SUMMARY:Connection Dance Works: Still Buffering
DESCRIPTION:Connection Dance Works presents a new multidisciplinary work titled Still Buffering. The inspiration for Still Buffering came from the fascination of how current technologies condition and inform human relationships. The story follows a power struggle between humans and a technology that connects but also over-insulates the characters from a deeper intimacy.​This activity is supported by the New Brunswick Arts Board and the Canada Council for the Arts. Thank you to the Imperial Theatre Incubator Program and Theatre New Brunswick.

SUMMARY:Jeremy Dutcher
DESCRIPTION:Performer\, composer\, activist\, musicologist — these roles are all infused into his art and way of life. His music\, too\, transcends boundaries: unapologetically playful in its incorporation of classical influences\, full of reverence for the traditional songs of his home\,and teeming with the urgency of modern-day struggles of resistance. \nA member of Tobique First Nation in New Brunswick\, Jeremy first did music studies in Halifax before taking a chance to work in the archives at the Canadian Museum of History\, painstakingly transcribing Wolastoq songs from 1907 wax cylinders. “Many of the songs I’d never heard before\, because our musical tradition on the East Coast was suppressed by the Canadian Government’s Indian Act.” Jeremy heard ancestral voices singing forgotten songs and stories that had been taken from the Wolastoqiyik generations ago. \nAs he listened to each recording\, he felt his own musical impulses stirring from deep within. Long days at the archives turned into long nights at the piano\, feeling out melodies and phrases\, deep in dialogue with the voices of his ancestors. These “collaborative”compositions\, collected together on his debut LP Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa\, are like nothing you’ve ever heard. Delicate\, sublime vocal melodies ring out atop piano lines that cascade through a vibrant range of emotions. The anguish and joy of the past erupt fervently into the present through Jeremy’s bold approach to composition and raw\, affective performances enhanced by his outstanding tenor techniques. \n“I’m doing this work because there’s only about a hundred Wolastoqey speakers left\,” he says. “It’s crucial for us to make sure that we’re using our language and passing it on to the next generation. If you lose the language\, you’re not just losing words; you’re losing an entire way of seeing and experiencing the world from a distinctly indigenous perspective.”
