Jacob Wren: Authenticity is a Feeling-- Book Launch and Reading

Join READ Books for a reading by writer and performer Jacob Wren and to celebrate the launch of his new book.

Authenticity is a Feeling: My Life in PME-ART is a compelling hybrid of history, memoir, and performance theory. It tells the story of the interdisciplinary performance group PME-ART and their ongoing endeavour to make a new kind of highly collaborative theatre dedicated to the fragile but essential act of “being yourself in a performance situation.”

About the Artists

Like a Rolling Stone Events | Performance by Experience This

Experience This Live performance in the Charles H. Scott Gallery

Join us at the Charles H. Scott Gallery to mark the end of Like a Rolling Stone: An Exhibition About Rock and Rock with a performance by Experience This.

Experience This is a three-piece blues band, featuring Laura Piasta, an artist participating in Like a Rolling Stone, along with members Jen Smyth and Johan Björck. In addition to the performance, Vancouver-based artist, Katrina Niebergal will DJ.

Like a Rolling Stone conflates geology and rock music, it considers the ways in which two seemingly unrelated subjects linked by the same homograph share associations and points of contact that are both concrete and implied.
