As 2018 comes to a close, please consider making a donation to Jumblies to support the next phase of Talking Treaties.
If you attended our Talking Treaties Spectacle at Historic Fort York this October, you’ll have experienced just one outcome of this multi-year ‘project’ that artfully shares Toronto’s Indigenous and treaty histories, present, and possible futures.
Continuing under the direction of Ange Loft in collaboration with Victoria Freeman, we are creating new events and resources to share more widely, including:
- a short film including scenes from the Spectacle,
- an illustrated treaty resource book sharing the knowledge gathered through this project
- an installation featured at the 2019 Toronto Biennial, and
- a creative partnership with Black Creek Pioneer Village
Your contribution will help make all this happen, if you’re able, please donate and Keep Us Talking (Treaties)!
Donations can also be through our page at www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/8766 or via cheque payable to ‘Jumblies Theatre’ and mailed to Jumblies Theatre, 126 Fort York Blvd, Toronto, ON M5V 0E3.

Formed in 2017, The Confluence Arts Collective is a group of multidisciplinary artists who have come together over a shared investment in dignity, humanity, and justice for people experiencing or having experienced incarceration. Currently Confluence offers workshops later this year in a federal women’s prison, with plans to expand our programming into transitional housing.
Confluence Arts Collective creates moments of community convergence, self-determination and self-expression for criminalized people. We recognize that criminalized people are disproportionately those living in poverty, Indigenous, racialized, queer, transgender, women, and themselves victims of crime. We open up humanizing spaces to explore and articulate who we all are outside of, and because of, criminal convictions, social marginalizations, and situations of incarceration. We also have a lot of fun.
The collective is Lisa Bozikovic (musician and songwriter, social worker), Nikki Shaffeeullah (theatre artist, AD of The AMY Project), Sasha Tate-Howarth (theatre and literary arts), Fiona Raye Clark (playwright, lawyer), Amina Mohammed (multidisciplinary artist, DJ, community worker), Ashley Riley (theatre artist, community worker), Sonja Rainey (installation and design artist), and Jackie Omstead (theatre artist and critical prison / prison arts researcher). We are a culturally diverse, BIPOC-majority, queer-majority group of women and non-binary people.
Jackie and Ashley will be discussing the collective’s history and approach, as well as some of the challenges and possibilities of an emerging discipline of prison arts in Canada.

1 month agoEndings is an experimental music-driven performance, rapidly conceived in September 2017 through a partnership between Jumblies and Soundstreams in response to Claude Vivier’s 'Musik für das Ende'. We liked the piece so much that we have revisited it thanks to funds from the Ontario Arts Council’s Music program. Moving from scored to improvised vocals, combining music, movement, words and visual imagery, Endings explores and expresses things that end - whether for better or worse, for a while or forever.
Join us for a special performance inspired by Vivier’s created by Toronto composer Lieke van der Voort in collaboration with Jumblies Theatre's Performance Troupe and The Gather Round Singers, featuring soprano Vania Chan and baritone Keith Lam.

November 8, 9 &10, 2018 7 pm – 11 pm @ Creative Hub 1352 at Small Arms Inspection Building 1352 Lakeshore Road East, Mississauga, Ontario View Map Visit www.smallarmsbuilding.ca/insitu for more info Tickets online: www.eventbrite.ca/e/in-situ-2018-tickets-50980902251?ref=ebtn In 2017, Fire Service Women Ontario approached RDP to engage women firefighters in a creative exploration of their work. RDP facilitated twelve creative writing/recording workshops with 30 women firefighters in Toronto, Hamilton, and Waterloo. The wealth of audio material was edited and shaped by RDP artists to create Where There is Smoke -- an audio-immersive installation featuring a multi-dimensional collage of women firefighters with a diverse range of experiences of being one (or a few) amongst many. Where There Is Smoke disrupts any presumed single narrative of women firefighters who represent 3% of firefighters in Ontario. By making space for these stories that intersect labour, art, and equity, we hope audiences consider the 6000+ women employed during the Second Word War era in this place, the Small Arms Building, as carpenters, welders, and tool and dye makers, and how their labour shaped the development of what we now call Mississauga.

