    Roger Sinha - Dance

    by ELAN Headquarters

    Uploaded

    If dancers interpret the circumstances of their lives into movement, then Roger Sinha brings a range of cultures with him to the stage every time he performs. Born in London to an Armenian mother and Indian father, Sinha arrived in Saskatchewan at the age of eight. From there, he moved to Toronto in his early twenties, where an economics degree fell by the wayside when he discovered dance classes. For Sinha, dance provided a means to reconnect with…

    Ian Ferrier - Writing

    by ELAN Headquarters

    Uploaded

    Blending elements of poetry, song, and spoken word, Ian Ferrier’s one-of-a-kind performance art delivers a medley of literariness and popular culture. Musically rooted in blues-driven inquiries into love, sex, and death, and poetically rooted in the cosmology of the Beats, Ferrier is also a founder of the spoken word label Wired on Words.

The vision behind ELAN’s Recognizing Artists: Enfin Visibles ! project was simple: Artists need to be part of a community, and communities need artists. Quebec is not simple. It is a complex mix of linguistic, geographic and cultural communities. Most of Quebec’s “English-speaking” artists are bilingual, trilingual or multilingual. Many were born in Quebec where their families have lived for generations, while others immigrated here as children or were drawn as adults for a wide variety of reasons. RAEV reveals a surprising diversity of stories.

PROFILES
Peers and fans proposed more than 1,700 artists for ELAN's RAEV project. The 154 artists selected for this “group portrait” represent multiple artistic disciplines, regions and career stages: from internationally renowned icons to emerging artists creating a buzz in the local scene. These short bios are a snapshot of a much larger artistic community.*

VIDEOS
The videoclips show 24 artists at work and ask questions about what it means to be part of a minority community that is also connected to an international linguistic majority. Being a minority/majority within a majority/minority creates unpredictable identities.

HISTORIES
These essays place the current artistic renaissance in a historical context, outlining major characters, events and previously undocumented stories. The interactive format invites readers to enrich the content by adding their own anecdotes and personal memories.

MAP
Culturealacarte.ca is an online map that helps you find shows, venues and artists in your neighbourhood and across the province.
