Fringe Video: Mothership Down
Instead of “Take me to your leader,” Marty Chan has crafted a play that’s more “We are your leaders.”
Yes, it’s aliens and politics: together at the Fringe! (more…)
Dzanc Day
There wasn't enough room for me to accurately plot Edmonton on this map image.
First off, no, I’m not sure how to pronounce Dzanc. But we’re going to live in the world of print right now and not worry about how to pronounce things. (If you know, please let me know.)
“Dzanc” is a publisher of short stories and fiction, and a monthly journal.
They also hold an annual day of creative writing workshops across America.
Why the heck would I be talking about them?
That’s a good question.
Well, Edmonton’s Jason Norman just made Dzanc Day continent-wide. (more…)
Take it to the street (or Churchill Square)
It seems I keep trying to mention the Edmonton International Street Performers Festival, and it keeps clouding over or raining.
So, screw it, I’m going to talk about this festival and the rain can shut-up. (In the case of weather, and summer storms, you can follow the festival’s Twitter account for updated changes and schedule alterations.)
This is the festival where the world’s best buskers take over Churchill Square and show off many more talents than I have.
There are musicians (I can’t sing), jugglers (I can do three items, but nothing on fire), hooping, comedy (I think I’m hilarious), circus stuff, dance (not this guy), clowns, kids performers, and more! Don’t forget to pay the performers after their show.
They’re also doing Late Night Madness, Friday and Saturday, at the Stanley A. Milner Library. (Pretty sure this is for a more mature audience.)
The festival runs through this weekend.
