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.

3. EVENT: EXTENSION SERIES 10 with Bartolomé Ferrando and Joan Casellas
Date: June 16, 2011; Source: Andrés Galeano
Grimmuseum Berlin, Fichte Str. 2, presents: EXTENSION SERIES 10
Curated by Andrés Galeano
Bartolomé Ferrando (ESP)
Joan Casellas (ESP)
Performances: 16 June, 19:30 h.
Documentation: June 17-19
Lecture: 19 June, 19 h. The Spanish Performance Art Archive AIRE by Joan Casellas
Extension Series 10 focuses on Action Poetry, a very relevant approach to Performance Art in Spain that combines Performance Art with experimental poetry tendencies, such as phonetic poetry, visual poetry, concrete poetry, etc. Bartolomé Ferrando and Joan Casellas, two established Spanish performance artists, have been invited for this week-long residency to develop a new work and show their own way of understanding the relationship between Performance and Action Art and Poetry.
Bartolomé Ferrando was born inValencia, Spain in1951. He is a Performer, visual poet, full lecturer in performance and intermedia art at Valencia Polytechnical University and founder of the magazine Texto Poético. As a performer takes part in festivals and encounters held in Europe, Canada, EEUU, Mexico, Japan, Korea, China, Vietnam, Singapore, Argentine, Venezuela and Chile. He exhibits his visual and concrete poetry in different cities in Spain, France and Italy. He Forms part of the groups Flatus Vocis Trio, Taller de Música Mundana, Rojo, SIC and 3 i no res, who undertake creative practices half way between music, poetry and action art. Apart from Texto Poético he has published, the poetry books, Jocs, Poetic proposals, Trazos, Latidos, En la frontera de la voz, Valencia and Nudos de viento; the essays Hacia una poesía del hacer (Towards a poetry of doing), El arte intermedia, La mirada móvil (The mobile gaze) and El arte de la performance. Elementos de creación, different recordings on MC, LP and CD and several videos and dvd of performances
“I always take the poetic image as a starting point in my work in the realm of visual poetry, object poetry, object book, sound poetry, installation and performance. The sphere of poetry helps me to build, to construct pieces and structures, which I can use to approach and head into the areas of music, plastic art and action. The result of all this is an oeuvre that could be categorized and set in the field of intermediate art, a practice in which the most prominent feature is that a work can be interpreted from the angle of at least two different artistic domains, since it straddles both areas. I would finally like to add the fact that humour can be found in many of my objects and performances, trying to make its presence felt from the interiority of the pieces.”
Joan Casellas was born in1960 in Teià (Barcelona), Spain. He is one of the outstanding representatives of the Spanish parallel art scene during the 1990s. He has staged actions throughout Spain, Europe and America, has led workshops and addressed conferences in various universities, and published numerous articles about performance art. In 1992, he set up the magazine AIRE, which has compiled the most complete photographic archive recording the performance art of his generation. He has been a member of numerous artistic self-management collectives, such as the CLUB 7, and has also organized festivals and exhibitions.
“The series of actions that I call “right here” is based on the immediate context and not requiring anything unconnected with the place. The actions are related to the concept of “here and now” but in a less imperative and dramatic way; “right here” simply adapts itself to the place with a conviction that all places are propitious. Implicitly it is a manifesto of artistic ecology and direct communication.”

