TB Weekends

11/10/2019

A glimpse from last night: a cozy winter evening of intimate performance, art makers practicing their craft, laughs being had, cups of coffee, and passed note cards.

We’re back again tonight at 7pm!

“Snow isn’t pretty at all.” - person in line at Starbucks

Come escape, embrace, or deal with the season as you need to! Jonathan and Alicia are already being serenaded during tech ... we’d love to share our event with you!

Today’s the day! We are going to interview an audience member and have them reflect on a question asked by last weekend’s audience interviewee. And they’ll get a gift!

You get an evening full of thought provoking pieces and the satisfaction of supporting local artists. We hope you can join us!

This Weekend: dance, music, collaboration! - https://mailchi.mp/9bc46ea286a6/we-launched-year-670439

11/05/2019

It's nearly time for LOFT 112 to be transformed with chairs, pillows, meditation stools and lights.Be guided through a sensory evening of dance and music by Kara & Distance Bullock.

Here's a little taste of what to expect from Distance:
“Pieces of Bullock's voice came together to form a haunting chorus, which heightened the drama on songs such as "Arizona," whose imagery and eerie sound reminded one of Bat for Lashes. His honesty and the…amount of instruments he had onstage allowed Bullock to create tracks that were equally stark and full of wonder, as he built a wall of sound via loops” – Exclaim, Alana Alger January 2016

We love that we never truly know what to expect every TB Weekends. We can give you hints and guarantee it will be a nice thing to do though!

We hope to see you Nov. 9 & 10!

11/03/2019

We are thrilled to be welcoming a new artist to the TB Weekends line up: Distance Bullock!

As a musician, Distance has toured internationally with Sarah MacDougall, Reuben and the Dark and his own solo work. His music is powerful and rough around the edges, epic soundscapes of looped cello, piano, drums, guitar and his mellifluous vocal range. A self taught, multi instrumentalist, he is a compelling performer and prolific song writer.

You may have seen Kara perform at the very first TB Weekends, and if you did you will be just as excited as we are that she's back with her newest collaboration with Distance Bullock. Their working titles are: Shut Up and Sit Down or Senseless.

“[Kara] has a knack for beauty and poetry. She creates romance, nostalgia and melancholy with the unleashing of a smile, the drop of a wrist, the droop of her head and renditions of cheesy karaoke songs” – Vancouver Arts Review September 2016, aux.la.more Vancouver Fringe Festival

11/01/2019

Here's some things to expect from TB Weekends: November Edition:

- Two artists (Kara & Distance Bullock) will be taking on all 3 acts both nights!
- There will be dancing, blindfolds, earplugs, live music and recorded music, minimal audience interaction and fake palm readings
- Kara & Distance are going to ask audience members to only communicate through writing and leave their phones in a basket at the door

We hope you will join us for a weekend of being present and witnessing new work! Reserve your spot by sending us an email at [email protected] or shoot us a message!

TB Weekends has always split 70% of the weekend's ticket sales with the three acts. The visual artist receives 10% as a guaranteed fee and keeps the money from anything they sell. The rest goes towards covering costs for the next weekend.

We love connecting with you! The community that makes art making, presenting, and good conversation happen. We have a randomly selected audience member join Jonathan for a conversation instigated by a question from last weekend's audience interviewee. Then they get a gift!
