Ottawa’s instrumental quartet Finely Tuned Elephant will celebrate the release of their third and most ambitious album, No Goats, with a hometown performance at The Rainbow Bistro on Friday, March 27, 2026. The show will cap the official release day of the new record, a project that perfects their signature jazz-rock fusion sound with their most technically ambitious work to date.

The album's title reflects the band's unique blend of sophistication and humor. It’s a confident "if you know, you know" statement on the masterful quality of the music, and a conceptual narrative about an exclusive "elephants-only" club where four goats (the band) are in disguise, seeking entry. This playful story mirrors their artistic mission: to create music that is intricate and masterful, inviting and full of personality, and designed to encourage a deep, visual listening experience.

Finely Tuned Elephant is an electrifying force in the Canadian music scene, known for a sound that is both technically staggering and undeniably catchy. Their journey through two acclaimed albums, Perfect Coincidence (2020) and The Fast Life (2022), was defined by years on the road, a crucible in which the band’s chemistry was solidified. Now, after a series of sold-out shows featuring full album performances of fusion legends Casiopea and original performances alongside high-profile touring artists, the band is poised to release their magnum opus.

The creation of No Goats marked a pivotal moment of artistic growth. It's the product of a fundamental evolution, being the first record crafted by the full, road-tested lineup. The new dynamic transformed their process into a foundational, layer-by-layer collaboration, building a sound that is deeply cohesive, nuanced, and telepathically interconnected. No Goats is not just the band's next album; it's their definitive statement, a sound born from a singular, shared vision.

It is 1902. Lizzie Borden pours tea for a visitor, who is obsessed with finding out the truth: Did Lizzie Borden take an axe and murder her father and stepmother 10 years before, or didn’t she? A role-playing game ensues, with Lizzie painting the background of the murderous day, with characters appearing from both memory and fantasy to tell the story.

Did she, or didn’t she? You’ll have to see the show to find out!

From award winning actor and storyteller Pierre Brault comes a three part series of workshops that you make take as one-offs or all three to enhance your skills as a storyteller!

STORY — Finding the Spine

Clarifying what your story is really about! This workshop focuses on shaping lived experience into a clear, compelling story. Participants work on identifying the emotional and thematic core of a true story—the spine that holds everything together.

You’ll explore:

• What the story is actually about (beyond the events)

• Finding a clear narrative arc

• What to include, what to imply, and what to leave out

• Creating meaning through clarity, not embellishment

This session stands on its own as a powerful story-development workshop and is ideal for anyone struggling with stories that feel unfocused or overcrowded. It also serves as the foundation for the BODY and SPACE workshops that follow.

You have told personal stories before, and you know storytelling “works”—but you also know the challenge in finding the right story, structure, and amount of detail to get and hold an audience’s attention.

This workshop focuses on the personal narrative story. Drawing on techniques from live storytelling, performance, and coaching practice, this session focuses on storytelling basics and refinement: what makes a good story, what to keep, what to cut, and how to make deliberate narrative choices that serve both the story and the audience.

Rather than developing full stories in the room, the workshop breaks personal storytelling into its core components and looks at them through the lens of audience attention. Topics include:

Story Structure That Holds

Identifying story-worthy moments, and structural habits that strengthen and weaken stories.

Sharpen without Losing Meaning

The hard truths about how much detail we need to make an impact.

Audience Dynamics

How attention works in live settings, why audiences disengage, and how storytellers regain focus without theatrics.

Voice, Distance, and Vulnerability

Finding the right balance between honesty and restraint—and what stories are personal versus private.

Delivery as Meaning-Making

How pacing, silence, and emphasis shape how a story is received.

The workshop blends short teaching segments, examples, guided reflection, and optional discussion, making it suitable for a 2-hour conference format.

Who This Workshop Is For:

Storytellers with any level of experience with personal stories who want to refine their practice.

Anyone interested in how story structure and audience attention intersect.

Participants will leave with a clearer framework for shaping personal stories that hold attention, respect audiences, and land with greater impact.  

Location: Hintonburg Community Centre, 1064 Wellington St. W, Ottawa, ON K1Y 2Y3 

Cost: $40

Join us February 19th, 2026 at 6 PM for DARC’s Expanded Practice Artist-in-Residence Olivia Onuk’s presentation “Art as Therapy: On Process, Conversation and Care” in celebration of Black History Month.

About the Talk:

This artist talk traces the evolution of Art as Therapy: In Conversation with Creatives, a video series exploring how artists use creative practice as a form of healing, reflection, and connection. I’ll speak about moving from one-on-one interviews to dialogue-based conversations between artists, the challenges of translating intimacy to short-form media, and what it means to document care, process, and growth in real time. The talk reflects on art not as a solution, but as a sustained practice of staying with ourselves and each other. 

About Olivia Onuk:

Olivia Onuk is an interdisciplinary artist and community organizer whose practice is rooted in the truth of art as therapy. Through poetry, storytelling, visual art, and drumming, she explores well-being, meaning-making, and the depths of human experience. Her work invites reflection, communal dialogue, and deeper engagement with the self. ms and memory can offer creative pathways.

She is currently creating work that asks questions around identity, memory, lineage, and how much of who we are is shaped by where we come from.

With a background in family violence and conflict resolution, and over 13 years of experience in event coordination, curation, and consultation, Olivia facilitates arts-based wellness workshops and manages creative programs for individuals and organizations. She was the inaugural Artist in Residence in Government for the City of Ottawa, where she collaborated with the Integrated Neighbourhood Services Team to develop artwork and creative responses to civic challenges.

A Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece, August: Osage County is a darkly comic and unflinchingly raw exploration of family dysfunction at its most explosive. When the sharp-tongued, pill-addicted matriarch and her estranged daughters reunite in the sweltering Oklahoma heat, what begins as a tense gathering quickly unravels into a brutal battle of wit, resentment, and long-buried secrets.

With searing humor and gut-wrenching honesty, August: Osage County exposes the fragile bonds that hold families together—and the devastating truths that can tear them apart. As generations clash and hidden betrayals surface, no one escapes unscathed. Love and loathing, tragedy and absurdity collide in this gripping, high stakes showdown.

Hailed as one of the greatest American plays of the 21st century, Tracy Letts’ August: Osage County is a tour de force of sharp dialogue, unforgettable characters, and emotional devastation. At once hilarious and harrowing, it forces us to confront the messy, beautiful, and painful realities of family.

Content Warning: August: Osage County contains strong language, substance abuse, domestic conflict, discussions of suicide, and themes of addiction, trauma, and family dysfunction. The play also includes moments of emotional and physical confrontation. Viewer discretion is advised.
