**DUORAMA #117 - #119 start in August 2014, details TBC**
ABOUT DUORAMA
Since 2000, Paul Couillard and Ed Johnson have worked together on the performance art series Duorama. Playful, beguiling and often minimalist, these pieces explore notions of relationship, and draw on collaborative and competitive tensions that underlie all partnerships. Responding to site and examining cultural attitudes toward male intimacy are key elements of Duorama. Recurring themes revolve around shifting interpretations of what is political and what is personal. Many of the works can be read in terms of the current social and political climate surrounding gay culture, offering askance references to issues such as gay marriage, HIV-status, and portrayals of gay culture. To date, 113 Duorama performances have been presented at galleries, festivals and various events in Canada, France, Poland, Croatia, Ukraine, Belarus, Finland, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, the USA, Singapore, Ireland and the UK.
ABOUT Paul Couillard
Paul Couillard has been working as an artist, curator, and cultural theorist since 1985. He has created more than 200 solo and collaborative performance works in 23 countries. He was the Performance Art Curator for Fado from 1993 to 2007, and is also a founding co-curator of the 7a*11d International Performance Art Festival, both based in Toronto. He is the editor of Canadian Performance Art Legends, a series of combined text and DVD publications on senior Canadian performance artists published through Fado. The first installment, La Dragu: the Living Art of Margaret Dragu was released in 2002, while the second book, Ironic to Iconic: The Performance Works of Tanya Mars was released in 2008.
ABOUT Ed Johnson
Ed Johnson is a visual artist who has been creating performance art works since 1996. His solo work has often explored issues of communication/non-communication (Box, Words of Love) and of HIV status (Inquisitive/Inquisitor, Untitled "[sic]"). Currently his focus is on the landscape of male bodies and self-image, including Pro tanto quid retribaumus (for so much what shall we repay. Ed Johnson is a founding member of Fado, an artist run centre for performance art located in Toronto.

4. WORKSHOP: Solo Dancing with Dawne Carleton
Date: April 29-June 24, 2014; City: Toronto, Canada; Dawne Carleton
10 weeks - $500* (3 participants per class)
Tuesdays April 29 – June 24 2014, 7-9 p.m., June 10 6 – 10 p.m.
IGAC Studio @ Artscape YoungPlace, 180 Shaw St. Suite 103
“Inspiring and transformative… pivotal in my artistic development.”- Former participant
In this master-class format workshop we 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 and more dancing as they build toward 10-minute improvisations in the final class. Additional exercises will be introduced to elucidate specific concerns and interests 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 at the end of the session.
This class is designed for dancers interested in moving beyond habitual blocks and limitations, developing presence, skill and impact in improvised performance and establishing 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
Dawne Carleton’s work as a dance artist, instructor and creative process facilitator is rooted in an improvisation practice that spans over 20 years. She received a Canada Council grant for Masters-level studies at the European Dance Development Center in the Netherlands. Carleton is a choreographer who “enhance[s] our understanding of who and what we are as embodied creatures” (The Dance Current). She brings a deep sense of listening to one-on-one creative process facilitation work with artists from diverse fields.
-$100 non-refundable deposit due upon registration; remainder of fees must be received by Tuesday, April 22 2014.

Deadline date: April 30, 2014; City: Toronto, Canada; Source: Tomas Jonsson
Program Dates: June 2- 14, 2014
Application Deadline: April 30, 2014
Price: $900 + HST
This residency will engage participants in critical discourse on contemporary performance art theory and praxis with a focus on yet not exclusive to indigenous experience. The residency will explore the history, current climate and ideas within performance art. Indigenous knowledge and practice will be engaged to understand ideas of the "other", and how we can become the "other" through performance practice. Being "othered" by society can create a open space that can be activated, this residency will assist you in finding your voice that will be activated through action. It will get you into your body and out of your mind.
This residency is an opportunity to overview indigenous performance art theory and praxis. While this workshop is based in indigenous praxis and knowledge, all people are welcome to explore and participate in "other" trajectories of performance practice. The workshops will take place over 8 days and will give participants the opportunity to view and discuss theory, history, current climate and ideas within contemporary performance practice. The discussions will link participants to other movements, current socio-cultural, political and activist trends. This residency will be fun, serious and completely different.
Adrian Stimson is a member of the Siksika (Blackfoot) Nation in southern Alberta. He is an interdisciplinary artist, curator and educator with a BFA with distinction from the Alberta College of Art & Design and MFA from the University of Saskatchewan. Adrian was awarded the Blackfoot Visual Arts Award in 2009, the Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Medal in 2003 and the Alberta Centennial Medal in 2005 for his human rights and diversity activism in various communities.

