In 2014, Swedish performance and visual artist Gustaf Broms composed a list of nine questions that he started to circulate to fellow performance artists—many he had a personal connection with and many more he had never even met. The questions covered a range of paired concepts—the bricks and mortar of performance practice (including Material/object, Audience/receiver, Sound/silence, Time/rhythm, Space/emptiness)—and grounded by questions about personal experience, lineage and language. The impulse to gather this collection arose from a conversation Broms had had with another artist; but what makes this volume first and foremost an artist’s book is that the questions are asked from the specific perspective of Broms’ deep personal understanding that, as a practice, performance resides at the permeable borders between the conscious and subconscious, and the meeting of the concrete world of form and the spiritual realm. For Broms, these are the essential questions. The responses collected are as diverse and wide-ranging as the artists and their own approaches, from the practical, to the abstract to the simply far-flung, in addition to some reassuring and surprising overlapping ideas and connections.
The roster of contributors to the 9Questions book project is an impressive array of international performance artists whose work covers a range of performance and performative multi-disciplinary approaches, including: Adina Bar-On, Alastair MacLennan, Andrea Saemann, Antoni Karwowski, Arahmaiani, Artur Tajber, Barbara T. Smith, Bartolomé Ferrando, Boris Nieslony, Brian Connolly, Dorothea Rust, Elvira Santamaria-Torres, Esther Ferrer, Fausto Grossi, Guadalupe Neves, Guillermo Gómez-Peña, Gustaf Broms, He Yunchang, hermann nitsch, Irma Optimist, Jamie McMurry, Jill Orr, Johanna Householder, John Duncan, Kurt Johannessen, Leif Elggren, Linda Mary Montano, Macarena Perich Rosas, Margaret Dragu, Mariel Carranza, Marilyn Arsem, Martha Wilson, Monika Günther & Ruedi Schill, Myriam Laplante, Nigel Rolfe, Nobuo Kubota, Paul Couillard, Pekka Kainulainen, Rocio Boliver, Roi Vaara, Ron Athey, Serge Olivier Fokoua, Shannon Cochrane, Stelarc, Tanya Mars, Tehching Hsieh, Tomas Ruller, Valentin Torrens, Zbigniew Warpechowski and Zhu Ming.
ABOUT GUSTAF BROMS Gustaf Broms is a Swedish visual artist working in performance, video and photography. His performance work has presented work across Europe, Asia and North America. His practice is engaged with the exploration of the nature of consciousness, the dualistic concept of "I," as the biological reality of being in the BODY, and being MIND, as the perceived experience of the flow of phenomena. He is a co-founding member of REVOLVE Performance Festival in Uppsala. He was the subject of 2012 film, The Mystery of Life – An Art Apart: Gustaf Broms by Carl Abrahamsson.

2. EVENT: Toronto Queer Film Festival Date: November 1–4, 2018; City: Toronto, Canada; Source: TQFF
Toronto Queer Film Festival November 1–4, 2018
November 1: Innis Town Hall, University of Toronto November 2–4: Ontario College of Art + Design University (OCADU)
Queer and Trans sexualities and genders existed in the Americas long before Europeans arrived and fucked everything up. 2 Spirit/Indigiqueer people have been persecuted ever since, not only by colonizers, but also by their/our own colonized communities.
Upending mere reconciliation into decolonization in the Queer community means re-centering 2 Spirit/Indigiqueer people. TQFF’s theme this year is Decolonizing Sexualities. What does a decolonized sexuality look and feel like? What are alternative futures for Queer and Indigiqueer people freed from Christian-influenced censorship and shame? If a Queer festival doesn’t have power to give the land back, how can we give our spaces to Indigenous people?
Exploring these questions and more, the 2018 Toronto Queer FIlm Festival features twelve screenings plus workshops and panels from November 1–4 at OCAD University. In recognition of our festival theme Decolonizing Sexualities, over 45% of the films selected were made by Indigenous directors, with another 40% produced by directors of colour.
Highlights of the festival include: The Legend of Sing Hey (2018), an Ontario-produced feature documentary by Becca Redden and Janice Jo Lee; the second annual installment of our Porn Is So Boring program, featuring new work by Jiz Lee; and dozens of vital new queer and trans shorts including Happy Birthday Marsha (2016) by Reina Gossett & Sasha Wortzel, Maude Matton’s collaboratively made Swarm of Selenium (2017), Jan Pieter Tuinstra and Keren Levi’s Otherland (2018), a dazzling depiction ball culture in the Netherlands, and new films by directors Howard Adler, Jaene Castrillon, Vanessa Dion Fletcher, Mike Hoolboom, Michelle Latimer, Jorge Lozano, Evan Tapper, and Chandra Melting Tallow & Elle-Maija Tailfeathers. Festival program released in October. Support TQFF by getting your full-access festival pass on our website: https://torontoqueerfilmfest.com

