Illusioned/ Disillusioned

A monologue on the nature of inspiration, “Illusioned/ Disillusioned” is meant to address the constant cycle of ups and downs in many of its analogies as they pervade our culture and private lives. With an attempt to look at the psyche of creative practices, Christian Quaresma voices the connections that tie the most sublime notions of art to the zen of doing laundry, among other things.

Christian Quaresma is a satellite of Toronto, where he reads and writes for his amusement.

Performer Profile: Mirian Kay

Mirian Kay

“I’m always looking to invite others into my story.”

Mirian Kay is a Syrian/Jordanian-Canadian singer-songwriter and guitarist. She loves to tip her hat to music as a community-building tool. Not only is music-making a collaborative effort, but singing at its most elemental—words and melodies—is a means of joining people, experiences and journeys. Everyone has stories to share, Mirian notes, and artistic expression makes communication that much more pleasurable. Mirian Kay fuses genres such as Jazz, Pop, R&B, Folk, Electronic, Reggae and World music together to form her unique sound.

“I am never afraid of making mistakes and falling flat on my face, because that’s how the learning begins and when the magic happens.”

“Mirian Kay’s genre, her voice and talent alone makes her a real treat to watch.” -Live In Limbo 

“It was surprising to see how easily Kay moved around the stage, while strumming her acoustic. And when she put it down, you couldn’t look away from her dancing on stage.”      -The Scene Magazine

FORM AND FIXATION ii

Form and Fixation

by Form Contemporary Dance Theatre

Form and Fixation features two extraordinary works in one show: Reverie, which explores automatism and the natural meanderings of the mind and Blue(dot)Political, a politically charged work commenting on the roles of leader, follower and individual. Form and Fixation will inspire you to reflect upon our complex realities as individuals within society.

FCDT is based the Hamilton/Burlington area. FCDT intends to create art that is inviting for audiences, art that combines extremes in its emotional content and art that is informed by human experiences. We aim to create works of art that have a raw and vulnerable essence.
