11. WORKSHOP: Between Intimacy and Architecture with Victoria Stanton Deadline: July 1, 2013; City: Toronto, Canada; Source: Victoria Stanton
PEFORMANCE ART WORKSHOP at Artscape Gibraltar Point: Between Intimacy and Architecture: subtle and relational performance in public place
Info online: http://bit.ly/Xs30a8 To reserve your spot: http://torontoartscape.org/residencies/booking-your-stay
Location: Artscape Gibraltar Point, Toronto Island Dates: July 29 – August 2, 2013, with a final performance by participants on August 3 Costs: $675 + HST (this includes private accommodation for the duration of workshop) Application Deadline: July 1, 2013
Description of Workshop How do we listen to each other? How do we interact? How do we respond to the landscape around us? How do we engage with time and space? Cultivating attentive awareness, empathetic presence and peripheral vision, this workshop will explore the multiple and very personalized ways in which we experience and foster intimacy and connection – in ourselves, towards others, and in relation to place. We will explore how time and space are intimately connected and linked to how we develop a relationship to the space and people around us; how repetition of an action (over time) within a particular space necessarily creates familiarity with that space, within the various contexts in which we find ourselves to be. We will also explore how the ways in which a "non-productive" use of time, as carried out in public (place) activates a space.
Performance Philosophy Whether working in participatory, durational, task-based or audio-visual performance, the constant thread in my work is an investigation into the ability (and the desire) to hold a space, to appropriate and disrupt the quotidian, to create spontaneous intimacy, to tread vulnerability. Investing a performative presence and consciousness within multiple spaces/times, I continuously underscore the complex aspects of “transaction” and the possibility for transformation.
Much recent work explores the elusive “in-between” – that invisible, liminal space between myself and the audience (whether a group or just one person) or between myself and my object/action/location – whether appearing “on stage” (in a black box, white cube, bar or loft) or “out in the world” (in public sites and “non-art” contexts). The “in-between” is my inquiry into transitional space: as manifested on stage (has the performance ended?), as presented through relational exchange (is this a performance? Is this Art?), and as experienced out in the world through geopoetic meandering, and the conscious inhabiting of non-places found in the built environment. These subtle forms of testing the limits of vulnerability make up an overall practice (and multiple research processes) as an artist working in – and with – space and time.
About the Workshop Facilitator Victoria Stanton is an interdisciplinary artist working with live action, human interaction, video, film, photo, drawing, and writing. Continually exploring within such diverse media, while the outward results of her practice manifest in a multiplicity of forms, performance is the unifying central focus and invariable core of her research. Her time-based work includes performance for stage, performance for the camera, actions in public spaces, and one-on-one encounters in intimate contexts.
Stanton has presented exhibitions, performances, interventions, and films/videos in Canada, the U.S., Europe, the U.K., Australia, Japan and Mexico. Her creative and critical writings have been published in Canadian and American anthologies and art/literary/lifestyle magazines. She is the co-author with Vincent Tinguely of Impure: Reinventing the Word (conundrum press, 2001) and is currently working on a new book with the TouVA Collective (comprised of Anne Bérubé, Sylvie Tourangeau and Stanton) developing salient notions on how performance is practiced and on the question of ‘the performative.’ www.bankofvictoria.com

13. CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: HATCH Deadline date: July 12, 2013; City: Toronto, Canada; Source: Sky Fairchild-Waller
Harbourfront Centre is currently seeking proposals from Toronto-area artists and companies for the 10th anniversary season of the performing arts residency series HATCH, guest curated by HATCH alumni Michael Wheeler and Aislinn Rose of Praxis Theatre.
Deadline: July 12, 2013.
HATCH is designed to incubate and foster invention and innovation in performance practice and over the past decade has become a vital laboratory for development within the local performance ecology. HATCH alumni include: Erin Shields, Anita Majumdar, Joan Kivanda, Lucy Rupert, Brendan Healy, Hannah Moscovitch, Small Wooden Shoe, Trevor Schwellnus, Jordan Tannahill, Jess Dobkin, Cara Spooner, Birdtown and Swanville, Philip McKee, UnSpun Theatre, Jenn Goodwin, Camilla Singh, Salvatore Antonio, Kids on TV, Reena Katz, Andréa de Keijzer, Gein Wong, and Derek Kwan.
We invite projects from emerging creators as well as established artists engaging in new collaborations or entering into new artistic territory. Performance proposals from artists working across all disciplines, including, but not limited to: dance, theatre, performance art, music, digital art, etc. are encouraged. Of specific interest are proposals that demonstrate how HATCH will benefit the development of the project and the artist. In addition to providing mentorship over the course of a year, HATCH enables the concentrated experimentation and incubation of an idea that culminates in a public presentation, recognizing how vital audience feedback is to the creative 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, 192-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 at some point in the week.
For HATCH 2014, our guest curators are particularly interested in projects that experiment with how social media can be used artistically in creation and performance.

