The Shape of Sound

  • Lobe 713 East Hastings Street Vancouver, BC, V6A 1R3 Canada (map)

Each month, fanny kearse & a musical guest meet inside a 4D sound container, where words travel, music breathes & listening becomes physical. sound—at times improvised, at times composed—moves around & through the body, creating a room where language is no longer fixed on the page, but alive in motion.

March 19th - As and When

7:00-8:30pm, doors open at 6:30pm

**if cost is a barrier please reach out to Lobe directly - nobody will be turned away for lack of funds

ARTIST BIOS:

fanny kearse

fanny kearse, a Black-Queer-Jewish-Disabled human, is a recovering people-pleaser & overachiever. A late bloomer, dreamer & community tender, their art explores themes of self-reclamation & connection to land, grief as a guide, pain as a portal to the divine and the joy of unbecoming. In 2021 they won the Harold Green Theatre Monologue Competition. In 2023 fanny published their first book of poetry & prose. She holds an AiRs residency, sits on the boards: Curtain Razors, All Bodies Dance Project and Black & Rural. You can find fanny curating multidisciplinary art experiences on the unceded, unsurrendered Coast Salish Territories where they are living out the wildest of their dreams with her co-creator at life and art, Que.

As and When- March 19th guest

As And When is a duo featruing Thule van den Dam (she/her) and Hayley Sullivan McInerney (she/her). They create interdisciplinary work using elements of music, theatre, and design. By juxtaposing live performance and technological manipulation, they engage with how memories are constructed and transformed and how nostalgia for the mundane becomes transcendent.

Thule van den Dam is a classically trained violinist, composer, and dramaturg. Hayley Sullivan McInerney is an accomplished actor and has extensive experience with using technology and voice in composition. The synergy of these mediums – traditional and electronic, literary and embodied – elevates their artistic expression to new innovative methods.

Following a showcase presentation with Tara Cheyenne Performance in 2023, they were invited back to do a Startle Reflex Residency in March, 2024
