Artists’ Play
The cabaret style performance series!
A night of fabulous entertainment followed by an open improv jam!
Performers:
Floxy
With her indefinable style, Floxy has touched audiences in Toronto, Peterborough and Waterloo with her big voice and raw lyrics. Between bands, she returns to her acapella roots, belting out her original
jazzy/bluesy/folky songs solo. She is looking for accompaniment so get in touch if you hear guitar riffs in your head when you listen to her sing. Floxy can be reached at floxy111@hotmail.com
“Folk/funk phenomenon mixes mellow grooves and vocal harmonies with tight rhythms and deep thoughts.”
“Acoustic-ambient folk collides with a funk and reggae rhythm section. Atmospheric lead guitar fleshes out an aggressive acoustic, while reggae beats and a melodic but funky bass energize the sound. Introspective music that still rocks the house.”
Janice Israeloff
Janice is happy to perform ‘act 1′ of her show ‘I’ve been trying to pass my driving test since 1978 again after having just finished a run of it at The Slaw Festival. She has been acting for 20 years mostly in other people plays and has toured across Ontario performing for kids, been a clown, dinner theatre, and worked in film and t.v. Her own plays have been seen at The Annex Theatre, Theatre Passe Murraille, the Toronto Fringe Festivals ’03, ’04. Janice has taught acting to children for the Catholic Seperate School Board, The New School of Drama, and Awe! Theatre School.
Along The Lines
Feel good acoustic rock is the essence of what Jason Vanstone has created, “Along the Lines”. This performance of original music in collaboration with members of QR5 will surely please your entertainment cravings!

TERMINAL 5.
|Choreographed by: Donna Michelle and Elizabeth Dawn Snell
Performed by: Donna Michelle
Accompanied by: Elizabeth Dawn Snell and Matt Maaskant
Perception/projection/preconception/past experience…Terminal 5 is a study in baggage. How we check it, store it, wear it, live it and allow ourselves to be crushed by the weight – or strengthened.
GRASPING FOR DISTRACTION
Choreographer and performer: Elizabeth Dawn Snell
Drum: Matt Maaskant
CD Compilation: Ben Bootsma
Shall we reach the epitome of craziness in order to free ourselves from our own device? This piece explores how far one has to go into their distraction, becoming lifeless and unemotional until the breaking point. As long as we don’t forget, we can return to what we wanted in the first place.
After the show join us in a magical open improv jam. Dancers and musicians connect spontaneously through creativity. Sit back and chill, have a chance to chat with the artists and join us in this merriment J
Doors at 8pm | Show at 9pm
