The School for the Contemporary Arts respectfully acknowledges the unceded traditional territories including, the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish), səl̓ilw̓ətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations, on which SFU Vancouver is located. Echoes of Manyatta Echoes of Manyatta is a poignant, stirring dance production that explores the intricate dynamics of the Karamojong community. Through the language of movements, texture, polyrhythms, call and response, speed, and control, Echoes of Manyatta captures the raw emotions and resilient spirit of the Karamojongs. The dancers embody the strength, perseverance, struggles, tenacity, chaos, resilience, and aspirations of a people locked in a cycle of historical disputes, portraying their daily lives and the echoes of their ancestral land. This performance is a recontextualization of the narratives, movements, and socio-historical knowledge inherent in the Angema, Achemchem, Ayopo, Ekaro, and Naleyo dances of the Karamojong people. It explores significant dichotomies, illustrating how traditional customs occasionally conflict with contemporary realities and how these tensions influence a community's collective identity. The production invites you to experience the deep-seated traditions and the transformative contemporary influences that continue to shape and challenge the lives and futures of the Karamojong people. A Manyatta/Ere is a typical Karamojong traditional homestead built in an enclosed, encircled residential area featuring a small access point for people and a bigger entryway for cattle. It comprises several families and shared areas for livestock. While some of these practices are only performed in their place of origin, others (such as yoga and flamenco) take place worldwide. (Loiacono and Julia1). Echoes of Manyatta serves as the practical element of Edward Sembatya’s research, entitled Performing the Old in the New: African Indigenous Dances in New Bodies, Spaces, Frameworks, and Contexts in the 21st Century. The primary focus of his research is on the teaching, learning, and performance of African Indigenous dance in environments, bodies, and locations that are distinct from their original settings. Specifically, he is looking at the Angema, Achemchem, Ayopo, Ekaro, and Naleyo dances performed by the Karamajong people in northeastern Uganda. His research delves into the themes of interculturalism, cultural appropriation and appreciation, identity, Sankofa, Obuntu/Ubunntu, dance as intangible cultural heritage, decolonization, and cultural deconstruction, among others. The project integrates artistic expressions with academic research. The project provides a reflective and immersive experience, highlighting the trajectories of Edward’s ethnographic research and the lived realities of the Karamojong. For ethical considerations, and respect for the community in which this research was conducted, portions of the proceedings will be allocated to the community leaders.

Thanks: The committees, Prof. Henry Daniel, Dr. Laura Marks and Dr. Maureen Kakiika, for their academic and artistic guidance. At the SCA, I am grateful to Rob Kitsos, Marla Eist, Justine Chambers, Director SCA Peter Dickinson, Associate Director Judy Radul, and the entire SCA teaching and non-teaching staff. You have consistently fostered a nurturing and supportive environment for both creative and academic excellence. Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to all the artists, students, and African-based organizations I have taught in Vancouver and other parts of BC. You have all contributed immensely to this project. I am thankful to the Almighty for the gift of knowledge and direction over this creative path.

George, a gay unhoused man, is desperate to change his situation, while Iman, the child of refugees, struggles to get out of intergenerational poverty. Saša, Director of the library’s non-fiction department, wants to be with Iman but when Cassandra, a wealthy noblewoman from Europe accidently enters the picture, difficult truths come to surface. Our Lives Inseparable dwells on the impacts of absurd wealth and extreme poverty in a time of escalating social crisis. Economic status is embedded in our sexual and emotional lives, deeply rooted in our psyches and relationship dynamics, echoing through the centuries like Shakespeare’s Timon of Athens.

Unreal Worlds and Unlikely PairsWe welcome you to Books of Wonder for a very special double YA Launch event! Journey into the world of celebrity romance and drama with KAT CHO's Wish Upon a K-Star. Strap in for a tale of enemies to lovers set in the world of K-stardom. But that's not all! Get ready to dive into AXIE OH's latest release, The Floating World. Chock full of mystery, magic, and romance between the most unlikely of pairs, it's an epic fantasy you can't afford to miss. Join us to discover:The Floating World by AXIE OH: In the cramped, dusty dark of a land called the Under World, there is a man with no memories. A mercenary with nothing but a sword and a name: Sunho. And he’s just come across the score of a lifetime. Far to the west, there is a mountain-dwelling acrobat named Ren with a past she wants desperately to forget. For the last ten years, she has lived happily with her adoptive family. But that all ends when a demon attacks, killing her foster father and grievously wounding her uncle. In a moment of rage, she releases a blast of silver light—a power kept hidden since childhood. The monster falls dead. Determined to save her uncle from succumbing to the poisoned wound, Ren sets off over the mountains where the creature came from—and from where she herself fled so many years ago. It isn’t long before she meets Sunho and the two begin to travel together. Unbeknownst to him, he’s found the very thing that he and a hundred other swords-for-hire are looking for: a girl who wields silver light. And as the two grow closer through their travels, they come to realize that their pasts and fates are far more entwined than either of them could have imagined. Wish Upon a K-Star by KAT CHO: Marriage is hard. Fake, celebrity-marriage? Not so much. But fake, celebrity-marriage to your childhood enemy so you can save both of your reputations while trying to ignore the very real feelings that are starting to develop? Yikes. Moon Minseok and Shin Hyeri knew (and hated) each other as children. Now, Moon – or Moonster, as his fans know him – is a member of the most popular K-Pop group in the world, WDB, and Shin is an up-and-coming K-Drama actress with the potential to make it to the top. But fame can be fickle. Not only has Hyeri been (unfairly) labelled as a nepo-baby, but now, a bully (which couldn’t be further from the truth). Meanwhile, WDB is drowning in dating scandals and it’s up to Moonster to turn things around. To save their reputations, the pair turn to one of Korea’s top variety shows, Our Celebrity Marriage, where they’ll have to pretend to get married and compete in newlywed challenges and, fingers crossed, make everyone forget about those pesky scandals. But what happens when they actually fall in love with each other? Tuesday, April 29th at 6pm at Our 17th St Store! Information Source: Books of Wonder | eventbrite
