SUMMARY:Johnny Cole - Meet me at The Rex in Hay River
DESCRIPTION:Celebration of Metis Roots\n\n\n\nFor fifty years\, Norman Glowach has been playing music in Yellowknife. He started playing the drums\, but he also sings and plays guitar. Growing up in Yellowknife\, Norm has been fortunate to play many styles of music. At an early age\, he played in school bands and stage bands. Professionally\, he’s played old time music\, fiddle music\, country music\, rock & roll\, jazz and blues. These musical experiences all come out in the music he writes and records. He has run his studio\, Spiritwalker Productions\, for over 30 years in downtown Yellowknife. Norm credits the driving force behind his persona Johnny Cole and the musical Meet Me at the Rex to be the pictures and stories of his family’s history. Norman started Meet Me at the Rex eleven years ago when he began searching for ancestors on his mother’s side. At that time\, he was working at the NWT Archives. This gave him an understanding of how to access data from the various levels of archives in Canada. As information and images came forward about his ancestors\, songs started to come to him. At that point\, he didn’t have the idea of creating a production containing these songs – he was just trying to understand his roots. He began to understand his ancestors’ role in the development of Canada.  \n\n\n\nIn his search\, Norm was able to find French and Irish roots in the Red River Colony who mixed with Indigenous peoples\, creating the Métis who populated Western Canada. As the show was coming together\, long-time friends came forward to give him direction. One friend told him the roots he was writing about had a common theme: a story that was similar to that of many other Métis in our country. This gave focus to the project and has been a theme in shaping this show. Norm’s family roots run deep in Canada. Over the years\, the branches stretched to Yellowknife. The production is called Meet Me at the Rex as an homage to Norman’s grandparents\, who were the owners of this popular cafe from 1941 -1966. The Rex was a meeting place and home to many stories of how his family came to Yellowknife. He chose the 1950s time period to tell the story as this was a significant era for the Café. Norm has said\, “At times\, I’ve felt like my ancestors were guiding me in the writing of the songs\, the searching for information\, and are present during the live productions.”  \n\n\n\nCome on in\, sit down\, and have some coffee and pie. Meet me at the Rex. \n\n\n\nHay River PerformanceNorman Glowach – Johnny ColeDave Martineau – Guitar and VocalsPaul Martineau – Drums and VocalsPat Braden – Bass and VocalsLaura Vinson – VocalsKaren Shepard – Fiddle and Vocals \n\n\n\n\n\n\n*Family Package Adult $15\, Youth $5 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is organized by:

SUMMARY:NACC Presents: BENCHED
DESCRIPTION:UPPERCUT DANSETEATREINTERNATIONAL GUESTS FROM DENMARK\n\n\n\nBENCHED is a brutally honest bodily tale about life’s big and very small questions. About settling down. About daring to sit in opposition\, about sitting cross legged\, about being sat\, put off or benched. About taking\, creating\, and giving space\, and preferably remembering to do so before falling on your ass where the bench ends. Uppercut Danseteater is a diverse and international dance company that was founded in 1982 by Cher Geurtze and Ann Crooset as one of the first modern companies in Denmark. BENCHED is a classic Uppercut Danseteater piece\, in the way that the individual dancers’ background\, stories and strengths both as persons and performers\, are brought to the stage. With a starting point in the dance genres they have trained in- such as break\, contemporary dance\,street dance genres and capoeira -BENCHED fuses the many languages of dance into a dynamic physical performance that encompasses all of life’s emotions: Joy\, anger\, confusion\, humor\, love\, compassion\, frustration…the list goes on. \n\n\n\nCREDITS\n\n\n\nCONCEPT & CHOREOGRAPHYStephanie Thomasen\, in collaboration with the dancersSCENOGRAPHYJohan KølkjærLIGHT DESIGNPeter LøkkeDANCERSFive dancers from Uppercut Danseteater’s ensemble\, amongst others\, Mark Philip\, Kriss Mensa\, Adam Tocuyo and Jens Schyth BrøndumThe performance is supported by The Danish Arts Foundation \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is organized by:

