Yamantaka // Sonic Titan, a Noh-Wave prog collective, a black-and-white (and sometimes red) theatre company, an operatic psych cult, and the speculative prophets of humanity’s impending doom. Above it all, though, they’re a thunderous rock band, and on their third album, DIRT, they’re the heaviest they’ve ever been.

They’ve added singer Joanna Delos Reyes, guitarist Hiroki Tanaka and bassist Brandon Lim, who, along with the towering drums of leader/artist Alaska B, singer/theatre artist Ange Loft and keyboardist Brendan Swanson, turn the group into an engine of sound. 

DIRT is the band’s first album since 2013’s UZU, their second to be shortlisted for the Polaris Prize as one of the best Canadian albums of the year. The album was conceived as the soundtrack for an unreleased Haudenosaunee and Buddhist themed Anime produced in 1987. http://www.brooklynvegan.com/stream-yamantaka-sonic-titans-new-album-dirt/

The gallery also runs several ongoing projects and hosts numerous one-offs; we are the proud home of Flux Gallery and the Cartae Open School. This Artist Run Centre is passionate about the work being produced by contemporary artists and arts writers and critics in Canada and abroad. Many Canadian artists have shown work at ace early in their careers. We are an established (but not establishment) part of the unique ecosystem of Canadian contemporary art.

Selections for the Regular Program are made by a jury consisting of Winnipeg-based artists/curators/critics, ace staff and board. The ace jury reviews submissions within the context of aceartinc.’s mandate and goals and our available resources. aceartinc. will pay CARFAC exhibition fees to artists; travel and accommodation, one-way shipping and per-diems will also be provided. A writer is commissioned to write a response to the Regular Exhibitions via the Critical Distance writing program, which is published online and anthologised in PaperWait. We professionally document each show.

aceartinc. is dedicated to diversity in its programming and to this end encourages applications from all contemporary artists and curators, groups and collectives in all visual arts media. But we only have the chance to exhibit you if you apply. Please apply.

Manitoba Theatre For Young People, 2 Forks Market Road, Winnipeg, Manitoba R3C 4X1
Peacock Place, written by Sue Proctor, is a wacky collision of the world of social work and legal drama with clown. A burned out social worker, weary of her job seeks out advice from a clown in Peacock Place. She creates an alter ego - a clown character, and begins her double life. The realism of the ‘real world’ creates a logical foundation for the magic of the clown experience. Suitable for all ages.

No matter how much we pretend we’re safe, there is increasing violence all around us. Through a series of thought-provoking disconnected scenes and monologues, this play explores the many ways violence manifests itself in our everyday lives.
Ranging from the metaphoric to the realistic, this intense, provocative, and at times darkly funny play raises complex questions that have no easy answers.

From the company that brought you Rope (5 STARS – CBC, Best Theatrical Production of 2013 – The Uniter) and Orphans (5 STARS, Best Local Production – CBC) comes Tape by Stephen Belber.

Questions of motive, memory, truth and perception writhe underneath the surface as Vince forces long-time friend Jon to confess that he raped Vince’s old girlfriend, Amy. Tensions rise as Amy enters the fray and the three must determine what the past has meant and what the future holds.

Break out you leg warmers, mousse the hair, and get ready to jam to the clean, improv comedy style that is as rad as an after school episode of Degrassi Jr. High. IT’S THE RASCALS COUNTDOWN – a tribute to the 80’s in an improv countdown (they perform scenes, and you vote for your favourites).
The late shows are more like Twisted Sister (no one under 16 permitted).