6. EVENT: Defibrillator Gallery & Zhou B Art Center present DAD ART by Linda Mary Montano Date: November 11, 2018; City: Chicago, USA; Source: Defibrillator Gallery
Defibrillator Gallery and Zhou B Art Center proudly present DAD ART An INTERACTIVE Performance About Life, Death, and Love by LINDA MARY MONTANO
Sunday, November 11, 2018 4:00pm / FREE! Zhou B Art Center 1029 West 35th Street
In collaboration with local artists: Angeliki Tsoli Paul Escriva Emily Eddy Zack Vanes Lauren Pirritano Andy Somma Carole McCurdy Pamela Strateman Sasha Hodges Joseph Ravens The Audience
Obliterating the distinction between art and life, Linda Montano's artwork is starkly autobiographical and often concerned with personal and spiritual discipline. A seminal figure in the history of performance art, Montano was critical in the development of video by, for, and about women. For DAD ART, Montano shares video she took while caring for her dying father and remarked, "...I recorded it all so I didn't have to see it." Montano's work often masterfully pairs gravitas with a healthy dose of camp. Audiences can interact with over seven performer-collaborators, opening a door to REALLY being with impermanence.

7. WORKSHOP: Viewpoints with Fiona Griffiths Date: November 12–16, 2018; City: Toronto, Canada; Source: Fiona Griffiths
Viewpoints with Fiona Griffiths Date: November 12–16 Time: 10am–2pm Venue: Dovercourt House, 805 Dovercourt Road, 1st floor, Toronto Admission: $200.00
Inviting performers from all disciplines join us for Viewpoints to explore and experiment together, informing the performing experience with these essential and timeless skills. In all the body disciplines ‘call and response’ is one of the most important aspects of the performers toolkit. There is an inner and personal kinaesthetic impulse that feeds the outer expressive response. That response encompasses space, shape, and time; covering all aspects of the performative experience.
The workshop will be divided into 2 sections: one the internal, personal response to our impulses (solo work) and the second will be responding to the outer world of each other and the space (influenced).
The first half of each day features a somatic practice preparing bodies for movement; using Kinetics, MELT, Feldenkrais, Body Mind Centreing, etc. Enter the world of personal movement exploration through Authentic Movement, rivers and Mary Overlie's SSTEMS (space, shape, time, emotion, story). The second half of each class features the Viewpoints by Anne Bogart. Play with various ways to respond to the influence of each other and the space through locomotion, shape, kinesthetic response, text or song. Create scenes and stories spontaneously, folding in and out of the work. Please reserve early as there is prep for the workshop.
FIONA GRIFFITHS (RN, BFA, MFA, MA) is an acclaimed multimedia theatre artist with extensive performing, touring and teaching experience in dance, theatre and clown. Intensive multidisciplinary study in all aspects of performance has resulted in SourceWork, integrating both the inner and outer performative experience. Fiona regularly teaches SourceWork work nationally and internationally and collaborates with performers from all disciplines. She is a movement and performance coach and has worked with many dancers, actors and clowns both in creation and performance of new work. Recently she collaborated on Kittley Bender, a Dora award winning show. She also teaches somatic work, movement, health and fitness. As well as her private practice, she teaches at The Manitoulin Conservatory for Creation and Performance. Special thanks to the Ontario Arts Council for an International Residency Grant in 2016 to study Viewpoints and the older moving body. For more information: www.fionagriffiths.com

8. WORKSHOP: Laboratory of the Body with Martine Viale @ Action MAD 18 Date: November 14–16, 2018; City: Madrid, Spain; Source: Martine Viale
November 14–16 / 4pm–8pm Sala El Águila of the Community of Madrid (Calle de Ramírez de Prado, 3, Metro Delicias_
November 17 / 2:30pm public presentation of the results of the Workshop
Maximum 20 people / Basic knowledge of English is required / FREE To register it is necessary to send a small motivational text to: info@accionmad.org
Working with the relationship between body reality and work space, this workshop will address different ways to connect with time and space using the body as a place of research. We will analyze how the duration can transform our vision and modify the form and direction of our actions. Through subtle observations and exercises designed to broaden our sense of attention, we will integrate different possibilities to explore intimacy with ourselves, with others and with places. We will work with different durations, the concepts of distance and proximity through small excursions to the public space.
ABOUT MARTINE VIALE Since 1999, his work has been presented at numerous art festivals, galleries and specific venues for the Action Art of Montreal, Viva! Art Action; Québec, RIAP, Le Lieu and Canada, FADO Performance Art Center, Toronto. His work has also been shown internationally, especially in Actus V, Brussels; Frac Lorraine, Metz, France; FEM_16, residence of art of action in Bòlit center d'art contemporani, Girona, Spain; Interakcje Festival, Poland and Curitiba International Biennial, Brazil. She has appeared in publications focused on the performing arts such as More Caught in the Act, an anthology of the performing arts of Canadian women, edited by Johanna Householder and Tanya Mars.

