1. WORKSHOP: Intensive Performance Art Workshop with Sylvie Tourangeau
Dates: August 23 – 27, 2011

Intensive Performance Art Workshop with Sylvie Tourangeau
DATES: August 23 - 27, 2011 (5 days)
PLACE: Gibraltar Point, Toronto Island 443 Lakeshore Avenue, Toronto
COST: $400 ($80 per day x 5 days)
PARTICIPANTS: 8

This collective, experimentation workshop is being offered to artists who are interested performance as a means of expression. Through a gradual yet intensive learning process, this workshop will introduce participants to what is involved in the creation of a live action piece. Participants will work on presence, precision of intention and direct channeling practices, eventually working with more personalized, unpredictable and precise performative actions and structures.
 
The workshop will focus on various exercises such as centering, observation, energy storing and intensity channeling, mock performances, individual activities and short solo and group presentations.  The intention of this workshop is enable the participants to develop a distinctive practice by thus learn to:
-Understand some basic principles of performance
-Manifest an authentic presence
-Communicate in accordance with performance art practice
-Personalize their approach by combining movements, words, images, objects, words, sound research etc.
This workshop aims to inspire the artistic process of each participant, regardless of their discipline and their artistic creation interests.
 
GENERAL METHODOLOGY
Thanks to a progressive learning process, hands-on exercises, presentations with instructions, dynamic feedback, constructive commentaries, individual coaching before the group, and analysis of basic principles, the participants will discover how to be conscious of the present moment, and experience various states of mind in the context of structuring performative actions.
 
PEDAGOGICAL APPROACH
A highly regarded pioneer of performance art in Quebec, Sylvie Tourangeau has developed an active pedagogical approach intricately linked with her artistic research by giving form to notions such as dynamic motivation-connection-amplitude-action, inter-action, underlying self-coherence, etc.
 
The distinctiveness of Sylvie Tourangeau’s teaching comes from over twenty-five years experience as an instructor of intensive performance art workshops during which she acquired a specialized expertise in the performative mode. This performer-teacher pays particular attention to each participant’s singularity and thus concentrates on the development of a distinct artistic work process.
 
“Let your own performative attitude go into action before establishing a relationship with the performer who you are.”
 
BIOGRAPHIC NOTE ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR 
Sylvie Tourangeau, who has been active in performance art since 1978, is interested in the unfolding of performative consciousness through minimal actions, which amplify the quality of presence, underpin intensity and personify the connection with the viewer. Performance, relational art, occasional ritual and workshop teaching are practices she has carried out for nearly 30 years. She has collaborated in the creation of artist books and written over thirty articles.

GENERAL INFORMATION
As there are no bedrooms available at Gibraltar Point for this time period and the facilities at the residency will be restricted to those staying on the Island, participants should bring own food to the Island each day.
Using a bicycle to get on and of the Island is also highly recommended.

To secure your spot, a $50 deposit is required before August 1, 2011.

Fylkingen, Söder Mälarstrand 27

Performance from:
Marylin Arsem (USA)
He Chengyao (China)
BBB Johannes Demling (Germany)
Presentation av Life Action Göteborg by Jonas Stampe
Curator: Jonas Stampe

Marilyn Arsem creates performances working in response to the physical space and social uses of a location, using materials found on site. Since 1975, she has performed throughout North and South America, Europe, Asia, and in the Middle East. She is founder of Mobius, Inc. in Boston, an interdisciplinary collaborative of artists working in all media. She teaches performance at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

He Chengyao
“In my live art of the past few years, I have been using art as a  healing process, like the concept of spiritual catharsis in psychology.  The work explores how art can act as a healing agent, and at the same  time attempts to discover material transformation of the body from the  past to the present. I try to use process based interactive methods to  give audiences different kinds of experiences, and to convey how the  material and immaterial worlds can coexist within the context of personal and conceptual interaction”. ~He Chengyao http://www.hechengyao.net

BBB Johannes Deimling
BBB Johannes Deimling, Germany 1969, conceptualize an image of our society, which shows it full of contradictions, sentimentally, stupidly  and badly, but also affectionately, creatively and cooperatively. "Performance art povera" declared the artist a part of its ephemeral works, which gives a clear and concentrated image, because of the  austere and purposeful use of the material. The frequent use of food in  the performances points a clear aspect to the everyday life, which  refers in Deimling's work often humorously to the caducity of our  existence. http://www.bbbjohannesdeimling.de

Jonas Stampe presents Live Action Gothenburg, an established annual event on the international performance art scene. The 6th edition of the festival will take place from the 26th to the 28th of May at the Museum of World Culture as well as outdoors in downtown Gothenburg at Kungsportsplatsen and Brunnsparken.

