/Producer: Tanya Evanson Info: www.mothertonguemedia.com/anu. htm or 604 805 2252 “dreamlike…everyone should see this” ANU was founded by Iraqi-Canadian Visual Artist Jabbar Al Janabi. The concept was inspired by the story of the Sumerian sky god Anu, whose job was to illuminate the other gods’ creative powers in order to create the universe. That idea evolved among the destructive flashes of the Gulf War. What if – in that moment of explosive light – the result could be pure creation instead of pure destruction? It was this wartime experience that has guided the vision for annual ANU performances in Vancouver and the Middle East since 2001. Sixteen of Vancouver’s finest professional and emerging, contemporary and traditional, multicultural artists will gather for a series of five meetings. Throughout the meetings, the musicians, dancers, spoken word and visual artists interact through their art, ego and ears. The final meeting is the performance, where the Artistic Director, unseen from the lighting booth, literally shines the light of creation on one or more artists. This is their call to enter the narrative according to their discipline and the texture of the moment. They do this in spontaneous arias, curious fragments of thought, bone-chilling ensembles, sweeping movements and explosions of color and light. Each ANU project has the goal of creating strong enough personal and professional links among the artists to sustain unplanned, multidimensional, dynamic collaborations that tell a story, while entertaining and engaging an audience. To do that, artists must be open to the story as they create it. They surrender to the Light, to their own self, and eventually to each other as they walk the collaborative path towards unity. As part of the Roundhouse 2010 Sustenance: Feasting on Arts and Culture Festival, this eighth installment of ANU explores the theme of hunger.

Info: www.musiconmain.ca. lisa Bielawa’s Chance Encounter has captivated audiences in Manhattan parks, at New York’s Whitney Museum, outside the Zaha Hadid-designed MAXII museum, on the banks of the Tiber River in Rome and in Venice. Hear the Canadian debut, outdoors at the Roundhouse. For the Canadian debut, Grammy Award-winning soprano Susan Narucki is joined by the music on main All-Star Band. Lisa writes that Chance Encounter “is designed so that it is not prescribed where and how the audience should or might sit to enjoy the music. The musicians are in two separate locations, approximately half a city block away from each other. They arrive one or two at a time, over the course of seven minutes, so that it is not clear exactly when the performance has oﬃcially begun. The soprano’s sung ‘libretto’ is comprised entirely of utterances that Susan and I overheard over the course of a full year of travel, in transient public spaces around the world – Rome, Taipei, Anchorage, Salzburg, Dallas and beyond.”

Chance Encounter is the final performance in Music on Main’s Modulus Festival, four days of adventurous music making with leading classical, new and genre-bending artists.

The Memory Festival

Nov 10 - 19, Exhibition Hall, FREE

Constructing Memories (photographs)

Christopher Grabowski During the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in British Columbia, Christopher Grabowski photographed people posing in a gold frame before a Whistler Mountain backdrop mounted on Granville Island in Vancouver, by the National Portrait Gallery of Canada. Grabowski’s photography explores the way false memories are created and documented, and how those who construct the false memories inhabit them, yet how these constructions (the elaborate frame, the scene never visited) project a sense of individuality that transcends artifice.

Rewind: Memory on Tape

A Collaboration between the Thursdays Writers Collective and Bladerunners Info: www.thursdayspoemsandprose.ca www.creativetechnology.org Four writers, three video artists, ten minutes of tape. The result is four separate short films on memory featuring unforgettable Downtown Eastside writers Irit Shimrat, Antonette Rea, Joan Morelli and Muriel Marjorie facing the camera in compelling vignettes. This project is a collaboration between the Roundhouse, Bladerunners, a youth and media training program, and the Thursdays Writers Collective, named by Geist magazine as “the biggest, boldest, and by far the most vital conspiracy of writers operating in Vancouver at present.”

