The Fugitives in the Culture Lab
Hey everyone!
I have done a lot of things in my life (including being that guy who demonstrates what a ‘Swiffer’ is in the grocery store. You know that guy? The one who spills dirt on the floor for no reason and then ‘swiffs’ it up to show you that the ‘Swiffer’ works? Ridiculous.) I’ve also sold peanuts and popcorn at the Chuckwagon races during Stampede. But never mind.
One thing I’ve never done has been a ‘curator in residence’ before at a prestigious arts center. I think I got this job before they realized that only wear three shirts for, like, my whole life.
At any rate, I’m psyched. The job involves me putting on a show in their amazingly cool intimate theatre space once a month for three months from January – March. So. without further ado. The first show will be…
The Fugitives

The Fugitives are the combined talents of Vancouver artists Adrian Glynn, Barbara Adler, Brendan McLeod, and Steve Charles. A group of multi-instrumentalists, songwriters, poets and novelists, each with their own burgeoning solo career, they’ve won individual accolades as diverse as the Canadian SLAM poetry championship, CBC poet laureate, and a place in the Peak performance songwriting series. But their primary focus lies in banding together to integrate their sensibilities into a dynamic mix of modern folk.
This will be an awesome setting: uber intimate, theatrical, amazing sound/lighting, a killer stage arrangement, beer/wine, awesome raw tunage.
Kids! We are sorry to have left you out of our Biltmore fun last December. To make it up to you, the Cultch (for all its shows) lets youth 12-19 into shows for something absolutely insane, like $2 or something. So for the love of God, go pick up a ticket - it costs less than a coffee. Adults, you have to pay more. But you’re an adult and you’re finished puberty, so be grateful.
Due to limited seating, the show will sell out, so get tickets here:
