Subject: Invitation to RISE Critical-Reflection session #2 this Wednesday!
Hello,
The RISE research-creation team is very excited to invite the Milieux, LePARC and greater Concordia/Montreal community to the second research critical-reflection session coming up this Wednesday May 12th at 10am.
The event will begin with a 15-minute viewing session followed by an open discussion with RISE’s creative and research crew about the opera narrative and drama, cataclysms, collective fears, speculative research-creation, scenario enactment, and more.
It is open to the public (with consent) and we would love to see you there!
What is RISE?
Reflective Iterative Scenario Enactments
Led by Dr. Eldad Tsabary and funded by Canada’s Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), Reflective Iterative Scenario Enactments (RISE) is a Le PARC based 5-year (2020-2025) research-creation project designed to enact and investigate cataclysmic scenarios in 10 mini-operas.

Below is a video link to Personal Pandemic: A mini-opera-workshop, which premiered February 24th 2021—the first RISE mini-opera (in progress), which was followed by an open discussion. Created and produced collaboratively under lockdown during recent months, Personal Pandemic is an intimate mini-opera that enacts a personal COVID-centric storyline in Montreal.
