DESCANT invites you to celebrate with us at the official launch of 147, our Dance-themed issue!

Join us on Thursday, January 28 at the Arts and Letters Club of Toronto — one of the oldest arts venues in the country — for an event that promises to be as beautiful and aesthetically stimulating as the issue itself.

Blending muse and movement, the evening will feature a unique showcase of readings, film presentations and dance performances by our talented contributors, guest editors and friends.

Authors Vickie Fagan, Johanna Householder and Andrew Smith will share the stage with former dancers (and current DESCANT co-editors) Nadia Szilvassy, Alex Maeve Campbell and Mary Newberry, as well as Tom Brouillette. Special screenings of films by Danny Grossman and Vickie Fagan will also play throughout the evening.

ALSO! Be sure to listen for DESCANT 147: Dance guest editors Larissa Kostoff, Mary Newberry and Nadia Szilvassy on CIUT 89.5 FM on Sunday, January 24 at 9am. They’ll be special guests on the U of T’s campus radio program Evi-Dance, a weekly program dedicated to the wide, wide world of dance, to talk about our fabulous new issue and its forthcoming launch party.

From our editors’ mouths to your ears and beyond!

This is the first DESCANT event of 2010 — we look forward to seeing you there!
