Stephanie Bolster |
Stephanie Bolster is a poet who looks beyond the written word to painting, to music, and to the worlds of photography and science. Her first book, White Stone: The Alice Poems (Véhicule Press), was inspired by Alice in (and out of) Wonderland, and won the Governor General's Award for Poetry in 1998. Her second, the recently-published Two Bowls of Milk (McClelland & Stewart), looks at, among other things, a series of early stop-motion photographs of a drop of water falling into a bowl of milk, and explores the alchemy of creation and of perception. She has a Master of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing from the University of British Columbia and participated in the Writing Studios programme at the Banff Centre for the Arts in 1994. In 1996, she won the Bronwen Wallace Award, given to the most promising young Canadian poet who had not then published a first book. Nearly two hundred of her poems have appeared in literary journals and anthologies internationally, from Breathing Fire: Canada's New Poets to Poetry Ireland, and her poetry has been translated into French and Italian. Her poems appeared at the Ottawa Art Gallery as part of the Between Artists and Writers exhibit, for which she was commissioned to write poetry in response to the work of local visual artists. Bolster has been interviewed for CBC's 'This Morning' and 'The Arts Tonight' and profiled in the Ottawa Citizen, the Montréal Gazette, and Ottawa City (forthcoming). Born in Vancouver and raised in Burnaby, B.C., she now lives in Ottawa where she teaches creative writing and is the Assistant Editor of Vernissage, the magazine of the National Gallery of Canada.

Jean-Pierre Côté, http://www3.sympatico.ca/jpcote |
||
|
Jean-Pierre Côté a étudié la musique au Conservatoire. Il s'est ensuite perfectionné à l'étranger, surtout en Espagne. Il devient ensuite sonorisateur, par le biais de la musique électroacoustique. Il se définit comme musicien au sens large, qu'il en soit à tourner les boutons d'une console ou à composer, ou à théoriser, ou écrire. Passionné de textures sonores et de leur pouvoir sur l'inconscient de l'auditeur, il tente de créer un rapport intime entre le mouvement dansé et l'espace qu'habitent ces sons. Les musiques manipulées en temps réel deviennent ainsi, à grands coups de subtilités, un autre corps. Côté a commencé sa collaboration au projet de la Symphonie en tant que consultant en sonorisation en octobre 1998.
