Thursday, July 3, 2008, Civic Square Stage, 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm
FREESTYLIE featuring:
LAL - CD Debut Deportation
Jessica Thompson - Freestyle SoundKit
Grace N' Style - Urban Hip Hop Dance
FREE shuttle bus departs from the Gladstone Hotel (1214 Queen Street West, Toronto) at 7:00 pm to the Art Gallery of Mississauga, returning by 9:30 pm.
Opening the event the GNS dance crew wil be performing in wearable sound pieces that generate and broadcast electronic beats as their bodies move. When the Freestyle SoundKit is engaged, each step the dancer takes a single electronic beat is broadcast.
Toronto collective Lal's sound from the outset was one of contrasts: icy, futuristic rhythms melting into warm basslines and soothing soul melodies, with reverberating atmospherics whirling about the spacious groove. Hints of Rosina's South Asian roots and Murr's hip hop formation season their productions with a taste of tradition, while the overall sound suggests something far more progressive.
The project's creativity extends into a new media show with new media incorporating video images into and interactive stage set-up that pushes the audience to engage of the deep social messages that ripple through every song.

Born to Rock n' Roll
The Mississauga Film Series Presents:
Honeydripper
Wed, June 25, 2008
Director: John Sayles, USA, 2007
Language: English
Run Time: 122 min.

Set in a 1950’s Alabama, this passionate film about the birth of rock ‘n’ roll takes protagonist Tyrone Purvis (Danny Glover) in search of a miracle to save his roadhouse from bankruptcy. When a grand notion of recruiting regional celebrity and blues guitar stars turns into a suspenseful Saturday night he is left with the talents of one man equipped with a guitar like none ever seen: carved from a solid block of wood, and, unbelievably, electric to save the juke joint.
Honeydripper is an inspiring example of the ability cinema has to transcend boundaries of culture and era.
