SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Eve Johnson | The World is a Woman\, The Woman is a Worker
DESCRIPTION:Reception: November 2nd from 6:00 to 8:00pm\nExhibition runs until November 6th\n4th Floor Cupola & Suite #435\, cSPACE Marda Loop \nYou are invited to join the Calgary Allied Arts Foundation’s studio resident\, Eve Johnson\, for the opening of her exhibition The World is a Woman\, The Woman is a Worker. This exhibition is the result of her residency in the CAAF studio—a mixed media project of fibre sculpture\, and multiple “thread paintings”. These pieces explore the relationship between the earth\, women\, and capitalism. \nEve Johnson is a visual artist living and working in Calgary. Born with disabilities\, she has been creating since the age of three. While taking college level art courses at the age of sixteen\, Eve realised that the art establishment was not a good fit for her. She soon found herself ousted from this setting and began creating independently. Over ten years\, she created simply for herself and received the label of “outsider artist”. Despite this\, Eve joined the National accessArts Centre in late spring of 2021. Since joining this institution\, Eve has had her work shown locally and internationally—as far away as Seoul\, South Korea.

Puppet Theatre Society. It explores the theory and practice of how puppet power promotes and impacts positive social change. \nIn 2023 we ask\, how can puppets\, ‘metaphors of matter’\, help us address our material world? The friendly two day hybrid event features performances\, hands-on workshops\, panels and talks that will look at the interplay between the ‘ephemeral essence’ and ‘literal presence’ unique to puppet theatre. What can ice puppets\, brick puppets\, plastic puppets or even puppets from adult diapers offer in the “Story of Stuff”? \nInternational and local presenters inspire through in person and online streamed sessions. Informed by puppets\, we will create a call to action on the disparity of “too much stuff” versus “poverty of resources”. \nPast participants include educators\, therapists\, helping professionals\, artists\, students\, thought leaders and idea generators. They say “There is a lasting value\, I loved connecting with other artists and the information is relevant and usable in my work. I can’t wait to use my puppet power!” \nJoin us for the 12th iteration of our Festival of Ideas! \nDate: Friday\, November 24th and Saturday\, November 25th\, 2023 \nTime: Various – due to the live online offerings of the festival.

SUMMARY:Riku Laakkonen:"Evolution from a Diaper to Puppet" (In person or Online)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an interesting talk with Riku Laakkonen\, a pioneer in the development of communal methods of puppet and object theatre.\n\n\nRiku Laakkonen: “Evolution from a Diaper to Puppet” \nZooming in from Finland\, Riku shares his work with the elderly in his talk “Evolution from a Diaper to Puppet”\, work that aims to de-stigmatize this object of care. This is a clear example of the power of Applied Puppetry*.  \nFollowing the talk will be a Q&A. \nRiku writes: “In my research I explore collaboration with material objects and elderly people who have memory disorders. In different artistic experiments I asked “what object is used daily by all those who live and work in nursing home? I determined it was the adult brief or diaper.  Material objects are an essential part of interaction between humans and their environment. We employ objects in different contexts and use them all the time. When the adult brief\, the object of care\, was relocated into an artistic context it became a protagonist. Nurses and elderly persons were invited to see not just a disposable object\, but a puppet\, a voice and a conduit for expression.” \nRiku Laakkonen is a puppeteer\, director\, actor\, and teacher. After studying at DAMU (Theatre Academy of Music and Art) in Prague\, Metropolia University of Applied Sciences\, and Turku University of Applied Sciences he has been working with both professionals and amateurs. He is one of the founding members of the Centre of Stage Animation Research (founded 2007). He started his artistic doctoral studies at the Tampere University’s Center for Research Theatre Work in August 2020. His thesis “Object expression and social death: Animation with Kanssa building the weak agency of the elderly” is part of the wider Kone foundation-financed Social Death at the Threshold research project.  \nThis session will be of particular interest to social workers and therapists\, working with the elderly. However\, the information will be transferable to many settings and concerns. For ages 18+ \nDate: Saturday\, November 25 2023 \nTime: 11:00 HRS MST  \nLocation: cSPACE (1721 29 Avenue Southwest\, Calgary\, AB T2T 6T7) or online Zoom link. cSPACE offers free parking\, cycling racks\, convenient access to public transit\, and is located along bus routes 6\, 7\, 107\, 13. The theatre is an accessible space\, enter from parking lot on the north side of the building. \nAccessibility: We are committed to the purposeful inclusion of all people. We strive to reduce barriers and we value everyone’s participation in our programs.

