Recently Announced: Northcote in the Exchange

/in , /by

The Exchange is proud to announce that Northcote will be playing the Exchange on June 22 as part of the New West Concert Series.

The last time we saw the group in the venue was a big event. The group, featuring Saskatchewan born-and-raised Matt Goud, were touring with Ontario rock group the Glorious Sons, and together they played a sold-out show in the Exchange this past fall. Goud and his bandmates have had their fair share of big touring opportunities lately, from the Sons to Frank Turner to a string of U.S. dates with the Gaslight Anthem.

Now, coming back through on their first big headlining tour in years, and bringing along some great artists with them. Vancouver, B.C.’s Jordan Klassen –– who played recently in Regina with Library Voices –– will be performing as a duo, while Josiah of Morristown, TN’s Josia and the Bonnevilles will also be around for an opening set.

Ticket details and more will be announced shortly. Keep your eye on the event page for information as it’s confirmed.

 

Calling All Artists! The 2016 Workshop Tour Awaits

/in /by

The Cultural Exchange is looking for personable, passionate, and talented artists to join the 2016 Workshop Tour. Every year for the past three decades, the troupe has travelled for a month-plus to deliver artistic workshops at elementary and high schools across Saskatchewan.

The 2016 tour runs from September 24 to October 30, 2016. Applications are due April 25, 2016.

The troupe requires artists intimately familiar with drama, visual arts, music, or dance. They need to be comfortable working with students and should be bondable.

Artists in the troupe will each need to develop a workshop that they can modify for students of various ages. They will make themselves available prior to the tour to meet with the tour manager. Then, in the fall of 2016, they will travel with the troupe, delivering the workshop multiple times a day. Overnight trips to Saskatchewan communities will be required.

This is an exciting opportunity to practice your craft and meet who will be the next generation of Saskatchewan artists.

Go to the Cultural Exchange’s website for more information on the Workshop Tour. Contact Outreach Coordinator Rowan Pantel via email at rowan@culturalexchange.ca for further details. Those applying must include:

  • a résumé;
  • a lesson plan appropriate for students from Kindergarten to Grade 12; and
  • a budget for materials.

Applications are due Monday, April 25.
