LIFE of PAPER - Origami storytelling raised to a new level
by
Todd
on Sat 24 May 2008 11:16 AM PDT
Imagine if giant origami creations were made by Joseph Wu - internationally renowned Origrami master!
Imagine if the music was created live on stage by the wonderful Orchid ensemble!
Come down to the Roundhouse theatre for an exciting and amazing show about the history of paper and paperfolding. Created by Pangaea Arts - "an intercultural, interdisciplinary world arts organization based in Vancouver. Pangaea Arts was formed to promote cultural interaction and the exchange of ideas between diverse communities and to introduce Canadian audiences to performance traditions from around the world."
This theatrical event blends together many different forms of theatre and storytelling. It opens with a monologue on origami paperfolding - about paper and a square, and how everything begins from the square. more »

by
Todd
on Fri 09 May 2008 11:58 PM PDT
The Vancouver Sun featured a April 16th story about the Chung Collection $5 million, 25,000 items and UBC = a collection with special meaning by Kevin Griffin.
http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/news/story.html?id=40d15d80-bc3f-4d79-b040-285019e20c9c
This is significant because Dr. Wallace Chung has always held a life-long interest in the history of Chinese Canadians. He accumulated and donated his 25,000 item collection donation to the University of British Columbia. The feature piece is a beautiful large scale model ship, the Empress of Asia, which Dr. Chung spent many years reconstructing. more »
