   LUCKY MAYBE Episode 1, 20 minutes ON NOW at Canada’s National Art Centre Online May 3 to August 31, 2021 Click here to watch   Suddenly Dance Theatre presents A Suddenly Media Production An international collaboration: Canada / South Korea Created and Directed by David Ferguson Choreography: Hoyeon Kim and Jungha Lim Music by Miles Lowry     Suddenly Dance Theatre’s Artistic co-Director David Ferguson has captured a new dance-film called LUCKY MAYBE. In December 2020, despite the Covid-19 pandemic and his cast and crew in South Korea, the director worked remotely via the internet from Victoria, BC, Canada to create the work.   Suddenly Dance Theatre’s LUCKY MAYBE (Episode 1) was filmed entirely on location at Wauwoojungsa, a beautiful and sprawling temple in Yongin, South Korea. The two central characters named Horangi (Hoyeon Kim) and Gatchi (Jungha Lim) are inspired by Korean folklore and silent-film era comedy duos. Representing lost nature, old magic and luck, these out-of-time outsiders are out-of-sync in a pandemic world. Created and directed by David Ferguson, this dance film features a pulsing original soundtrack by Miles Lowry.     CAPSULE is a community-responsive platform hosted by the National Arts Centre Dance Department in close collaboration with F-O-R-M and Dumb Instrument Dance. 60 short films created by Canadian dance artists are available to experience from May 3 to August 31, 2021. LUCKYY MAYBE has been supported by: The Canada Council, The BC Arts Council, CRD Arts Development, Arts Council Korea, Dab Dance Project, Seoul Dance Centre, and Dance Victoria’s Chrystal Prize and Residency Program.   See LUCKY MAYBE: https://nac-cna.ca/en/video/capsule-david-ferguson

   Chronic loneliness…

   
   

   May 18, 2021 07:00 PM      08:00 PM

   Did you know that chronic loneliness is harder on the body than smoking 15 cigarettes a day? And that more than 30 percent of us suffer from it? Join Club members and friends at this free Zoom talk at noon on May 18 to learn not only how it affects our bodies and minds but also what we can do about it. The Reverend Dr. Eric Partridge became the rector at St. Andrew’s in Sidney in 2016 following a varied career and busy family life. His doctoral thesis was on the effects of loneliness and how to respond. This is an important topic at any time, but perhaps even more so given our experiences with Covid over the past year. You won't want to miss this informative talk by a man who calls himself "an unapologetic story-teller"! Registration and Zoom details are at https://thecanadianclubofvictoria.com