8. EVENT: PSi Conference 2012
Dates: May 25 – 29, 2011; Source: PSi

Performance Studies International Conference #17
May 25 – 29, Utrecht, The Netherlands

Camillo 2.0: Technology, Memory, Experience is an initiative of Theatre Studies at Utrecht University and the theatre festival Festival a/d Werf. This conference takes place from 25 to 29 May 2011 in Utrecht, the Netherlands.

Camillo 2.0: Technology, Memory, Experience combines science, scholarly pursuit and art in an exciting five-day programme of lectures, presentations of current research (both theoretical and practical), performances, debates, workshops, as well as so-called ‘shifts’ (hybrid programme components introduced by participants or initiated by the organisers which pave the way to unconventional types of presentations). The programme combines the most productive elements of international theory and practice to ensure maximum interaction between scholars and artists. In this way, the conference highlights cutting-edge research whilst allowing for structured dialogues in different shapes and forms.

Performance Studies international (PSi)
PSi is the largest international organisation in the field of Performance Studies. Performance Studies is a field of research that can be better described as an interactive web between multiple disciplines rather than a closely demarcated discipline in itself. Originally branched off from Theatre Studies, in the past decades Performance Studies has developed as an umbrella term for research engaged with a wide variety of topics from the perspective of performance and performativity. The research conducted under this umbrella term is interdisciplinary per definition and is strongly rooted in the interaction between theory and practice. PSi represents this field and stimulates its development among others through the organisation of yearly conferences. These conferences are initiated by PSi’s Board of Directors but are thematically designed and executed by an organisation that changes each year. PSi supports the local organisation through advice and by disseminating know-how.

TIGHTROPE
Buddies in Bad Times Theatre presents the world premiere of Tightrope.
Created and Performed by 2boys.tv (Stephen Lawson and Aaron Pollard)
With Alexis O'Hara and Radwan Ghazi Moumneh
Featuring special guest performers

May 26 - June 5, 2011

International cabaret sensations 2boys.tv embarked on a quest to confront their own relationship to a lost generation. Their journey led them to Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Mexico, to the unique but intertwined stories of individuals and cultures threatened by the suppression and revision of memory. At home, haunted by phantoms of a liberationist gay culture that vanished with the onset of the AIDS crisis and a generational amnesia surrounding this loss, 2boys.tv have created Tightrope, a poetic song-cycle, a collective act of remembering. Backed by a virtual choir of singers, musicians and drag queens, 2boys.tv summon the shadows, apparitions and voices of the past in a multi-media tribute to the forgotten. Join us for this audacious theatrical vigil for the disappeared.

Previews May 26
Opens May 27

10. LAUNCH: Cultivating Canada: Reconciliation through the Lens of Cultural Diversity
Date: May 27, 2011; Source: Jayce Salloum

Please join us for the Toronto and area launch of this new publication, published by the Aboriginal Healing Foundation.

Cultivating Canada: Reconciliation through the Lens of Cultural Diversity
7 pm, Thursday, May 26
Lambert Room, OCADU

Free copies of the book will be available to all attendees.

Regional contributors include Cheryl L'Hirondelle, b.h. Yael, Meera Margaret Singh, Jamelie Hassan, Miriam Jordan, Ronald Lee, Bonita Lawrence, Enakshi Dua, Sriomyee Mitra, Malissa Phung, Ravi de Costa, and George Elliott Clarke.

