SUMMARY:VIRTUAL Island Mountain Harp and Cello School
DESCRIPTION:Now in its 35th year\, the Island Mountain Harp and Cello school brings World-class instructors together with students of all abilities for 5 days. Days are comprised of morning lessons\, afternoon special interest sessions and evening performances\, with time for coffee and catch-up throughout! We hope you’ll join us! \n\n\nMORNING INSTRUCTION | NOVICE / INTERMEDIATE / ADVANCED HARP; CELLO (ALL LEVELS)\n\n\n\n\nMaximum class size of 12.\nNOVICE HARP WITH SHOSHANNA GODBER\nPractice Strategies – making the most out of your practice time is a skill that needs to be learned alongside any instrument. Shoshanna will share her favourite strategies for learning and getting ready to perform your pieces. \nTechnique – we’ll work on developing a relaxed technique in order play pain-free and with the best tone possible. \nCreativity – with the right tools improvisation turns from being scary to opening up a whole new way to fall in love with the harp. Shoshanna will share her improvisation toolbox to help you make your own music no matter your reading or playing level. \n\n“The novice class will consist of three main topics. Every day we will spend time warming up and working on developing proper technique. I will go over fundamentals such as how to sit at the harp to avoid injury\, developing a relaxed hand position\, best placement of fingers on the strings and proper follow through into the palm. After the warm-up/technique time we will work on learning repertoire. The amount of pieces will be determined by the participants’ playing level. Through these pieces we will work on practice strategies such as analyzing the piece for patterns\, placing all fingers in a bracket\, dividing the piece into easily learned chunks (even if that is only one bar at a time) and how to coordinate playing hands together. Towards the end of the week we will switch from practicing to learn a piece to strategies to prepare to perform a piece. I will provide recordings of the pieces to aid students in learning the pieces regardless of their note reading ability. Lastly\, I will introduce improvisation strategies to help students develop the ability to work creatively on the harp. Strategies will include descending bass lines\, pentatonic tuning and a simple repeated chord progression. I will provide students with backing tracks so that they can continue to work on these strategies on their own.” – Shoshanna Godber \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nINTERMEDIATE HARP WITH SHARLENE WALLACE\nInspiration. Fluidity. Repertoire. Technique. Beauty. Fun. \nThe Intermediate level harp class will encompass how to play and what to play as well as how to practice! The class will learn new tunes\, left-hand accompaniments\, exercises and arranging ideas while incorporating relaxation\, technical ease\, pattern recognition\, beauty tone\, expressive playing\, improvisation and… other virtually mountainous inspirations! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nADVANCE HARP WITH TRISTAN LE GOVIC\nIn 1971\, the Breton harper Alan Stivell released history most famous album “Renaissance of the Celtic Harp”. This album had a fantastic echo within the Celtic world and for the development of the Celtic harp. \nCelebrating this 50th anniversary\, Tristan will teach some of the tunes of this ground-breaking album in this workshop and talk a bit about the harp in Brittany that led to the album. This will be a great opportunity to understand the variety of styles from the Celtic countries\, from Brittany\, Ireland\, Scotland\, Wales or Manx. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCELLO WITH MORAG NORTHEY\n\n“I look forward to working with every beautiful cellist that walks through my online and my studio door!”  <3 Morag \n\nThis workshop will be tailored to the participant’s level of achievement. Beginners to experienced are welcome. \nEach session will begin with warm-ups to unlock and balance the body\, free vibrations\, and provide ease\, accuracy and direction. Cellists will dive into technique\, studies and pieces. \nMorag offers a very rewarding and memorable approach to furthering your love of the cello. \nA teacher for 40 years\, Northey adheres to the technical demands of classical music while inspiring cellist of all ages and stages from rudimentary skills to successful entrance in the profession. She has trained in the Suzuki and Kodály methods\, taught at the Calgary Suzuki Talent Education Society\, consistently leads group and ensemble classes for early childhood\, teen and adult levels\, and creates and runs a series of unique\, multi-age\, multi-level\, all-encompassing intensive string summer cello camps from her home and with the Island Mountain Arts! \nAfternoon Special Interest Class\nEvery afternoon\, we’ll gather together for a special interest class\, led by one of our brilliant instructors (and some very special guests! ) Dates TBD!