If you can’t make it out to the Luminato shows, or if you can and want a bit more to sink your teeth into, try the fest’s series of Lunchtime Conversations. These free talks with some of the world’s most fascinating artists occur daily at the Roots Store (100 Bloor West).

Friday’s (June 5) chat features the fest’s artistic director and various curators and is a good way to help map out what you want to see. Saturday (June 6), Red Sky’s Sandra Laronde talks about her company’s Tono, one of the highlights of the dance program. Composers Mike Ross, Alexina Louie and Lance Horne talk about setting Edgar Allen Poe to music on Tuesday (June 9). And writer/performer Pierre Brault discusses his show 5 O’Clock Bells, about guitar genius Lenny Breau, on Thursday, June 11. For NOW’s own interview with Brault, see page 64.
