Innovative Toronto artist Evalyn Parry takes her audience on unique theatrical and musical journey in her tour-de-force performance celebrating the Bicycle. Inspired by the first woman to ride around the world on a bicycle in 1894, Parry weaves a web of stories that deftly travel from 19th century women’s emancipation to 21st century consumer culture, from the political to the personal.

A performance that undresses the gaze: three ex-strippers reflect upon their experiences, as a methodical moderator interrogates them. A clever and quirky deconstruction of the prejudices associated with erotic dancing, a most marginal practice in the field of performing arts.

With M. E. Winks. Hockey with Edgy rules! Why not tweak a few rules, invent some new ones and have a bit of fun playing with and poking fun at our national game?!
What original hockey rule, ritual, skill or thrill would you add or incorporate? Why? Let the game begin!
- As soon as you score a goal, you have to switch teams
- Why just have 1 puck, when you can have 3?
- The final shoot out incorporates every player on the team
- If you trip someone you have to sing them an apology and give them a hug
Please RSVP to play (@ mhewings@videotron.ca), but anyone can show up and watch the game for FREE
Mandatory hockey helmet (full mask), skates & stick.
March 29th, 11 p. m.
