03/10/2015 Ten Women Who Changed Toronto Northeast, Northwest Free



City of Toronto All Events http://ift.tt/1ztsHU8 This talk is based on Pat Staton's recent book "Toronto Women, A Walk Through History". The book features eight neighbourhood walks, with maps and brief biographies of more than 80 women past and present in the life of Toronto. Women contributed in many areas: politics, social justice, science & medicine and the arts. Some are well known but others have faded from sight. Some lived in the city all their lives; others made their mark during brief visits. Come learn about ten of these women in this fascinating talk.

But, as the wicked Prince John threatens all, bold Marion steps up to protect the poor... and convert the thuggish Robin from outlaw to hero. Originally commissioned by Britain's Royal Shakespeare Company, our rollicking production of this 2013 U.K. hit is filled with magic, adventure, romance, laughter and music, performed by the acclaimed group Parsonsfield!

03/10/2015 00:00:00 Two Distinguished Exhibitions: Celebrating Two Passions of British Artist Howard Hodgkin Northeast



City of Toronto All Events http://ift.tt/1K2es42 The two exhibitions celebrate Hodgkin's fascination with India. "Visions of Mughal, India" features historical works from Hodgkin's personal collection. These include stunning elephant portraits, detailed paintings and drawings of flora and fauna, depictions of daily life, royal portraits, and illustrations of epics and myths produced in the Mughal court between the late 16th and early 19th centuries. "Inspired by India" displays Hodgkin's very own powerful and expressive hand and his deep connection to India. The exhibition features eight paintings created by the artist between 1970 and 2014. These vivid, boldly coloured works demonstrate Hodgkin's one-of-a-kind style and confirm his status as one of Britain's best painters.

03/10/2015 00:00:00 Ho Tzu Nyen – The Cloud of Unknowing Downtown Free



City of Toronto All Events http://ift.tt/1ztsHnc The Cloud of Unknowing is titled after a fourteenth century mystical treatise on faith, where the cloud paradoxically acts as a metaphor for both an impediment to, and reconciliation with, the unknown or the divine experience. Shot in a decaying block of vacated apartments in the remote outskirts of Singapore, The Cloud of Unknowing is fittingly flooded with ghostly presences. Ethereal clouds infiltrate and invade the homes of the eight characters, culminating in hysterical confrontations with inscrutable specters. Each vignette is based on characters drawn from Western European artworks by such artists as Tintoretto, Caravaggio, Francisco de Zurbarán, and René Magritte, as well as the Eastern landscapes of Mi Fu and Wen Zhengming.

City of Toronto All Events http://ift.tt/1wjyIT4 Emerging from early magic realism, mythology and fable, from the work of science fiction authors who cut their teeth during the 1950's golden age of pulp science fiction, and from the disturbing literary forays of horror writers inspired by Shelley, Poe, and Stoker, Canadian speculative fiction has begun to move in strange and provocative new directions, becoming something altogether different from its American counterpart and wholly itself. We want to establish a dialogue between senior and junior authors, between authors and editors, and between authors and readers in order to encourage the growth of this important literary domain.