Puppet Theatre Society. It explores the theory and practice of how puppet power promotes and impacts positive social change. In 2023 we ask\, how can puppets\, ‘metaphors of matter’\, help us address our material world?  \n*Applied Puppetry\, a term coined by Matt Smith FHEA\, University of Portsmouth\, is the field of ‘puppetry beyond performance’. Puppetry that is used as a communication and expressive tool in settings such as education\, therapeutic interventions\, social action\, institutions and other social settings.

SUMMARY:We Are The Shakespeares Of Our Own Lives (In person or Online)
DESCRIPTION:Join Tea as she discusses the stories hidden within objects.\n\n\nImagine a day in your life when you need to suddenly leave your home forever and you can only pack one suitcase.

With these objects we can recreate the feeling of home wherever we go. \nZooming in from Slovania\, Tea Kovše will share her research of personal objects in an eldery home\, because the elderly have very strong experiences of losing and recreating their home. She also works with young people\, as we all carry precious moments inside us and these are locked in particular objects. \nIn individual meetings and workshops she works with a variety of people to find the way of telling these stories through story telling\, music and puppetry. \nJoin her research method and share her vision to create puppetry by any means and remember to bring your precious object! \nDate: Saturday\, November 25th  \nTime: 13:00 HRS (MST)  \nWe are using a 24 hour clock.

SUMMARY:Unveiling Post-Consumer Paper's Potential with Puppets (In Person)
DESCRIPTION:In this hands-on workshop for Reggio-inspired educators\, participants will discover the storytelling potential of post-consumer papers.\n\n\nGuided by artist and educator Jennifer Stables\, participants will delve into the art of crafting handheld mask puppets and exploring their use in the classroom. Participants will be invited to engage with a variety of post-consumer papers (magazines\, newspapers\, tissue paper\, gift wrap\, office paper\, old books\, paper bags\, etc.) by folding\, bending\, cutting\, and crumpling them. They will be encouraged to play and explore using their sense of sight\, sound\, smell\, and touch. They will be asked to reflect on the story of the paper. Where did it come from? Who has it been? This exploration will allow educators to gain a deeper understanding of the materials and explore their potential for creative expression. \nFollowing this exploration\, participants will have the opportunity to share their findings and insights with one another. This conversation will hopefully foster a sense of community and inspire new ideas and approaches to working with papers. \nBuilding upon their discoveries\, participants will then be guided to create their own handheld mask puppets. Rather than following a step-by-step process\, participants will be encouraged to apply their discoveries and insights to their own unique creations. They will be invited to use techniques such as layering\, crumpling\, and folding the paper to create different forms. \nTo finish the mask puppet\, a wooden dowel will be attached to the back to create a handle. Participants will be encouraged to explore moving and performing their mask puppets. There will be time for presentation\, sharing\, and reflection at the end of the class. \nJoin Jennifer on Saturday\, November 25th\, from 13:00 – 15:30 HRS (MST) for this engaging workshop. \nBio: Jennifer Stables is an experienced Artist and Art Educator with a background in Reggio-Inspired teaching and learning. Her whimsical artwork includes puppets\, paintings\, sculptures\, and illustrations. She has created community art programs\, worked as an art educator and classroom teacher\, and currently works as an Artist in Residence for schools in Calgary and surrounding areas.
