x: where our paths cross is a performance of visiting, trust and otherwise possibilities. In it, Peter Morin (Tahltan, French Canadian) and Leah Decter (Jewish-Canadian white settler) mark the crossing of paths across time, territories and ancestries through reading aloud as an assertion of Indigenous sovereignty and listening-while-drawing as a practice of white-setter accountability.

What is Canadian? Popular Music and National Identity | Judith Klassen
Thursday, April 23 | 4 p.m.

How does a museum decide which songs, stories, and artifacts define a nation? Join Dr. Brian Fauteux in conversation with Dr. Judith Klassen, Curator of Music and Performing Arts at the Canadian Museum of History. They’ll discuss the challenges of curating popular music, from Mitsou to Indigenous soundscapes, and ask what it means to archive the 'sound' of Canada.

Join us this Saturday for:

Opera at the Improv
Saturday April 11 | 8 p.m.
Convocation Hall

Come for the high-notes, stay for the completely accidental plotlines! Join us for a night of improvised madness where student opera meets musical theatre, and absolutely nothing is rehearsed. (Well, maybe a little bit rehearsed). It’s chaotic, it’s dramatic, and it’s the perfect send off for our talented senior class!

“Don’t worry, we’ll make it up as we go!"

Pay-what-you-can tickets available online and at the door!
