Creative City Cabaret Presented by Left Right Minds

We are a Drupal shop. Drupal is one of the most amazing content management systems currently in the open source market. We use it to do pretty much everything. It is scalable, extensible, flexible, and bends to our will. Every site we develop is built on this solid platform.

We are excited to be a part of the Canadian performing arts community and offer artist management services for a roster of six fabulous and eclectic arts groups. Our artists are Vancouver-based performers who perform locally and tour in British Columbia, Canada and internationally. Combined with our web skills, our solutions are a fully realized experience.

We work with clients over the long term. We don't like to develop solutions and then disappear. We work and plan over for the long haul and create a legacy plan with our clients. For shorter term projects, we provide an intense and complete service to make sure you're up and running quicker and faster.

Working with companies, charities, and festivals excites us. We love to get things done and invite people to come and enjoy the events we help to produce. Getting people together and making sure they are having a good time makes us smile and our clients too.

We have a wide variety of skills to offer our clients. We're not just a singular type of company. We have people behind the scenes that are working hard to get things done and to get it done right. People is the most important part of what Left Right Minds offers. Oh, and we also have a few pugs that help out in many ways.

If you haven't figured it out already, we've been busy. I suppose you could look at our blog and make such a conclusion but, I assure you, our silence has been worth it. One of the cool things we have working on is the Creative City Cabaret! A few weeks ago, we were all sitting around discussing what could the Vancouver arts scene do for the mayoral election coming up this November. The arts in Canada have been a hot topic recently and we wanted to do our part and promote the arts in Vancouver and prove that the arts are not just a "niche" issue. Then the idea hit us. Vancouver had been branded the "creative city" only a short time before we started chatting about an event like this and we thought it
would be a great idea to feature those individuals running for mayor and for council in a way that was fun and creative.

Here is the press release we've been sending around.

Mayoral Hopefuls Get Creative

Candidates Perform at Creative City Cabaret Vancouver, BC - October 28, 2008 - We've been dubbed the "Creative City" and on November 8th at the Roundhouse Community Centre, Vancouver's mayoral candidates will jump on stage and show off their creative chops at the first "Creative City Cabaret", presented by Left Right Minds Initiatives.

Candidates will have three minutes to perform on stage in any manner they wish. From playing an instrument to telling a joke to reciting a poem to tap dancing, this year's mayoral hopefuls will get the chance to showcase their artistic talents for an enthusiastic audience. Independent mayoral candidates, including Marc Emery, Scott Yee, Leon Kaplan and Gölök Buday will be strutting their stuff along with Betty Krawczyk (Work Less Party) and Patrick Britten (Nude Garden Party). The NPA and Vision Vancouver parties have also committed candidates to perform, including the NPA's Sean Bickerton.

"This evening is about having fun, being creative, and showing a different side of the candidates," said Chris May, Touring/Production Manager for Left Right Minds. "Vancouver has branded itself the "Creative City"- they want to run the city, they can prove it!"

The evening will begin at 9 pm on Saturday, November 8th with the candidates performing followed by two questions being taken from the audience for each candidate. After the show, audience members will be able to meet and greet the candidates in the Cabaret's backstage lounge. Admission is by donation with proceeds benefitting the creation of a shared theatre production centre in Vancouver spearheaded by NERB (Neworld Theatre, Electric Company, Rumble Theatre and Boca del Lupo).
