1. FADO EVENT: TRACE by Tristan R. Whiston and Moynan King Date: August 24-26, 2012; City Toronto, Canada
FADO Performance Art Centre and RDP present TRACE by Tristan R. Whiston and Moynan King AUGUST 24-26, 2012
Presented at The Christie Studio, Artscape Wychwood Barns 601 Christie Street #170, Toronto
Performance Installation: August 24, 7-9pm August 25, 11am-1pm + 7-9pm August 26, 2-4pm Admission: PWYC
Artist talk August 25, 2pm Admission: FREE
Through an exploration of voice, TRACE transforms a private story into a performative experience, integrating sound, video, installation and live performance. Using archival recordings taken before and during Tristan R. Whiston’s gender transition from female to male, along with recent recordings and live vocals, TRACE explores the idea that change is constant and we are always becoming someone new. Throughout the installation are multiple speakers, each playing a single part or element in the immersive soundscape. Audience is invited to contribute to the performance by entering one of the installation’s beach inspired changing huts and, using old-fashioned technology, create their own vocal recording, eliciting an experience of auditory self-reflection.
ABOUT the ARTISTS Tristan R. Whiston is a multidisciplinary artist. He is the artistic co-director of Red Dress Productions, with whom he has co-led seven large-scale community public mosaic projects. His work as an audio artist over the past five years has gained him international acclaim. Tristan has written and directed five audio documentaries for CBC; most notably, the radio documentary Middle C about what happened to his soprano singing voice during transition (http://theunobserved.com/culture/middle_c/), which won the 2007 Premios Ondas Award for International Radio and has aired on national radio in 7 countries. Tristan was the founding director and head boy of The Boychoir of Lesbos from 1995-2006.
Moynan King is a Toronto based multidisciplinary artist. She was the co-founder and director of Hysteria: A Festival of Women for five years and is founder and director of Hardworkin’ Homosexuals. As an actor she has over 50 theatre, film and television credits.

2. FADO EVENT: Claudia Bucher and Andrea Saemann Date: September 8-9, 2012; City: Toronto, Canada
From Switzerland: Claudia Bucher and Andrea Saemann Performance: September 8, 8pm Artist Talk: September 9, 2pm
WARC Gallery 401 Richmond Street West, Suite 122 Toronto
FADO Performance Art Centre is pleased to present Claudia Bucher and Andrea Saemann from Switzerland. Each artist will present a new solo work, and will give an artist talk about their individual practices.
Claudia Bucher was born 1971, and lives in Lucerne. Her performance process is focused on site specificity, using the performance space to situate her body in space as sculpture, and an experiment in how an action changes the relationship between the body and the surrounding environment. What results is a portrait of moments of transition and transformation – when beauty becomes ugliness, clean becomes dirty, and gentleness turns into aggression.
Andrea Saemann was born 1962, and lives in Basel. In order to personally experience performance art history, Andrea’s work utilizes a process of the “performance copy” – repeating aspects or entire performance works by other artists. This allows the artist to enter into a work on a very visceral level with her body, and constrict her field of action, allowing for intense focus on even the smallest of gestures.

