6. CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS: Transform the internalized oppressor

Date: April 28, 2012; City: Toronto, Canada; Source: Claude Wittmann

 

Call for participants/performers by Claude Wittmann, for "transform the internalized oppressor", which will be performed at “Occupations,” the 11th Annual Graduate Conference in Communication and Culture at York University and Ryerson University, in Toronto, on Saturday afternoon April 28, 2012.

Claude says: "transform the internalized oppressor" is a body-based intent that I developed at St-James Park during the occupation. It started as a structured improvisation with musicians from Occupy, became a solo in the dirt of the garden and finally moved to be a duet with Buffalo Runner. It is now a simple yet specific practice that contacts internal oppressors and our own spirits and energy. It requires only to be human and it acts as an opportunity to listen to (the political layers of) our bodies and give them their voices. It is very energizing and clarifying.

Anybody welcome. Please contact Claude Wittmann at clowittmann@gmail.com.

Deadline for applications: 15th of April

Please contact us under:  marcel@bbbjohannesdeimling.de  to get the application form
 
The use of material in Performance Art is very open and often marked by the specific articulation of this art form. Material has symbolic character, which is needed for to underline the act or the gesture of the artist. In connection with the body, or the figure material changes often the meaning.  As performance artists we are highly attracted to objects, because we are able to create traces through them, we are able to visualize abstract ideas and make them directly touchable. An object allows us to extend our body and imagination.
 
This workshop will focus on the supportive and enriching aspect of objects within a performance. So how do I decide what is the best matching object for my idea? What is the specific characteristic of an object and where are potential traps during the use?
 
We are looking for a complete practical approach to all these questions and want to invite you to explore your personal material which support your own artistically language. Not every nice object is a good object for a performance. So where is the difference?

10. EVENT: RIPA Interuniversity meeting of current performance art

Dates: April 28, 2012; City: Montréal, Canada: Source: Francis O'Shaughnessy

 

It is with real pleasure that we are inviting you to the opening of the 1st edition of RIPA, interuniversity meeting of current performance art that will take place at the Centre Culturel Georges-Vanier on Saturday, April 28th at 7 pm.

2450 Rue Workman, Montréal

(Métro Lionel-Groulx)


RIPA is an event initiated by Catherine D’Avril, Marilyne Fournier and Francis O’Shaughnessy, three Arts students at UQAM. Together, they developed a large-scale event in which students from Quebec and Ontario - UQAC, Laval, UQAM, Concordia, UQO and University of Ottawa - will come to Montreal to defend their artistic distinctiveness in performance art. On this occasion, a professional artist will be invited to perform with the newcomers. RIPA’s goal is to develop the network of performance art in Quebec between the different universities to promote meetings and exchanges between students. The idea is to bring together emerging performers to expose a current art in all its differences.
 
The featured artists are:

Les Abramovique

Étienne Boulanger

Maxime Bisson

Marilyne Fournier

Nicolas Lapointe

Olivier Lavoie

Gabriel Morest

Sarah Poirier

Snövit Hedstierna.

The artists performing in the RIPA were selected for their fresh outlook in performance art and for the significant contribution they so far brought to their respective communities. This invitation to take part in an event, in a professional context, will build up their confidence and give the performers experience for their future artistic careers.
 
Tickets for the event will be sold for $5 in presale and $6 at the door. You can contact us through Facebook at the following address: https://www.facebook.com/pages/RIPA -rencontre-interuniversitaire-de-performance-actuelle/305100236212665
 
RIPA would like to thank its numerous partners, sponsors and collaborators for their support. Without them, the scale of this event would not have been as large.

15. WORKSHOP: Intensive Performance Art Workshop with Rachel Echenberg
Dates: July 29-August 3, 2012; City: Toronto; Source: Johannes Zits


DATES: July 29th – August 3rd (5 days) from 10 to 6 pm

PLACE: Fireplace room, Artscape Gibraltar Point, Toronto Island

443 Lakeshore Avenue, Toronto
COST: $375 ($75 per day x 5 days)
PARTICIPANTS: 10

 

This 5-day intensive workshop is geared to artists who are interested in an exploration of performance art and the creative process, regardless of participants’ usual discipline. Participants will use bodies, objects and sites as malleable material that they will construct, expand, invert, reinvent and rediscover within performance actions.

The workshop will confront the performative gesture from several angles: within the unfolding moment, as a context specific relationship, and as a sensorial image. Notions of presence and invisibility will be explored through live and camera-based actions. Hands-on exercises, thematic discussions, and individual coaching will support the creation of these live works within the setting of Toronto Island. Each day of the workshop will explore different themes that will build upon each other towards a public presentation of participant's work at the workshop's conclusion, Saturday August 4th.

Montreal multi-disciplinary artist Rachel Echenberg has been making performance-based work for twenty years. She is continually interested in possibilities for active empathy and how distance and proximity affect exchange with audience and surroundings within the performative act. Her work has been performed, screened and exhibited since 1992 across Canada as well as internationally in Chile, Czech Republic, England, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Japan, Lebanon, Morocco, Northern Ireland, Poland, Portugal, Switzerland and the United States. http://rachelechenberg.net

GENERAL INFORMATION

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

To register contact Johannes Zits: zipijo@sympatico.ca
To secure your spot, a $50 deposit is required before July 1, 2012.

For more information about the workshop, contact Rachel Echenberg: rachelechenberg@hotmail.com
