In today's episode, join us for an eye-opening chat with Cameron Fraser-Monroe, a trailblazing Canadian dancer and choreographer from the Tla'amin First Nation. From his early start in Ukrainian dance to his prestigious training at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet School, Fraser-Monroe's journey is nothing short of fascinating. We discuss his inspirations in dance and why he chose to prioritize dance over a potential career in mechanical engineering, getting candid about physical and time constraints in dance careers. Fraser-Monroe has performed with many companies including Dancers of Damelahamid, the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, and Atlantic Ballet Theatre of Canada from Mexico to New Zealand. As a choreographer Fraser-Monroe has received commissions from the National Ballet of Canada, Royal Winnipeg Ballet, Whim W'Him Seattle, Ballet Kelowna, the Winnipeg Summer Dance Collective, Artist's Climate Collective, Transformation Cabaret at the Cultch, and both PULSE and Indigenous Day Live! on APTN. For the past five years Fraser-Monroe has served as Artistic Director of the Winnipeg Summer Dance Collective, making dance more accessible in downtown Winnipeg. In 2023/24, he is the Choreographer in Residence at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, their first in 20 years.Learn more about ballet production with us as Fraser-Monroe takes us through the creation of one of his more recent works, "T'əl: The Wild Man of the Woods”performed by the Royal Winnipeg Ballet. Discover the intricate process from commission to premiere, involving rich imagery, extensive physical research, and the innovative inclusion of a narrator to tell the story in both Ayajuthem and English. Fraser-Monroe tells us more about how this unique choice underscores the importance of authentic oral history within Indigenous storytelling as well as engaging audiences on a deeper level.Looking ahead, Cameron shares his vision for the future of ballet in Canada, emphasizing the need for greater diversity and originality. He passionately discusses his upcoming projects, including a fundraiser in the Tla'aman Nation and his upcoming artistic endeavours. Cameron's commitment to meaningful community engagement and his advice for aspiring dancers—to seek inspiration beyond dance—highlight his dedication to creating a more inclusive, innovative and exciting ballet scene.

I hold an MA in Screendance from the London Contemporary Dance School, and am the founding Artistic Director of F-O-R-M (Festival Of Recorded Movement).

She started dancing at age 5 and got super serious about it at age 10. When she was 13, she left home to attend Quinte Ballet School of Canada in Belleville, Ontario, where she undertook her professional training for the next five years. Now an independent contemporary dance artist, she has spent the past 20 or so years in Toronto/Tkaronto and so-called Vancouver (on the unceded Indigenous territories of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations) wearing almost every "hat" a person can wear in the community, (performer, choreographer, administrator, volunteer, producer, presenter, educator, outside eye, probably a couple other things). She works regularly for local artists Company 605, Justine A. Chambers and Tara Cheyenne Performance, amongst others, as well as being in her eighth season as Associate Artistic Director of four-year post-secondary contemporary dance program Modus Operandi, where she has the responsibility and privilege of teaching a small, dedicated, passionate group of younger dance artists.  Kate has taught Yoga and Pilates mat work in the past. She has been a member of Madlab School of Fitness for the past six years.    About Caron:   As an athlete Caron was dissatisfied with the current state of women's health and representation in the fitness industry.  Many training programs treat male and female athletes the same despite the big underlying difference - hormones.  Taking matters into her own hands, Caron has dedicated herself to learning all she can about women's health and fitness so she can support women at all stages of life - teens, menstruating, peri and postmenopausal and pregnant and postpartum - all which require different nutritional support and training stimulus.  Caron is an associate coach at Madlab School of Fitness in Vancouver.

This is a re-release of a CLASSIC Las Culturistas episode: Las Culturistas becomes a true crime podcast for one episode only as Matt and Bowen finally truly take down the notorious and stupid-yet-British criminal who should rot in Hell named Ghislaine Maxwell on the 5th episode of the 12 Days of Culture series. Finally, a pair of podcasters do a close read on the name "Ghislaine". Every letter is scrutinized as the two girls who host as Cultch peel back the many layers that is this bad and ultimately evil first name. Along the way, Matt and Bow imagine what Vanna White's inner monologue must be like, and the two create a play as a result. Also, do aliens exist?

The Cultch is an arts community center showcasing artists and their work in a historic church building. In this episode, Douglas Nelson presents Heather Redfern, the Executive Director at The Cultch. The Cultch is a presenting organization that doesn't produce its own work. Instead, it presents the work produced by other companies. Follow the story of organization as the number of seats they had in the theater couldn't support the organizational growth. Suddenly COVID hit, and they quickly had to adjust. While canceling plans for next year was a painful exercise, it was also necessary to make space for new things. Want to know what happened next? Tune in!

