Alvin Tolentino's "BODYGlass" getting interesting and rave reviews

Alvin Tolentino is one of Vancouver's (and Canada's) most interesting and exciting dance choreographers. I've known Alvin for a number of years... ever since he first walked into the Vancouver Public Library computer lab to do some word processing, when he first started up his company. Wow! years ago.
His new performance "BODYGlass" has been getting good press. It is playing at Centre A, International Centre for Contemporary Asian Art, as part of the Dancing on the Edge Festival. more »

Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas "Haida Manga Guy" opens show at Museum of Anthropology

Todd

I first met Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas when I introduced him at the Word On the Street Festival a few years ago at Library Square. He was reading from his Haida Manga book. and I held the book up and turned the pages so the audience could see the incredible drawings. Michael was touched by this gesture, and warmly signed my copy of his book.
This new show features installations at the Museum of Anthropology. Michael has collected argillite dust from all his fellow carvers and used it to create an "argillite paint" which was used to cover a Pontiac Firefly car (“Pedal to the Meddle”), upon which more uniquely Yahgulanaas artwork was painted. It sounds inspirationally crazy - just like Michael. more »
