It has been over two year's since Apsara Theatre Company's inaugurating production Someone Between took its first breath in Montreal. Since then, the company has been invited to perform at Centaur Theatre's 2010 Annual Wildside Festival and, most recently, at the 2010 Congress of Humanities and Social Sciences at Concordia University, Montreal.
Having found shelter at a week-long creative residency at Maison de la culture Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, we were fortunate enough to have been given the opportunity to go further in exploration. The focus of this residency has been on the lighting design, specifically looking at its adaptibility for touring. Now with months to prepare and back from a month-long trip to South Vietnam with her father, performer Chantria Tram will be working to go deeper in the images and actions of this story. 
We would like to sincerely thank the director of cultural programming, Luk Côté, for this precious opportunity and his technicians and staff for their dedication and hard work. We look forward to the creative residency presentation of "Someone Between" and hope to see you there.

==About==
I was born and raised in China. Through a school program, I came to Québec to pursue studies in Multimedia and Fine Arts. I'm now based in Montreal, working for Documentary films in editing/post-production. Meanwhile, I'm also developing my personal video/film projects.
Fascinated by and being trained on different art forms, especially drawing, dance and music, I'm exploring my vision and style mainly through time-based media and other form of collaboration.
Living and traveling in various cultures and languages environment, I more and more reflect on my culture from afar, analyze its influence on my thoughts, while embracing other culture experiences. With the enthusiasm on Chinese traditional and ethnic arts, equally on western contemporary arts namely dance,music and films, I then started to search a new identity of self through experimental and poetic imagery. "Language", "movement", "texture" and "color" are my four elements. "Emotion", "relationships", "existence" and "change" always give me questions to searching for answers.
A sense of nostalgic, poetic, classical esthetics combine with the conceptual, unconventional and the avant-garde, I'm pushing my art towards something that's at the same time unique and universal.
Xiaodan He

Xiaodan He, a Canadian filmmaker from China, has studied film production at the Beijing Film Academy in China from 1993 to 1997. She then worked for the Yunnan Minority Film Studio as an assistant producer and an assistant director. Her first short film, Cairo Calling screened in over 50 festivals around the world winning awards and garnered television sales in both North America and Europe. The Fall of Womenland is Xiaodan's first long documentary.

Xiaoping Li

Xiaoping Li was born and grew up in the People's Republic of China. She came to Canada as an international student in the late 1980s to further her study of Canadian society. She decided to stay in Canada permanently after the Tian'anmen Square massacre in June 1989, when the Chinese government sent troops to the centre of Beijing to crash the peaceful demonstration staged by university students and ordinary citizens. Growing up in a highly politicized society, she developed a strong interest in politics and issues of (in)equality, which are reflected in her own study, research and teaching. She has a broad range of research and teaching interests, including cultural politics, globalization, community activism, immigration and multiculturalism, minority rights, and media and society. She enjoys overseas traveling and photography immensely and hopes one day she will have the time to make a few documentary films on some of her research topics. 
During the academic year, 2013-2014, Dr. Xiaoping Li is on sabbatical leave in Sanya City, Hainan, PRC.

Zacharie Fay

Since completing my studies at Concordia in 2003, I have had the opportunity to train with veteran directors of photography (DOP) for shooting on video. In the last year, I have shot and edited a number of commercials, short films and documentaries in Canada and abroad. It is my strong belief that cinema is one of the most important art forms in that it brings together talented people from so many disciplines and its purpose and power can be so diverse and far reaching. I think that with my exposure and training in cinema, my grasp of film aesthetics and analysis as well as my commitment to learn and my strong people skills enable me to be an excellent contributor to any film or video production.

Üstün Bilgen-Reinart

Üstün Bilgen-Reinart is a Turkish-Canadian writer, journalist and broadcaster, author of three notable books, the first two on the social and environmental dislocations associated with development in Canada and western Turkey, respectively on the ordeals experienced by the relocated Aboriginal peoples of Canada, the Sayisi Dene First Nation in Tadoule Lake, Manitoba, and then by Bergama villagers of Turkey's Aegean Region campaigning against gold mining in their land. Her latest book, the autobiographical "Porcelain Moon and Pomegranates: A Woman's Trek through Turkey" was published 2008.
Bilgen-Reinart was born in Ankara. After her graduation from the prestigious TED Ankara College, she went to Canada and pursued her studies and professional life there. She studied Literature and Sociology at the University of Winnipeg. She started working in the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation as a researcher, and then as broadcaster and producer.
In 1995, with a scholarship granted by the Canada Council for the Arts, she co-authored with Ila Bussidor, a Sayisi Dene, the story of the Sayisi Dene First Nation, an aboriginal community of Canada who were forcibly moved from their ancestral lands in 1956, and deported to and relocated in an urban environment. The book, which tells the story from the natives' own viewpoint, is titled Night Spirits: The Story of the Relocation of the Sayisi Dene. The relocation destroyed the independence of Sayisi Dene, ruined their way of life, and one-third of their population perished because of the unplanned, misdirected government action.
In 2003, Bilgen's second book was published, Biz Toprağı Bilirik! (We Know the Land!), on the decade-long resistance of the population of 17 villages around Bergama in Turkey, close to Allianoi, against the gold mining activities of the company Eurogold in their land and to the nefarious consequences on the environment and on the villagers' traditional lifestyle, particularly due to the use of cyanide in the mining pit, now managed by Koza.
Currently, she teaches English at Middle East Technical University (METU), Ankara, and is also a free-lance writer for various portals such as openDemocracy.
In her new memoir, Porcelain Moon and Pomegranates, published in January 2007, Bilgen-Reinart describes a woman's trek through Turkey.

MUY IMPORTANTE, NUNCA NUNCA PERO NUNCA, SE TIENEN QUE COGER POR LA COLA, DE ACUERDO ....
OK, de acuerdo!
== INICIO ==
Vamos a hablar de estos simpaticos roedores. En especial sobre nuestras Jerbos que son Jerby y Jary, 2 hembras de distintos clanes que hemos juntado y que ya se empiezan a llevar bien.
Foto de Jerby y Jary en su segunda excursión al colegio.(Clase dels Ossos)
== CUIDADOS ==
No necesitan muchos cuidados, tan solo un poco de limpieza de su jaula.
Son muy limpios.
== ALIMENTACIÓN ==
Preferiblemente tiene que ser comida como maiz y tambien, se le puede dar un poco de zanahoria, pero solo un poco a la semana, ya que podría producirle diarreas.
== JUEGOS ==
Les encanta jugar. Son animales muy curiosos y siempre están pendientes de lo que pasa a su alrededor. Si los quereis entretener tan solo debeis darle unos rollos de cartón y vereis en que poco tiempo lo hacen desaparecer. Tambien darles un poco de papel higienico, los mantiene entretenidos, ya que lo despedazan.
Si le poneis ruedas, tienen que ser de plastico para que no se les enrede su cola.
Cuando salen de la jaula, se esconden. Si se les entrena mucho, son capaces de volver a entrar en su jaula.
A Jary le gusta escalar. Se escala toda la jaula y se mete dentro. Jary ha enseñado a Jerby a escalar también y ahora son más escurridizos.
