Evergreen Cultural Centre hosts He Said, She Said A
City combines trash with art
The City of Port Moody is aligning itself with a series of arts groups to call attention to John waste diversion rates, while at the same time encouraging the artistic process. The city’s Trashy Shorts Film Contest encourages participants to create a “trashy short” film up to three minutes long that deals with waste habits. “It may dramatize the impact of our consumer lifestyle. It may explain recycling rules in a fresh and clever way. It may cause deep reflection about our role in saving the planet,” Port Moody spokesperson Leslyn Johnson said in a press release. “Your trashy short will help re-energize our campaign.” Representing a partnership between the city, ArtsConnect, the Port Moody Film Society and the Pacific chapter of the Solid Waste Association of North America, the contest is rooted in the region-wide goal to divert 70 per cent of waste away from landfills by 2015. The entry deadline is Wednesday, Nov. 10, and some of the films will be screened at the Inlet Theatre on Nov. 27. See www.cityofportmoody. com/filmcontest for more information.

Move show promises variety
Video, music, spoken word and theatre — whatever the creative process is, it fits under the umbrella of Move: the company. Led by artistic director Josh Beamish, the professional dance company will perform at Coquitlam’s Evergreen Cultural Centre on Saturday, Nov. 6. Two works will be performed, with “Tools for Cutting” depicting a “quasiautobiographical” piece that looks at the relationship between men and their sporting equipment. “Trap Door Party,” on the other hand, is described as an abstract look at six people in their 20s who leave everything behind in an effort to establish their own utopian society. The show is slated for 8 p.m., and tickets range in price between $10 and $38. See www.evergreenculturalcentre.ca for more info.
Pianist wins prestigious award
Iris Hung has taken her penchant for tickling the keys to another level. The Place des Arts piano student was recently named one of four young pianists from across Canada to be awarded Conservatory Canada’s Caroline Conron/ Marguerite Geiger National Piano Travel and Study Scholarship. The award is given to students who achieve top marks in Conservatory Canada exams for their grade levels and, as a result, Hung will take part in a two-day master class
with noted Canadian pianist and clinician Jane Coop at Vancouver’s Dunbar Heights United Church on Nov. 12 and 13. “I am looking forward to hearing what someone so experienced and talented has to say about me and my music,” Hung said in a press release. “I know I will walk away feeling that I’ve gotten a little closer to reaching my full potential.” Hung will also take part in Place des Arts’ Nov. 13 benefit concert for the Scholarship for Advanced Musical Studies. Hung, who will perform Lisan Wang’s “Lan Huahua,” the Beautiful Girl, will be joined by some of the centre’s other senior students as well as the Place des Arts’ string quartet. Slated for 7:30 p.m., the show costs $13.50 plus GST for adults, and $11 plus GST for seniors and students.

small-town Canadian girl, a Nashville-based singer/songwriter and a series of letters on the road — that was the starting point for the duo known as He Said, She Said. Consisting of Ontario native Sue Foley and American troubadour Peter Karp, the group will perform Nov. 11 at Coquitlam’s Evergreen Cultural Centre to promote their self-titled release. The pair met while touring behind their respective solo releases, and began exchanging letters and e-mails once their paths went in different directions. Building on that written correspondence, the two came together to record their debut album earlier this year. He Said, She Said hits the stage at 8:30 p.m. For more information, visit www. evergreenculturalcentre.ca.
