The Lunchbox Interview: The Lifers

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

The word harmony implies a synchronicity we appreciate and desire in sound and in life.

My guests today are Liv and Anita, collectively known as The Lifers. They are on tour celebrating their recent album, Honey Suite, and have added curious collective hope diary-like interaction with their audiences. As well as talking about their touring experiences and music, they performed two songs live in the studio: Sister and New Eyes.

Catch them at The Gallery on Queen on January 29 at 7pm, or on their tour.

The Lunchbox Interview: Jenny & Gillian (Frontier College)

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox 1 Comment

The most exciting frontier that should be approachable for everyone is reading; some people just need a helping hand.

My guests today are Jenny and Gillian, two students (from UNB and STU respectively) who are interns with Frontier College. We talk about how this volunteer organization helps students from university and high school with literacy and numeracy, and the rewarding experience that provides for tutor and learner alike.

The Lunchbox Interview: Theatre St Thomas presents The Importance of Being Earnest

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

I am so clever that sometimes I don’t understand a single word of what I am saying. — Oscar Wilde

My guests today are Peter, Eliza and John Ball, all with the upcoming Theatre St Thomas presentation of Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest. Peter plays Algernon, Eliza plays Cecily, and John Ball is the co-director of the production, along with Ilke Silk.

They join me to discuss the challenges and thrills of playing a comedy written with incredible wit, and demonstrate a scene between the two characters.

The Importance of Being Earnest is being staged at Theatre St Thomas’ Black Box Theatre starting on January 30, running nightly at 7:30pm through Saturday, with an additional matinee performance on Saturday at 2pm. Since there is expected to be quite a demand for seats, a special pre-performance reservation can be done by emailingtheatrestthomas [at] gmail [dot] com with the subject “Earnest”.

See the event on Facebook for more details.

The Lunchbox Interview: Anna Torma & David Zsako (Beasts & Gardens)

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

Art is often about discovery and accidental combinations made intentional. Sometimes, it takes a lifetime to discover an immediate technique.

My guests today are Anna Torma and David Zsako, two artists who have combined efforts to create a joint/integrated art installation entitled Beasts and Gardens, opening January 18 at the UNB Art Centre. They join me to talk about their very different inspirations and techniques, their common features, and how this exhibit came together.

The exhibit opening is at the UNB Art Centre in Memorial Hall at UNB Campus on January 18 from 5pm to 7pm, and is on display until March 1.
