SUMMARY:The Gift
DESCRIPTION:“My name is John Aitken; I did not speak until I was eighteen” \nTruth and healing in Canada’s First Nations are vast and vital topics explored through a highly personal lens in Coast Salish artist John Aitken’s “the Gift”. \n“I am the product of childhood trauma and abuse. I survived by being as invisible as I could and not speaking until I was eighteen years old. I struggled throughout my childhood as a “dirty little indian” in a rural white community”\, says the Mayne Island artist. \nJohn Aitken tells his story of survival\, personal resilience and reconciliation as he lived his childhood\, nonverbally\, through the performance of “the Gift”\, utilizing dance/movement\, physical acting\, vocalization\, drumming and singing. Sharing the stage with Aitken is acclaimed actor/director and filmmaker\, Shelley MacDonald of North Vancouver. \nJohn Aitken and award winning animation filmmaker\, Gail Noonan\, developed this performance art piece over three years on Mayne Island. Aitken and MacDonald weave the story using a series of dream-like events drawing on First Nations and European Iconography and archetypes. The story takes the audience through the emotions of love and tenderness to fear\, terror and loss\, then finally to hope\, joy and celebration which culminates in John receiving “the Gift” of his voice. \nAitken and MacDonald are part of a national movement of First Nations actors\, musicians\, artists and film-makers utilizing the arts to move through the trauma and history of systemic racism and abuse into healing and creating a pathway towards reconciliation. \nAn artist\, activist\, dancer\, actor\, filmmaker\, educator and storyteller\, Aitken uses many mediums to advance the opportunity for intercultural dialogue. All performances of “the Gift” conclude with a talking circle\, where audience members are invited to stay and participate in the safe\, structured environment to share their observations and discuss the emotions raised during the performance.

SUMMARY:Woody Sed
DESCRIPTION:Written and performed by Tom Jones\nDirected by John Murphy \nWoody Sed is a “powerful piece delivered by a powerhouse talent” (Uptown Magazine) about the life and times of Woody Guthrie\, and the songs he sang about them. Woody said: “All you can write is what you see.” \nWell\, Woody Guthrie saw it and wrote about it–from the dust bowl of Oklahoma to the orange groves of California\, to the towers of New York City; from Hobo Jungles to Union rallies and the Merchant Marine. Both a biography of a seminal American musician and an epic drama of Greek proportions\, Woody Sed charts Guthrie’s rise to fame and his struggle to escape a harsh fate that dogged his footsteps to the end. \nFeaturing Woody’s songs\, the story offers a cascade of colorful characters\, all bundled up in a true to life tale. Woody was a provocative writer; his words ring as true today as they did in his own troubled times. Woody wrote and sang his truth and his songs still inspire us to join in and carry on. \n>>Woody Sed is pure magnificence.<< 5 stars – Tom Eremondi\, Saskatoon Star Phoenix

DESCRIPTION:Written and performed by Tom Jones\nDirected by John Murphy \nWoody Sed is a “powerful piece delivered by a powerhouse talent” (Uptown Magazine) about the life and times of Woody Guthrie\, and the songs he sang about them. Woody said: “All you can write is what you see.” \nWell\, Woody Guthrie saw it and wrote about it–from the dust bowl of Oklahoma to the orange groves of California\, to the towers of New York City; from Hobo Jungles to Union rallies and the Merchant Marine. Both a biography of a seminal American musician and an epic drama of Greek proportions\, Woody Sed charts Guthrie’s rise to fame and his struggle to escape a harsh fate that dogged his footsteps to the end. \nFeaturing Woody’s songs\, the story offers a cascade of colorful characters\, all bundled up in a true to life tale. Woody was a provocative writer; his words ring as true today as they did in his own troubled times. Woody wrote and sang his truth and his songs still inspire us to join in and carry on. \n>>Woody Sed is pure magnificence.<< 5 stars – Tom Eremondi\, Saskatoon Star Phoenix