7. EVENT: A Dirty Ecosexual Wedding to Soil with Annie Sprinkel and Beth Stephens
Date: May 1, 2014; City: Krems, Austria; Source: Annie Sprinkle
Donau Festival in Krems, Austria Presents:
A DIRTY ECOSEXUAL WEDDING TO SOIL
With Annie Sprinkle, Beth Stephens and YOU
http://www.donaufestival.at
We are two ecosexual artists in love who have created a series of weddings to marry nature entities, in order to deepen our connection with, and show our appreciation for Nature. We switch the metaphor from 'Earth as mother' to 'Earth as lover' and to call attention to urgent environmental issues in a fun, interesting, seductive way. We ask for no material gifts but invite people to help us co-create the wedding. Everyone is invited to join us to marry the Soil- the skin of the Earth, which grows our food, stores our water, composts our waste, is a major part of our ecosystem, and because we love to get dirty!
Date: Wedding: May 1st, 2014, 13:45h, Krems
OUR VISION FOR THE WEDDING DAY
In the morning of the day of the wedding we set up, decorate, and rehearse the performance-ritual with our dramaturge Joy Fairfield Brook. There will be two wheelbarrows full of dirt (decorated) on stage. As people arrive for the wedding, there are live musicians doing ambient music, some ushers in costumes, and a few ambient performances. When the ceremony begins, the Bridal party and performers will process down an aisle to the stage. We, Beth and Annie, officiate the ceremony, calling upon about ten (2-3 minute) performances (solo or groups) such as a poem, dance, performance, gesture, political statement, etc. Everyone uses soil in their pieces. We officiate the vows, ring bearers offer everyone a "wedding ring", people are invited to kiss the Soil. Everyone is pronounced married to the Soil, music plays and we recess to street. We will parade in the street to the reception site while all holding on to long pieces of ribbon which we will use for a (kinky) May Pole dance at the reception. At the reception there is a cake cutting ceremony, something to drink, a garter toss, bouquets (maybe with local seed bombs) are tossed for people to catch, then we (Beth & Annie) get into a bed of dirt to consummate the wedding, and make love with the Soil, then plant a garden with our (local) seeds. We aim to bring together collaborators from various communities; the arts, environmental activists, sex workers, queers, non-queers, academics, and more. Artists and non-artists are all invited to collaborate.
The Wedding will be in the amazing Donau Festival

Tracing the arc of the programme through images, reviews and critical texts, the publication also examines some of the larger issues surrounding contemporary performance: archiving, authorship, the ephemeral, and the production of knowledge through performance.

Claude Wittmann: “I work as a performance artist, more recently with the desire to transparently "meet" with life. I do this in different ways and one of them is by visibly and acoustically inhabiting the public space with my radio transmission system.” www.claudiawittmann.ca

