Chan Centre presents 2019/20 Beyond Words Series

Chan Shun Concert Hall30 Oct '19 to 26 Mar '20 @ 7:30 PM - 11:00 PM

    The Chan Centre for the Performing Arts at the University of British Columbia (UBC) announces its 2019/20 series, featuring empowering narratives from marginalized communities, vibrant exaltations of multiculturalism, and breathtaking musicality in the Chan Shun Concert Hall. Just announced is the 2019/20 Beyond Words series, featuring four heartrending interdisciplinary performances that affirm the importance of diversity in storytelling.

    The 2019/20 Beyond Words series includes:

    HUFF
    Wednesday, October 30, 2019 at 12pm + 7:30pm
    This brutally honest, darkly comic one-man performance dives into the lives of three Indigenous siblings caught in a maelstrom of institutional prejudice and abuse. Performed by award-winning playwright Cliff Cardinal, the work centres on the aftermath of their mother’s death as the brothers navigate a world flanked by the mythical figure of the Trickster.

    TRADER TIME
    Wednesday, November 6, 2019 at 7:30pm
    Long-term collaborators Ivan Coyote and Sarah MacDougall present their latest multidisciplinary work, Trader Time. Made up of a series of interrelated vignettes based on a local Whitehorse buy-and-sell radio show, the performance blends together the sights and sounds of a haunting, hilarious, and familiar small town with big politics.

    BLACK LIKE ME: AN EXPLORATION OF THE WORD N-----
    Wednesday, November 20, 2019 at 7:30pm + Thursday, November 21, 2019 at 12pm
    Innovative dance artist and choreographer Jade Solomon Curtis uses African, jazz, tap, ballet, musical theatre, and club dance vocabularies to investigate the reverberations of a single word across the global landscape.

    RIDGE
    Thursday, March 26, 2020 at 7:30pm
    Award-winning writer, musician, and slam poet Brendan MacLeod confronts the misconceptions and misunderstandings of the now-famed Battle at Vimy Ridge, in which more than 10,000 Canadian casualties were recorded. This theatrical performance raises still-relevant and poignant questions about the reality of war and how and why we grieve.

    CHAN CENTRE CONNECTS SERIES
    The Chan Centre proudly complements their presentations with a thought-provoking outreach series, Chan Centre Connects. Through enlightening artist and expert talks, panel discussions, workshops, master classes, and film screenings, the series offers audiences a platform for more in-depth engagement with the season’s programming. The 2019/20 season will feature a continuation of the musical film series at The Cinematheque, as well as a borscht workshop with Ukrainian folk songs featuring the artists of DakhaBrakha, and much more.
