Guns, muskets firing, marching men in kilts, veterans and Remembrance Day ceremonies and beer in a football stadium… what could be better?

I have never been to a military tatoo at Edinburgh Castle, but after watching the video of the 78th Fraser Highlanders “Salute to the Veterans” at BC Place, during the Nov. 3rd BC Lions half-time show… and feeling the stirring sounds of bagpipes… I could well imagine.  I shoulda been there!!!

Maybe if I buy a new Roland electronic accordion with MIDI bagpipe simulations – I could join the 78th Fraser Highlanders.  Except my kilts are the Ancient Fraser of Lovat and the modern Fraser Hunting Tartan.

My friend Louise Lindgard, Vol. Sgt with the 78th Fraser Highlanders sent me the following account:

“The 78th Fraser Highlanders
participated last Saturday (Nov. 3, 2007) in the BC Lions Salute to the Veterans
which was held during the half-time show at BC Place Stadium.  The
half-time show was a tribute to our veterans and serving Canadian Forces
personnel.

The Hon. Greg Thompson, Minister of Veterans Affairs,
joined 1,000 people (veterans, cadets, Canadian Forces personnel, massed bands,
pipes and drums) to march on the field at half-time for a performance honouring
our veterans and Canadian Forces personnel.  The cadets unfolded a giant
Canadian flag and veterans who were unable to march were driven onto the field
in vintage cars.”

The attached video was made predominantly for the 78th Fraser
Highlanders as a promotional video as our Honour Guard fired some musket
volleys during the performance, which is always a crowd-pleaser.  Please
feel free to include it if you think it is appropriate and, if so, please give
credit to Paul Keenleyside as he shot the video.  Thanks.

I also attach four photos
of the 78th Fraser Highlanders courtesy of Vincent Chan at www.invisionation.com – so please
also include his name and website in the credits for the photos, if you use
them.

Vancouver Chinese Music Ensemble
Autumn Concert
Friday, November 9, 2007 at 8pm
Norman Rothstein Theatre
950 West 41st Avenue (at Oak)

What happens when you take 5 very talented classically trained Chinese musicians and mix them up with composer/guitarist John Oliver, who likens his style to “an experimental mix inspired by John McLaughlin, Pat Methany
Group, Robert Fripp, and World Music, processed through computer
granular synthesis?”

All
these musicians are incredible solo artists in their own right. 
VCME leader and erhu player Ji-Rong Huang can often be found sometimes
at the Dr. Sun Yat Sen Gardens playing his “chinese violin” with
accompanying tracks on a cd player.  One time I discovered him
playing Hungarian Dance #5 – and I thought it would be great if we
could play together if I brought over my accordion.

Zhi Min Yu
is also the duet partner of John Oliver for their guitar / roan duo
when they perform together as the Oliver Yu Duo.  Zhi Min has also
performed with the Silk Road Music Ensemble and appeared in the CBC
television performance special “Gung Haggis Fat Choy” in 2004 and 2005.

Zhong
Xi Wu plays suona – an ancient Chinese reed pipe instrument.  But
I have also seen Zhong Xi perform bagpipes, and he performed in 2005 at
Gung Haggis Fat Choy with his wife Karen Wong.

Also performing
as part of VCME are Wei Li on zheng (Chinese zither), Qing Hua Zhen on
yangqin (Chinese hammered dulcimer) and Angela Wang on pipa (Chinese
lute) and vocal.

Guest artists artists include Kathryn Cernauskas (who performed at last
year's Gung Haggis Fat Choy dinner) on flute, Laurence Mollerup on bass
and Bruce Henczel on percussion and marimba + John Oliver on MIDI
guitar.

Check out these amazing musicians and find out how East-West musical fusion blends with traditional Chinese music!

Origami Conference come to Vancouver…
 
The best folders such as as Eric Joisel and Robert Lang have come to Vancouver – home of origami master Joseph Wu

Musicians designed & folded by Eric Joisel. Photo courtesy of Joseph Wu.

I learned how to fold origami as a child.  First I folded hats and fish and boats… then I folded cranes and frogs.  By the age of 12, I was folding intricate dragons and reindeer…. then a unicorn from a single piece of paper.

November 9-11 is the Pacific Origami Conference at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver.

ORIGAMI MASTERS is incredible display of over 100 origami pieces created, designed and folded by Origami Masters from 10 different countries. It will be at the Pendulum in the HSBC Building (855 West Georgia) from Oct. 29th and has been extended to November 17th. 

The viewing hours are:

  • Monday to Wednesday: 9 am to 6 pm
  • Thursday & Friday: 9 am to 9 pm
  • Saturday: 9 am to 5 pm
  • Sunday: closed

20071102_171115 Here are some of Eric Joisel's models.

