Awakening! An Urban Musical Story

2010-06-13T19:29:00.001-04:00

AWAKENING!
An Urban Musical story of a Dancer
Artistic Direction by Tamla Matthews and Lennox Glasgow

Toronto - ON, After 15 years of staging Afro-Caribbean dance productions, Tamla Matthews shows us her heart. And who better to tell her own story, than the woman herself. Producing and starring in her true life story of shame, regret and triumph, The Caribbean Dance Theatre presents Tamla Matthews in, Awakening: An Urban Musical Story of a Dancer. Thursday June 17th - 18th 2010.

ABOUT THE STORY:

Awakening opens with Tamla’s fondest childhood memory, dancing in the living room with her six siblings for an audience of one. “My mother would just love to see us all dancing together, nothing made her happier.” But when Tamla starts to take her African dance classes seriously, she quickly learns there’s a price to pay. “I can remember when I was ten years old, coming to school with my African dance outfit. That long multi patterned billowy skirt, with the equally colourful head wrap. At a time when hip hop was gaining global hype, what I was doing just was not cool. I got laughed at. For a long time, I was ashamed of it. ”

The audience will dance with Tamla as she explores ballet and modern forms searching for her identity as a dancer. “I never could feel the soul from other forms that I felt from African dance. And it was a struggle to stay committed because I never saw myself reflected anywhere. The only black dancers I saw were in FAME and in music videos.”

Tamla has to make a tough choice when a life altering opportunity comes knocking. She must decide whether to give up on her tradition in exchange for fame or to give back to the art form that has given her so much.

ABOUT THE SHOW:

Awakening brings back traditional African dance form and fuses it with modern Caribbean dance technique. Live musical and spoken word accompaniment intricately reveals a world of diverse dance styles from gospel to reggae. The dancers range in age from 3 to 35, with black women of all different shapes and shades. Their common thread is a deep pride for their art form rooted in Afro-Caribbean heritage. Something Tamla says is her mission in life. “The importance of it is really reflected in my 3 year old daughter. After one performance, she stood holding my hand still dressed in her long colourful skirt and tiny head wrap. Other little girls came over and were gushing, saying, “You look so pretty, just like a princess.” That was emotional for me, because I remember how I used to be ashamed of my dance clothes, and how I longed to be a princess. But she can stand there and be admired and be proud. And maybe now, finally, a little black girl can be a princess too.”

ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Tamla Matthews has been an active member of the Toronto dance community for over 22 years. An accomplished Artistic Director, Choreographer and dance artist of local and international acclaim, Tamla is a certified fitness instructor and creator of Reggaerobics. She is a mainstay judge at the annual York Region District School Board Dance competition and the Director of Caribbean Dance Theatre. She will be playing herself in this production, and her 3 year old daughter Egypt will be playing “young Tamla”.

Lennox Glasgow is a dancer and dance instructor from Trinidad and Tobago. A well versed educator, Lennox was the Artistic Director of the Prime Minister’s Best Village Trophy competition in Trinidad for 12 years. He has been summoned to places like Japan, Germany and Africa to perform. Calypso enthusiasts may recognize Lennox as the famous Calypsonian Hit Man who performed in the Trinidad calypso circuit in the 1990s.

ABOUT THE COMPANY:
This production marks the 15th anniversary of the Caribbean Dance Theatre (CDT). Specializing in Contemporary Caribbean based dance styles that celebrate the Caribbean contribution to the Canadian cultural mosaic; Caribbean Dance Theatre’s signature style honours the cultural root, celebrates the present and inspires possibilities for the future of dance in Canada.

The Colour of Beauty- National Film Board Documentary

2010-06-13T19:21:00.001-04:00

June 8, 2010

This week the National Film Board of Canada launched "The Colour of Beauty", a provocative short documentary that examines racism and lack of diversity in the fashion industry through the eyes of a young, ambitious Black model living in New York city.

Renee Thompson has got the looks, the walk and the drive. But she’s a Black model in a world where White women represent the standard of beauty. In interviews with industry insiders we hear that agencies seldom hire Black models, and when they do, they want them to look "like White girls dipped in chocolate."

Is a Black Model less attractive to designers, casting directors and consumers? What is the colour of beauty? Canadian fashion icons like Jeanne Beker, host of CTV's Fashion Television and Lisa Tant, Editor-In-Chief of Flare Magazine offer their insights.

Since its online launch this week, “The Colour of Beauty” has gone “viral” on the internet and sparked heated debate on influential sites like Jezebel.com. The documentary has also been featured on CTV News Channel, Canada AM, Fashion Television, cbc.ca, CBC French radio, Le Téléjournal Montreal and La Presse.

