FUNDRAISER and improvised music
Two sets of music, each featuring a new project followed by impromtu ensembles. The World to Come is inspired by Angela Davis on Radical Self Care:
“It’s very dangerous not to recognize that as we struggle, we are attempting to presage the world to come. And the world to come should be one in which we acknowledge collectivity and connections and relations and joy. And if we don’t start practicing collective self-care now, there’s no way to imagine, much less reach, a time of freedom.”
NEW PROJECTS
Past - grooving and improvising with influenences from Montreal to Boston to Norway and back to Vancouver. With: Jaiden Christie - violin Anthony Yuen - piano Leo Courtney - bass Milan Stanga - drums
These Islands Green - These Islands Green is an improvisation-based project rooted in playfulness, collective exploration, and being fully present with one another. Embracing a multiplicity of voices, the ensemble seeks to cultivate a sense of community in which members feel empowered to take risks, challenge the status quo, and embrace the unexpected. With: Aidan Edwards - Clarinet, Aya Nusandari - Violin, Branka Mihajlovic - Piano, Jack Blanco - Drum Kit, Jenn Tomomitsu - Bass Drum, Samira Banihashemi - Modular Synthesizer

About Mission Possible
"Mission Possible transforms lives through meaningful work. We walk alongside people facing barriers to employment by providing supportive, transitional work experience and community for those who are ready to enter the workforce.
Through our Employment Readiness Program and two social enterprises, Mission Possible transforms lives by helping people experience a renewed sense of dignity and purpose.
MP Maintenance is comprised of two teams: The Clean Team and The Core Team. The Clean Team picks up litter and needles in various parks, plazas, and streets in neighbourhoods across Vancouver, Richmond, Surrey, and beyond. The Core Team provides services such as landscaping, pressure washing, window and awning cleaning, graffiti removal, snow clearing, and ice management. Our team is ready to work with you and your business to create a custom package that meets your specific needs.
The Employment Readiness Program (ERP) is open to people looking to get back into the workforce. We partner with you by providing skills training, on-the-job work experience, and support with other employment-related tasks, such as creating a resume and gaining a reference. The ERP functions as a stepping stone into life-giving employment, and a more sustainable livelihood."
The World to Come is curated by Bahar Khazei and Lisa Cay Miller