SUMMARY:NACC Presents: MOZONGI
DESCRIPTION:By NYATA-NYATA Dance Company\n\n\n\nMozongi (Return) is a piece about time and\, more precisely\, the physics of time. The step is weight\, and weight is time. Not repetition\, but persistence. The structure of Mozongi thus unfolds through the contrasts of movement and immobility\, of the one and of the many\, to give shape to a primordial conflict – that of time\, which consumes space. Zab Maboungou/Compagnie Danse Nyata-Nyata has traced the trajectories of a revised and corrected contemporaneity for more than three decades. Zab Maboungou assumes the general and artistic direction of the company\, founded in 1987. As its choreographer\, and through her renewed art of rhythms and vibrant space\, he creates works with powerful gestures that stage the bodies of committed artists of dance and music\, both active and meditative\, who transform our relationship to time and life. \n\n\n\nFounder of the renowned Zab Maboungou/Compagnie Danse Nyata Nyata\, artist-choreographer and performer\, professor of philosophy and author\, Zab Maboungou has distinguished herself on all artistic and cultural action fronts. Her contribution\, remarkably\, unites and transcends identities and genres without ever diluting the knowledge and practices it has\, with a consistency that has never been denied. She has innovated and developed to propose a living art\, that is to say\, an art which goes beyond stories and communities and wants to stage beings and their time.Born in Paris but coming from Congo-Brazzaville\, she grew up in a post-independence atmosphere\, where she was introduced to dance. Zab Maboungou managed to translate and establish another presence and focus for the imagination\, thanks to her work and its involvement in artistic and cultural development. \n\n\n\n\n“…an unforgettable contemporary African dance. Mozongi is a dance of tremendous strength and purpose. In this immensely powerful performance\, a mere four dancers manage to suggest the presence of thousands.” \nLinde-Howe-Beck\, The Gazette\, 2001\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZab Maboungou\n\n\nZab Maboungou knows how to inhabit a scenic space\, not only physically but also mentally\, even spiritually. Lili Marin\, Kaos Magazine\, Montreal\, 2001\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is organized by:

SUMMARY:NACC Presents: Heart of the Dene Storytelling Festival
DESCRIPTION:Heart of the DeneIN PARTNERSHIP WITH Northwestel\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaggie Mercredi is Denesoline from Gani Koe’ and is a member of the Kai Taile’ Dene First Nation.With a vivid imagination since childhood\, she could visualize the stories heard around her\, understanding them\, then re-sharing them in her own way. She was introduced to the performing arts as a young adult\, inspiring her to learn more about theatre. She joined various performance groups\, became a co-founder of an Indigenous theatre group in the North\,graduated from the Centre for Indigenous Theatre in Toronto\, and completed storytelling and music residencies at the Banff Centre for the Arts. With the skills and knowledge gained\, she has written\, directed\, and produced for many venues. She has also coached groups in theatre and performance skills training. Maggie is honoured and excited with the opportunity to write alongside other artists in bringing alive the stories we carry from our language\,our ancestors\, our parents\, our family\, friends and communities for the future generations to enjoy\,long after we are gone. \n\n\n\nDavid Gon is Tlicho. He was born in Yellowknife and raised in the bush with the traditional way of life. He then moved to Behchoko to start school. He grew up listening to the beat of the drum and watched people dance to the rhythm. He taught himself how to play when he was 12 years old\, on a guitar his father bought him. David later formed a band called ‘Captain Eddy’.David has written his own songs and recorded albums of original music. His music is the expression of the value of the old ways as well as the new\, using the traditional Dene drum\, reflecting early influences and admiration of the wisdom\, stories and songs of the land\,his ancestors\, the Elders and the hopes and dreams of the young people. David has performed at Expo 86 in Vancouver\, at the Canada Winter Games in Cape Breton in 1987\, at Culture Canada in Ottawa in 1988\, and the Arctic Winter Games in 1990. \n\n\n\nCassandra (River) Blondin Burt is a two-spirit Dene Poet\, Artist\, and Earth Medicine Maker. Their work is grounded in the exploration of healing through co-creation with earth and story. Cassandra believes that the radical act of being in-relation to our other-than-human-relations is an act of political and personal rebellion\,and a pathway for collective and personal transformation and healing.Through a deepening relationship with the land-body we call Earth\, Cassandra explores regenerative art and creation praxis that allows them to move through myriad contemporary settler-colonial social structures and ideologies with intent\, and curiosity. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is organized by:

