Date: April 1–2, 2017; City: Montreal, Canada; Source: RIPA
The Rencontre Interuniversitaire de performance actuelle (RIPA) invites you to celebrate its sixth edition with a night of performance art. The evening will bring together the work of emerging artists from different academic and professional backgrounds as well as the work of this year's edition's ambassador, k.g. Guttman.
The performances, either in short or long-term, will take place simultaneously in three separate rooms, thereby inviting the public to move around throughout the evening. This layout will contribute to create a contamination of the performances between them and to break the effect of succession in order to multiply the possibilities.
April 1, 2017 Performance Evening Eastern Bloc, co-producer 7240 Clark Street, Montréal 7PM, doors at 6:30PM 10PM - midnight and more FESTIVITIES! With DJ TIGNASSE

3. EVENT: //BUZZCUT// Festival Date: April 5–9, 2017; City: Glasgow, Scotland; Source: Buzzcut
//BUZZCUT// Festival returns to Govan, Glasgow for its 6th five-day community focused festival of live art and experimental performance. Over five days //BUZZCUT// will base itself in the Pearce Institute, a 100 year old community centre in the centre of Govan transforming it into the heart of the festival, with delicious food by local superstars Cafe 13, our own BUZZCUT Bar and a wild, friendly vibing environment where all are welcome. The festival is pay-what-you-can to attend and centred around interrogating the accessibility of Live Art and experimental performance. This year we are spreading to more spaces than ever around Govan including the Govan Old Parish Church, The Fairfield Working Men’s Club, Elderpark Library, Cafe 13 and a local scrapyard to present a full-to-the-brim programme of 50 radical performance works from across Scotland, the UK and the world.
Beginning as a collaboration between Glasgow-based performance makers Nick Anderson and Rosana Cade in 2012, //BUZZCUT//’s central enquiry remains, “How can an event strengthen a community?” and we inscribe this into everything we do. For the past five years we have strengthened the Glasgow performance community through bringing hundreds of artists to this city, celebrating risk, experimentation, friendliness and community solidarity. //BUZZCUT// is now an artist-centric community focused effort and a year-round organization with an office in the Pearce Institute.
This year, in a new partnership with The Goethe Institut, //BUZZCUT// will be hosting Side Burns, running on Wednesday 5th April for three hours and then informally across the whole festival. Led by academics Phoebe Patey-Ferguson and Simon James Holton, Side Burns will provide a free, open, supportive space for discussion, debate and critical action where we can figure out how we’re going to carry on together in the political hell hole we find ourselves in, and what role community and performance might have in that. Imaginate and //BUZZCUT// are clubbing together again to deliver Close Shave Live Art For Young People, with a chocka full programme, designed and hosted by a group of young people from across Glasgow. In a development of last year’s version, this mini-event on Thursday 6th April will be //BUZZCUT//’s well known performance restaurant format called ‘A La Buzzcarte’. Through an open call artists will apply to create a three-course performance ‘dinner’ for all to enjoy.
As always, half of the programme is from some shining lights of Scotland and includes but is not limited to: Mamoru Iriguchi, who will be presenting ‘The Journey between a man and a woman’, a performance where he attempts to explain queer identity to young people and adults alike, and Nic Green will present an especially made version of Cock and Bull. This will last 7hrs and 41mins, the average length of a House of Commons session and is performed alongside Simone Kenyon and Rosana Cade. Blake Venus comes from Dundee and will perform a work relating to the spiritual interpretation of alchemy. Rosanna Irvine creates an outdoor large-scale kissing spectacle, and also FK Alexander will perform a //BUZZCUT//-specific site-responsive outdoor work.
The other half of the programme is made up of a range of exciting UK artists who have never shown work in //BUZZCUT// before such as: Natalie Ramus with a 9-hour action based exploration into the maternal female using masses of ‘Mothers Pride’ bread and milk; Angus Maclean Balbernie and Stuart Jackson will perform as 343 MØS¨, with their first and probably last duet together; a one-off Demi Nandhra performance, ‘The Sadness Got Too Much’ - a vivid autobiographical work looking at historical traumas in the everyday felt sensations of our lives.
We’re chuffed to high-hell to have a wee selection of glorious, rad artists coming from international realms. They’re all excellent and we can’t wait to open our festival up to these very welcome cultural beacons, Shannon Cochrane and Amanda Coogan (Canada/Northern Ireland), Steinunn Ketilsdóttir (Iceland), Anthony Hüseyin Pharaoh (Turkey), Erika Bulle (Mexico), Mairead Delaney (USA) and Ernestyna Orlowska (Switzerland). As always there is a huge range of studio shows, durational actions, one-on-one experiences and outdoor interventions.
//BUZZCUT// is primarily focused on making the festival as accessible as possible to all and so we are continuing to develop our resource for disabled audience members at the festival spaces are wheelchair accessible on level access or via stairclimber, there is a roving team of BSL interpreters in the social spaces and several shows are BSL interpreted, there is a silent rest area available and we are developing our resource for visually impaired audiences with audio described works and Touch Tours available.

