1. Words from Lisa Pijuan-Nomura
And so, the first week of November I found myself getting ready to film my one woman show She Said Saffron as part of a new television show called Solo Flight . I was going to be included in the first season of this national show featuring solo shows! It was a week before the filming and I found myself in unknown territory at the ACTRA offices getting a permit to perform. I had realized that I still needed to get material for my new costume by the end of the day. So I jump into a cab. Now, I am one of those people who truly enjoys the cab drivers of Toronto. In fact, if I ever started a band, I would call it Cabbie. I am forever amazed at the cab drivers that I meet who are scientists, doctors, mathematicians, poets, and wonderful souls. They have often come from far away lands in search of something better that Canada might have to offer. And so, on this particular Friday, I find myself in a cab talking away to this storyteller. In the mirror I see his eyes and they are dark and kind. And we begin speaking about food and how lucky we are to live in Toronto and access foods from all over... (do you all know about King Noodle at Dundas and Spadina?) Anyhow, we start talking about Europe and even though historically it is rich, it lacks a diversity that we have in our city. And he begins asking me where I have traveled to. I mention Prague. And in the mirror his eyes light up. “I am from a town outside of Prague. Pilsen. What did you do in Prague?” “I was lucky to work and study with Czech puppet masters... they are brilliant” At this moment, I see his eyes brighten even more. “Could it be that you have met my childhood friend? I haven't seen him in many years but 20 years ago we were the best of friends!” As it turns out, his childhood friend was one of the puppet experts that I worked with! And the chances of getting into this cab, on this day are 1 in a million. As we departed we thanked each other and went our ways. As I walked down queen looking for fabric, I couldn't help but smile and realize the magic that just occurred. He too realized it because he found me again on the streets 10 minutes later and we took photos and he decided that he would contact his friend from so long ago. In May they will see each other in Prague. And now you ask, why am I telling you this? Well, I just think it's a nice time of the year to be reminded of the possibilities of magic. With all of the holiday insanity, we seem to forget that one of the most magical moments is people and how we connect with them. Truly magical. And so, seek out the magic and find friends in unlikely places. I hope this finds you well and wonderful in the month of November and December. I will be back in January with a new letter and an updated website and after a little time off, more energy to share what I know with you all! Happy Holidays and Warm Wishes! Lisa Pijuan-Nomura P.S. I will be performing in a few events this month, The Block in One Spot party and then on the 2nd will be part of a new event called CoexisDance #2. It's a great event... do come and see. It's a lot of fun. And then on December 8 th , Dan Yashinsky and myself with be hosting the 1001 Nights of Storytelling at Innes College . Come out and share stories… I promise it will be a wonderful time! 2. RED: A Night of Live PerformanceFor the first time ever this RED will feature all women performers.

