Everyday: Internationally acclaimed Italian artist BRUNO BILLIO uses light to transform the Canadian Stage Company's Berkeley location. Billio's centrepiece will be an 18' tall Black and Yellow Tower.

SPOTLIGHT.ITALY 10.11 marks the first year of our international Spotlight series, which will see the entire Berkeley complex transformed into a celebration of the groundbreaking contemporary theatre and culture of a particular foreign country.

LA NATURA DELLE COSE 
Choreography by Virgilio Sieni, collaboration on dramaturgical writing and translations Giorgio Agamben, with Ramona Caia, Massimiliano Barachini, Jacopo Jenna, Csaba Molnar, Daniele Ninarello.
Inspired by Lucretius’ ancient Roman text On the Nature of the Universe, this compelling dance theatre piece was conceived and choreographed to examine and explore the idea of the origin of things, vacuousness and nothingness.
March 15-19, 2011 Berkeley Downstairs

NUNZIO 
Text by Spiro Scimone, Directed by Carlo Cecchi, with Francesco Sframeli and Spiro Scimone.
A dialogue takes place between an ailing man who is happy merely to “wait and see” and his tough nomadic hero who is soft at heart – both alone in the world and partners in misfortune.
March 15-19, 2011 Berkeley Upstairs

BASSO OSTINATO
Choreography by Caterina Sagna, Text by Roberto Fratini Serafide,with Alessandro Bernardeschi, Antonio Montanile, Mauro Paccagnella.
Following an evening meal, three men converse with words, fragments, and gestures in this criticism of contemporary human efforts to mask decay and death under virtuosic form.
March 22-26, 2011 Berkeley Downstairs

LA FESTA
Text by Spiro Scimone, Directed by Gianfelice Imparato, with Francesco Sframeli, Spiro Scimone, Gianluca Casali.
La Festa is a brilliant examination of the family microcosm. Set in a small, abstract kitchen while preparing for a party, a father, mother, and son act out one day — amongst many — in a cruel but delightfully funny game of reciprocal intolerance.
March 22-26, 2011 Berkeley Upstairs

Greg Holman, "My Left Hand"

De Luca Fine Art's own Greg Holman "My Left Hand" at Propeller Centre For The Visual Arts.

Opening Reception:

Thurs. Feb 17, 7 - 10 p.m.

Black & White Ball

February 16 - 27, 2011

A juried exhibition featuring works in black and white.

The exhibit is inspired by Truman Capote’s 1966, Black and White Ball, held at the Grand Ballroom of New York City's Plaza Hotel.  It was considered to be "the most posh event, not just of the year, but also of the decade, and maybe even the century" To read more go to:  http://www.propellerctr.com/

My Left Hand was originally exhibited in 1997 at the Joseph D. Carrier Art Gallery and at the National Museum of Photography in Brescia, Italy. Both exhibitions displayed 30, 4x5 inch contact prints from instant Polaroid negatives. These Polaroids were tests for shooting with large format camera, using my 8 x 10 inch negatives. Only three enlargements were produced. They are the only limited editions prints created from the 8 x 10 series. 

"The series was initially conceived through my inspiration to pursue three-dimensional sculptural forms with photography. The ability to contort my hands was inherited from my great grandfather, a circus contortionist in Chicago. The twisted hand seemed perfect for this sculptural exploration”.~ Greg Holman

“My Left Hand” photographs are limited edition archival silver bromide prints created in 2001 for Greg Holman's ten-year retrospective titled “Decade”.

Ecco la nuova generazione italo-canadese

Giovedì sera è stato presentato il libro dedicato ai giovani imprenditori

Di ELENA SERRA
Articolo pubblicato il: 2011-01-29
 
TORONTO - È stato presentato giovedì sera al Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP di Bay street il libro Made in Canada, the Italian Way: The Next Generation promosso dalla Camera di Commercio Italiana in Ontario (Icco). Il libro raccoglie le interviste realizzate a 34 giovani professionisti italo-canadesi, che hanno già raggiunto livelli di esperienza in settori come quello degli affari, dell’arte, scienza e scultura.
«Sfogliando questo libro si può subito capire - ha spiegato l’executive director dell’Icco Corrado Paina al Corriere Canadese - che questi ragazzi hanno già raggiunto una esperienza di vita e un successo che sono incredibili, soprattutto alla loro età». Questo, secondo Paina, è un dato molto importante per l’intera comunità italiana: «Il fatto che vi siano giovani di tale successo permette che avvengano cambiamenti radicali all’interno della comunità italo-canadese - continua il direttore - La loro maturità è infatti un elemento fondamentale per far si che finalmente le comunità si compatti e riesca a compiere quelle scelte che ne proteggeranno l’esistenza». I 34 ritratti pubblicati sulle pagine di Made in Canada, the Italian Way: The Next Generation rappresentano quindi una ventata di freschezza per una realtà, quella italo-canadese, che necessita di un’apertura verso l’esterno pur mantenendo la propria identità.
Circa 300 persone hanno preso parte all’evento di giovedì sera, che ha celebrato non solo il libro, ma una generazione intera. «È stato un evento molto bello - conclude Paina - soprattutto perché tutti i partecipanti hanno acquistato una copia del libro. Questo permetterà di diffondere ancora di più le storie di eccellenti successi di questi giovani italo-canadesi».
Per chi fosse interessato all’acquisto, è possibile trovare il libro nelle librerie o contattando la Camera di Commercio Italiana dell’Ontario al 416-789-7169