Flowchart April 6, 2017 PWYC, tickets at the door only Dancemakers, Main Stage 313 (3rd floor), 9 Trinity Street, Toronto
Facebook event: www.facebook.com/events/1942402939321796/
Flowchart is a series of short multidisciplinary performance works. It shows work by artists engaging with the choreographic from the perspective of multiple fields; work which pays attention to organizing movement in space + having it be affected by/also itself affect time. By contextualizing non-dance works within the choreographic, an engagement with these ideas becomes newly visible. Can we understand text as dance through the spatialization of sound, or fight to claim all bodies in movement as choreography? Flowchart is interested in works that centralize the body and offers a curiosity about what happens to non-dance works when they are presented in the scope of a field that inevitably does so.
Showing work on April 6th are Fan Wu/Thom Gill, Robert Kingsbury, and Lo Bil:
Fan Wu and Thom Gill will be making a new work together titled "Lock up Your Sons". Initially I invited Fan, an artist who works in poetry and literature as much as he strikes me as working in presence and social interaction, to bring his practice to the context of a stage. He approached me about working with local musician (and once Dancemakers Collaborator) Thom Gill and I was thrilled at the proposal. I can assume whatever hybridization of music, words, state, and queeriosity that emerges on April 6th will have the gentle hum that each of these individuals fill a room with.
Lo Bil is an artist who I have been in studios with since the beginning of my career. She is steadfast and fearless, working at her practice with a quiet diligence that has always inspired me. Her work to me sits on a border between "performance art" and "dance", somewhere in the places where those quotation marks cease to make any sense. In a previous edition of Flowchart I saw her play a face in a hole in a wall in an ambitious work by Randy Gagne and I have since never shaken the image of her ghost-white face peeking out through a rotating wall. She's been prolific of late and it feels timely to welcome her conscientious practice to Dancemakers.
Finally we will welcome Robert Kingsbury to the space to present a new work "CONVERSATION CONVERSATION". Robert makes dance, writes music, practices biodynamic craniosacral therapy, is a writer in our Dance Writers in Residence Program, and generally seems to approach new practices every few years. I'm happy he consistently works under the umbrella term of contemporary dance and find his multifaceted practice to be fitting to the invitation of Flowchart.

13. CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: PAS–Performance Art Studies #54 Date: May 6–14, 2017; City: Łódź, Poland; Source: PAS
PAS–Performance Art Studies #54 on the border of perception grow amazing flowers
Dates 6–14, May 2017: PAS studies 12–31 May 2017: Exhibition 20 May 2017: Performance Art Event
About the project ‘Na granicy percepcji rosną wspaniałe kwiaty’ (‘on the border of perception grow amazing flowers’) is the title and research topic for the #54 edition of PAS | Performance Art Studies in Łódź, Poland. The project is part of the ‘Rok Awangardy’ (year of avant-garde) at the art academy in Łódź and consists of three parts: a PAS studies, an exhibition, and a performance art event. To perceive is an action, something that we actively do, but not always consciously. Perception is following a chain of activities which are bound together: Action - Attraction - Processing - Perception - Recognition - Action and so on. This chain is essential for the organization, identification, and interpretation of sensory information and is needed to understand our environment, society, and personality.
Within the arts, perception is a tool used to confuse, deconstruct or disturb, in order, to relate differently to ourselves, the society, and the environment. Artists of all genres are interested in toying around with the chain of perception. Op-Art, Surrealism, Dadaism, and of course, Performance Art are some examples, of how aesthetic or visual perception offers a diverse view on the world, which offers an opportunity to question how we perceive, since the perception-chain is individual and does not have a collective function. This fact becomes potentially interesting when two (or more) perceptions meet. The exchange of experience creates a dialogue and intersection, which acts as the base for our daily communication. Sharing these experiences offers us the possibility to rethink paradigms, question single viewpoints, and better understand the need for change. The deeper we inquire within the field of perception we holistically find ourselves straddling the borders of logic, sense, and understanding. In these perhaps, uncanny areas, one could potentially become capable of locating and acknowledging these blossoming flowers of art.
The aim, of PAS #54 focuses on the concept of perception as a prompt and/or launching point for better understanding the body, space, time, material, and action as active tools of Performance Art. Researchers will engage with other art forms, such as poetry, sculpture, drawing, painting, video, architecture, with the intent of demonstrating context in relation to time relevant issues. Results and findings will take form and shall be presented upon completing theoretical analysis. As part of the studies, we will create an excursion for the INTERAKCJE performance festival in Piotryków Trybunalski and participate in this year’s exhibition as a group performance.
Exhibition (12. – 31. May 2017) Extending the research topic of PAS #54, we will present an exhibition at Galeria Kobro in Łódź with photographs, process documentation, video performance, and video documentations of previous PAS projects. This opportunity to present on a large scale, debuts PAS, alongside the photographic documentation of PAS photographers, Matthias Pick and Monika Sobczak. Performance work of numerous young international artists will display a ‘new generation’ of performance artists, who are entering and reinterpreting the vast field of Performance Art. The exhibition will also include THE WALL, which consists of process documentation from several past studies, which entices the audience to dive deep into making and thinking of performance practice and theory. Drawings, notes, citations, thoughts, texts will be included and presented on hundreds of sheets, making up a wall of thoughts. Finally, the exhibition will include video documentation, as well as a documentary film ‘Sharpen One’s View’, by Matthias Pick. At the opening of the exhibition on Friday 12th May 2017 BBB Johannes Deimling will present a new work of his performance cycle ‘It, won’t always grow back’.
Performance Art evening (20. May 2017) As part of the national ‘museum’s night’, in Poland, we will present an evening of performance art with four polish artists: Weronika Lewandowska (Warsaw), Łukasz Trusewicz (Poznań), Vena Naskręcka (Częstochowa), Konrad Juściński (Poznań). The four performances will respond to the previously conducted research of the studies and exhibition, while simultaneously interpreting the topic of perception. Agnieszka Szabilkowska-Trusewicz (Galeria Raczej, Poznań) will give an introduction and guide through the evening.
Open call for participation and offer for PAS #54 –To develop a Performance Art piece with 8 days of technical, pedagogical and artistic guidance –To investigate and work with a variety of performative exercises, experiments, games and assignments in various conditions both in and outdoors with a specific focus on: space, body, time, material, concentration. Work will be made in groups and individually. –A final public presentation of the performance (media promotion, poster, mailing) and final celebration party –Video and photo documentation of the final presentation completed by the PAS photographer –Publication of the Documentation on PAS website and other Performance Art related websites –Contacts with artists, curators and art institutions in Łódź and Poland –Being part of a group performance in connection with the INTERAKCJE festival in Piotryków Trybunalski –Meeting and collaborating with other like-minded people from other countries –Encounters, lectures and discussions with invited artists –Context of the place, history and culture –The studies are ideal for art students, young artists and all other people who are interested in Performance Art. The range of ages in the past was from 13 to 72 and the level of experience is not a criterion for you to participate in PAS studies. The group is usually composed of international artists coming from different backgrounds and different parts of the world. –PAS studies takes place with at least 8 participants.