Check out pictures at the Pendulum Gallery on the PCOC 2007 Flickr gallery!

My library friend Yukiko Tosa is one of the conference organizers and she says that the best day to attend is Sat. Nov. 10th from 9 am -6 pm. These are origami models folded by our Conference Attendees coming from all over the world.  All these exhibits are free to the public. She has sent posters to each branch, Fine Arts and the Children's Library. 

Yukiko writes:
My favourite story right now is about Sam Thomas who is a
'Wishing Star' recipient.  The Hotel is treating him royally as they
should but you can read his mother's wonderful web update about him at:

Ruth Ozeki  was the 2007 author for the One Book One Vancouver program at the Vancouver Public Library, launching in May.  Shaena Lambert is also an incredibly gifted and moving writer.

We are beginning our next phase of fundraising to preserve and restore the house to it's 1942 character, when Joy lived at the house, before the family was sent to WW2 internment camps at Slocan, and before the house was confiscated by the Canadian government.

And… Joy Kogawa has suprised her friends and family in Metro Vancouver by popping into town last week to help celebrate her daughter's birthday….   She will attend our Nov 10th special reading event.  Yipppeee!!!!

Barb Waldern October Report from Korea : teaching English and visiting Korean festivals

Barb Waldern October Report from Korea : teaching English and visiting Korean festivals

Barbara Waldern is a Vancouverite teaching English in a small town in South Korea.  She joined the Gung Haggis Fat Choy dragon boat team last year, and she loves exeriencing Vancouver's multicultural community activities.  She moved to Korea in July.  Now she is an ethnic minority in a foreign country.  She sends this report:

Greetings, all!
 
October has flewn by. Chilly breezes amid sweet warm sunshine as the autumn progresses. 'Tis a
season of change full of festivity and calamity, new friends and more learning, new colours and new places.
 
The
job was getting increasingly unpleasant. Managed to shake it off at
last. Dicey because a former boss can make trouble in a small town.
Awaiting visa renewal, which will require a short trip to Japan so as
to re-enter the country compliments my new boss. Native speakers of
English in high demand and schools plentiful so therefore I've had some
choice.
 
Was getting creepy at the house.
The humidity that extended through September caused moulds to grow. The
house is getting renovated. Everyone else had left. (Many teachers
turned tail and ran home!)
 
Ended up in a new
apartment near a busy and popular shopping district off a main road.
(See attached photo of view from my pad.) It feels like a motel. But
breaking it in. I get to enjoy the fresh air of a village just a short
bus ride away outside Masan called Samgyae. People very down to earth
and friendly.
 
Will
teach at 2 small schools that belong to a chain operation. This time
'round, I'll be the only foreign teacher on staff. I'm replacing a
Korean teacher who speaks English fluently; she's helping me get
acquainted this week. Afternoon schedule: no more split shift. – no more
kindergarten.  I still get to enjoy the younger kids because the
classes are comprised of elementary and “middle school” students.
Mostly beginners of English language learning. A little more pay. I
have more control over my work. Not too much prep.Top boss a wonderful
woman. I must get to know the male directors of the local schools where
I'll be teaching.
 
The Canadian Embassy is
hosting a Q&A to Korean government speakers about working and
living in Korea. I plan to go. It is in Busan later this month.
 
I'm
continuing to learn Korean and the new employment will probably force
me to practice it more. Actually, it's simpler than English. No
conjugations! Just a different verb ending for each tense to attach to
the root. No articles! And nobody cares about pluralization when
speaking! And you get to drop the pronouns a lot of the time. So
grammar a snap. Now, pronunciation's a different matter. In English,
for example, we have soft and hard consonants. Did you know that
there's a third kind of pronunciation of consonnnts in Korean? English
speakers can't even hear it! Of course, there's a lot of vocab to
remember.
 
There
are many festivals happening. I've been to the parsimmons festival in
Jinyeong village, the chrysanthemum fest in Masan (see photo of me
attached here), and a cultural festival in Busan. It is still fairly
warm during the day (20s) while it cools down over night (18ish). Some
folks here say it is cooler than usual for early November. Light
jackets or sweaters only. Weather has become quite dry. Ironic that I'm
actually thinking of getting a humidifier consider the extreme humidity
of the summer.
 
I'm
on a new one-year contract. Fingers crossed, the new visa will go
smoothly and I'll adapt with little difficulty to the new school.
Completion would forecast a return to Canada in November, 2008. In the
meantime, I will be considering prospects in the public schools around
here. The recruitment period begins in December and new teachers are
hired for March. However, schools in Masan are somewhat resistant to
the presence of foreign teachers in their classes. Sometimes, a foreign
teacher only teaches the Korean teachers of English! This attitude
would explain some of the kinds of difficulties in renewing teachers'
visas through the Masan immigration office.
 