We have some amazing sci-fi films to share with you at BMFF this year! Set in the near future where in-person contact has become extremely rare, ARLO ALONE follows its title character as she comes to terms with her own loneliness. Directed by Nicole Dorsey with a captivating performance by Grace Glowicki, come check out Arlo Alone at 9pm on Thursday Nov 8th. The first time we watched THE VIEW FROM HERE we couldn’t help but gasp at how surprising and unexpectedly hilarious this film is. After a couple purchase a condo in downtown Toronto, they begin to ask themselves existential questions about their origins. A comedic, animated, fantastical opera that will keep you on your toes, this film is a collaboration between Jumblies Theatre, Arts4All, and directed by Sofia Bohdanowicz. Come and see The View From Here Friday Nov 9th at 9pm at the Carlton Cinemas!

#artfareessentials
First day of arts fare essentials training with @jumbliestheatre.looking forward to 5 more days on play, skill building for my upcoming mural mosaic project with @johnsmith.ismyalias. This activity was each group’s creation based on what came out of our conversation on what community arts is. Lots of common elements: love, connection, acceptance, curiosity, being present, being conscious of your biases #community #communityarts

Choral Encounters:
November 5, 2018
Gladstone Hotel
7:30PM - 8:30PM
Doors open at 7PM
This event is free!
Reserved seating available by donation here: bit.ly/ChoralEncounters
Join us for “Choral Encounters” as we unpack the choral form. A medium with deep historic roots, choral music has certainly endured. Why is the choral form so resonant for people, and how do contemporary artists continue to innovate the “choir”? How can the choral tradition act as an agent of change? These are some of the themes that Choral Encounters will explore.
Our featured performance segment is an excerpt from “A Choir of Demands and Desires On Repeat,” an ad hoc choir recalling, reminding, and repeating the demands made by women, and feminist movements across geography and history. It will feature: Annie Wong, Rebecca Zala, Fiona Ray Clarke and Faith Arkorful.
Encounters:
Our free performance and discussion series held at The Gladstone Hotel. Discover and engage with Soundstreams music and artists in a relaxed atmosphere with food and drinks available on site. www.soundstreams.ca/performances/encounters/
"This chorus of women shows us what happens when we combine our efforts and our voices to support one another, to seek out and secure our mutual liberation" Excited to hear excerpts of Annie Wong's work: Join the music & discussion at 👉 Choral Encounters on November 5th at the Gladstone Hotel www.soundstreams.ca/performances/encounters/choral-encounters/

Jumblies Theatre shared Common Weal Community Arts's post.
"My memory with Gerry Ruecker is when Jumblies Theatre touring project #4lands was in #Regina last cold winter and me, Jamie and Gerry went all over the city to take outdoor photographs of many miniatures worlds created in that week by community members. Despite all the cold, snow and slush, it has been fun working with Gerry when we were there."- Adrienne
A HUGE thank you to everyone who came out to support and celebrate Gerry Ruecker at his farewell party last weekend. Throughout the night we had the opportunity to reminisce with people who have been part of the rich history of Common Weal Community Arts, show our appreciation for all of the hard work and passion that Gerry contributed during his time with the organization, and enjoy the companionship of artists, allies, and community members who have helped shape Common Weal Community Arts into what it is today. This photo of Gerry and Shaunna Dunn, who has stepped into the role of Southern Artistic Director, is such a wonderful visual - representing a passing of the torch. We are immensely grateful for the foundation Gerry helped to build, and filled with excitement for what Shaunna will bring during her time with us. Were you at Gerry's farewell party? What was the highlight of the evening for you? If you weren't able to make it, we would love to hear your memories of Gerry or some of your favourite programming he contributed to.