You can watch the film here - I hope you enjoy it. http://nfb.ca/film/colour_of_beauty

For media interviews with Renee or myself, please feel free to contact me at 416-528-3807 or laruba2@yahoo.com

Hope to speak with you soon.

All the best,
Elizabeth St. Philip
Director - The Colour of Beauty

Making the Invisible Visible Educational Conference

The Sickle Cell Association of Ontario and the Black Health Alliance will host Making the Invisible Visible, Shining a Spotlight on Sickle Cell Disease, which celebrates almost 30 years of sickle cell education and the United Nations 2008 declaration of the disease as a public health problem. Individuals and families affected by the disease and anyone interested can attend. The symposium will also be very helpful for health care professionals.

Presentations will cover a range of critical subjects such as multidisciplinary treatment and health promotion for the disease. The meeting will address cultural stereotypes and barriers to treatment for what the United Nations describes as one of the world’s foremost genetic diseases. Internationally recognized speakers including UK based Dr. Simon Dyson who specializes in the diseases social aspects; Dr. Pranesh Chakraborty who heads theOntario Newborn Screening Program at Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario and SickKids International’s Dr. Alvin Zipursky, who earlier this year organized an international symposium in Cotonou, Benin to discuss topics including priorities in Sickle Cell Disease research and the potential for a global Sickle Cell Disease network, will attend. The program of speakers and topics for the conference is available at www.sicklecellontario.com.

Education about the inherited blood disorder is important because Toronto is one of the world's most diverse and multicultural populations. Predominantly affecting people of African, South Asian, Mediterranean and South American heritage, the disease is evident in populations from Portugal, Spain, France, mainland Italy, Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily, Cyprus, Greece, Turkey, the Middle East including Lebanon, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Yemen, as well as India and Sri Lanka. Based on Toronto’s population, it is a microcosm of the life-threatening condition characterized by severe, unpredictable pain episodes and complications that can limit daily activities and cause disability.

The conference takes place Friday, November 20, 5 – 9 p.m. and Saturday, November 21, 8 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., at the Scarborough Civic Centre, 150 Borough Drive (McCowan & Ellesmere).

Award-winning GTA children’s choir kicks off new concert season withLimitless

Fresh from celebrating its first national music award, again proving the value of hard work and dedication the Toronto Children’s Concert Choir is launching its new performance season with Limitless on Saturday, November 28, 2009 at 6:30 p.m. The 55 member group, kids ranging in age from seven to 18 represent the Greater Toronto Area. This joyous evening of song and dance will also showcase the Afro-Latin rhythms of guest artist Lady Son. The Toronto concert will be held at Knox Presbyterian Church, 630 Spadina Avenue.

Last month in Calgary, the Gospel Music Association of Canada named the choir's Show Me The Way, from its 2008 debut album Our Message, Children’s Song of the Year. TC3, as it's familiarly known, was also nominated for Children’s Album Of The Year and Choir Song Of The Year. For a first recording, that recognition speaks volumes about TC3’s calibre, says the choir's Executive Artistic Director, the Reverend Denise Gillard. “Hopefully this national recognition will retire our Toronto’s best-kept-secret music label.” Seventeen-year- old TC3 member Andre McIntosh says, “To see such a simple song go so far makes winning a really big honour. We’ve sung Show Me The Way many times in different moods and settings but this win makes it even more inspiring.”

TC3 depends on concerts and record sales to fund the majority of its programming. “We have the vision, we have the talent,” says Rev. Gillard. “What we need are the resources to sustain and develop the program to reach even more urban youth so we can help broaden their abilities and choices. This concert provides an opportunity for the community to show its support for these ambitious young people.”

For tickets
Limitless concert tickets are $7 to $12. To order, call 416-751-9970 or email info@tc3.ca. A limited number will be available at the door.

“ You really want to know what a Black man is thinking? Well the secret is out!”

Secrets of a Black Boy, the male response to ‘da Kink in my hair gives a thought-provoking look into the lives of black men. Secrets Of a Black Boy, executive produced by trey anthony from ‘da Kink in my Hair, and written by Darren Anthony. Is a theatrical production that takes place in modern day Toronto Ontario. It is a current and very urgent story outlining the displacement of families in Regent Park. Five friends gather inside a community centre about to be torn down, to say their goodbye one last time to the place they all called home for so long. The friends reminisce about what the community center means to them and the play becomes a much more urgent commentary about both the disintegration of Regent Park and the lives of the young men most affected by it.

Secrets Of a Black Boy is a gritty, uncensored look at the lives of black men. No subject is taboo from interracial dating, commitment phobia, gun violence, sexuality, and love. Every stereotype of black men will be critically examined and explored, subsequently, giving audiences a fresh, new and authentic experience!