4. EVENT: Sexy? Performance by Adriana Disman
Date: June 17, 2011; Source: Adriana Disman
"Sexy?" June 17, 8pm
SteelWorkers: 25 Cecil Street, Toronto, ON M5T 1N1
$10 (All evening pass) Doors 6.30pm
http://triggerfestival.wordpress.com/performance-extravaganza-june-17th-7pm/
An Invitation: You are invited to share with me your image of what sexy is by dressing me in clothing that is sexy to you when worn by others. I will use this clothing to explore the relationship between sexy and gender, identity, and community. Please bring your chosen clothing to the performance. I will wear the clothing externally to explore it's effects internally. This will be open to the public. (You are welcome to consider hair or makeup.)
This piece is something about...belonging, acceptance, alienation, self-identification, gender fluidity, surrendering ego, surrendering identity, fear, sex (imagined and literal), sexualization of the other, of the self, consent
Artist's Statement
I am a Toronto-based performance artist. My interests lay in transformation through vulnerability and surrender. This philosophy manifests in pieces exploring passivity vs. action, interconnectivity vs. disconnection, and belonging vs. isolation. I use my performative works to deconstruct my background and training in contemporary theatre. Many of the constructs I works with are in direct opposition to those of the traditional theatrical framework (for example, concepts of backstage, fourth wall, character, predetermined action, etc.) Removing these constructs removes the safety of the known for audience and performer. I explore what can come of embracing the uncomfortable and spontaneous. In my solo practice, I create mainly durational works. Simple situations in which the outcome is unknown and determined by factors outside of my control. This usually means inviting the public to perform actions on my body. I am interested in the unseen interaction between two bodies. An element of intimacy is present in these works. A need to understand identity and belonging are the fuel for my constant search for deeper connection.

ACTION over WORDS
Golmok Performance Art Festival (GPAF)
June 18-22 at Gallery Golmok, Seoul, S. Korea
Organized by Eric Scott Nelson
ACTION is a very powerful tool to express emotions, philosophies, ideas, and stories. What you do is more important than what you say. WORDS are often empty. PERFORMANCE ART is ephemeral and uses action, image, and sound to create live communication. Because objects and words aren't enough, these artists turn to ACTION.
Participating artists: Tiger and Bear, An Jung, Park Juyoung, Rafaël, Song Song, Eric Scott Nelson, Gim Gwang Cheol, Hong O Bong

6. CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: HATCH at Harbourfront Centre
Deadline date: June 20, 2011; Source: Margaret Evans
Now heading into its ninth year, HATCH is designed to incubate and foster invention and innovation in the local performance scene. The programme has quickly become an important element in the ecology of local performance development.
Harbourfront Centre invites projects from emerging creators as well as established artists engaging in new collaborations or entering into new artistic territory. We encourage performance proposals from artists working across all disciplines, including, but not limited to, dance, theatre, performance art, music, etc. The deadline for Submissions is Monday June 20th, 2011.
Of particular interest are proposals that can demonstrate how HATCH will benefit the project or the artist during this stage of development. HATCH is not about an opportunity for staging a fully finished piece but about using the week to develop a new or existing piece of work. The week itself is about exploring the process of development, with the showing of work being only part of this process.
Companies and artists selected to participate in HATCH will receive a one-week residency in the Studio Theatre, located at Harbourfront Centre. The Studio Theatre is an intimate, 196-seat proscenium venue featuring a full lighting grid, raked seating and sprung stage floor. Use of the residency period is at the discretion of the artist and needs of the project (i.e. workshop, rehearsals, performance, etc.) but there must be at least one presentation of the work for the public and/or invited audience at some point in the week.
The HATCH 2012 season is guest curated by Toronto performance artist Jess Dobkin whose performances, artist's talks and workshops are presented internationally at museums, galleries, theatres, universities and in public spaces. Her creative endeavors have received wide support and recognition, including awards from the Canada Council for the Arts, the Ontario Arts Council, and Toronto Arts Council, and repeated funding from the Franklin Furnace Fund for Performance Art and the Astraea Foundation. She was named "Best Performance Artist" by NOW magazine and Xtra magazine, and her Lactation Station Breast Milk Bar performance continues to draw international media attention and interest.
For more information on HATCH and how to apply, please contact us at 416-973-4237 or by email at hatch@harbourfrontcentre.com.