3. WORKSHOP INTENSIVE: Solo Dancing with Dawne Carleton Date: Begins August 1, 2012: City: Toronto, Canada; Source: Dawne Carleton
Solo Dancing: Improvisation Intensive, Begins August 1, 2012 10-class session in August, 2012 Wednesdays 7-9 pm and Sundays 5-7 pm (note Sunday 5 August 6:30 - 8:30 pm and Sunday 19 August 3-7 pm)
Parkdale Prana Room 1273A Queen St. West 2 blocks west of Dufferin at Elm Grove $300 ($150 deposit due upon registration; remainder of fees due at first class.) 3 participants per class – additional class groups will be scheduled as needed. No drop-ins, except in first class.
“Towards the end of the workshop I really felt an acceleration of new possibilities... coming from a place I had never accessed before. This seems like it is a jumping off point for me in the next while.” –Former participant
In this master class-format intensive we’ll use the pared-down structure of unaccompanied solo improvisation to discover what each participant is doing when they improvise, clarify what they would like to be doing, and practice staying connected to their intention, or score, in performance. Beginning with one-minute improvisations, students will be led in a focused process involving dancing, reflecting, observing discussion and more dancing as they build toward 10-minute improvisations in the final class. Additional exercises will be introduced to elucidate key concerns as they arise. Each class will begin with 30 minutes of silent, self-directed warm-up/practice. An optional informal showing of work will take place during the final class.
This class is designed for dancers interested in moving beyond habitual patterns and limitations, increasing presence, skill and impact in improvised performance and developing their own body of improvisation-based work. Practitioners in related fields seeking advanced study are also welcome. For more information and to register, please contact dawnecarleton@yahoo.com
Instructor Dawne Carleton is a dance artist who specializes in improvisation. She currently performs movement-listening, a sensory exploration which emerged from her 20-year practice of Contact Improvisation. She received professional training at the New York Dance Intensive under the tutelage of Nina Martin and at the European Dance Development Center in Arnhem, The Netherlands. Carleton has been described as a choreographer who is “examining what the art form is... enhanc[ing] our understanding of who and what we are as embodied creatures” (The Dance Current). She also works as a creative process facilitator.

PAiN - Performance Art in Norrbotten presents HopArt River Tour August 1-17
Norrbotten will get a noble, eagerly awaited visit by the Minister of Art and Jump from Ladonia! A performance art event out in the villages along the county's five largest rivers.
Edefors Hembygdsförening: 1/8, 14.00 Sikfors Konferens och Fritidsby: 4/8, 19.00 Lassbyns Hembygdsförening: 5/8, 13.00 Bondersbyns Hembygdsförening: 17/8, 17.00 Svansteins Hembygdsförening: 18/8 - National River Day!
The Minister of Art Artist Fredrik Axwik is mainly focused on conceptual and contextual art. "The Minister" is an alter ego or a role that Fredrik steps into, on different occasion. The Minster and Fredrik Axwik isn't always the same thing. The concept of Minister of Art or Ministry of Art has amongst others a connection to the activity that Fredrik devote himself with in Ladonia (www.ladonia.com). When Fredrik performs his HopArt (KonstHopp) it's about protest. It is a protest on the grand scheme of things - against the order of things. The HopArt-jump interacts with the audience and there is a list for the people’s protests. On this list anyone can write down what ever that is annoying them, anything, and in the jump the Minister carries these protests on his shoulders and takes them with him into the water. When the jump has been carried out, the problems are solved. Fredrik Axwik is interested in things like: memory, identity, humor, meta-physics, shamanism, scapegoats, the concept of reality, storytelling, history and coincidences.

