SUMMARY:The Beat Goes On - Kita no Taiko's 30th Anniversary Performance
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Timms Centre for the Arts (112 St 87 Ave) on Saturday March 5 at 7:00 pm and Sunday March 6 at 2:00 pm\, this show is a celebration of three decades of drumming and how our music has defined our journey. Taiko is traditional Japanese drumming that has undergone a modernization since the 1950’s that has resulted in the kumidaiko or ensemble-style taiko that we see today. \nTaiko is popular with audiences due to its high energy\, driving rhythms\, and beautiful choreography. Drummers come from all ages and ethnicities\, and find taiko is a great way to share Japanese culture and art. Kita no Taiko is the original Japanese drumming group in Alberta\, and one of the oldest in Canada. Over our long history we have shared the dynamic movements and stunning visuals of our art with communities around the province and abroad. Our wish is to combine the graceful\, powerful and uplifting musical and performance elements of taiko to create entertaining and inspiring performances for our audiences. Our 30th anniversary is a very special occasion\, so we want to express our love of taiko by sharing it with Edmontonians!

SUMMARY:Picturing Social Justice in Early Modern China and England
DESCRIPTION:Guest Speaker: Prof. Martin Powers (University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\, Michigan\, U.S.A.) \nLocation: TELUS International Centre (Room 134) (light lunch provided after) \nIn 1741 Richard Hatchett adapted the Chinese play The Orphan of Zhao as a vehicle for exposing Robert Walpole’s corruption and abuse of power. What Hatchett viewed as corruption\, most Englishmen saw as privilege\, the inherited rights of a lord\, but then this was the debate of the moment. More than 1500 years earlier that same story featured in stone engravings in China\, also as a means of exposing a minister’s corruption and abuse of power. Those engravings were the beginning of a long tradition of literary and pictorial exposes of social injustice in China. Artists in England likewise developed socially conscious pictures during the decades just prior to Hatchett’s intervention.  Arguably\, in both instances\, the appearance of politicized art resulted from the demands of an increasingly literate and independent-minded audience. This lecture explores the implications of parallel development and direct interaction between China and England during the long 18th century.

SUMMARY:The Emperor Qianlong’s Tours of Southern China in Painting\, Poetry\, and Logistical Practice
DESCRIPTION:Guest Speaker: Prof. Michael G. Chang (George Mason University\, Fairfax\, VA\, U.S.A.) \nThis presentation will focus on the well-known southern tours of the Qianlong emperor (1711-1799\, r. 1736-1795)\, the fourth Manchu emperor to rule over China-proper. Each of Qianlong’s six southern tours\, which took place between 1751 and 1784\, were extended affairs during which the emperor and his rather sizeable entourage spent anywhere from three to five months traveling through one of the empire’s most prosperous and critical regions—the Lower Yangtze delta (a.k.a. “Jiangnan”).But what did a southern tour actually look like? And what was the visual impact and symbolic meaning of the mobile court as it journeyed to and through the Lower Yangtze delta? \nIn this presentation\, Chang will address such questions by considering a variety of historical sources including court paintings\, imperial poetry\, literati accounts\, administrative regulations\, and archival documents. By reading this array of sources in conjunction with and against each other\, Chang hopes to elucidate how court paintings of the Qianlong emperor’s southern tours as well as of other imperial spectacles did not necessarily represent reality in any direct (positivistic) manner. Instead\, these paintings were themselves ideologically imbued documents that served to maintain strict and stereotypical boundaries between northern and southern landscapes\, between civil and military spheres\, and between Chinese and Inner Asian cultural norms and political sensibilities. Equally important\, Chang will also detail how the logistical management and written accounts of the mobile court’s two most basic material forms—that is\, a court on horseback and a court in camp—symbolically undermined the visual taxonomy constituted by court paintings and thereby generated ethnically imbued projections of imperial authority within the heart of China-proper. \n5:15 pm – 5:45 pm\nQuestion & Answer Session  \n\nProf. Kristina Kleutghen (Washington University\, St Louis\, MO\, U.S.A.)\nProf. Michael G. Chang (George Mason University\, Fairfax\, VA\, U.S.A.)\n\n\nLocation: TELUS International Centre (Room 134)

SUMMARY:Seeing Suzhou in Chinese Painting
DESCRIPTION:Guest Speaker: Prof. Kristina Kleutghen (Washington University\, St Louis\, MO\, U.S.A.) \nLocation: TELUS International Centre (Room 134) \n\nWhen the Kangxi emperor’s Southern Tours disembarked in Suzhou in the late-seventeenth and early-eighteenth centuries\, the ruler arrived in a city famous across the empire for its optical devices. Popular use of these devices in and around Suzhou coincided with the Jesuit introduction of optic and catoptric principles at the court in Beijing. The combination of these factors led to the growth of Qing imperial fascination with vision at the same time as the expansion of the imperial painting academy and the strengthening of the empire as an ordered\, unified whole. About sixty years after Kangxi first visited Suzhou\, his grandson\, the Qianlong emperor\, arrived there during his own Southern Tours\, and made a special visit to the famed Lion Grove Garden. Both emperors later had their visits to Suzhou depicted in paintings\, and the Qianlong emperor commissioned an additional work depicting the garden. By looking at Suzhou in person and in paintings\, these emperors created complex visual relationships between reality and representation\, all within the larger concerns of the empire. \nFocusing on two Qing imperial paintings in the Mactaggart Art Collection that depict Suzhou and its Lion Grove Garden\, this presentation uses those works as a lens onto the links between place\, perception\, painting\, and power at the High Qing court. By connecting ideas about vision to the deeper meanings inherent in imperial perception\, these paintings attempted to represent the experience and memory of real sites in ways that intertwined art\, sight\, and politics. Through these two paintings of real Suzhou sites visited by two emperors on numerous occasions\, a great deal can be learned about how order in the Qing empire had become inseparable from imperial vision itself. The Kangxi and Qianlong emperors’ decisions to have their influential visits to Suzhou\, the city with the greatest effect on period conceptions of vision\, recreated in paintings begins to reveal the role of sight in the High Qing imperium.