10. CALL FOR PROPOSALS: Performance Research Vol. 24, No. 6: On Animism Deadline date: November 19, 2018; City: the world; Source: Performance Research
Performance Research Vol. 24, No. 6: On Animism (September 2019) Proposal deadline: Monday 19 November 2018
Issue Editors: Mischa Twitchin (Goldsmiths, University of London) Carl Lavery (University of Glasgow)
If, as Isabelle Stengers suggests (2011), animism may be ‘reclaimed’, it has profound implications for an understanding of the relation between many different fields of research. On the one hand, questions of ‘animation’ have always been present in the arts, not least, as ‘performance’ has become a skeleton key for research across most art practices. On the other hand, in conceptual practices the sense of what it means – and to whom – for something to be ‘alive’ has been historically more controversial, especially in association with discourses supposed to legitimate colonial-modernity. While fundamental in the research of anthropology – from E. B. Tylor (1871) to Philippe Descola (2013 [2005]) – the thought of animism has also been widely referenced as a critical resource for re-conceiving colonial-modern matrices of power. Major thematic exhibitions (as curated, for instance, by Anselm Franke, and by Bruno Latour and Peter Weibel), as well as developments in economic and ecological politics and theory, provide a renewed context for addressing animism in performance specifically. In what sense, for instance, could performance offer a poetics of animism?
Suspicious of the endlessly repeated claims of and for the new, the innovative, the progressive – all that echoes with the linear temporality of modernity (as if the future were not a question of care for the past) – how might the concerns of animism and performance, long-standing in aesthetics and anthropology, provoke us to rethink what is supposed of being in ‘the’ world, of relating not only to other ‘subjects’ but also to a changing sense of the attribution of subjectivity, or agency, that resists the anthropocentric? To re-invoke seemingly inescapable categories: What dynamics compose relations between subjects and objects, persons and things, memory and matter, where we increasingly experience our lack of understanding of reciprocity, responsibility and, indeed, of (non-anthropocentric) rights? How does performance offer a particular field of research for re-imagining what animism might mean, giving examples by which it might be conceived of without being reduced to the dualisms that have, historically, constructed this very concept? How does animism admit consideration of panpsychism or hylozoism? Or, from Aristotle to Agamben, of enargeia or potenza? How might suppositions of agency be limited or liberated by re-imagining performance in terms of animism? And, by contrast, how might the ‘internet of things’ change our sense of performance? Or the ever increasing automatism of media, our sense of animism? In what sense might the fascination of AI be haunted by ideas of animism? The following suggestions for contributions are intended simply as provocations, identifying fields of tension through which to explore how each term – animism and performance – finds itself in question through the other when distinguishing a field of research.
Animism/performance and the digital Animism/performance and the environmental Animism/performance and the political Animism/performance and the fetishistic Animism/performance and the semiotic Animism/performance and the magical Animism/performance and the ethical Animism/performance and the metaphorical or literal Animism/performance and the aesthetic Animism/performance and the anthropological Animism/performance and the architectural Animism/performance and the haptic Animism/performance and the economic Animism/performance and the elemental Animism/performance and the epistemological Animism/performance and the geologic Animism/performance and the forensic Animism/performance and writing Animism/performance and the de-colonial Animism/performance and the syncretic
These examples are only indicative and we welcome any other suggestions. We invite essays (between 4,000 and 6,000 words), shorter interventions, manifestos, reviews and artist pages (the scope of which is to be agreed with the editors).
Schedule: Proposals: Monday 19 November 2018 First drafts: March 2018 Final drafts: May 2019 Publication: September 2019

14. CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: VIVA! Art Action Kitchen Residency Deadline date: November 30, 2018; City: Montreal, Canada; Source: Rachel Echenberg
Since the first edition of VIVA! Art Action in 2006, the VIVA! Kitchen has been at the heart of the festival’s programming. Now expanded into a three-week residency, this unique artistic platform allows an artist (or a collective) to weave their contemporary performative practice into a functioning community service. As such, the VIVA! Kitchen provides both an artistic experience and accessible meals to participating artists, workers, and the public.
The VIVA! Kitchen’s artist in residence will take charge of the platform and invest the meals, the menu, or the service with their performative practice. In the past, artists have used their experiences in the kitchen to build a single stand-alone performance, others performed as they served the food, and some took a more relational approach by locating the performance in the way people had to share and consume the prepared food. What unites these possible approaches is that the meals, and the context in which they are shared, become the way in which the public encounters the artwork.
VIVA! invites artists and collectives with performative practices that involve working with food (cooking, serving, or eating) to submit a proposal for this unique residency opportunity.