Not this. But actually? AbsoLUTELY this! Bow & Matt are joined by the one true legend Jan Sport to discuss recent hurricane drama, RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 6, seeing yourself edited into a reality TV character, Fire Island, receiving adulation from your elders, and what we miss and don't miss about Broadway. Also! After Jan won this year's Rusical as Gaga...the girls have a full on Gaga moment. They talk the many *faces* and *eras* of Gaga. Namely, Jan's formative culture: the "Paparazzi" performance from the 2009 VMAs. Also!! How "Venus" did not get the credit. Also!!! How the year 2010 was the era when the pop girls were really and truly girling. All this, Gaga and Beyonce's impacts on each other, what we expect from House of Gucci and the filmography of Ridley Scott (should we trust him with the doll?), a moment of Vonzell Solomon appreciation, what it felt like to see Laganja Estranja leap out onto the main stage as the lipsync assassin against the incredible Trinity K. Bonet and this question: Shouldn't there be a MIss Congeniality Broadway musical? If there's a Broadway musical of everything else? This episode? Canon. Jan? Sport. Las? Cultch. You're? Welcome!

We think we can all agree that it was time to have Meg Stalter on Cultch. And readers? This ep does not disappoint. Fresh off a, get this, bad car accident, Matt is still alive to record the podcast and ultimately that's good because Meg is the funniest and gives us all her takes on the Sex and the City reboot, meeting up with LOVERS in quarantine (and also not), and the Scorsese vs. Marvel ugh drama!!!!!!! Also, the impact of Grease, auditioning for a Six Flags revue with "Teardrops on my Guitar", dinner theater, when Meg was attacked by Lana Del Rey stans, how trolls online are literal children, how to let someone know you're not down to talk shit, and self-improvement during quarantine LOL. Also, should we start using "bunny" as a term of endearment? Will Bowen eat his toenails? And a shout out to Chicago comedy! RARRRRR!!!!!! Listen lol

Las Culturistas becomes a true crime podcast for one episode only as Matt and Bowen finally truly take down the notorious and stupid-yet-British criminal who should rot in Hell named Ghislaine Maxwell on the 5th episode of the 12 Days of Culture series. Finally, a pair of podcasters do a close read on the name "Ghislaine". Every letter is scrutinized as the two girls who host as Cultch peel back the many layers that is this bad and ultimately evil first name. Along the way, Matt and Bow imagine what Vanna White's inner monologue must be like, and the two create a play as a result. Also, do aliens exist? If you're doing anything other than listening to this podcast episode today? "Can it, Missy." Alright, see ya tomorrow!

Claire Booth joins host Ethan Astaneh on the Wealth Exchange podcast. Claire is an entrepreneur, speaker, and author of new book, The Achiever Fever Cure: How I Learned to Stop Striving Myself Crazy. She is the founder and CEO of her business Lux Insights which is a boutique market research agency with offices in Vancouver and Seattle.   Claire's book, The Achiever Fever Cure, speaks to a challenge that people of all walks of life face. "Achiever Fever" refers to the dark side of achieving. And that downside is when we start to tie our self-worth and our happiness to our achievements. This fever shows up in various ways — from a strong need to prove yourself, measuring your worth by accomplishments, and persistent self-criticism to being terrified of wasting time, difficulty with being in the present, and fearing you won't live up to your potential.   In this episode, Claire shares the step-by-step to curing achiever fever, and walks through her own journey, and how she navigated out of it, ultimately leading to not only increased happiness and productivity, but doubling her company in size and reaching growth rates of 30%.    Key Takeaways: [:28] Ethan welcomes Claire Booth to the podcast. [:43] Claire explains what “achiever fever” is. [1:18] What does ‘achiever fever' speak to? [2:07] How does the fever in ‘achiever fever' show up? What are the symptoms? [3:32] Claire speaks about her own journey with achiever fever and how she navigated towards a cure. [6:11] How Claire describes her achiever fever downwards spiral. [7:52] Who is prone to achiever fever? [9:40] After her ‘aha-moment' of realizing she had achiever fever, how did she navigate forward (and out of it)? [12:10] How to begin curing achiever fever! [14:05] Is your spouse a good person to talk to during this process? [15:47] When you get to the point where you are open and talking about your achiever fever, how does that lend itself to the cure? [20:55] What our inner critic tells us and how we can begin to eliminate this voice inside of us. [24:28] The importance of consistency in the process of eliminating negative self-talk. [26:26] How did this process start working for Claire when she started going through this whole process? And how did it change how she allocated her time during her day? [30:20] Claire explains the benefits of this process and the incredible results she started to see from it. [34:22] Would it be possible to slip back into the achiever fever if you stop doing the work? [35:35] Why Claire decided to write an entire book on the concept of achiever fever. [37:54] How has this process changed Claire's ability to live in the present rather than be constantly future-focused? [39:34] Claire offers some final few pieces of advice to help you get started on your own journey of knocking down achiever fever!   Mentioned in this Episode: The Achiever Fever Cure: How I Learned to Stop Striving Myself Crazy, by Claire Booth Claire Booth Lux Insights Brené Brown The work of Byron Katie   Guest Bio Claire Booth Claire Booth is an entrepreneur, author, and speaker.