Feature Photography: BelongI've seen this show, and it's absolutely stunning! Why don't you come and join us on Friday night for the opening reception for Dave and Melanie's show. I think he's brilliant, but then maybe I'm a little biased ;-) - Lisa
Melanie Gordon and David Pijuan-Nomura collaborate on a photographic exhibit on the theme of “belonging”. The exhibition features environmental portraits by Melanie Gordon and macrophotography by David Pijuan-Nomura. As modern culture focuses in on the individual, there is an increasing need for a sense of belonging. The feeling of being “out of place” is often the first signpost delineating where we belong. Melanie Gordon and David Pijuan-Nomura explore the tension in being out of place. What happens when a person becomes frozen between origin and destination? Gordon's portraits are a series of unexpected scenes that explore the collision of the personal and the impersonal. Pijuan-Nomura has taken the idea of “out of place” to another level by rephotographing objects from Gordon's scenes and presenting a series of macrophotographs that reinvent the meaning of these objects. This is the first time that all the 14 works will be presented together in one room. If you haven't seen the exhibition, you will discover a mysterious, interactive element to the work, prompting a very close look at the images to determine how they are connected. There will also be a selection of their other works in the front room! Admission is free, and the cafe offers a great light menu, a full bar, and fresh Cuban coffee! If we're not there, be sure to say hi to owners Eduardo and Alfred - they're great guys, and you'll be helping to support the local independent art scene. Belong is an interactive photography exhibit, Could you explain that and how the concept was realized? Melanie: The idea for the collaboration grew out of several brainstorming sessions this past winter to develop a collaborative show for the Contact Photography Festival, loosely based on the theme of "Imaging a Global Culture". Dave and I were studio neighbours and had talked about the idea of working on a project together. The Contact Festival gave us a concrete goal and venue in which to frame our show. Although our work is very different, when we started talking about ideas we found that we were interested in communicating in the same way about similar ideas. We fleshed out several ideas before settling on "Belong". It seemed that the main thread of the ideas we were discussing was how people feel connected or disconnected from their environment. The idea of "feeling out of place" can be visually interpreted in so many ways. I chose to focus on "people out of place", shooting environmental portraits of people between origin and destination, disconnected from their environments. As Dave does macrophotography, he focused on “objects out of place”. This is where the interactive element comes in. Dave photographed objects that were in my photographs, but so closely, that these small objects become their own landscapes. So each of Dave's photographs corresponds to each of mine and people can examine them and guess which ones connect. People really loved this challenge when we mounted the show for Contact. Some stayed for over an hour to identify each pair of images!
How does a collaboration between photographers work? Dave: The most important aspect of our collaboration on Belong was our commitment and enthusiasm to work together on the project. We both thought that it would be best for us to focus on our strengths, and see how working together created a new dimension to the skills and processes that we know so well. This meant working in macrophotography for me, and in environmental portraiture for Melanie. We bounced ideas off of each other, and were both intrigued by the idea of exploring that feeling you get when you're lost, uncomfortable, out of place. We had our theme, and decided to start shooting. Being down at the Distillery, I had often gone for walks in the West Donlands area, just East of our studio. This area had been a major influence in my part of the decision of our theme. I had often felt peculiar while walking around in there, with all the abandoned buildings rotting away. I definitely felt out of place, and this led to the first shoot, showing me standing in a tuxedo in front of the old Cherry Mills Terminal, now demolished to make way for a new development. At this point, we still hadn't decided how my macro work was going to tie into the global culture theme, so we made a creative decision to have my work complement Melanie's, and not try to force it into the Festival theme. This led to the final concept, which involved engaging the viewers in the game of trying to match the macro to the portrait. This engagement brings the viewer back to a feeling of intimacy, and even celebration, as the puzzle is solved. Melanie: This is the first collaboration that I have done with another photographer. It worked out really well because Dave and I have such different styles. We were able to work with the same idea in completely different ways. Together, our prints communicated so much more than either of us could on our own. Advice to emerging photographers? Melanie : Shoot and show your work as much as you can. The outdoor art shows are a great place to start. They expose you to lots of people and also give you a chance to see what other artists are doing. I would also recommend participating in the Contact Photography Festival, which has great exposure and a good reputation. Don't be afraid to express yourself! Dave: The most important thing is to make it your play, and to show it to the world. If you're really getting satisfaction and joy from shooting, people will see this in your work. Being a photographer begins with the belief in yourself. Talk to people. Get out there and show people what you do, and don't be afraid to take risks.

Feature Dance: Dancemakers
Three pairs of creators, three world premieres, and just one day to create them! Fast Track (November 23-25) is an exciting, furious and intense three days of guerrilla creation. With a nod to the company's roots, Dancemakers' founding members Peggy Baker, Pat Miner, Pat Fraser and Carol Anderson will lead master classes in the mornings. The focus shifts to new creation in the afternoons and evenings, as three pairs of creators collaborate with the company dancers and invited artists for a single day and perform the work that very evening. Each pair - a new one every day for three days - will respond to a specific question to get the creative juices flowing. Creative teams for the three days are: November 23, Heidi Strauss (dance) and Guillaume Bernardi (theatre); November 24, Susie Burpee (dance) and The Canadian Children's Dance Theatre ; November 25, Tedd Robinson (dance) and a mystery guest who, in keeping with the spirit of the event, will be chosen at random. Other collaborators include Kenneth Doren (sound), Geoff Bouckley (environment), and Duncan Morgan (production).