15. CALL FOR PAPERS: esse: RENOVATION Deadline date: September 1, 2013: Source: esse
Send your text (750-2,000 words, footnotes included) to redaction@esse.ca before September 1, 2013. Please include a short biography (50-80 words), an abstract of the text (80-100 words), as well as postal and e-mail addresses. We also welcome submissions (reviews, essays, analyses of contemporary art issues) not related to a particular theme.
RENOVATION It its next issue, esse wishes to explore the phenomenon of renovation, which is broached in various artistic practices and experienced on the fringe of artistic activities by both artists and arts venues. Numerous works are primarily linked with the field of renovation through their use of particular materials and tools, but also by having recourse to devices that emphasize site, construction, building site development, or the project implementation process. In this perspective, we are interested in texts analyzing corpora of works which—on a real or metaphorical level—question (re)construction processes or directly involve rebuilding. This raises various questions. First of all, from a historical viewpoint, how does renovation differ from the tabula rasa of the avant-garde? Do these practices problematize a relationship with the past, a return to a former state, or the restoration of an initial situation, or, on the contrary (or even simultaneously), is it rather a question of the desire to transform and renew? Do works that call on renovation revive the key issues and challenges of the in situ intervention at specific sites charged with history or a non-artistic vocation? Do they somehow strive to call into question the concept of the work of art as a finished object?
In addition, it is important to question whether artists approach renovation as a means to lay emphasis on recycling and recuperation, or whether their focus is turned towards the new—the consumption or overconsumption of new materials. Clearly, taking up the phenomenon of renovation also means considering artistic practices that examine the notion of productivity in relation to the economy (growth or recession), lifestyles, and perhaps even, from a critical perspective, the renovation industry, as lauded by magazines and reality TV shows devoted to home improvements and interior decoration. The interest of artists in renovation could equally touch on issues specific to architecture, design, and urban renewal.
CALL FOR PAPERS Theme: RENOVATION esse arts + opinions no. 80 Deadline: September 1, 2013
This theme is also a stark reminder of the role that renovation plays in the lives of many manually skilled artists who take on jobs in the renovation industry to earn a living wage, or who develop personal projects to improve their own living environments. This reality also affects those responsible for arts venues and production spaces, especially when they are obliged to move premises or to improve their spaces, often on a minimal budget. This is all too indicative of the precarious socio-economic circumstances of these central actors of the arts milieu in face of profit-hungry property developers who anticipate astronomical gains for projects in neighbourhoods made desirable by the presence of artists. In this vein, do these very tangible situations experienced by arts venues and practitioners permeate the artworks? Do they have an observable effect on the creative process? Or do they create new perceptions of the figure and role of the artist? We invite authors interested in these questions to submit articles that will shed light on this complex phenomenon.
EDITORIAL POLICY Our comprehensive editorial policy can be consulted online at esse.ca/en/callpapers All articles are reviewed by the Board, which reserves the right to accept or refuse a submitted article. Selection of articles may take up to 6 weeks after submission by the writer. The Board’s decision is final. A refused text will not be re-evaluated. With the exception of the expressed consent of the Editorial Board, the writer agrees to submit a previously unpublished, original text. The Editorial Board does not consider articles that may represent a potential conflict of interest between the writer and the content of the article (i.e., a text written by the curator of an exhibition).

ABOUT FADO Established in 1993, FADO Performance Inc. (Performance Art Centre) is a not-for-profit artist-run centre for performance art based in Toronto, Canada. FADO exists to provide a stable, ongoing, supportive forum for creating and presenting performance art. Currently, we are the only artist-run centre in English Canada devoted specifically to this form. We present the work of local, national and international artists who have chosen performance art as a primary medium to create and communicate provocative new images and new perspectives. Thanks to the Canada Council for the Arts, Ontario Arts Council, Toronto Arts Council and the Department of Canadian Heritage for their on-going support of our endeavors.
