This group exhibition brings together projects by a range of artists who all deal in some way with notions of invisible or hidden labour: that is, work that is not seen, valued, or adequately paid. From domestic or care work, to digital and tech labour that is increasingly performed in the home as piece work, to the hidden labour that is inherent in the art world itself, all the artwork in this exhibition draws attention to labour that, although often overlooked or ignored, is nevertheless essential—work that is fundamentally Something More than Nothing.

Organized by The Reach Gallery Museum, Abbotsford and curated by Adrienne Fast, Curator of Art and Visual Culture.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that an actor in possession of a woman’s story must be in want of a wife–to help him adapt it. Charles Ross, (One Man Star Wars, One Man Lord of the Rings, One Man Dark Knight) tackles the greatest romantic comedy: the intrigue, dancing, proposals, are given the one man once-over.

Combining comedy, courage, and creativity: Charles Ross has blazed across the theatre world with his “One Man Star Wars Trilogy” and “One Man Lord of the Rings”. He’s toured the world with “The One Man Star Wars Trilogy”, doing a five-month run Off-Broadway in New York, a week at The Garrick Theatre in London’s West End, two sold-out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe, appearances on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien”, “The Today Show” and “Last Call with Carson Daly”. He did a series of bumpers for an HBO Cinemax Star Wars marathon. He’s played regional theatres and festivals across Canada, the US, Australia, New Zealand, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore and the UK. He’s played to audiences of thousands at a time at Star Wars Conventions and other Science Fiction and Fantasy Conventions. He did a command performance for the cast and crew of Vin Diesel’s film “The Chronicles of Riddick”. He’s hung out with Seth Green. He’s had lunch on the set with Sir Ian McKellen.

Penny-pinching miser Ebenezer Scrooge is well-known across Victorian London for being far more interested in making money than friends. Above all else, he hates Christmas time and its spirit of giving. But on one particular Christmas Eve, several spirits give Ebenezer the surprise of his life, as they whisk him off on a magical journey through past, present and future, to show him the true meaning of the season. From Fezziwig to Tiny Tim, all the favorites are included in DuffleBag Theatre’s exuberant version of the Charles Dickens Yuletide classic!

Run time: 60 min

On an evening colder than frostbite itself, Sarah, Payne, and Pelly wait out a winter storm. Trekking back to Rocky Harbour is not an option in this whiteout.

Based on true events, this psychological thriller, steeped in Newfoundland folklore, will have you sleeping with the candles lit tonight!
