PLACE: Gibraltar Point, Toronto Island 443 Lakeshore Avenue, Toronto
COST: $400 ($80 per day x 5 days)

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.
ABOUT SYLVIE
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.

4. EVENT: CANADA DAY 100 PERSON MEMORIAL FALL by Helene Vosters
Date: July 1, 2011; Source: Adriana Disman
CANADA DAY 100 PERSON MEMORIAL FALL
In recognition of the Afghan war dead
WHAT: On July 1, 2010, I began Impact Afghanistan War, a memorial project in which I fall 100 times everyday in a public space for one year--each fall is in recognition of an Afghani war death. This CANADA DAY (July 1, 2011), I invite participants (no prior performance experience necessary) and witnesses to join me in a year-end culminating fall. A short workshop will be held immediately before the performance to demonstrate methods of "falling" and ways of adapting the score to ensure participants' physical safety. (A sister fall will take place in Melbourne, Australia.)
WHEN: CANADA DAY, July 1, 2011, 12pm-1pm
The performance will be preceded by a short workshop. Participants and witnesses are also invited (and encouraged) to bring a bag lunch or food to share for a post-performance "Deconstructing Canada Day" picnic and debrief.
WHERE: Queen's Park, Toronto, ON, North side of Ontario Legislative Building
(the nearest TTC Station is Museum). Gather at Edward VII statue
Artist's Statement: My work explores the limits and scope of empathy in the face
of militarism and war, and the role of the body in our increasingly technological and media-saturated world. Through embodied action I seek to engage the public body in a dialog about relationships (and lack there-of)--not the intimate and interpersonal relationships of romance, family, or friendship--but the collective relationship of multiply located human beings concurrently inhabiting and manifesting history.
Helene Vosters is a performer, activist and scholar. Currently a PhD candidate in Theatre Studies at York University, Helene's performance and research explorations are focused on the use of public performance as a vehicle to engage collective grief related to violence, militarism and war.

The series of nine performances ¡POESÍACCIÓN! is framed by the exhibition Escrituras en Libertad curated by J. M.

Spanish experimental poetry from the 60s and 70s is closely connected with Spanish Action Art. ¡POESÍACCIÓN! aims to point out the mutual influences and exchanges between Experimental Poetry and Performance Art through three generations of Spanish artists and their attempts to define a specific understanding of the practice of Performance and Action Art in Spain from its beginnings in the 60s until today.

THE 33rd RHUBARB FESTIVAL
Toronto's Annual Convergence of Contemporary Performance
Feb, 8-19th, 2012
Buddies in Bad Times Theatre, Toronto
Festival Director Laura Nanni
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
DEADLINE: 5PM, Friday September 2nd 2011
Produced by Buddies in Bad Times Theatre for over 30 years, the Rhubarb Festival has offered artists a critic-free environment to experiment with new explorations in performance. Rhubarb continuously reconsiders the possibilities for performance -- how we create it, how we present it and how we experience it. It is an invitation for artists to take risks, investigate new directions and challenge conventions. It is an opportunity for adventurous audiences to journey off predictable paths. Rhubarb provides artists with a rare opportunity to present work to a large and enthusiastic audience. Many Rhubarb shows have gone on to be further developed and presented in Toronto, across Canada and internationally.
GENERAL CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Rhubarb seeks proposals for new, not previously produced performances (30 minutes or less) for the 33rd Annual Rhubarb Festival. Submissions are encouraged from both established and emerging artists working in the areas of contemporary theatre, performance art, dance, music, interdisciplinary and hybrid forms. Of particular interest are projects, approaches and ideas that are new territory for the artist and the medium.
Selected projects will be featured during the festival (February 8-19, 2011) and will receive technical, production, administrative, promotional and artistic support. Invited companies will have the opportunity to access free rehearsal space leading up to Rhubarb. In addition to an honorarium, festival artists also receive an unlimited artist pass, allowing them to see work for free by local, national and international artists over the course of two weeks.
RHUBARB 2012 SPECIAL PROJECT CALLS:
MOBILE WORKS DEADLINE: 5PM Friday September 2, 2011
Building on the success of last year's Mobile Works series, reaching 10,000+ viewers, Rhubarb 2012 invites a new round of proposals for performances that begin elsewhere in the city and converge at Buddies (12 Alexander Street, Toronto). Performance interventions, audio led experiences, performances that intersect public and private space, performances on public transit, flash mobs, etc. that eventually end at Buddies are encouraged. Participatory projects and online performances that are developed in the lead up to Rhubarb and culminate in another form of presentation at Buddies are also welcome. The proposal should take into consideration not only the festival audiences but also the general public, unsuspecting and accidental audiences who may stumble upon or intersect with the work.
ONE-TO-ONE PERFORMANCE DEADLINE: 5PM Friday September 2, 2011
New this year! Considering notions of intimacy and personal interaction in performance and everyday life, Rhubarb seeks proposals for short one-to-one works, crafted for one performer and one audience member at a time. Of particular interest are projects investigating sensory experience, contemporary forms of communication, the vulnerability of the body, unique spatial configurations and audience as co-author/ participant.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:
Only submissions delivered by or post-marked by the deadline dates will be accepted. Works submitted must be new and original. Submissions must be submitted in hard copy only and must be accompanied by the 2012 Rhubarb Festival Application Form (available online at www.buddiesinbadtimes.com) and the $20 non-refundable reading fee (payable to: Buddies in Bad Times Theatre). Fax or email submissions will not be accepted and late submissions will not be considered.

2012 RHUBARB FESTIVAL INTERN - CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
DEADLINE: 5PM, Friday July 29th, 2011
Buddies in Bad Times Theatre is now accepting applications for two volunteer intern positions for the 33rd Annual Rhubarb Festival. This is an excellent opportunity to gain hands-on experience in event production, and to gain insight into the creative processes of artists working in theatre, dance, performance art, music and hybrid performance forms, while receiving invaluable mentorship in the areas of curation, producing and arts administration. Reporting to the Festival Director, interns contribute to the general administration and community development initiatives of the festival. Both positions actively participate in the festival planning, execution and final assessment processes.
