Saturday January 11th, 2025 Revival Bar - 783 College St. W., Toronto Canada United Soul & Junior Palmer Events present ✦✦Do You Love House 15 Year Anniversary Party ✦✦ To help us celebrate this 15 year milestone, we reached out to one of HOUSE MUSIC's most iconic voices: ROBERT OWENS who has been making house since it's birth 40+ year ago. Joining him, we have selected some of Toronto's top DJs who have been instumental in pushing the boundaries of HOUSE MUSIC. Featuring the Legendary: ✦✦Robert Owens✦✦ (Chicago / Berlin) Can You Feel It / Tears / Bring Down The Walls / I'll Be Your Friend music programmers: ✦ Tyrone Solomon ✦ Junior Palmer ✦ Jason Palma ✦ Dino & Terry ✦ Nick Holder ✦ DJ YOGI Cover: $20 Early Bird, $25 / $30 Adv. More at Door https://dylh15yearpartyrobertowens.eventbrite.ca info: unitedsoul@gmail.com Robert Ownes BIO: In his own words, Robert Owens has been making house music ‘before house had a name’. One of the most distinctive, coveted and prolific voices in the genre, Robert has an illustrious career that started in late 80’s Chicago and has produced some of the greatest tracks house music has witnessed. Responsible for era-defining classics such as ‘Tears' alongside Frankie Knuckles & Satoshi Tomiie, ‘Bring Down The Walls’ with Larry Heard as part of Fingers Inc., as well as solo releases ‘I’ll Be Your Friend’ and ‘Mine To Give’ which hit number one on the Hot Dance Music / Club Play chart, Robert has created seminal records which you can comfortably bet will have a place on any house head’s all-time favourites list. After setting the standard during house's formative years, Robert has remained at the forefront of the genre, releasing on labels such as Dekmantel, Ninja Tune, Boysnoize, Circo Loco and HE. SHE. THEY, building an extensive discography of solo projects, as well as a catalogue of collaborations which reads like an electronic music hall of fame - Masters At Work, Jamie Jones, Soul Clap, Coldcut, Marshall Jefferson, Catz ’N Dogz, Ron Trent - the list goes on. What has set Robert apart throughout all these releases, is the raw emotion and passion he delivers into each and every vocal take, providing an uninhibited human touch to everything he works on. Lyrically too, we see an artist who is unashamed in his commitment to spreading the positive values of house music as a medium for self-expression, inclusivity and spiritual liberation. Robert’s unique live performances continue to deliver this message, spellbinding audiences across the world with distinctive DJ sets embellished by his live vocals - a format which pays testament both to his talent as a singer, and his extensive depth of musical knowledge and selections. Having toured the world countless times over, Robert continues to perform at renowned venues and festivals at the forefront of the electronic music scene - with recent years seeing him perform at the likes of Berghain (Berlin), Sydney Opera House, HORST Arts & Music Festival (Brussels), A Club Called Rhonda (San Francisco / Los Angeles), Sound Department (Taranto), The Villa (Oslo), Smartbar (Chicago), Audio Club (Geneva), Plano B (Porto) to mention a few. Press Quote: “Everyone that takes house music seriously should be familiar with Robert Owens” Information Source: United Soul | eventbrite

Improv is a great medium to meet people. We create an atmosphere where we encourage people to be themselves, be positive, to get rid of judgement, to really listen and support each other. When we laugh, and play, the ego we want to project to people disappears and we open up, relax, and be ourselves. Participants will take part in a two-hour improv class with other people. Come and play with other adults. Play is incredibly important. It's one of the only times that we're truly present and living in the moment. Improv comedy uses several techniques to create laughter. These include, creating an atmosphere free of judgement, saying 'yes', active listening, being positive, putting your focus on others, and the importance of play and laughter. Not coincidentally, these are the same things that happen to us naturally when we are bonding with another person. In this class, we'll explore these techniques not with the goal of being funny, but with the goal of being people that other people want to be around. The teacher, Ralph MacLeod, is a co-founder of two independent improv clubs in Toronto - Bad Dog Theatre and Social Capital Theatre. He's been teaching improv for over 30 years. He also teaches these same techniques to several organizations including UofT, Google, Kraft, Shopify and many, many more. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have! Feel free to hang out afterwards and share a drink! Don't use Paypal? Having trouble purchasing? Email us at admin@socap.ca. Information Source: SoCap Comedy Theatre | eventbrite

La Bibliothèque publique de Toronto et le Théâtre français de Toronto s'associent pour créer un club de lecture théâtre. Ce rendez-vous mensuel est l'occasion de discuter et d'explorer des scènes mythiques ayant marqué le monde du théâtre. Avec Georges Som, médiateur culturel, nous essayerons de comprendre les enjeux de ces scènes, de découvrir leurs sens et de partager nos sentiments sur leurs auteurs et autrices. Chacun est le bienvenu au club, qu'il soit néophyte ou amateur de théâtre confirmé. Les seuls prérequis pour participer sont la curiosité et le plaisir d'échanger autour du théâtre ! Le lundi 13 janvier nous aborderons la pièce «Huis clos » de Jean-Paul Sartre. Arrivés en enfer, trois personnages évoquent les circonstances de leur mort et les crimes qui leur ont valu d'être damnés. Garcin, un publiciste, trompait scandaleusement sa femme, Estelle, une jeune bourgeoise, a noyé son enfant et Inès, une employée des Postes, a abandonné son mari. Tous trois se mettent à la torture à force de questions et souffrent de leurs désirs inassouvis. Pour ceux qui s'inscrivent à la rencontre du 13 janvier, le texte d'une scène, fourni par le Théâtre, sera partagé par la Bibliothèque dans un courriel envoyé une semaine avant la rencontre. On se réunit à la Bibliothèque de référence de Toronto dans la Discussion Room au 3e étage. Pour les directions, demandez au bureau d'information.