Maggie is honoured and excited with the opportunity to write alongside other artists in bringing alive the stories we carry from our language\,our ancestors\, our parents\, our family\, friends and communities for the future generations to enjoy\,long after we are gone. \n\n\n\nDavid Gon is Tlicho. He was born in Yellowknife and raised in the bush with the traditional way of life. He then moved to Behchoko to start school. He grew up listening to the beat of the drum and watched people dance to the rhythm. He taught himself how to play when he was 12 years old\, on a guitar his father bought him. David later formed a band called ‘Captain Eddy’.David has written his own songs and recorded albums of original music. His music is the expression of the value of the old ways as well as the new\, using the traditional Dene drum\, reflecting early influences and admiration of the wisdom\, stories and songs of the land\,his ancestors\, the Elders and the hopes and dreams of the young people. David has performed at Expo 86 in Vancouver\, at the Canada Winter Games in Cape Breton in 1987\, at Culture Canada in Ottawa in 1988\, and the Arctic Winter Games in 1990. \n\n\n\nCassandra (River) Blondin Burt is a two-spirit Dene Poet\, Artist\, and Earth Medicine Maker. Their work is grounded in the exploration of healing through co-creation with earth and story. Cassandra believes that the radical act of being in-relation to our other-than-human-relations is an act of political and personal rebellion\,and a pathway for collective and personal transformation and healing.Through a deepening relationship with the land-body we call Earth\, Cassandra explores regenerative art and creation praxis that allows them to move through myriad contemporary settler-colonial social structures and ideologies with intent\, and curiosity. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is organized by:

SUMMARY:NACC Presents: NORDTING
DESCRIPTION:THE NORTHERN ASSEMBLY: INDEPENDENCE FOR THE NORTH!IN PARTNERSHIP WITH SNOWKING WINTER FESTIVAL\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNORDTING – The Northern Assembly•a nomadic people’s parliament of the North•a party for the periphery•a separatist movement for the Arctic. \n\n\n\nNORDTING is an enthusiastic and challenging mix of a political rally\, gala show and powerpoint lecture. Staged as a peoples’ assembly\, the ambition is to investigate questions concerning power\, identity\, art and economy in a local\, northern context. NORDTING addresses everything from global issues around geopolitics\, climate change and capitalism to very local issues from the place the assembly is held. Everything is adjusted for each new location -there is local history\, local guests and local issues put up for vote. Since the beginning in 2014\, NORDTING has arranged peoples’ assemblies all over the Arctic\, from Alaska to Greenland\, from Iceland to Norway. Thousands of people have made their voices heard. Assemblies have voted yes or no to oil drilling\, fish farming\, mining\, independence for the North\, new street names\, new airline routes\, new national days and taxation of the rich.There has been a lottery\, cheering\, praying\, flagging\, singing\, chanting\, moving\, voting – and thinking about what it means to be an Arctic inhabitant. The point of departure for NORDTING is the North\, but the issues addressed – of power\, economy\, local identity\, ownership to resources\, separatism and populism – are very much global and common for us all.NORDTING is a staged performance that deals with the identity and power structures of the North. NORDTING comes all the way from the other side of the Arctic\, from the North of Norway\, with an amazing\, thought provoking and humorous cocktail of gala show\, powerpoint lecture and community meeting. \n\n\n\nNORDTING will be joined by the following NWT Special Guests: \n\n\n\n\nKaren Single Band\n\n\n\nKiera-Dawn Kolson\n\n\n\nGnarwhal\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is organized by:

