SPACE TALKS

To celebrate and amplify the 2022 Women From Space festival, Musicworks presents Space Talks, a series of free, pre-concert chats designed to introduce WFS artists & ideas to audiences.

Festival-goers and community members with curious ears are welcome!

Talks held nightly from 7:00-7:40 p.m. in the Tranzac's Living Room—across from the Main Hall where festival showcases start at 8:00 p.m. Drop by a pick up a free copy of Musicworks!

Thursday, April 28 at 7:00 p.m.
INTERACTION: Improvising across disciplines

WFS performer and Musicworks writer Sara Constant asks tonight's performers how their musical practices as improvisers have encouraged them to explore new spaces and possibilities. Featuring Aline Homzy, Susanna Hood, Nicole Rampersaud, and Paramorph Collective (An-Laurence Higgins and Kim Farris-Manning).

Friday, April 29 at 7:00 p.m.
DOUBLE TIME: The art of teaming up

Musicworks editor Jennie Punter investigates the layered musical decision-making behind some of tonight’s sets: finding balance and listening in a duo format; translating sounds into live visual accompaniment; and developing music for an ad-hoc harp quartet. Featuring Lisa Conway, Lori Freedman, and Grace Scheele.

Saturday, April 30 at 7:00 p.m.
SONIC FUTURES: New narrative lines

For the final Space Talk, Toronto percussionist Joyce To sits down with WFS artists who revel in innovative storytelling, tracing artistic lineages and inventing new sonic vocabularies to create new musical futures. Featuring TUSH and Ronley Teper.
