Dragon is an interdisciplinary meditation on the possibilities that lie beyond power. Bringing together three celebrated female artists from the fields of dance, theatre, and music, Dragon explores the complexities of adaptation, the beauty of maturity, and the richness of experience when the desire for domination is replaced with the openness of embrace. Ultimately, Dragon collapses 400 years of embodied discovery and surrender into an immersive hour, in a sensorial and sensuous attempt to imagine beyond human awareness.

Come witness the premiere of a new work by Jace Eagle Bear, and selections from the film, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.
To celebrate Asian Heritage Month this year, Gai Lan Ensemble presents a unique concert featuring a new composition by our own erhuist Jace Eagle Bear, and the music which inspired him, such as the soundtrack from “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”.
“Qing” 青, is the Chinese word for the colour between blue and green. “Qing Yin” 青音, means blue/green sound, or Cyan Tones, evoking the colour and timbre of the concert itself. As a performance blending Chinese and western instruments, it’s something that also exists in-between.
Joined by our friends Kensington Sinfonia, the concert will present works by living Canadian and Chinese composers including Jace Eagle Bear, Tse Taishun, and Li Bochan, as well as some beloved traditional tunes.
Artist Reception | Reimagined: Future Stories from Past Treasure
cSPACE Marda Loop
Level 2
May 16, 2026
2:00 PM – 4:30 PM
The exhibition presents an inspiring invitation for artists to explore the theme of reimagining contemporary jewellery through the lens of history and personal narratives. Titled “Reimagine – Future Stories from Past Treasures,” it encourages reflection on how once-beloved pieces can be transformed to convey new stories, bridging the past, present, and future.
Showcasing a diverse array of works that embody creativity, innovation, and expertise, the exhibition highlights artists engaging with their personal and familial legacies. Through themes such as memory, loss, uncertainty, optimism, connection, and caution, the featured pieces reflect the evolving landscape of ornamentation and underscore adornment as a vital form of expression.
The exhibition also features donated works created for the Alberta Craft Gallery’s “Bling Bucket,” a project in which artists were invited to reclaim broken, once-cherished jewellery and transform it into new works of art.
In addition, the exhibition includes striking creations produced by students from the Alberta University of the Arts’ jewellery program.
Visitors are invited to engage with the reimagining of jewellery’s future, celebrating the transformative power of art to connect people with their histories, their environment, and one another.
