Movie and an Expert (Osoyoos Desert Centre)
2024-04-06 13:00 - 15:30 UTC | British Columbia
Kiss the Ground with special guest Lee McFadyenWhile dirt may not be the obvious answer to reversing climate change, filmmakers Joshua Tickell and Rebecca Harrell make a good case for the healing power of soil. A revolutionary path, suggests narrator Woody Harrelson, but a solution deemed simple, and equally important, optimistic.
Lee McFadyen
Growing up in Australia on a multi-generational family farm surrounded by wilderness, Lee’s father, grandfather and great grandfather instilled in her a love for nature. Transplanted to the Similkameen Valley in 1970, Lee became a pioneer organic farmer caring for the soil as if it matters. She quickly developed concern for our rapidly disappearing wild spaces and joined various conservation groups. At ODC, she began leading Friday night tours in 1999, accepted an invitation to join the Board in 2011, and stepped into the President’s role 10 years ago. Lee provides a captivating local perspective on the crucial imperative to care for the Earth’s soil.
The presentation is at Osoyoos Secondary School Theatre, 5800 115 St, Osoyoos, BC.

With barely a moment to catch your breath between laughs there is never a dull moment in Derek’s shows and for 20 years audiences have loved him for it, but he loves you more!
One of CBC’s The Debaters’ fan-favorites; people are often surprised at the raw nature of Derek’s stand-up… and how short he is. If you haven’t seen him live before; come out and discover the many hilarious surprises that his in-person shows are renowned for. No subject is off limits and no rabbit hole too deep.

CANCELLED Zelene Rojo (Venables Theatre)
2024-03-27 19:30 - 21:30
CANCELLED Venables Alive! Local Artist Series!
Zelene Rojo is a new Ukrainian-Argentinian musical duo, Kateryna Melnyk and Bruno Bosio. With original compositions and some revisions of existing works, their repertoire consists of a mixture of different styles, indie, pop, soul, and, at the same time, ethnic and traditional motifs from the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Latin America.
The main instruments played by the musicians are bass guitar, ukulele, Arabic oud, and Turkish frame drum, bendir. With lyrics in English, Spanish, Italian, Arabic, and Ukrainian, the concert is a true cocktail of musical combinations that will take us from East to West in a 70-minute show.
The show will contain original songs followed by different modern and traditional rhythms from South America, such as chacarera, and cumbia, authored by the artists performed with ukulele, voice, unusual melodic bass lines that are pushed from back to the front of the sound, and ethnic-experimental repertoire with smooth Balkan and Funk touches that intertwine the cultural fusion of rhythms and genres. Half of the show will be played on the Arabic oud, a legendary and ancient stringed instrument with magnetic and deep sound. Together with the audience, we will explore its sound within traditional Arabic music, and continue with the performance of Ukrainian traditional songs, after which we will discover its potential in creating a modern sound that could erase barriers between styles and genres.
Zelene Rojo characterizes this: “A musical journey exploring the different passageways of the soul, invoking the mystique and sound depth that emanates and emerges between the woods and strings of instruments, the voice, an ancient drum beat, and the modern sound that it has been transformed to”.