SUMMARY:Heart of the Dene Storytelling Festival in Norman Wells
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with NorthwesTel \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaggie Mercredi is Denesoline from Gani Koe’ and is a member of the Kai Taile’ Dene First Nation. With a vivid imagination since childhood\, she could visualize the stories heard around her\, understand them\, and then re-sharing them in her own way. She was introduced to the performing arts as a young adult\, inspiring her to learn more about theatre. She joined various performance groups\, became a co-founder of an Indigenous theatre group in the North\, graduated from the Centre for Indigenous Theatre in Toronto\, and completed storytelling and music residencies at the Banff Centre for the Arts. With the skills and knowledge gained\, she has written\, directed\, and produced for many venues. She has also coached groups in theatre and performance skills training. Maggie is honoured and excited with the opportunity to write alongside other artists in bringing alive the stories we carry from our language\, our ancestors\, our parents\, our family\, friends and communities for future generations to enjoy long after we are gone. \n\n\n\nDavid Gon is Tlicho. He was born in Yellowknife and raised in the bush with the traditional way of life. He then moved to Behchoko to start school. He grew up listening to the beat of the drum and watched people dance to the rhythm. He taught himself how to play when he was 12 years old on a guitar his father bought him. David later formed a band called ‘Captain Eddy.’ David has written his own songs and recorded albums of original music. His music is the expression of the value of the old ways as well as the new\, using the traditional Dene drum\, reflecting early influences and admiration of the wisdom\, stories and songs of the land\, his ancestors\, the Elders and the hopes and dreams of the young people. David has performed at Expo 86 in Vancouver\, at the Canada Winter Games in Cape Breton in 1987\, at Culture Canada in Ottawa in 1988\, and at the Arctic Winter Games in 1990. \n\n\n\nCassandra (River) Blondin Burt is a two-spirit Dene Poet\, Artist\, and Earth Medicine Maker. Their work is grounded in the exploration of healing through co-creation with earth and story. Cassandra believes that the radical act of being in relation to our other-than-human relations is an act of political and personal rebellion and a pathway for collective and personal transformation and healing. Through a deepening relationship with the land-body we call Earth\, Cassandra explores regenerative art and creation praxis that allows them to move through myriad contemporary settler-colonial social structures and ideologies with intent and curiosity.

SUMMARY:Trio Mediaeval in Inuvik
DESCRIPTION:GRAMMY-NOMINATED GUESTS FROM NORWAY \n\n\n\nANNA MARIA FRIMAN / LINN ANDREA FUGLSETH / JORUNN LOVISE HUSAN \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe crystalline voices of Trio Mediaeval have captivated audiences since the group was founded in Oslo in 1997. The Grammy-nominated trio’s core repertoire features sacred monophonic and polyphonic medieval music from England\, Italyand France; contemporary works written for the ensemble; and traditional Norwegian\, Swedish and Icelandic ballads and songs. The group’s fruitfulrelationship with the legendary ECM Records\, collaborative spirit\, and busy touring schedule has earned them worldwide renown. Trio Mediaeval’s first of eight albums on ECM Records\, Words of the Angel\, landed on Billboard’s Top 10 and was a Stereophile “Recording of the Month.” Further releases on ECM followed in 2004 with Soir\, dit-elle and in 2005 with Stella Maris. The first three recordings\,produced by John Potter\, consisted of medieval and contemporary works. In 2007\, the trio teamed with the Norwegian percussionist Birger Mistereggen on a recording of Norwegian ballads and songs entitled Folk Songs\, produced by Manfred Eicher. Folk Songs was nominated for the Norwegian Spellemannprisen and for a Grammy Award for “Best Chamber Music Performance.” A Worcester Ladymass (2011) was also on Billboard’s Top 10 list\, and was selected by the German Record Critic’s Award as one of the best new releases in the “Early Music” category. The trio’s Aquilonis was named a “Top Music Recording of 2014” bythe New York Times. In 2017\, Trio Mediaeval and jazz trumpeter Arve Henriksen released Rímur — medieval and folk music from Iceland\, Sweden and Norway. In 2020 Trio Mediaeval produced the album Solacium on the Norwegian label 2L\, with Grammy-winning Morten Lindberg as producer/engineer. In 2023\, 2L releases Trio Mediaeval’s latest recording\, An Old Hall Ladymass. Since 2006\, the trio has embarked on a number of collaborative projects with Norwegian jazz/improvisational musicians. These collaborations have led to concerts and radio broadcasts at the Bergen Festival (where the trio was Artist-in-Residence in 2007)\, Molde Jazz Festival\, Wigmore Hall\, West Cork Music Festival\, as well as performances in Norway\, Holland\, Italy and Germany. \n\n\n\n\n“Singing doesn’t get more unnervingly beautiful\,” wrote Joshua Kosman of the San Francisco Chronicle\, who declared their San Francisco debut “among the musical highlights of the year.” He added\, “To hear the group’s note-perfectcounterpoint – as pristine and inviting as clean\, white linens – is to be astonished at what the human voice is capable of. \n\n\n\n\n\n“The three women of the Norwegian Trio Mediaeval can look backproudly over 20 years of uncovering the often mysterious andmystical music written centuries before the cantatas of Bach or themasses of Palestrina.” “Rating: 5/5” \nWilliam Dart\, New Zealand Herald