“Que sera, sera!”
 
My best wishes to everyone.

Vancouver Recital Society
Chan Centre, UBC

Maori folk songs and the best of classical voice and opera singing.  I first saw Kiri Te Kanawa perform in 1986, the weekend that Princess Diana and Prince Charles came to Vancouver.  Okay… it wasn't the same night.  But the event was still magic.  She is a wonderful singer… and better looking than Pavarotti.  Her last Vancouver performance was 1993 at Deer Lake.  More tickets now available with the move from the Orpheum Theatre to two nights at the Chan Centre.  Here is last night's review from the Vancouver Sun:

TRIASPORA: artistic telling of Chinese Canadian history through music, dance and multimedia


Triaspora (with Orchid Ensemble, Moving Dragon Dance)
September 21 and 22, 7:30pm
Telus Studio Theatre, Chan Centre at UBC

I am really looking forward to this exploration of Chinese Canadian history.  Lan Tung and the Orchid Ensemble are incredible musicians and I have enjoyed their performances this past year, especially performing flamenco music with Mozaico Flamenco.  Lan first told me about this project last year, as she was actively engaged in searching out images of old Canadian Chinatowns – particularly Nanaimo.

This production has been previewed recently by both the Vancouver Sun East meets West in three ways in mixing Triaspora and twice in the Georgia Straight with Janet Smith's Dance | Critics' Picks: Dancers spin visions of angst and beauty …and Alex Varty's Arts Features | A whole new breed

I am particularly excited becasue Lan Tung the leader of Orchid Ensemble, Moving Dragon's Chengxin Wei and composer Jin Zhang, are all immigrants to Canada.  I have heard many immigration stories about the Chinese coming to Canada from  many Chinese-Canadian pioneer descendants (and have also been telling them in the CBC documentary Generations: The Chan Legacy), so it will be refreshing to witness the production with fresh eyes and ears of these newcomers.

Telus Studio Theatre, Chan Centre at UBC

Stories of Chinese Canadians come to life in Triaspora, featuring music by the Orchid Ensemble, dance by Moving Dragon and multimedia performance by Aleksandra Dulic and Kenneth Newby

Inspired by real life stories collected from personal interviews and archives, Triaspora explores
the Chinese Canadian experience, incorporating Asian traditions with
contemporary expression, filling the Chan Centre with an exhilarating
mix of style, movement and sound.  Triaspora
draws on numerous insightful interviews from different generations of
Chinese Canadians, while examining the search for cultural identity and
social acceptance.
 
The collaborative ensemble injects the work with their various
artistic talents. Moving Dragon, founded by Chengxin Wei and Jessica Jone, punctuates Chinese dance tradition with contemporary
thought and movement; The Orchid Ensemble combines Chinese traditional
musical instruments with western percussion, performing original scores
by Canadian composers Michael Vincent, Jin Zhang, Mark Armanini and Ya-wen Wang; and leading media artists Kenneth Newby and Aleksandra Dulic punctuate the space with their interactive multimedia exhibit.
 
Triaspora not only reflects
the crossing of three disciplines (music, dance and multimedia), but
also incorporates the three themes (fire, water and travel). These themes inspire many layers of meaning to the overall collaborative work. In Triaspora, water, which at one time used to cover Vancouver¡¦s Chinatown and was
also the only medium to carry immigrants to the new country, symbolizes
their emergence from a repressed world to a new frontier. Like water,
which changes its form in natural cycles, the Chinese community
continues to transform and renew with each generation. The theme of
fire takes inspiration from a major fire that burned Nanaimo Chinatown
to the ground in 1960.  Fire also represents struggle, hardship and the
opportunity for regeneration and rebirth. Traveling
is a familiar reality for the immigrant generation. Canada¡¦s economic
lifeline – highway 401 and Steve Reich¡¦s famous composition Different Trains inspired the music for the final theme in the piece.
 
Triaspora will
be performed on Friday, September 21 and Saturday, September 22 (with
Reception to follow) at the Chan Centre at UBC Telus Studio Theatre.

Assaulted Fish… Vancouver Asian Canadian Theatre presents the Henry David Hwang play Bondage… and something called Deep-Fried Curry Perogies…

I just saw Assaulted Fish performing at the Sept 7th Reconciliation Dinner at Floata Restaurant.  And they were bang-on funny… poking lots of fun at multicultural stereotypes and characters like Jacky Chan.

David Henry Hwang is North America's most successful Asian-American playwright.  I have seen his plays FOB, M. Butterfly and Golden Child performed in Vancouver… so I can't miss Bondage.

I eat perogies… I put curry on my popcorn… I deep fry haggis wrapped in won ton dumplings… gotta go!
