Learning French (How to Kill a Chicken)

“Learning French (How to Kill a Chicken),” a group art project, by Emily MacDonald, Xu Yuan, Camille Dolbec, and Olivia Chow. Upon realizing that all members of the group had different mother tongues, they decided to explore ideas related to language and translation. The video also makes reference to a class discussion based on the “chicken slaughter” controversy at ACAD this spring.

Production at The Works: Long Days with Loverboy

Being a production assistant for The Works leading up to the festival is a unique experience. The production team consists of ten people in total. We complete a variety of tasks that involve muscles, creativity, brainpower, and Loverboy. When we first received our Loverboy CD, it was a blessing as our radio was beginning to fail us. The music of the eighties flooded the bunker and helped our steel toes and gloved hands move a little faster.