The Ecology of Memory

Faith Moosang in an interview with Hal Wake Fri Nov 12, 7pm – 7:45pm Exhibition Hall, FREE Join Faith Moosang (First Son: Portraits of C.D. Hoy) in an informal interview with Hal Wake, Artistic Director of the Vancouver International Writers Festival, on her process of collecting abandoned photo albums, home movies, slides and other ephemera related to the remembrance of the family. Moosang has amassed hundreds of personal photo albums from flea markets, garage sales, eBay and back alleys. In this discussion, she’ll consider the phenomenon of being a collector, as well as the nature and significance of the items she collects. Her special interest in everyday photography and her study of found objects has positioned her as part detective, who pieces together family histories from discarded images, and part anthropologist, who preserves lost artifacts and family memories.

BIG Graphic Stories

Ancient traditions and modern expressions merge in an interdisciplinary production that is creative, distinct and culturally reflective. The work moves from figurative representations of natural environment to abstract and musical representation of internal forces. In Chinese philosophy, mountain and river constitute the two poles and all the aspects of Nature – yin and yang. Their relationship is one of mutual constraint and fulfillment. They are the principal figures in the universal process of transformation, and influence/represent the human character in an ecological narrative to mirror our souls. Animation and media performance: Aleksandra Dulic and Kenneth Newby music compositions: Rui Shi Zhuo, Dorothy Chang and Lan Tung musicians: Lan Tung (erhu/Chinese violin & vocal), Haiqiong Deng (zheng/Chinese zither) and Jonathan Bernard (percussion) Producer: Lan Tung This project is supported by the Canada Council for the Arts, BC Arts Council, SOCAN Foundation, and Creative Studies, uBC Okanagan.

The central image of the work is a map of the City of Vancouver made from hundreds of found objects that are slowly and methodically assembled during performance. This physical construction of the city is mirrored by a soundscape composed of sampled and archived audio materials, from sounds of the street to snatches of song to oral testimonies. This unique residency project envisions Vancouver’s past and present, its real and imagined realities—a city recreated from shards of memory and myth, hopes and sufferings. City of Dreams is part of The PuSh International Performing Arts Festival, a multidisciplinary, international performance festival committed to bringing together critically acclaimed work from different disciplines under the umbrella of a single festival. The PuSh Festival highlights new ways of storytelling, new forms of staging, new approaches to combining disciplines, and new views on contemporary themes and issues.

Tai Chi Chuan: Beginner

In September 1888 a reporter from the Vancouver World newspaper visited the Roundhouse and was suitably impressed with the new facility. “A few particulars in connection with the construction of the C.P.R. machine shops and roundhouse will be of interest. There are stalls for twenty engines in the roundhouse, which is built in a semicircle of which the outside diameter is about 200 feet. The partitions between the separate stalls are of brick, the balance being of frame substantially built, and which is now being thoroughly brick veneered.”

58 Senior fitness and exercise: Tips for building a balanced exercise plan Staying active is not a science. Just remember that mixing different types of exercise helps both reduce monotony and improve your overall health. Here is an overview of the four building blocks of senior fitness and how they can help your body.

The 1st building block of senior fitness: Cardio endurance exercise

Older ADULT

What is it: Uses large muscle groups in rhythmic motions over a period of time. This type of exercise increases your body’s ability to deliver oxygen and nutrients to tissues and to remove waste over sustained periods of time. Cardio workouts get your heart pumping and you may even feel a little short of breath. Why it’s good for seniors: Helps lessen fatigue and shortness of breath. Promotes independence by improving endurance for daily activities such as walking, house cleaning, and errands. Cardio includes walking, stair climbing, swimming, hiking, cycling, rowing, tennis, and dancing.

Lead by vocalist DB Boyko, we will create sound, sing, and listen deeply as we delve into the world of vocal expression, and sound. Participants will shape this project together as they follow their own interests in a creative collaborative choir. We will present a public performance During Seniors Week in June 2011.