1. Emmanuelle Waeckerlé (U.K.)
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.
Emmanuelle Waeckerlé is a reader in Photography and relational practices at University for the Creative Art in Farnham UK, and co-founder / co-director of bookRoom research cluster. She helped set up bookRoom press. http://www.thebookroom.net
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
2. Jeremy Hiah (SG)
Born in 1972, Jeremy Hiah began his involvement in the arts since 1993. His works mostly deal with social questions, based on his personal experiences and background. As a practicing artist Hiah widely explored different art media and materials in painting, sculpture, installation, performance and collaborations with different artists in different fields. Hiah has presented his works in various countries including Germany, Italy, Austria for UNSECO Artists In Residency Vienna, Hong Kong Art Center, Vietnam Contemporary Art Center Indonesia Australia, South Korea Thailand and China for exhibition festival and artists in residency. He is also an active organizer and member of The Artists Village and Sculpture Society Singapore. Former 2001 Vice President of The Artist Village and 2005 Vice President of Sculpture Society and doing art workshop in Secondary, Junior College and Polytechnic schools. He established and ran Your MOTHER Gallery, an alternative living room art space since 2004. Hiah is the artistic director for Fetter-Field Performance Art Event 2006, 2007 and 2009. http://www.tav.org.sg
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
3. Shannon Cochrane
Shannon Cochrane's performance works have been presented across Canada in Toronto, Montréal, Halifax and Vancouver and internationally in China,Chilé, France, Germany, Ireland, Norway, Poland, Scotland, Sweden, Switzerland and the US. Shannon is a co-founder and co-curator/organizer of the 7a*11 International Festival of Performance Art (http://www.7a-11d.ca) and is the current Artistic and Administrative Director of FADO Performance Art Centre (http://www.performanceart.ca).
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.
4. Wunderspaze (SG)
Wunderspaze is the contemporary art initiative first established in January 2006 in Singapore. As a modest collective, Wunderspaze has been operating independently without receipt of government or other institutional funding. It aims to be a venue of exchange for emerging local, Southeast Asian and other artists and curators interested in the development and discourse of contemporary art in Southeast Asia. It intends to make its work through regional networking, research, documentation and presentation of works, ideas and strategies by such young artists and curators that is has contact with. Aside from artistic development within contemporary visual art and associated practices, the concurrent direction is to examine and develop curatorial approaches, models and methodologies. Wunderspaze is represented by Khairuddin Hori and Zaki Razak. http://wunderspaze.blogspot.com/
White Market
Founded in 2006 in Singapore, Wunderspaze is a loose collective of artists and artworkers interested in the research and presentation of art. Amongst its interests is the profiling of artists and artworks belonging to minority groups. This time, Wunderspaze activates a community of Malay-Singaporean artworkers for a performance called “White Market”. “White Market” is an assembly of improvised rituals and actions, juxtaposed in the given space and time, taking off from the notion of collective and analogous actions that is often associated with organized assemblies and cults. Estimated Duration: approx: 45mins

ABOUT BN
]performance s p a c e [ is a point of syntheses where, through and beyond actions, questions of community, support, generation(s), re-generation and the place or position of performance is contemplated and rendered visceral. This action is B E Y O N D N E C E S S I T Y - a week long programme housing some of the most radical, contemporary and influential makers of live work to date.
Performance, film and discussion will form a supporting action, between generations and geographies; presenting, acknowledging and celebrating a cross-section of artists investigating performance process, Live and body based fine art practice.
Through bringing together multiple praxis from various generations, philosophies and geographies - this programme hopes to challenge, sustain and accommodate, a thriving performance community often found outside other more established and formalized institutions of art and culture.
Throughout the programme we shall be considering the influence, role and fluxing nature of such institutions and their relationship to (sub)cultures, fringe and the renegade. While also investigating further modes and sites where in performance may be viewed as an engaging, inciting and inescapable discourse of society.
B E Y O N D N E C E S S I T Y is a fundraising event. Our aim is the sustainability of ]performance s p a c e [ as a environment dedicated to the cultivation and dissemination of both emergent and established practitioners. Our opening event and subsequent activity has been free in order to maintain accessibility and welcome the local community, however, now we need your help.

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.
