CiTR -- Arts Report

Today was a bonus episode in which we talk about non-local things, all for Fundrive*!
We started off by hearing from Brandon at Unsigned BC, catch them on Tuesdays and Saturdays for more local music! They are based in Victoria and volunteer run just like us. We then talked about all the events you can attend for Black History Month, ranging from livestreams to guided tours. After we were done with BC, we jumped to Deon in France! They talked about the Cannes Film Festival which they attended and it was such a pretty segment that now I want to go to Cannes to attend the festival. Afterwards we started talking about books. Before we go to Ireland for Normal People, Serra talked about the Storygraph which is a Black-owned, indie Goodreads alternative. 10/10 recommendation if you're a book lover. Our last segment was focused on Sally Rooney's Normal People because it is a beautifully written book that everyone should read and its tv adaptation is just as good as the book!

We started the show with an interview with the cast of "The Most Massive Woman Wins." We then had a review of the preview show of SpinS and THE GREAT CANADIAN P-RNO: THE MUSICAL, followed by an interview with the artistic Director of "The Robber Bridegroom by the Brothers Grimm." And we ended the show with a shoutout to the Fringe show "Inescapable"

An interview triple-header gives us an interview with Lawrence Lam, Jerome Loo and Mary Galloway for Vancouver Short Film Festival, Marcus Youssef for PuSh Festival feature King Arthur's Night, and Aidan Wright for UBC Theatre's She Kills Monsters, followed by a discussion on the same show with Correspondents Ileana De Soza and Shivangi Sikri.

We start off by interviewing the team behind MOA's Arts of Resistance exhibit, followed by an interview with Felicia Wu of Coastal City Ballet on their production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. We close with reviews of ITSAZOO's Wet and Pacific's Tolkien.

We open with an interview with designer Janna Hurtzig, who gives us a rundown on Vancouver's indie fashion outing at First Pick Handmade. An interview with Robin Brunet introduces us to the grandiose personality of Frank Palmer, the Vancouver ad man whose biography hit the shelves in February, while Christine Kim's discussion with Matthew White explores the performance of Early Music Vancouver's Goldberg Variations. We close with correspondent Ileana Soza recapping the Out at the Inn comedy show and Lila Downs' recent performance at the Chan Centre.