15. OPEN CALL TO ARTISTS: Film & Video Performance
Deadline date: May 30, 2014; City: Nicosia, Cyprus; Source: CIPAF
Film & Video Performance
Screening Program of the 2nd Cyprus International Performance Art Festival
Theme: “Site-specific”
The deadline of submissions is 30 May 2014.
Cyprus International Performance Art Festival (CIPAF), announces an Open Call to artists to submit film and video performances for the Screening Program of the festival. We are interested in works in the form of video and film that focus on site-specific performances created for the camera. The premiere screening of the selection will take place at the 2nd Cyprus International Performance Art Festival in Nicosia, after which the works will tour a number of countries around the world.
The first Performance Screenings (2013) was a selection of video performances, films and video documentation of performances presented during the 1st Cyprus International Performance Art Festival, organized and produced by the Cyprus International Performance Art Society (CIPAS). The second Performance Screenings (2014) will be a selection of films and videos where live performance is created for the camera.
Performance art is frequently created to exist in a certain place, forming a specific context of time and space while creating several ephemeral moments. The artist uses his/her body to transmit an idea or to reveal an image, constructed through the relationship between himself/herself and the space or place. A site-specific performance can be collective, impulsive, unpredictable and evolving, where the artist and the viewer can be engaged within its environment. Therefore, through the presence of the artist, the existing space/place can be experienced in another way, while communicating other possibilities in understanding reality. We are looking for video and film performances in which “site-specific” has an essential part, where public spaces, places and landscapes are selected in an effort to present or suggest the live and the ephemeral through video and film.

16. CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS: Paradisiacal Rites by Derrick Ryan Claude Mitchell
Date: June 9-14, 2014; City: Toronto, Canada; Source: Cathy Gordon
Co-commissioned by donaufestival (Austria) and Luminato Festival.
“Actors, ballet dancers, choreographers, musicians, visual artists and filmmakers each set their skills on a solemn and somber performance, an intoxicating exhibition at the service of our existential pain… a stunner.” —Der Standard (Austria)
Paradisiacal Rites is artistic provocateur Derrick Ryan Claude Mitchell’s most ambitious piece to date. A non-narrative exploration of American hysteria, nationalistic vanity and utopian fervour, Paradisiacal Rites examines the delirious final moments of The Peoples Temple in Jonestown, Guyana, the madness attached to the Charles Manson murder trials, and manic derangement, through an obsessive commitment to the Oscars. It transforms elements of ballet, symphony, opera and installation into hypnotic and visceral performance. Everything and nothing is sacred.
Each performance of Paradisiacal Rites will be preceded by an exhausting procession that begins at dawn, with Mitchell evoking transgressive images starting from a secret location and ending at MOCCA (952 Queen St W, Toronto).
For the performance at Luminato Festival, we are looking for VOLUNTEER production interns/volunteers to help assemble set elements for Paradisiacal Rites. No experience necessary but volunteers should be comfortable with bending, lifting up to 30 lbs, and physical labor.
NEED:
1) Five to eight volunteers (per day) who can commit to helping install the set elements at MOCCA - Monday June 9 to Saturday June 14, 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. Volunteers do not need to commit to all five days but are encouraged to commit to 3 days.
2) Four volunteers to perform similar manual labor, on stage, during the performance at MOCCA. We need the same four for every performance, but they can also double as the set up volunteers if they are available. You will be visible, lightly staged and styled to help remove set elements during the show. You will be needed Monday, June 9 from 3:00 11:00 p.m. (orientation and dress rehearsal) and available for all performances Tue to Sat, June 10 14 with call at 6:00 p.m.
If you are interested in being a volunteer please contact: Cathy Gordon, Assistant Producer, Luminato Festival, at e-mail: catgg2@gmail.com with the subject line PARADISIACAL RITES VOLUNTEER

Welcome to Live Action which in its 9th consecutive year will take place at the art centre of Gothenburg, Göteborgs Konsthall, from May 30 to June 1 2014, as well as in the public space of Brunnsparken and Kungstorget where we in practice show the importance of a real cultural democracy.
We are very pleased to be able to present diversified program with as many as 16 contemporary artists from 13 countries. We are also proud to be able to continue to support the exposure of Chinese performance art in Europe through an exchange program with the leading Chinese performance art festival Guangzhou Live which now have entered its 4th year, showcasing the two very different but highly talented artists Dong Jinling from Beijing and Liu Wei from Chengdu.
Besides the presence of these two Chinese artists, Live Action’s continuous efforts to program artists who are engaged in the development of freedom of expression. We are also happy to have been able to present the work of Erdem Gündüz from Turkey. An artist who in his own courageous way changed performance art’s political possibilities for societal change through an 8 hour durational outdoor performance on Taksim square in Istanbul in 2012.
Although one of the international scene’s most renown performance art events, Live Action continues its proliferation as a low-key, human scale, art event that focuses on the work and the proximity between artists and audience. It is a strategy that we feel fits not only the expression of performance art as a contemporary art media, it is part of its philosophy. To be close, to be poetic yet engaged in our own society and its development.
Stay tuned for artist information and the full program.

