February

Understanding the 2015 Canadian Election (UC Berkeley)

Speaker: Peter Loewen, University of Toronto

Sponsor: Canadian Studies Program (CAN)

The 2015 Canadian federal election was a dynamic affair. Each of the three major parties held the lead in polls at some point in the campaign. However, by the end of the campaign the Tories finished where they started, the Liberals pulled far ahead, and the NDP saw all their previous gains fall away. Why did this happen?

VOLTA Cirque du Soleil (Feb 13 - March 24) (San Jose)

Cirque du Soleil's VOLTA is in San Francisco until February 3rd, and then moves to San Jose starting February 13th!

Freedom is the ultimate achievement.

VOLTA is a captivating voyage of discovery. It’s about finding yourself, and unveiling your personal powers. Inspired in part by the adventurous spirit that fuels the culture of street sports, the show weaves acrobatics in a visually striking world driven by a stirring melodic score.

VOLTA is a story of transformation. It is about being true to oneself, fulfilling one’s true potential, and recognizing one’s own power to make it possible. Ultimate freedom comes with self-acceptance, and with the liberation of the judgement of others.

WAZ, is a gameshow contestant that has lost touch with himself. He’s ashamed of who he is because of his difference. He enters the show in search of fame, thinking that this will bring him love and acceptance from others. What he finds is something else. That fame is not the answer. If fame doesn’t provide freedom and acceptance, then what does? Will WAZ reconnect with his true self – and stand up for all that makes him truly unique? Will he realize that his difference is what makes him extraordinary?

Mouthpiece - Jan 31st to Feb 2nd (Stanford) & March 22 to 24th (Berkeley)

Don't miss this talented performance (from Toronto!) coming to both Stanford and Berkeley!

Created and performed by Amy Nostbakken and Norah Sadava.

A two-woman show acclaimed for its raw honesty and insightful portrayal of womanhood, Mouthpiece follows a woman over the course of a day, as she struggles to find her voice and contend with the formidable shadow cast by her mother. The engrossing work is co-created and performed by the Toronto-based Quote Unquote Collective, the performers seamlessly integrating sung a cappella passages with spoken text and moments of extraordinary physicality.