Dancemakers Centre for Creation Distillery Historic District 6. Feature Theatre: The Stronger VariationsI have one thing to say about Theatre Rusticle: go see them! It features Lucy Rupert and Viv Moore, two of my favourite people and performers! - Lisa
We wish everyone HAPPY HOLIDAYS with a physical and icily whimsical work examining three women and three men shopping one Christmas Eve and a chance meeting that exposes great betrayal. Is it the most wonderful time of the year? The Stronger Variations is inspired by August Strindberg's 1889 playette “The Stronger”. A two-hander, Strindberg's biographical work is originally written for two actresses ~ one who speaks and one who remains silent. It traces the chance meeting of a Wife and another woman who proves to be just that ~ the mistress of her husband and a ghost that has lived in her marriage and defined her life for many years. The Stronger Variations takes a musical “theme and variations” approach to the original and traces the journey of three women and three men out shopping one Christmas Eve. The women alternately play The Wife and The Mistress. The men alternately play The Husband and The Lover. We examine the nature of betrayal and desire through the lens of both genders and against a backdrop of all things Bing Crosby. Through the course of the play, the men and women come to occupy shared understanding of their situations and give themselves the greatest gift of all ~ that of their own self-knowledge. A standout at the Toronto Fringe Festival in 2005, we are partnering with Harbourfront Centre in this vibrant and exciting alternative to the Nutcracker and A Christmas Carol. December 7-16 York Quay Studio Theatre, Harbourfront Centre 235 Queen's Quay West Featuring: Misha Albert, Liza Balkan, Patrick Conner, Lighting by Michelle Ramsay Direction Allyson McMackon Voted "Best Movement Based Theatre Company", 7. Feature Comedy: Clown ChowderI have a soft spot for clowns. And I don't mean clowns for children with balloons and party favours! I mean, good funny honest clowns. And there aren't many places in the city to see them. Plus any chance to see Rachelle Elie perform JOE must be taken... she is so very funny in this piece. Some of the best clown I have seen! - Lisa Clown Chowder: an intimate clown soiree
Bad Dog Theatre, 138 Danforth Ave. (at Broadview) The theme for the show is Redemption. Hosted by Lo Bil www.baddogtheatre.com 8. Friends of RED: Meagan O’Shea with something blueA new feature of the RED Letter, I will feature a past performer of RED: A Night of Live Performance
Meagan O'Shea is one of Toronto's busiest and innovative performers. After her one woman show Night Stills, Meagan began to put her energies to creating unique performance pieces based on true stories. She included audio and visual accounts of true stories together with an interactive installation in the form of a quilt. The piece would culminate in an inventive choreography. Her subjects have been light and funny stories of First Kissed to stories collected from victims and perpetrators of violent crimes in As I Unravel Small Maps of My Spirit which was featured in Restorative Justice week in Ottawa. Her latest work, something blue explores the theme of women who were once married. Together with a interactive installation in the form of a wedding dress( Martha Cockshutt designing the dress and Dave Pijuan-Nomura creating the multimedia technology), songs by Aviva Chernick and music by Lori Clarke this piece will be the first formal showing of Meagan's New Dance Performance. Meagan has the fine ability to make us laugh, make us cry and make us feel. She also has one of the most wonderful smiles. Do go out and see something blue.

