Jamming in Saskatoon

After a long and crampy train ride from Vancouver, I breathed a deep sigh of relief when I stepped out of the station onto the wide open Saskatoon prairie. Despite feeling like I just performed teleportation, I had a productive day, first meeting with David Lariviere, artistic director of PAVED arts, a non-profit community-based organization for the promotion and exhibition of the photographic, audio, video, electronic, and digital arts. (pavedarts.ca) Then I wandered not far up the street to meet Kyle from Free Flow Dance for the second installment of the Freed the Puppet Video 3 shoot. Kyle is a wonderful dancer, and captured the essence of the project instantly. Free Flow is throwing a Black Light dance party on Saturday at their space, with DJs and performances and of course, white outfits eerily aglow. (freeflowdance.com). Later on I returned to both spots for some jamming, first to Free Flow for a open contact jam and then to PAVED for their Thursday noise jam. They are, as you'd expect, technical wizards and stream their jams live through their website. Check it out!
