ONLINE WORKSHOP Sound Design Techniques is a 4-part online workshop that explores the basics of sound design as well as experimental sound techniques.
Throughout four sessions, this workshop will focus on working with field recordings, setting up and using plugins, sculpting a sound with synthesis, and exploring advanced audio processing.
This workshop will start with a brief overview of audio software before diving into workflow and the editing and arranging of audio clips.
The Ottawa Children's Festival de la Jeunesse is renowned for its celebration of innovation and the performing arts, promising a kaleidoscope of fun, colour, and excitement for children and families alike.
Embark on a thrilling exploration of imagination with an international lineup of world renowned performances. This year's festival boasts an array of shows that promise to leave audiences enchanted and inspired. Each show is a unique chapter in this adventure, taking attendees on a cultural journey like never before.
On 13 and 16 May, with one-year break, we are returning to the Czech That Film festival, which presents the best of the latest Czech film production and this year with addition of Karel Zeman's legendary classic The Invention for Destruction. That's why our special guest will be Linda Zeman Spaleny, granddaughter of the world-famous director. The festival will take place at Ottawa's Club Saw, 67 Nicholas Str.
This two-day workshop is meant to inspire creators to seek out new methods of storytelling that better leverage emerging technologies. Through a combination of theory presentation, case studies, group/individual activities, and discussion, we will explore the core facets of spatial storytelling and learn how to apply them in your writing process.
Interest in immersive storytelling is in a resurgence not seen since the heyday of transmedia, brought about—in no small part—thanks to advances in technology. With the advent of 360° filmmaking, AR/VR, and spatial computing, storytellers face new challenges in creating content that resonates with their audience. Tackling these unknowns is exciting and can lead to innovations in storytelling – and a solid understanding of what differentiates this new frontier from traditional media will benefit creators immensely.
Come out and celebrate the start of our fifth season with an evening of poetry, prose, music and film. The concept of this iteration builds from the importance of family in Asian cultures, the tensions between blood family and the family we come to choose.
This May, Ellen Chang-Richardson brings together two creators from the pan-Asian diaspora and two creators, not, whose works deal with the notion of family — roots, lineages and futures — to deepen and expand this conversation of intersectional familial relationships and the boundaries, blurred and distinct, between eastern and western understandings.
Wayne Ng and Jean Van Loon will present in-person readings, ViNa will stream in with a live performance from Treaty 6 and 7 territories, and we will screen Desmond Simon's Mitata | Grandfather followed by a live Q&A via video stream.
DARC is proud to present “Foggy: Palestine Solidarity, Cinema & The Archive” in collaboration with Cinema Politica. “Foggy” is a collection of recent short films that stage hybrid acts of montage, juxtaposition, re-enactment and dialogue, exploring the theme of solidarity. The program will begin with a short introduction by a Toronto-Palestine Film Festival artist in residence.
Don’t miss this FREE screening in the Microcinema on May 16!
From 11-5, you’ll be able to come thru and meet our vendors, shop from them, talk to them, get some food from @Trickyeats or @sweetsbynatalya, or just hang out and take in our specially curated playlist by none other than gudlsnr, while @a.j.l.y.artistry live paints.
We will be holding two spaces for conversation & workshopping: the first is open to all, while the second, co-facilitated by @boutadream, is a closed space for Black folks. Swipe for the times for each of these AND hit the link in our bio to register so we can try and have enough materials for all y’all.

Step into the bustling streets of New York City in the golden era of the 1950s, where the worlds of high-rolling gamblers and charming missionaries collide in the sensational musical, Guys and Dolls!
LBMT proudly presents this Tony Award-winning classic, filled with toe-tapping tunes, witty humor, and a heartwarming story that will sweep you off your feet. Join us on a whirlwind adventure that follows the lives of two unlikely couples, each on a quest for love and redemption.
Meet Nathan Detroit, a loveable but scheming gambler, desperate to find a secret location for his infamous “floating crap game.” To secure the funds he needs, he bets the charismatic and suave Sky Masterson that he can’t woo the pious and dedicated Sarah Brown, a Salvation Army sergeant, to join him for a night out in Havana. The stakes are high as Sky takes the bet, not knowing that he may find more than just a simple conquest in Sarah.
Meanwhile, Miss Adelaide, Nathan’s long-suffering fiancée of 14 years, dreams of settling down and finally having a “normal” life with him. But when her chronic cold worsens due to the stress of their relationship, she begins to question whether this big-time gambler will ever truly change.
Filled with unforgettable melodies like “Luck Be a Lady,” “Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ the Boat,” and “Adelaide’s Lament,” Guys and Dolls is a true musical treasure that celebrates the power of love and the triumph of the human spirit.
Join us for a dazzling afternoon or evening of song, dance, and laughter as these colourful characters navigate the highs and lows of romance, loyalty, and the irresistible allure of the Big Apple. With its delightful charm and timeless appeal, Guys and Dolls is a must-see theatrical experience that will leave you humming its tunes long after the final curtain falls.
Tickets Are $30 in Advance | $35 at the Door | General Admission
Voyage, voyage... Plus loin que la nuit et le jour ! “ Ces mots pourraient à eux seuls résumer l’art et la manière du groupe. Tel un passeur de rêves affranchis des codes, Taqsim Driver déploie une passerelle imaginaire entre tradition et modernité. S'inspirant de musiques rares et ancestrales (dabké libanais, tallava albanais ou mugham azérie...), ajoutant par touches finement dosées des samples d’instruments traditionnels (derbuka, le kerkabou, saz...) Taqsim Driver ravive la flamme de ces musiques et les fait renaître dans une fusion subtile avec les musiques actuelles (Dance, Trap, Rap ...) Une énergie communicative et tellurique entre Omar Souleyman, 47Soul et d’innombrables groupes de mariage à l’orée de notre vieille Europe. De continent en continent, le groupe invite au voyage et à la découverte dans une transe énergique et joyeuse. Créé par les musiciens de Fanfare Couche-Tard qui ont tourné pendant 15 ans en Europe, Inde, Maroc et Afrique du Sud, Taqsim Driver sort ses premiers clips et singles en 2023 et entame une tournée passant par Le Canada et l’Europe au printemps 2024.

A comedy play by William Shakespeare. Set in Athens, the play revolves around the marriage of Theseus and Hippolyta, featuring subplots involving four Athenian lovers and a group of amateur actors. The story unfolds in a forest inhabited by fairies who meddle with the humans’ lives.
Themes of love, transformation, and the interplay between reality and fantasy are central to the plot. This popular play explores love’s complexities through mistaken identities, magical interventions, and comedic elements, making it a timeless classic.
Keeping a steady pace is key, but so is knowing when it's time for a change. Momentum is all about finding that sweet spot between sticking to your path and veering onto a new one at just the right moment.
Momentum explores how to keep your creative engines running smoothly while staying open to the shifts that can take your work to the next level. It’s not just about moving forward, it’s about moving forward with purpose and knowing when a detour might actually be your best next step. Whether you’re perfectly in sync with your creative rhythm or you’re searching for that next big leap.
This event is for anyone looking to blend the familiar's reliability with the new's thrill. Join us to explore how to maintain your flow and recognize when it’s time to switch things up, ensuring your creative journey is both steady and exhilarating.