Cultivating Canada: Reconciliation through the Lens of Cultural Diversity is the third in a three-volume series addressing the complex notion of reconciliation in a national landscape. The Aboriginal Healing Foundation brings together disparate voices to address how communities--immigrant, racialized, 'new' Canadians, and other minoritized groups--relate to the intricacies of reconciliation as a concept. Many of the contributors included address questions of land, Aboriginal histories, and different trajectories that have led to the current configuration and conglomeration of peoples in this geographic space. And, a central organizing principle of this collection is artistic practice, specifically in how embedding creative acts within critical responses helps to create a relevant framework of possibilities as we move inexorably into uncertain futures.

Featured within are perspectives from Ashok Mathur, Shirley Bear, Henry Tsang, Glen Lowry, Cheryl L'Hirondelle, Joseph Naytowhow, b.h. Yael, Sandra Semchuk, Elwood Jimmy, Dorothy Christian, Rita Wong, Sylvia Hamilton, Meera Margaret Singh, Jamelie Hassan, Miriam Jordan, Renisa Mawani, Rhose Harris-Galia, Sid Chow Tan, Ronald Lee, Bonita Lawrence, Enakshi Dua, Robinder Kaur Sehdev, Srimoyee Mitra, Malissa Phung, Henry Yu, Roy Miki, Ravi de Costa, Tom Clark, Rinaldo Walcott, Mitch Miyagawa, Jen Budney, Jayce Salloum, Rita Shelton Deverell, George Elliott Clarke, Diyan Achjadi, and Kirsten Emiko McAllister.

15. CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS: Transit Kitchen (Toronto)
Date: June 1-2, 2011; Source: Jutta Brendemuhl
 
Call for participants in international art project on Toronto’s future mobility culture
Would you like to present your ideas about the future of transportation & mobility in Toronto in a fresh and original way?

The art project “Transit Kitchen” is the idea of Folke Köbberling und Martin Kaltwasser, an artist duo from Berlin. Commissioned by the Goethe-Institut and co-curated by No. 9 Art and the Environment and the Goethe-Institut, Köbberling and Kaltwasser intend their “Transit Kitchen” as an invitation to Torontonians to analyze and deal with traffic, public transit, cycling, pedestrian movement, with the most recent developments and attractive scenarios of their continually more mobile metropolis, Toronto.

In “Transit Kitchen,” a TV cooking show-style studio built by Köbberling and Kaltwasser, the artists invite visionary, creative, and open-minded Canadians to present their utopias, ideas and wishes regarding the future of municipal transportation, public collective mobility, and movement culture in Toronto in the form of lists of ingredients, recipes, dishes, cooking methods, and gourmet tips.
 
Your resulting “mobility recipes” will include knowledge of nutrition, diets, the right quantities, the correct mix, precise timing, taste, and endless refinements – figuratively speaking, of course. In this way the participants will “cook up” possible transportation concepts and situations, performed in a kitchen environment, and serve them up as examples of a better urban lifestyle in Toronto.

You will be able to experience “Transit Kitchen” live on June 1 and 2 in Toronto’s Union Station on the set of our “cooking studio.” The cooks selected – all experts in everyday urban mobility and full of progressive and creative ideas – will create a municipal menu with their utensils on the spot. The live shows will be public and will be filmed live.

Following this, Köbberling and Kaltwasser will set up “Transit Kitchen” at the Evergreen Brick Works, expand it with additional fixtures, cabinets, and cooking utensils and make it accessible to the public, who will be able to sample ever more recipes on the kitchen screens.
If you would like to be a “Transit Kitchen Cook” and present and perform your recipe for future mobility, please send your idea directly to Folke Koebberling by e-mail: FolkeKoebberling@gmx.de <mailto:FolkeKoebberling@gmx.de>  .

We hope that you will engage with us and have fun swapping the best recipes from and for Toronto’s future!
 