SUMMARY:Darren Fung Composer - The Great Human Odyssey in Concert
DESCRIPTION:A riveting documentary produced by anthropologist and filmmaker Dr. Niobe Thompson on the origins of humanity and its path to the present was given life with the music of former Edmonton composer Darren Fung in a series presented on CBC’s The Nature of Things. See a specially-prepared version of the film projected above the musicians of the ESO conducted by Darren with live narration by Niobe himself. A dazzling display for your eyes\, ears\, heart and minds. \nAt one point in his life\, Darren used to be a really good piano player. Then he decided to compose: at the age of fifteen he wrote a piece for the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra\, and then it all went downhill. After finishing his degree at McGill and living and loving Montreal for twelve years\, Darren is now based out of Los Angeles. \nAmongst his credits\, Darren recreated Canada’s second national anthem\, the beloved Hockey Theme\, for CTV and TSN. His work on Bell Canada’s Orchestra spot\, run during the 2010 Vancouver Olympics\, was voted as Canada’s top commercial by readers of The Globe and Mail. His critically acclaimed work on the mini-series Lost Years garnered him a 2012 Canadian Screen Award nomination. His feature and short film scores have been heard at prestigious film festivals around the world\, including Toronto\, Cannes\, and Sundance. \nDarren currently serves as the Second Vice President of the Screen Composers Guild of Canada\, and acts as a Program Advisor for the Canadian Film Centre’s Slaight Music Residency. He is represented by Maria Machado of the prestigious Gorfaine/Schwartz Agency. \n \n

SUMMARY:Visualizing China's Imperial Order\, Or\, Why Paint Architecture?
DESCRIPTION:The Mactaggart Art Collection Lecture Series \nAll lectures are held at the TELUS International Centre\, Room 134 \nRegistration Required \n7:00 – 8:30 pm \n“Visualizing China’s Imperial Order\, Or\, Why Paint Architecture?” \nGuest Speaker: Prof. Nancy S. Steinhardt (University of Pennsylvania\, Philadelphia\, PA\, U.S.A.) \nLocation: TELUS International Centre (Room 134) \nA surprising number of Chinese paintings include architecture. More surprising\, the architecture often has little to do with the painting. Why is it present? \nThis presentation begins with a brief overview of jiehua (ruled line) painting\, works made with measuring devices to aid in the painting of buildings. We see that architecture frames action\, divides action\, is a focus amid landscape\, and sometimes is the subject of painting on a variety of media. We also see that these uses of architecture occur in secular and religious painting as early as the Han dynasty (206 BCE – CE 220) and continue through the Qing dynasty (1644-1911) when they are found in masterpieces of Chinese painting such as Wang Hui’s (1632-1717) “Kangxi Emperor’s Inspection Tour” and Xu Yang’s “Qianlong Inspection Tour” of the 18th century in the Mactaggart Art Collection. \nThe presentation proposes that architecture in painting imposes an order\, and in certain paintings\, an imperial order to the environment of the work of art\, and further\, that the role of architecture in painting is similar to the purpose of three-dimensional architecture of full and small-scale.

SUMMARY:Alberta Ballet Presents Dynamic Directions
DESCRIPTION:Dynamic Directions \nPresented by: Alberta Ballet \nFeaturing: choreography by Wen Wei Wang\, Aszure Barton and Yukichi Hattori \nWhen: Feb. 19 and 20 \nWhere: Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium \nTickets: Start at $29 available at 780-428-6839\, ticket.albertaballet.com \nThree distinctively different choreographic voices are set to take over Alberta Ballet stages for Dynamic Directions\, a contemporary mixed bill celebrating Western Canada’s dance makers. What unites the three featured dance artists is some form of transplant. \nWen Wei Wang came from China to Canada in 1991\, and his dance works often draw on his personal experience as an immigrant to Canada. And while Edmonton-born Aszure Barton is what you might call homegrown talent\, she was uprooted at an early age to pursue her training at the National Ballet School in Toronto and is now based in New York. It is Yukichi Hattori\, Alberta Ballet’s own rising star\, who truly feels the most homegrown\, even though he came to us from Tokyo via the Hamburg School in Germany. \n  \n  \nhttp://edmontonjournal.com/entertainment/local-arts/dance-preview-alberta-ballets-dynamic-directions-celebrates-three-choreographers \n
