SUMMARY:LARRY
DESCRIPTION:Since we first heard about this award-winning hit show\, we’ve been keen to bring Canadian Clown Artist Candy Roberts to the Sunset stage: she’s fucking brilliant\, and we are lucky to have her. \n(Yes\, we used the F-word\, because this show is for adults.) \nRoberts assumes her alter ego\, LARRY\, in this daring and comedic piece about one dude’s hilarious attempt at self improvement. With rock and roll\, a little “life-couching”\, and a dip into his own psyche\, LARRY uncovers a little more than anyone expected. \nCulled lovingly from the male archetypes that surrounded her during her upbringing\, LARRY helps Candy compassionately examine the limitations of the gender binary\, aging as a woman in society\, and the complexities of being human. \nThis show is for anyone who is\, or knows a woman. Gear-down Big-Rig\, you just might bust a gut and shed a tear! \n(This show is adult-oriented\, recommended ages +18)

He contributed to 8 creations for the company\, showcasing his innovative approach. Recently\, he founded “A Fichu Turning\,” exploring the intersection of poetry and movement. As a hard of hearing artist\, hearing differently has become a driving force of his artistry and originality as a mover\, interpreter and choreographer.\nhttps://www.methoddance.ca/\nhttps://www.instagram.com/methoddancesociety/\nMUSIC + STORY | AMANDA WOOD\n\nAmanda Wood is Anishinaabekwe from Ginoogaming\, under James Bay Treaty 9\, and Nlaka’pamux from North Bend\, BC. Born and raised in northern BC\, she is a guest on the Dakelh lands of Lheidli Te’nneh (Prince George\, BC) A multi-disciplinary performance artist and graduating second year En’owkin NIPAT student. Amanda is a singer /songwriter playing the traditional hand drum and guitar. She incorporates her ancestral language of Anishnaabemowin-Eastern dialect learning from her mentor & Grandmother Hazel Charles alongside study groups online. 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. Music has always remained the creative conduit in every chosen medium. 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. It is supported by the Department of Canadian Heritage\, The BC Arts Council and the Vancouver Foundation.
