FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Jamii and CORPUS co-present The Esplanadians An exciting evening of discovery as we explore the history of The Esplanade and learn how this vibrant neighborhood continues to thrive with arts-based community-engagement projects Thursday, May 23rd, 2013 – 7pm Rain date: May 26th Berkeley Castle Courtyard – 250 The Esplanade, Toronto Jamii and CORPUS are pleased to announce the launch of The Esplanadians at their fundraising event on Thursday, May 23rd at the Berkeley Castle Courtyard at 7pm. The Esplanadians, a three-year arts-based community-engagement project on The Esplanade, has been awarded a grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, an agency of the Government of Ontario. This fundraising event features a conversation with former Mayors David Crombie and John Sewell and architect Alan Littlewood on the making of The Esplanade in the Seventies. This discussion, facilitated by Christopher Hume from the Toronto Star, will help us better understand the vision behind one of the most successful municipally organized inner-city redevelopments in Canada. The evening also features the Toronto Premiere of Camping Royale and Nuit Blanche, CORPUS’ newest productions. CORPUS is an internationally renowned Toronto-based dance/theatre company and has partnered on many projects with Jamii. Jamii’s mandate is to enhance The Esplanade neighborhood’s vitality by organizing arts-based, community-engagement projects and events on Crombie Park. The evening will be an opportunity to discover the first Jamii/CORPUS project funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation, Reflections of The Esplanade, an inspiring photo exhibition by local youth and one of Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival’s open exhibitions. Jamii and CORPUS are working together to produce projects and events that bring the community together around the arts, to foster a sense of pride and belonging to The Esplanade, to offer opportunities for social interaction, and to encourage people to (re)claim ownership of public space. Tickets $50 + HST Each ticket allows one accompanying child under 15 for free and a partial charitable receipt. All proceeds go to arts-based community-engagement projects on The Esplanade.
