Autumn in East Vancouver 🍁

I will keep saying this, because it's going to be truer and truer:
If you want a 100 percent non AI experience, go to a show. Any given night there's something going on.

(3/3)...

Dance serves to release negative emotions from the body of the dancer, but similarly to encourage viewers to experience their own emotional catharsis, making myokines a metaphor for the feelings that can be transmitted from performer to audience.

Teresa Trovato @teresatrovatopr.bsky.social · 20d

(2/3)...

Myokines are known as “molecules of hope”: small proteins released by muscle fibres during exercise that bring positive effects both physically and mentally. Seven performers explore the body and its capacity for positivity in the face of the horrors that permeate our current era.

Arts investments have sky-high multiplier effect for job creation. They build an economy rooted in experiences rather than mass consumption of goods. Paris, New York and London thrive due to investment in arts. Great cities lure capital, talented workers, and nightlife, ensuring economic success.

Shawn Macdonald @shawniemacdon.bsky.social · Sep 4

@mark-carney.bsky.social Do not back track on your campaign commitments to maintain Arts funding, especially the Canada Council. Part of building Canadian infrastructure is investing in the Cultural Sector. Don’t let us down.