15. EVENT: Venice International Performance Art Week presents Anam Cara – Dwelling Body Date: December 15, 2018; City: Venice, Italy; Source: VestAndPage
VENICE INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCE ART WEEK 2018 – BODY MATTERS presents the performance opera Anam Cara – Dwelling Body
Saturday, December 15, 2018 Starting from 16:00h European Cultural Centre, Palazzo Mora, Venice Italy Admission: FREE
Anam Cara – Dwelling Body is a live collective performance opera envisioned and devised by the artist duos VestAndPage and Andrigo & Aliprandi, perused conceptually together with Francesco Kiais (GR/IT). It will feature them in collaboration with Giorgia de Santi (IT), daz disley (UK), Marisa Garreffa (AU/IT), Fenia Kotsopoulou (GR/UK),Pavlos Kountouriotis (GR/BE), Enok Ripley (CA), Sara Simeoni (IT/DE), Mauro & Matilde Sambo (IT), Marcel Sparmann (DE), Susanne Weins (DE), with the artistic and organizational assistance of Sabrina Bellenzier (IT) and Gülbeden Kulbay (SW) and under the technical direction of Giovanni Dantomio – We Exhibit.
"When we are understood, we are at home – so here we dwell."
On this occasion, Palazzo Mora’s main hall and its six adjacent rooms will transform into a dwelling site of interconnected performance installations, where temporary, intensive co-creation processes aim to reveal qualities of existence. As the title "Anam Cara" suggests, the artists – soul friends – gather and unveil hidden intimacies of their lives. They perform to find and draw from a common origin, their bodies engaging in acts of recognition and belonging. "Anam Cara" cuts across the normative, morality, categories of thought. The soul is uncaged, free from constraint, to foster companionship. An absolute "I" is unthinkable, for the "I" is social. When more people share their sensory perception of the reality and live it as a felt mutual experience, the mirror of Narcissus falls into pieces: individual selves become relational and call for the collective, having no more reason to determine their singularity.
In a performance opera, visions are like threads that intersect with one another in an interweaving of lives and biographies, destinies and dreams, performed without a preconceived design. Both artists and the audience become part of an existential fabric, which consists of a performatic crossover of systems and patterns in an ever-changing reconfiguration of the notion of coexistence. Castling under the weft of ephemeral scenic compositions woven of existential paths and with a non-linear narrative, the artists are absorbed into one multifaceted Dwelling Body, where the form, the image, the language, the gaze and the understanding simultaneously harbour to find shelter. "Anam Cara – Dwelling Body" does not take place in a univocally descriptive or representative staged act. It follows a non-linear narrative structure, which develops through time-based interaction between the artists and the viewers, so as between people and cultures. Eventually, it is a founding aesthetic momentum where actual places, metaphorical places, invisible places and imaginary places are home of a perceptual itinerary, which the artists and those who will come to attend will shape in the now.
Presented by Studio Contemporaneo and Live Arts Cultures non-profit Cultural Associations in collaboration with European Cultural Centre | Global Art Affairs Foundation, We Exhibit and Venice Open Gates. With the kind support of ConCAVe.

Dancer and performer MARIANNA ANDRIGO and multimedia artist and sound performer ALDO ALIPRANDI have been collaborating since 2009. Their oeuvre and artistic research intertwine various performative languages, deepening the relationship between body movement and sound-motion. Andrigo & Aliprandi's live performances are mainly conceived site-specific, often in places characterized by the full verticality and the consequent shiver of vertigo that it produces. www.mariannanandrigo.it & www.aldoaliprandi.it

He is the co-founder and director of the initiative [mind the] G.A.P. - Gathering Around Performance, as well as an associate curator of the Venice International Performance Art Week. His artistic practice consists of ephemeral installations, video, and performance art, and focuses on dialogue between contrasts and differences, bringing site-specificity, and people's memories to be poetically activated in an individual and collective ritual, played on the ground of the mutual presence. www.francescokiais.com

Canadian artist ENOK RIPLEY explores through their performances and rituals the dissonance of body images to their environment in society.