11. EVENT: Aktionslabor PAErsche (September issue) Date: various; City: Köln, Germany; Source: Boris Nieslony
The autumn activities by the Aktionslabor NRW - PAErsche are three larger blocks of presentations in the months of Septembers, October and November 2012. and – this is characteristical for PAErsche – we can serve magnificent artists out from different countries from Europe, gladly followed the invitation from PAErsche.
The first block begins in Bonn, Künstlerforum on the 11th of September participants are Eva Wal, an a female artist based in Bonn. Aiweiwei: Secret, candor, life and death appear as a cipher, appear, pull over and remain as a trace. A ritual. Two solo works by Shaun Caton and Roddy Hunter. Shaun Caton's performance is a multi-layered tableau vivant that uses real archaeological items found in the river Thames and is a 30-minute performance.
We will have also 4 other performances:
Lala Nomada, original from Mexico, now loving in Germany described her intentions: White is not pure, it is transformation. Feeling of being trapped in a society that harasses us with softness, with television, with fashion, with all the comforts that make us addicted and require from us to ignore the reality, to sink more and more in a voluntary ignorance... everything to forget our responsibility to the world, and to the creatures that live there. Feeling of ignoring the reality by being trapped in a whitish material, in an amorphous substance…
Marcio Carvalho pointed out: My grandmother teach me how to cure a curse made by a soft wind that travel from one window to another trapping ones body in the middle. She reminds me soup, a pan with soup full of her own believes. 34 years ago she traveled from Angola to Portugal, I traveled with her. When I arrive I listen many stories about where my parents use to leave, their description was so clear that I could really see it. I passed trough all the streets of Youndé and no street had a name. Later I understood that tradition is only trying to last forever. At this point my practice is working towards the understanding on how does memory manifest itself in my work? How different cultures, social groups and individuals are giving use to memory? How individual memory may be transformed into collective memory?
Valentine Verhaeghe and Michel Collet are wellknown artists in France in the field of dance, performance art, Post-Fluxus and le Flux du Bus. On Wednesday, 12th of September, Orangerie-Theater, Köl, a long durational performance can be seen in the Orangerie-Theater from the lunchtime until that evening. This Performance is based on a collaboration between Shaun Caton and Roddy Hunter from England. Shaun wrote: we will perform a collaborative event, 'SITE UNSEEN'. A durational performance that incorporates aspects of sensory drawing, darkness, illumination, obliteration, blindness, display/concealment and momentary colour. From France it succeeded to invite Valentine Verhaeghe and Michel Collet into the Orangerie-Theater. Each of them will show a solo piece, that connects language, dance and ironic elements in the tradition of the Fluxus.
From Switzerland we expect Rhea Julia Bucher. Her performance is a cross-border action between dance, movement and voice.
The singer Walter Siegfried used chants and voice as performative vocal intervention in the different spaces, situations and public fields.
Another highlight is Jürgen Raap, well known in Cologne for his vernacular language, he will present a lecture performance: „Karl-Josef Bär - Transcendence to the Laziness".
PAErsche will lead that evening to the end with the finale September edition of the series of Open Source Performances (Group Performances)

12. EVENT: Towards an Academy of Leisure Date: September 9-13, 2012; City: Köln, Germany: Source: Boris Nieslony
Towards an Academy of Leisure is a working title, an experiment. The intention is to breed an understanding and consciousness of the significance of leisure in our society. The first blueprint of the academy will appear in September 2012.
To be restricted in time when the law of efficiency more and more dominates the human in its being, the gaps must be filled immediately and ‘to be silent’ doesn’t exist anymore. This project constitutes the context between 'leisure time' and the possibility to invent itself in a creative act as a person. In this manner ‘leisure’ becomes a momentum, when this basic of any culture, of every meaningful, human existence is established. The project wants to be an act of consciousness as a an artistic event in the best sense for clarification and development of the human condition and there rolls.
The five-days-experiment is applied to the direct experiences, which are unfolded by different interests in the fields of leisure and established in the three original disciplines of the academy: science, art and philosophy. Every day is given a special field: beginning with prelude and to get in the mood followed the second day by movement-dance-body and the third one is filled with voice, music, sound and movement. The fourth day is aligned on visual art and performances. And the whole experiment ends at the fifth day with Leisure and Bloomsday (James Joyce, Ulysses), insights into the walking, strolling in public spaces. Around 16 artists, philosophers and scientists will be present in leisure from September 9th until 13th, daily from 10:00am to 10:00pm.
The program will be developed daily depending on the situation and is informal. Every day at the morning and afternoon actions, lectures, talks and presentations will take place. Every evening there are public presentations, performances and interactive unscheduled offers. Daily noon, meals and drinks are provided as common celebration.
Sunday, September 9. 10.00am – 10:00 pm - prelude and to get in the mood 4:00pm till 8:00pm Inward Out - "A space to meditate yourself, watch others in the still-life of meditation and do both." artists: Dartnell, Guy; Giddens, Sara / England 8:30 till 9:30pm – reflection, night-talk about Inward Out O'Tong, Boedi - tamu or pejalan

Donnerstag, September 13. 10:00 bis 22:00 - Leisure and Bloomsday The „Leisure and Bloomsday“ is dedicated to the celebration of leisure as well. This day condenses what happened the last days and crystallizes in joint actions with all participants of the project Towards an Academy of Leisure. Next to further presentations and joint meal in the surroundings of the Orangerie-Theater, excursions are undertaken this day to give insights into walking, arts-walking, passing and strolling in the public space.

A weekend-long artwork and workshop programme has been planned especially with children in mind.
You can find more information about the programme and schedule on the festival website www.antifestival.com
