The third edition of the QDF launch, which took place last night (Monday March 7, 2011) at theRialto Theatre on Park Ave., was attended by about twice as many people as the previous edition, held at the Segal Centre.

Mais ce surnom lui vient aussi d’une chanson d’Erykah Badu. La belle aime à se faire appeler comme ça car, pour elle, une femme doit 
être traitée avec respect et délicatesse. Odessa est originaire des Îles Grenades par son père et de la Barbade par sa mère. Elle vient au monde au sein d’une famille d’artistes et de musiciens. En effet, toute petite, elle grandit dans une ambiance festive et musicale ce qui l’influencera fortement dans ses projets et décisions d’avenir. Odessa remplacera très rapidement ses poupées par le violon, le piano ainsi que la danse sous toutes ses formes. C’est ainsi qu’elle se découvrira une réelle passion pour la création artistique quelle qu’elle soit… Chorégraphie, composition,… Elle développera ainsi très tôt une capacité exceptionnelle et innée pour tout ce qui touche à l’univers musical. Par la suite elle sera remarquée et invitée par le Cirque du Soleil à se joindre à leur troupe.

The play was written during a time of upheaval in Baraka’s life. He was divorcing his white Jewish wife and becoming what was called a black cultural nationalist. Dutchman reflects elements of this personal turmoil as well as Baraka’s forceful thoughts on the politics of race and the emerging of the black middle class at what he considered to be tremendous cost to the black man’s cultural heart and soul.
Greyson says he has managed to shift much of his focus and energy in the past few years, due to his teaching gig in film production at York University. “There’s some security there, and it means I don’t have to worry about having to do episodic [TV], and I don’t have any more meetings with Telefilm story editors.”