and Chad Dembski in /Dance/Songs/ I met Chad many many years ago. And I have seen Chad direct a show, sing a song, dance and dance and perform with a litlle lion puppet. The one thing that I really admire about Chad is his daring. He dares to experiment and take chances. And he dares to really be himself and be honest. For the past few years he has been working with Ame Henderson and Public Recordings . Chad emailed me to let me know about it and I realized that I really wanted to support him and his work. Do check him out in his most recent work.
A dance in the shape of a rock show. /Dance/Songs/ , like a good rock concert, flirts with obscenity. It can be over-the-top and out-of-control. The performers let it all out in front of the crowd. It is abandoned and joyful, intimate and tender. The new show from Ame Henderson / Public Recordings disrupts the dance concert with wit, energy and excess. /Dance/Songs/ is a collaboration with Montreal-based musician Eric Craven (http://www.cstrecords.com, Hanged Up, Silver Mountain Elegies Play War Radio, Silver Mt Zion, Hrsta, Tony Conrad, Sixtoo, Tom Verlaine, Patti Smith, Elizabeth Anka Vajagic).

Read this Book! With Book Lady Sarah Selecky
Katrina Onstad's name will be familiar to some of you - she used to be the National Post film critic, and she's an accomplished journalist and a multiple National Magazine Award nominee. There are three words printed in large type on the back of this paperback novel - “astute, dynamic, sardonic” - and as I read, her cutting cynicism, her sharp look at urban emptiness, and her occasionally breathtaking passages of wise reflection assured me that I was in good hands. The book is worth reading: Onstad is smart and funny, and she writes Toronto with an edge that Torontonians will recognize (whether Onstad's Toronto makes you wince or cheer depends on your love for the slice of Toronto she describes so intimately). Maxime is an entertainment writer for a newspaper in the city - she goes to film festivals and interviews celebrities (Ethan Hawke has a nice cameo, as does Nicole Kidman) and she hates the emptiness of her job and she drinks - oh, she drinks. So this is an urban story. But it's also a Canadian one, and like other Canadian novels, How Happy to Be dips into those familiar themes: memory, family, loss. Maxime grew up on a Gulf Island in British Columbia. Her parents were unconventional and wholesome in that BC way that Toronto loves to mock. Her mother died. Her father grew too depressed to father her very much, so as soon as she could, she packed up and moved to Ontario to get a life of her own. She's a split character: she left the Coast and came to the pulse - and now, in her mid-thirties, Maxime has found herself a life devoid of any soul. This book is about how Maxime wraps herself around this growing dissatisfaction with her life. She is faced with the promise of a real love, but before she lets herself accept it, she needs to face her past. There are moments of predictability in here, moments of sentimentality, sure - but Onstad is a good writer, and it's worth it to read the sometimes inconsistent narrative to find those “astute, dynamic, sardonic” passages. Promise. Sarah Selecky's first collection of stories, This Cake is for the Party, was published by Greenboathouse Books in 2003. Standing Up For Janey, a second chapbook, was released by Delirium Press in March 2006. Her stories have been published in Geist, Boulevard, The New Quarterly and Prairie Fire, and she was nominated for the 2006 Journey Prize. She's finishing her MFA in Creative Writing at the University of British Columbia, but she lives in Toronto. 10. Artists Health Center: 10 Buck ChallengeHi Fellow Artists!

Books and BitesI highly recommend Vancouver writer Max Wyman's Why Culture Matters: The Defiant Imagination (Douglas and McIntyre, 2004) . I was so moved by his passionate and clear analysis if who we are as Canadians in general, Canadian arts workers in particular and our contribution to national and even global health. He writes in his preface: "This book...is a manifesto for wholesale change in the way we as a society regard and value cultural activity. [It's} central thrust is the belief that culture, like health and education, is an unassailable human right, essential to the social and moral well-being of the society of the future." Powerful stuff indeed. I invite all arts workers to give it a read...and then pass it on to their family, friends, colleagues and other circles of influence. - Michael Trent, Artistic Director of Dancemakers 15.