Thirty-two eclectic artists present work that sets out in new or not fashionable directions, challenges the definition of dance and takes us out of our comfort zones. It’s a mix-up of local, national, and international artists early, late, or just right in the middle of their careers. Performance Mix is not just a festival, it is a community of dance, performance and video artists from contrasting backgrounds and genres. And you are invited to visit our community.
For 2014 we are excited to once again invite Dana Michel (Montreal, Quebec, Canada) to present a new work in development with support from NDA’s LiftOff Residency. Presented this season at American Realness, Dana Michel is an example of NDA’s continuing support of an artist over a period of several years.

Description of the workshop in Nicosia:
The T.a.T. Performance Art Workshop will take place in the frame of the 2nd Cyprus International Performance Art Festival. The second edition of the festival is entitled priority route, and it focuses on site-specific performances, while taking place at different locations – public spaces and other outdoor places – within the Venetian walls of Nicosia. The T.a.T. Performance Art Workshop, is a practical provocation and the struggle with the paradox to understand instructions, which appear to be intended, pre-supposed but are in fact non-sensical, non-contextual. Performance Art exercises take place, they occur, planned and non-planned: to be free, to be spontaneous, to discover intuition, to follow the impulse, to breathe air, planning/un-planning, focus on the flame, planning to be free, associative action, expanding movement, reflecting associations, observing the body movement, observing the mind’s movements and the occurrence of thoughts and ideas, blurring the distinctions between art work and everyday life, being between walls and nature, negotiating aspects of change, to run the gauntlet like chasing the 'now', to be running against the ‘walls’ of meaning. Exercises may take place inside as well as draw attention to places in-situ, in some cases the artist is a foreigner who arrives from a different cultural background and temporarily lives, works, collaborates and performs in a different environment. It is the question towards an existential orientation, which may have an influence upon the creative work process and the formed creative language. The body is the medium through which creativity flows and enters the world. It could be that the artist is present or is absent.
About T.a.T:
T.a.T. means pure Action in Art in Action. A transmaterial connection between physical and mental presence in time and space. Performance Art in a practical and observational context. A transmaterial relationship between body and mind means that an active process is based on the idea of matter, which reaches beyond a physical presence. The body can be understood as the anatomical substance, as material, which initiates an action. The objective is the practice of creating relationships by connecting body, object and space. The movement of the body in space is transitional however the action creates an image, which remains as impression in anyone’s memory.
The Performance Art Workshop T.a.T. explores how an ‘image’ in space is composed and how it is deliverable. An image is being created with the understanding of space, time, texture, contrast, fragmentation, layers and color. These aspects are experienced through different exercises, which make up the ‘foreground’. Through observation of known habits and the analysis of conventional behavior patterns, predictable actions can be placed into the background. An understanding of ‘Self’ can be experienced with an intuitive approach, serious play and spontaneity. Participants are being invited to develop their own work for the last day of the workshop which is being presented to the group and interested viewers. During the Ta.T. Performance Art Workshop, the participants as a group will be in a ‘safe’ place.
The workshop as a laboratory situation takes a practical and critical stance, which will animate the creative process. It is sensitive towards ideas, details and signals, which implement an unfamiliar way of seeing. Through conversations, individual ideas are being reflected. The question and analysis of the image remains at the core of the workshop: the action is the image. Emphasis is given to personal experience, documentation methods, presentation and the writing and planning structures of an action in performance art. In the end, the viewer will be presented with three-dimensional images: a unique situation consisting of a transmaterial relationship between body, space, time and the object.