Best regards,
Folke Köbberling & Martin Kaltwasser
http://www.koebberlingkaltwasser.de

Folke Köbberling (*1969) and Martin Kaltwasser (*1965) live and work in Berlin. With their installations, such as a recycled theatre built out of construction waste and wood blankets, or the comfortable chairs in waiting areas of train stations all over the world that the German artists created out of wooden boxes, Köbberling and Kaltwasser show that waste can be turned into something useful and sustainable. They plead for a change of thinking in our throw-away society. They have exhibited extensively in Germany and internationally and were included in the 2009 Architecture Biennal in Sao Paulo. During the summer of 2010, they worked with materials recycled from the 2010 Vancouver Olympic & Paralympic Winter Games Athletes’ Village to create a situation of exchange & cooperation. They have taught at Metropolitan University in London, University of Arts in Berlin and at Academy of Fine Arts HFBK Hamburg.

Emmanuelle Waeckerlé was born in Morocco, lives between London and St Yrieix la Perche in France. Her work straddles across various disciplines including performance art, photography, storytelling and Book art, While anchored in explorations on language, identity and displacement, recurring themes such as the relationship between body and identity and the limitations of translation were seen as poetics of survival and resistance. Through her continuing commitment to both education and practice based research she tries to foster new enquiry across and between Photography, Performance art and Book art, developing collaborative projects and communities both at local and international levels, in academic and non academic contexts.

The art of letting go (on the edges of language)
To a greater or lesser extent, everyone depends on stories to discover the manifold truth of life. Only such stories, read sometimes in a trance, have the power to confront a person with his fate. This is why we must keep passionately striving after what constitutes a story.

George Bataille. Blue of Noon appendix: The author’s foreword (1957)
An exercise in verbal procreation and storytelling,weaving  together personal, conceptual and whimsical concepts that  might have led me to become a vocal intrusment for all to play {with) and a tourist guide for authentic travel and beyond. VINST is a unique vocal instrument, part human part virtual - a body without organs - responding to touch but also to mood and sensibility. The sounds are pre- or non- linguistic, and are based on how the body reacts to touch and how it produces sound. I personally derive as much pleasure playing (with) my virtual self as from watching others doing so.

For the past 5 years she has been developing a series of workshops for artists and non artists alike - Body thought Body talk - which are about a collaborative construction of personal meaning. Simple performance strategies are used to explore one’s body (as opposed to one’s mind) as both a tool and the object/subject of observation. This has led to her current touring project JUNGLE FEVER (wish you were here) which will be conducted as a workshop on 22 June in the dance studio of the Substation. http://www.ewaeckerle.com Estimated Duration: approx: 45mins

The White Crocodile
The work that I intend to make for this project is the myth of the white crocodile. Bendemeer Road is where the two rivers Kallang River and Whampoa River meet.  This white crocodile myth comes from the canal Whampoa River and Kallang River. The neighborhood use to say that there is a white crocodile living in this River and believes to be the guidance of this river and had protected the people of this area.  Whoever sees it will have good luck and number some time appears on the body of the crocodile and one see it will strike lottery. I have been living in this area for the pass 27 years and River was my playground during my childhood time. I believe this white crocodile has protected my friend and me. This white crocodile is a mystery to us, as I have not seen it. The myth said that it would only appear if there were some good events coming into our neighborhood. This white crocodile is like a deity according to some of our old folks. Estimated Duration: approx: 30mins

Performance for Prepared Invisible Table
My performance work engages directly with audience, strategically with humour, and methodically with material to create situations and images that are concerned with the formal presentation of action, the possibilities of social interaction, and the investigation of authorship, repertoire, the archive and the practice of performance art itself. Performance for Prepared Invisible Table is an action collage using some everyday materials and some not-so-everyday materials to create images that appear and disappear in the exact same moment. Estimated duration: approx.: 30mins.

White Market
Founded in 2006 in Singapore, Wunderspaze is a loose collective of artists and artworkers interested in the research and presentation of art.

This two day workshop intends to develop discipline in focused attention within performance art based practice. It will maximize the participant's sense of inter-linked, mind/body movement and the capacity to engage in transformative behaviour. Core values are imparted to help participants develop skills in mental and physical connectivity and to tap into essential aspects of their actions, building confidence and decisiveness in considering what elements and/or ideas have potential and vitality for further exploration. The workshop will also focus on realizing the importance of employing personal insight and intuition, to uncover these core elements of one's own practice, without reliance on over-interpretive physical and/or verbal clutter. Participants are asked to bring to the workshop one object pertinent to him or her.
