2. EVENT: Solo Performance Works by Ieke Trinks and Andrés Galenao Date: February 24, 2013; City: Toronto, Canada
FADO Performance Art Centre presents Ieke Trinks Andrés Galeano
New solo performance works – 2 performances on the same evening Theatre Centre Pop-up 1095 Queen Street West, Toronto
FADO Performance Art Centre is pleased to present new solo performance works from Andrés Galeano (Spain/Berlin) and Ieke Trinks (Netherlands).
Ieke Trinks was born in the Netherlands in 1977. She lives and works in Rotterdam. She holds a Masters of Fine Art at AVK St Joost in the Netherlands (2008). Her performance work is often a created using instructions, observations, and live actions made with every day objects and materials (such as cups, chairs, paper, shoes, doors, wood, shirts, nails, bananas, plastic bags), combined and deconstructed, often resulting in absurd situations that play with interpretations and expectations in response to a particular written text. Ieke’s work has presented in various venues in Europe and South America. She is part of a performance collective called TRICKSTER that works with “emergent-form composition’”, and since 2009 she has co-produced PAE (Performance Art Event) in Rotterdam. http://www.ieketrinks.nl
Andrés Galeano was born in Spain in 1980. He currently lives and works in Berlin, Germany. He holds a Philosophy degree at the University of Barcelona, a Photography diploma at the FFS Stuttgart, and a Free Art degree at the KHB Berlin. He works with drawing, photography, video, installation and performance and has realized exhibitions all over Europe and Canada. He is the curating of the performance art programme Extension Series at Grimmuseum (Berlin), ¡POESÍACCIÓN! at Instituto Cervantes (Spain) and is the co-organizer of the Month of Performance Art Berlin. http://www.andresgaleano.eu

3. EVENT: FADO presents Step by Step at the Rhubarb Festival February 27-March 3, 2013; City: Toronto, Canada
FADO Performance Art Centre presents Step by Step Conceived and performed by Andrés Galeano and Ieke Trinks
February 27-March 3, 8pm - 5 performances! Buddies in Bad Times Theatre 12 Alexander Street, Toronto
FADO Performance Art Centre is pleased to be collaborating with the Rhubarb Festival for the third year in a row. This year FADO has invited a new collaborative performance by Andrés Galeano and Ieke Trinks entitled Step by Step to the mix at the 34th Rhubarb Festival.
Want to know how to do, well…just about anything? Ask google. In Step by Step, Andrés Galeano and Ieke Trinks spontaneously create a performance score in front of a live audience using seemingly random pieces of instructional information researched on the internet. Using the cut and paste function of their computers, instruction texts and how-to explanations are sorted and compiled into a dance choreography created for, and then performed by two non-dancers. The result is an unsettling and funny live performance that oscillates between conceptual demonstration and structured chaos.

LAPSody 2013 Indicating Boundaries 4th International Festival and Conference of Live Art and Performance Studies University of the Arts, Theatre Academy Helsinki, Finland May 27th – June 1st 2013
Call for participation The MA Degree Programme in Live Art and Performance Studies invites artists, graduate students and other practitioners from related fields to submit their performances, presentations and papers addressing this year’s theme. The proposed projects can derive from the applicant’s MA projects and/or experimental work in Live Art, performance art and performance studies.
Indicating Boundaries -A way of acknowledging the line of differentiation as a way of transcending it. -A means of realizing the regulations - the limitations - before questioning what lies beyond, under and over it. -What boundaries restrict or protect an artistic practice? -New boundaries emerge whilst familiar territories are continuously reencountered. -What is it to inhabit someone else’s house?
LAPSody 2013 brings together creative and critical individuals who are challenging the traditions of live art and performance art, who are ‘fishing in someone else’s pond’, who are working in interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary ways outside of their ‘natural’ habitat or out of their comfort zone, to present and discuss contemporary notions of live art and performance.
How to apply? To apply please email your CV, a short biography, a 300-word abstract of your proposed project, any technical requirements and the name of your programme and university (if applicable) to lapsody@teak.fi no later than January 31st 2013.

8. CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Wunder der Prärie Deadline date: March 5, 2013; City: Mannheim, Germany; Source: zeitraumexit
The art centre zeitraumexit in Mannheim, Germany, has organized the international festival Wunder der Prärie (Wonders of the Prairie) every year since 2004. As of 2009, the festival takes place bi-annually. Every festival centers on a certain topic. Wunder der Prärie stands for experimental art projects (fine and performing arts). It occues in art spaces as well as in urban spaces and is a well-established part of urban life in the city of Mannheim.
Festival takes place from September 18-28, 2013
TOPIC 2012 – dreaming aloud Art is a seismograph of social processes and change. Our society transforms itself rapidly; we are confronted by new challenges each day and crises have become daily routine.
Mannheim looks forward to great events, which will change the city fundamentally. In the cultural sector for example, the festival “Theatre der Welt: will take place in 2014 and to apply for the title as a European Capital of Culture. Furthermore there is a strong political impulse to get the “Bundesgartenschau” a second tiem to Mannheim in 2023. But above all the townscape and the character of Mannheim will change inescapable, when a 500 ha area, which has been recently left by the withdrawing of the US Army, will be integrated into the city. Mannheim is a city in a pioneering spirit. Politicians, entrepreneurs and civic associations develop excessive ideas for a new use of this inherited space as if Mannheim was a model railway landscape. An engagement with the historical and social context does not take place (the pullout of the Americans, a cut into the townscape after 60 years, deficit in employments, the Cold War as a starting point for the presence of the US Army). Furthermore, conflicts between the city council, which plans the transformation process of the area formerly occupied by the US Army, and the diverse civil initiatives erupt already.
Apart from the specific situation in Mannheim cities in general are constantly changing. The changes in Mannheim can be seen as exemplarily: The character of urban districts transforms and evokes a profound agitation in society and city architecture. Downtown has to be redefined again and again to be not only a faceless and exchangeable Shopping and Outgoing mile.
Wunder der Prärie is devoted to these transformations, these sudden, subtle, feared, planned, inevitable changes. Wunder der Prärie thinks art and culture together with contemporary transformations in society and acute political questions, particularly related to the development of town planning, changing, redefining or areas and quarters and the democratic process of negotiations between citizens and politicians.
Dream aloud – we will dream aloud, uninhibited, anarchic, disputable and wishful. Every change starts with a dream. The festival builds bridges between the locations of everyday life in Mannheim and the areas of the conversion, the disused barracks, these “places of future” of the city. The starting point of change of the city will be there where people currently live: downtown, a shopping mall, an urban district…Wunder der Prärie dreams aloud in downtown but asks for the changing context and the conditions of this transformation.
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS Zeitraumexit is looking for artists from the fields of performance art, dance and theatre who have worked on the subject. We are especially interested in contributions from the intersection of these genres.
Festival dates: September 18-28, 2013 Deadline date: March 5, 2013 (postmark) Address: zeitraumexit, Hafenstrasse 68, 68159 Mannheim, Germany