As historical wars are waged with the Cree and Nakodaagainst the Blackfoot\, Macikosisân (Macbeth)\, a great Okihcitâw (warrior)\, becomes consumed by the cannibal spirit Wihtiko. He plots with KâwanihotIskwew (Lady Macbeth)\, to kill their Chief\, Okimâw Wîpâstim (Duncan). Pawâkan Macbeth is a terrifying journey through love\, greed\, honour and betrayal\, withtrickster beings that lie like truth. \n\n\n\nFEATURING:Mallory AmiraultJD MontgrandLisa NassonMitch SaddlebackSpencer Streichertčačumḥi – aaron wells \n\n\n\nDirector & Playwright: Reneltta ArlukAssistant Director: Barry BilinskyPlains Cree Language Consultant & Translator:  Darlene AugerPlains Cree Consultant: Jhaik Windy HairCostume Designer: Logan Martin- ArcandSet Designer: Cimmeron MeyerLighting Designer: Brad TrenamanSound Designer: Carmen BradenFight Director: Nathan LoitzTour Technical Director: Cody Clyburn \n\n\n\n\nAkpik Theatre – PAWÂKAN MACBETH\n\n\n\nAkpik Theatre – PAWÂKAN MACBETH\, \nAaron Wells as Macikosisân and Allyson Pratt as Kâwanihot Iskwew\n\n\n\nAkpik Theatre – PAWÂKAN MACBETH\n\n\n\nAkpik Theatre – PAWÂKAN MACBETH\n\n\n\nAkpik Theatre – PAWÂKAN MACBETH\n\n\n\nAkpik Theatre – PAWÂKAN MACBETH\, Aaron Wells as Macikosisân and Joel Montgrand\n\n\n\nAkpik Theatre – PAWÂKAN MACBETH\n\n\n\nAkpik Theatre – PAWÂKAN MACBETH

SUMMARY:NACC Presents: Piqsiq
DESCRIPTION:(PRONOUNCED “PILK-SILK”) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWith a style perpetually galvanized by darkness and haunting northern beauty\, sisters Tiffany Ayalik and Inuksuk Mackay come together to create an Inuit-style throat singing duo\, PIQSIQ. Performing ancient traditional songs and eerie new compositions\, they leave their listeners enthralled with the infinity of possible answers to the question “What is the meaning of life?”  \n\n\n\nWith roots in Nunavut’s Kitikmeot and Kivalliq\, the sisters grew up in Yellowknife\, Northwest Territories. Their love of katajjaq\, Inuit throat singing\, began in childhood and has bonded them throughout their lives. After years of forging this hard-won skill\, they developed their own form blended with their love of haunting melodies and otherworldly sounds.  \n\n\n\nAs PIQSIQ\, they perform improvisational looping live\, creating a dynamic audience experience that changes with every show. PIQSIQ incorporates their dark and ethereal style into their recordings and have produced four studio albums to date. Inuksuk and Tiffany continue to blend magic with sound to further develop their entrancing style for both national and international audiences. \n\n\n\nPlay\n\n\n\n\n“Kayley Inuksuk Mackay and Tiffany Kuliktana Ayalik are Inuit style throat singers performing ancient traditional songs and eerie new compositions.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n