\nARRANGING WITH SHOSHANNA GODBER\nHave you ever given up learning a song because you couldn’t find an appropriate arrangement? In this workshop\, Shoshanna will give you the tools to make sure that never has to happen to you again regardless of your playing ability! She’ll share music theory essentials which makes creating your own arrangements easier to tackle\, ideas for left accompaniment\, and how to develop introductions and outros. \nTHE HARMONIC SERIES AS THE MASTER TEACHER WITH MORAG NORTHEY\nExplore one of the great universal laws in a Masterclass with Morag Northey. Connect\, recharge and refocus while discovering ways to advance your playing through harmonics\, energy flow and sound waves. \nMISTRESSCLASS WITH SHARLENE WALLACE\nLimited participants / unlimited auditors! \nPlay one of your pieces or compositions or an exercise for Sharlene and receive encouraging and helpful thoughts… or just bring a question! \n\n“The idea of a mistressclass (masterclass) is for a student to play a piece a scale or even to present a question… and I respond. Like in a private lesson. Everyone else is an auditor to listen to the suggestions in a relaxed way because they are not on the hot seat!” \n\nThis format is a way to have an opportunity to get feedback (from Sharlene) about pieces or exercises or compositions that you are working on… for musical ideas\, or ways to make something easier\, or just to check in to see if what you are doing is working… or whatever you want to ask Shar about!!! \nEvening Concerts\nMORAG NORTHEY\nAs part of IMA’s Virtual Harp & Cello School\, Morag with Pianist Mary Buckley\, will perform an evening of works from David Popper’s ‘Im Walde’ Suite’ Op. 50. The suite reflects what it means to enter\, encounter\, revere and return home from the forest. She will play the ‘Adagio with Variations’ by Ottorino Respighi and will present her ‘Homage for Mother Earth.’ \nSHOSHANNA GODBER\nSHARLENE WALLACE\nTRISTAN LE GOVIC

SUMMARY:Exhibit: Lineage
DESCRIPTION:As an artist\, my upbringing\, heritage and family history have long served as inspirations for my work. Over the years\, these founding motivations have compounded\, evolved\, mutated and combined to form new pathways\, leading to new ideas. “Lineage\,” not only traces my family history and how it has come to affect my work\, but it also pinpoints the origins of thoughts and motifs that have recurred in my work since childhood. It charts the development of an artist\, the creative process and the transformation of ideas from the first seeds of curiosity to tangible works of art. – Haley Bassett \nThe show comprises 50-plus works\, spanning several mediums including oil paintings\, charcoal\, watercolor\, ceramics\, natural materials\, photographs and ink drawings. It includes works from Bassett’s early childhood\, as well as found objects\, references\, books\, personal belongings\, studies and notebooks. \nThe composition of these varied objects in the space provide a peek behind the curtain\, as it were\, to the process of creativity and inspiration\, highlighting the unstructured and unsuspecting ways that ideas form and build off of each other. Lineage runs counter to the narrative that artists exist in vacuums of lone genius\, and that their work resides only in a product of a painting. It provides an open and candid access point to the beauty of process\, not only as it relates to ancestry\, but in the way we develop\, hold to and understand our narratives of personal truth.\nIsland Mountain Arts is incredibly grateful to be hosting Lineage through our Summer season\, beginning June 30th with a gallery opening from 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM. The gallery will be open Wednesday through Sunday until August 22nd. Indoor capacities will be in accordance with the guidelines from the PHO.

SUMMARY:Northern Exposure 2020
DESCRIPTION:NORTHERN EXPOSURE 2020\nOctober 22 – 25\, 2020 \nVirtual and in Wells and Barkerville\, BC \nThe Northern Exposure Conference draws together the music and arts industry from rural and urban British Columbia to share ideas and knowledge on the sector\, access professional development\, and foster growth and support networks. The conference includes a showcase of emerging and professional BC musicians to ensure more exposure\, promotion and support for BC talent. \nNorthern Exposure recognizes the unique opportunities and challenges faced by those who create\, produce or present music in rural settings and the conference aims to explore and address those opportunities and challenges. In rural BC distances are vast and those working in the music sector often face isolation and a lack of resources. Meeting face-to-face is a vital way to overcome this and build strength in the industry and more opportunities for working artists. \nNorthern Exposure’s dynamic and intimate model of information sharing creates a solid foundation for the development of a strong network amongst the arts professionals in attendance. Roundtable discussions\, B2Bs\, collaborative panels and open floor discussions allow for attendees to be heard and for solutions to be discovered with input from many sources.\nMore info and how to register coming soon…. \nTopic areas for this year’s conference: \nSustainability and Systems Change will be the overarching theme of Northern Exposure in 2020. \nMarketing and Digital Strategies

SUMMARY:Reading with George Elliott Clarke
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the IMA School for an artist talk with George Elliott Clarke\, by donation. \nThe tiny rural community of Weymouth Falls sits on the banks of the Sissiboo River in a far-flung southwestern corner of Nova Scotia. Best known as the birthplace of world-renowned boxing great Sam Langford\, the predominantly African Nova Scotian village also served as muse for Black Canadian writer George Elliott Clarke (born 1960)\, who channelled the spirit and vernacular of the community into the 1990 book-length poem\, Whylah Falls. \nThose who’d been paying attention four years earlier when Dr. Clarke was a master’s student in English at Dalhousie would have been given a glimpse into the genesis of the epic poem\, now regarded as a Canadian literary classic\, in the pages of the student newspaper. “Weymouth Falls\, founded in 1815 by Black Refugees\, is a village in Digby County\,” reads an introduction to a poem by Clarke in a December 1986 issue of the Dalhousie Gazette. “It is a snowy northern Mississippi\, with blood\, not on magnolias\, but on pines\, lilacs