SUMMARY:A Long Dramatic Pause
DESCRIPTION:A Long Dramatic Pause is a live performance that explores strategies of resistance against ultranationalism and far-right politics through the languages of photography and theatre. Performed by Cindy Ansah and co-developed with artist Erdem Taşdelen\, the narrative comprises twelve dramatic scenes that describe a photographic image\, never showing it directly but rather bringing it to life through re-enactment and visual analysis. \nAt the heart of the photograph being described is a young woman\, a figure of solidarity and defiance with whom the audience can identify. As the performer moves between observing and embodying this antifascist figure\, the narrative gradually implicates the audience as if they had been unknowing protagonists in the image all along. With this\, their focus shifts away from the performer towards their own agency and collective presence. \nA Long Dramatic Pause is a process-based project developed anew with each staging. Every version emerges from a collaboration between the artist and a new performer\, guided by a set of graphic scores created specifically for the work. \nThe first staging of A Long Dramatic Pause took place in London (UK) in September 2025. This second staging at Contemporary Calgary marks the performance’s Canadian premiere. \nFree with registration.

SUMMARY:Contemporary Kids: Creating with Chance
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a pattern-making workshop inspired by Ghazaleh Avarzamani’s exhibition Churn\, Earn\, Burn and then Return\, where games become a lens for examining the systems that shape our everyday life. By rolling dice\, kids will generate the rules to create their artworks\, while exploring colour\, composition\, and ideas of control through playful chance. \nWhat to expect: The session begins with a 25-minute guided tour of selected works from Churn\, Earn\, Burn\, and then Return\, followed by a hands-on art-making activity. \nOur free onsite Contemporary Kids programs invite children to learn about modern and contemporary art through unique and engaging art activities. \nFor children ages 5-12. Maximum group of 25 children\, with one guardian per child. \nContemporary Calgary Educational Programs are often photographed. This photography includes the participants\, parents or guardians and their creations.
