(info@imarts.com).\nTHE ARTISTS\nMUSIC | BEN MATCHETT\nHailing from Northern BC\, Ben was heavily influenced by the folk and classic rock of his childhood. Ben has that magical balance of the bygone songwriting era; his lyrics are at once specific to his life\, and universal to the human experience. Ben draws inspiration from observation and is a natural storyteller\, captivating his audience with vulnerable ballads of love and loss – with a dash of uptempo guitar pickin’ and humour for good measure.\nwww.benmatchettmusic.com\nInstagram @benmatchettmusic\nFB @benmatchettmusic\n\nTHEATRE | BREAK A LEG BY BRIAN FIDLER*\n*The participation of this Artist is arranged by permission of Canadian Actors’ Equity Association under the provisions of the Dance•Opera•Theatre Policy.\nBreak a Leg is a collectively improvised tale inspired by Tramadol\, extra-strength Tylenol and the power of community. Created through the haze of a badly broken leg\, Fidler draws the audience into his experience through storytelling and games that speak to the better part of human nature and our innate desire to help each other in challenging circumstances.\nBrian Fidler- Performer/Creator\nFor over 20 years Brian has been making theatre\, creating outdoor multi-disciplinary events and directing shows in his hometown of Whitehorse\, Yukon (the Traditional Territory of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation and the Ta’an Kwäch’än Council). His cardboard science fiction puppet shows and original plays have been presented across the country and have toured to every community in the Yukon. Brian is the Creative Producer of Theatre in the Bush\, a site specific outdoor event set deep in the boreal forest. In the summer of 2024 Brian will return to Wells to create a customized version of Theatre in the Bush as part of the ArtsWells Festival.\nwww.ramshackletheatre.ca\nInstagram: @ramshackletheatre\n\nMUSIC | GENEVIEVE JAIDE\nGenevieve’s latest release\, “Why Am I Like This”\, was written as a coping mechanism to work through her personal mental health journey. The title track is a familiar story about social anxiety in which you wish you could promptly teleport *literally* anywhere from the situation that you are in – a pretty relatable feeling. The EP sifts through different memories and digs deep into the strange realities of one’s messy mind. The genre jumps around from alternative\, folk\, indie-pop\, to Canadiana\, but maintains Jaide’s lyrically driven\, terrifically vulnerable singer-songwriter vibe.\nGenevieve Jaide is a northern blooded songstress inspired by the environment\, nature\, and the alluring people she has met throughout the years. She carefully releases heavy emotions through lyrics and melodies\, and pairs these feelings with a groovy alternative vibe.\nHer folk alternative sound is accompanied by: Brock Patch\, Connor Pritchard\, Michael Lurincic and Calvin Hilde.\nGenevieve currently resides in Northern BC on Lheidli T’enneh Territory with her partner\, two orange cats\, and dog.\nhttps://www.genevievejaide.com\nInstagram: @genevievejaide\nFacebook @GenevieveJaide

She shows her process in real time through infusing it into her soulful “ancestral-roots and rhythm” musical sound and writing. Integrating her learning through creating.

A constant in every type of process and integrator of understanding in her creative process.\n\nMUSIC | ELISA THORN\n\nElisa Thorn is a harpist\, vocalist and composer living and working in Vancouver on the unceded territories of the Sḵwxw̱ ú7mesh\, Musqueam and Tsleil-Waututh Nations. Known for her distinct use of the instrument\, she performs in many contemporary contexts from pop to jazz to experimental. Her music is propelled by two artistic objectives: firstly\, how to create music that is both abstract and accessible; and secondly\, how harp can take the lead in ensembles in a way that does not compromise sensitivity with its boldness\, or generosity with its curiosity. Interested in the intersection between composed and improvised music\, she is involved with many projects including HUE\, The Giving Shapes\, and Gentle Party\, and works alongside many artists such as Mauvey\, Tonye Aganaba\, Loscil and Mother Mother. Her solo project combines elements of experimental folk and indie music that is informed by her classical technique and career as a contemporary musician. Finding genre labels sometimes lacking\, she jokingly calls it “minstrel-core.” She will be releasing the debut album of this project in summer 2024.\nwww.elisathorn.com\nwww.instagram.com/elisathorn\nThe Northern Exposure Conference is a partnership between Island Mountain Arts\, Arts BC and Rural Arts Inclusion Lab.
