1:00 pm: Good Vibrations Workshop1:00 pm: Good Vibrations Workshop – How often do you rely on your voice to communicate your ideas, express who you are, connect with others? The human voice is more significant and more miraculous than we know. In Good Vibrations you will begin to understand how the voice works, recognise your own vocal potential, relax and open your breathing, feel the joy of sound vibrations and even speak a little Shakespeare (you can do it!). This workshop is for all levels but will focus on the fundamentals of breath, resonance, speech and freeing your unique voice. And, we’ll have fun! This weekly workshop will run Wednesdays from 1-2pm, starting May 19th until June 16th. This class is currently full; please call BALANCE for information on additional dates. zoom |

Whiston and Katie Yealland, and creative enabler & audio describer Becky Gold and website designer Wy Joung Kou.A Theatre Passe Muraille and Red Dress Productions Co-Production with the support of Common Boots Theatre. Online and by mail access to "May I take your arm?" is free. Listen to the audio flyer for "May I take your arm?" at the following link: https://soundcloud.com/user-171262644-350053924/mitya-audio-flyer. Blind artist Alex Bulmer takes the arm of people in her new neighbourhood. Together, they walk, listen, and share life stories — an architecture of place emerges. Experience their journeys through these multi-sensory moving-portraits that consider the past, illuminate the present, and evoke possible futures. Originally created in 2018 as a live, interactive, performance installation, this iteration of "May I Take your arm?" has been re-imagined into a 7-part multidisciplinary follow-at-home experience. A purpose built website will act as a navigation map for audiences to experience the work in their own homes, in their own time and pace. BALANCE will co-host this event on June 22 at 7 PM: Join us to stream new "May I take your arm?" audio elements followed by a talk around with the artists at 8 PM. The Listening Stage streaming events are free, however, pre-registration is required. Click here to register for the event or please contact BALANCE at (416) 236-1796. zoom |