14. CALL FOR PAPERS: Performance Research 'On Writing & Performance'
Call for Papers: Volume 23, Number 2: ‘On Writing & Performance’ (March 2018) Proposal deadline: 8 May 2017 Issue editors: Ric Allsopp and Julieanna Preston
This issue of Performance Research sets out to gather research and scholarly articles, artists’ pages and images and critical and creative work on contemporary writing and its performance, on performance and its writings, and on the various environments and contexts in which such work takes place. The issue imagines how a text can be conceptualized, written, presented and figured with equal or more contingency and responsiveness to temporal and corporeal happenings, and vice versa. ‘On Writing and Performance’ seeks to extend current and historical dialogues on the shifting relationship between textual and performance practices and asks: –What creative, dialogic, autobiographical or alternative writing approaches may elicit a text that engages with the plurality of affects that an artwork produces? –How may a creative work be informed, inspired, directed, scripted or critiqued with the same respect for liveness that unfolds spatially as it does textually? –How may these parallel practices inhabit space symbiotically? –How may a new culture of criticality develop in between acts of ‘performing through’?
The issue will consider its theme from the perspectives of live, sited, scored and voice work in the fields of performance and writing, where: Live work highlights the primacy of practice and serves as an ongoing discussion around the translation or transference between performance works and textual works. Sited work questions the nature of the relationship between performance writing and place, traversing territories that may include site-specific works, works about place or narratives around journeys between places. Scored considers a shifting spectrum between the singularity of the script and the plurality of the score, challenging the relationship between the written, inscribed or etched, and the performed, live or imagined. Voice work prompts an exploration of aurality and oral traditions, including those emerging from indigenous peoples and those associated with storytelling, singing and public speaking.

17. OPEN CALL: Cultures of Silence: Invisible Violence Deadline: June 30, 2017: City: the world; Source: Ignacio Pérez Pérez
Cultures of Silence: Invisible Violence is a transatlantic call for video/performance works that happens in between Latin America and the Nordic and Baltic Countries*. The call looks for works that respond, discuss, resist and expand their visions towards the explicit representations of violence, promoted by massive media and building a violent aesthetics with stereotypical basis, polarizing the understanding in a binary system (good/bad, white/black, first world/third world…) invisibilizing the complexity of the subtle violence's and the relation between them.
By being directed at 2 continents, this open call seeks to compose a screening selection with different aesthetics, geography's, economies and political perspectives of violence; it is a subtle open call that asks about the origin of violence, its assimilation, dispersion and transmission.
The following questions can help as a guide: How to reveal violence? How to react, how to make it visible without reproducing it? What are the possible actions to resist and reject violence? How can local performance practices be contextualized in global events when they refer to specific situations? What are the mechanisms in performance practice that can be developed beyond the art scene, affecting other audiences?
More information on how to apply: http://analco.cc/en/open-calls2017/ Facebook event: www.facebook.com/events/149620532226635/
*Some artists will be invited personally because of their trajectory and artistic proposal, nevertheless the character of this open call is inclusive
