Black to the Future

/0 Comments/in /by

This month’s artist in residence is Jaye, with the program, Black to the Future:

“Black to the future is a radio show that bears witness to and celebrates the experiences of Queer and Trans Black folks across the prairies. During this show, we examine our relationship to this space. We hear about the experiences of disassociation, confusion, grief, discovery, and joy. My hope for this show is to explore prairie experiences that are routinely erased…and we have a few laughs along the way.”

Tune in every Saturday in July from 3-4pm to listen in!

BIOGRAPHY: Jaye is a Queer, Non-binary person who calls Treaty 4 Territory home. Jaye is a contemporary dancer. He enjoys exploring the relationship between space, power, and the body. Jaye has always been interested in how Black folks have influenced contemporary dance culture. Jaye is curious and terrified of exploring improvisation in contemporary dance; which makes dance a little more interesting. While simultaneously excited and afraid, Performance is their first love. While he’s not dancing, Jaye enjoys teaching youth about the world around them.

Ellen Froese!

/0 Comments/in /by

The Plain A.I.R. artist-in-residence this month is folk singer-songwriter Ellen Froese! Hailing from a dairy farm in the heart of Saskatchewan, young folk singer Ellen Froese is swiftly making her presence known in the Canadian music scene. Whether performing a folk traditional, a rock ‘n’ roll classic with her full band, or her own compositions, Froese handles it with an air of authenticity – all tempered with a healthy dose of humour and self-deprecation. The last couple years have brought main stage slots at festivals like Regina Folk Fest, and tours through Germany’s DevilDuck Records. With four albums behind her, Froese released full band record ‘Fightin’ Words’ in November 2019.

Tune in every Saturday in March from 3-4 pm to listen to her month-long radio show!