and wild roses. This homespun spiritual is one of its first songs.” \nDr. Clarke\, raised in Halifax\, had worked in Weymouth Falls and other rural communities like it as a social worker prior to returning to school at Dal in his mid-20s. (He had previously earned his BA at the University of Waterloo). He says the experience was an “incredible introduction to the beauty of African Nova Scotian . . . speech\, and the stories\, and the folklore\, and the songs” and instilled within him a desire to acknowledge the richness of the language in poetry. \nAt Dal\, Dr. Clarke began to develop the distinctive lyrical style that has come to characterize his body of work. Flip to the acknowledgements in any of his books and you’ll find the name John Fraser\, the Dal poetry professor Dr. Clarke credits for changing his academic career and making him a much better poet. \nDr. Clarke soon left Nova Scotia to do a PhD at Queen’s University and has worked as a professor at universities outside the province for much of his career\, including the University of Toronto and Duke University. While geographically removed from his home province\, his literary output has remained largely focussed on exploring the history and cultural geography of “Africadia” — a term he coined to refer to the often-marginalized communities in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick built by the descendants of Black Loyalists and African-American slaves. \nDr. Clarke has won praise for tackling issues such as racism\, oppression and change in his poetry\, and as Canada’s Parliamentary Poet Laureate (2016-17) and a member of the Orders of Canada and Nova Scotia — as well as a Dal honorary degree recipient — he gained a broader audience than ever. But even in the pages of the Gazette all those years ago\, you’ll find evidence that his would be a unique voice in the Canadian literary landscape\, chronicling untold stories of love and grief in verse.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening & Artist Talk with Sarah Zimmerman
DESCRIPTION:Island Mountain Arts is excited to announce an exhibition launch on Friday July 19th\, 2019 at 7 pm featuring the work of Sarah Zimmerman (affectionately known by many as Saz)\, titled “The Fish Project”. \nThe exhibition will remain on view through Sunday\, August 25th\, 2019. \nSarah has been painting her entire life. Born and raised in Edmonton\, Alberta\, the urban arena has long played an important role in her life. Since moving to Terrace\, BC in 2000\, the incredible bounty of the Northwest has become a constant source of inspiration for her. From rooster portraits to vibrant snails\, her pieces are fun\, vibrant acrylic messes that are also a nod to her surroundings. Her work is a whimsical exploration of her environment and sense of place. \n“For me creating art is a way of expressing myself\, exploring my surroundings and combining complex ideas in a visual medium\,” Sarah says. “Art brings people and ideas together in a way that no other exercise can.” \nShe drew inspiration for this exhibition from the salmon and oolichan and their importance to the people of Northwestern BC\, exploring the intersection of fish\, culture and art. Sarah began the project in the Spring of 2017. Creating each piece was a multi-faceted process that involved sourcing or catching the fish\, cleaning it\, preparing it for printing\, painting it and then pressing the prints onto thin paper. Then the prints were transferred to the wood panels using a gel transfer technique. Each painting on its own is a reflection of a small\, but critical piece of the ecosystem. \nThe fish project includes a series of multimedia pieces that incorporate the old Japanese art of fish printing with a more modern gel transfer technique to transfer the prints of regionally harvest oolichan and salmon to wooden canvases. \nThe show also speaks to the relationship of fish to people\, both settler and Indigenous. Sarah has collaborated on a multimedia installation piece which is a nod to the oolichan fishery and how regional Indigenous people traditionally processed this incredible fish. In collaboration with Gitxsan/Nisga’a cedar weaver\, Jaimie Davis\, this piece is a reflection of the one-time abundance of this Indigenous fishery and the fragility of its stocks today. \nSarah has also collaborated with Sto:lo artist Amanda Hugon on a series of oolichan block prints that speak to the social\, ceremonial\, food and healing qualities of oolichan in a series of pieces called liquid gold. \nSarah is excited to share this project with folks visiting the IMA Gallery and ArtsWells festivalgoers. She says\, “Wells is one of those amazingly unique places that keeps drawing me back year after year\, be it for art\, learning\, escape or music. Wells holds a special place in my heart and has been an integral part of my artistic journey\, and because of that I am super excited to be showing the fish project at the Wells Gallery. It’s exciting for me to share this project not only with the wonderful people of Wells but those incredible creative souls that make their way to Wells each summer\, especially during ArtsWells.”

SUMMARY:Writing Workshop with George Elliott Clarke
DESCRIPTION:George Elliott Clarke will lead writers in exercises to improve creativity and editing skills.  He will also ask volunteers to read back to the workshop their exercises and/or works-in-progress\, while feeling free to maintain privacy re: any raw work that seems too personal. Electronics are welcome\, of course\, but Clarke’s instruction will be by organic voice and hand-eye-coordinated pen/pencil/paper. Writers may wish to include the classic implements alongside keyboards and apps. Writers favouring any genre will benefit.