Founder and CEO of her own successful market research company, Claire Booth was driven by ambition and competition, yet plagued by feelings of inadequacy and a sense that she was never enough despite her constant striving. Booth calls this condition “achiever fever.” Recognizing that it was making her miserable, Booth set herself on quest to find relief and cool the heat.The Achiever Fever Cure is a frank, funny and inspiring story of a road to recovery where Booth discovers a more joyful and purposeful life, one that also turns out to be good for business.Biography Claire Booth was a successful but stressed-out market research entrepreneur and executive suffering from what she calls “achiever fever”— constant striving coupled with chronic feelings of inadequacy. Sick and tired of feeling miserable, self-help skeptic Booth decided to try anything that might bring relief, from mindfulness to martial arts, from spending ten days in silence to “smiling” at her spleen. At first, she was fearful that slowing down and softening up would mean losing her professional edge. Instead, she discovered a more joyful and purposeful life, one that also turned out to be good for business.Claire Booth is an entrepreneur, author, and speaker.

Welcome to Building the Fire: Kamloopa - an Indigenous Matriarch play by Kim Senklip Harvey. Come behind the scenes in the process of creating Kamloopa as the cast and creative team talk about their experiences creating the show. Fire is important to Kim's nation and instead of using traditional colonial theatre roles we are reframing the structure around building a fire. So we have Fire Creators, Igniters, Holders, Tenders, and Extinguishers. We are building this together, taking care of each other, and ultimately welcoming you to sit next to us at the fire. Kamloopa - a co-production between Western Canada Theatre, The Cultch, and Gordon Tootoosis Nikaniwin Theatre.

If you're like me, when you start something, you really want to see it through. Whether it's a business, a relationship, or just a small project, knowing when it's not working, and being able to let go can be scary and overwhelming. In today's episode we explore that fear, as Sara Vickruck breaks down a monologue from This, Here, by James Gordon King, playing July 18 - 28th at The Cultch in Vancouver. She shares her own struggles with letting go, including stepping away from acting for a few years. We also discuss rehearsal techniques and how she connects with her on stage partner to bring real, palpable love and care onto the stage. This, Here is playing at The Cultch July 18 - 28, 2018. Tickets available at https://thecultch.com Sara Vickruck can be reached at http://www.saravickruck.ca

We kick off with correspondent Ileana Soza giving us the skinny on Vancouver indie-funksters the Escapes, with a brief digression into horror games.

After a short break, we talk about Boom For Real at Vancity and Theatre Conspiracy's Victim Impact at the Cultch. Assorted musings on jazz throughout.

The piano pop music project known as SYML was born when Brian Fennell (from the Seattle indie rock band Barcelona) wrote some solo material and this music was instantly placed in MTV's Teen Wolf series. After that, SYML released two EPs and you've probably heard Brian's music in many more of your favorite TV shows--in the scene where your favorite couple finally get together or the scene where the serial killer finally strikes. I hung out backstage at Vancouver's contemporary arts theatre and gallery, The Cultch, with Brian the day his second EP In My Body was released. He's a really pleasant guy, considering he often jokes that he's the "sad song guy." How do you say "SYML" and what does it mean? What other name did Brian nearly choose for this project? What strange connection does SYML have with 90s classic rock alternative band Third Eye Blind? What's it like to have your music in all your favorite TV shows? Does he have a nightmare scenario list to create more "sad" songs? Does Brian really have an irrational fear of bees? Why did he cover that old "Mr. Sandman" song? What made him cover Neil Young? Why was Brian once banned from Canada? You'll have to listen to find out. Tracks played on the radio edit of the show... 1) SYML, Hurt For Me EP (2016) "Where's My Love" 2) SYML, In My Body EP (2018) "Wildfire" 3) SYML, Hurt For Me EP (2016) "Fear the Water" 4) SMYL "Mr. Sandman" (The Chordettes cover, unreleased) 5) SYML, In My Body EP (2018) "Harvest Moon" (Neil Young cover) ** 6) SYML, In My Body EP (2018) "The War" NO songs CANCON except **
