1. TO READ: LADA Lockdown List – The Live Art Almanac Volume 6 Date: now; Location: on-line resource; Source: LADA
The fourth and final Lockdown List, edited by Bojana Janković, is a reimagined Volume 6 of the Live Art Almanac, LADA’s ongoing publishing project focused on collecting and disseminating ‘found’ writing about Live Art.
Originally planned for publication in 2020, Volume 6 intended to bring together writings by artists, critics, curators, academics and others, published, shared, spread and read between January 2018 and December 2019. In June 2020, as COVID-19 had become a long-term reality, and the murder of George Floyd engendered a wave of Black Lives Matter protests, a decision was made to extend the Almanac to include these urgent and critical topics.
This edition of the Almanac sketches out a cultural sector undergoing a steady increase of inequality, precarity, and nationalism, a sector in a slow-burning crisis ready to erupt, as it did with the pandemic. The publication specifically draws on the connections between Live Art and the conditions of the pandemic.

3. EVENT: Mutant Lines by Mar Serinyà Gou and Martine Viale Date: August 2, 2021; Location: on-line; Source: Carron Little
Open Flow Platform presents: Mutant Lines by Mar Serinyà Gou and Martine Viale
Date: August 2, 2021 Time: 4:00 ET Location: Out of Site’s Twitch TV channel
In September 2020, between two major world lockdowns, Mar Serinyà Gou and Martine Viale, began a correspondence that was to continue with a live action at the end of October at La Filature du Mazel, France. The artists first met in Portbou, on the French-Catalunya/Spanish border, to exchange materials, spontaneous actions and ideas. After this encounter, the border closed again, making it impossible for Mar to come to France. The common action at la Filature du Mazel, thus used jointly the virtual and real presence and wanted to be a moment of resistance; a means of continuity.
Currently, the next step in the process, leads the artists to cross the border and develop a solo action in the other’s country. Thus, Mar Serinyà Gou was present at La Filiature du Mazel, France, as part of the Pop-up project organized by Julien Bouissou (Ææ Æ Ææ), from July 19 to 24; and Martine Viale will act in Cultural Rizoma in Celrà, from July 29 to 31. Some individual actions, but not isolated. They are actions that make sense within the global project.
The end of this work cycle will conclude with a final action-encounter at the French-Catalunya/Spanish border on August 2, 2021. This meeting will be broadcast in live stream through the Out of Site platform Chicago.

6. CALL FOR PROPOSALS: Fait Maison Deadline date: August 9, 2021; Location: Gatineau, Canada; Source: Anna Khimasia
CALL FOR PROPOSALS: Fait Maison Deadline date: August 9, 2021
For PERF hosted by AXENÉO7 (Gatineau)
PERF, the performance biennale hosted by AXENÉO7 (Fall 2021) has invited Fait Maison (Thomas Grondin and Anna Khimasia) to organize and curate two performance events. Fait Maison is launching a request for performative proposals for these two events:
Through The Looking Glass During COVID our relationship to the live event and screens has drastically shifted. Can live performance take place in a space where an audience is not physically present? This selection of performances considers various alternative forms of engagement with the live event. Fait Maison brings together performance artists who use digital space, screens and vitrines in ways that offer a rethinking of the relationship between the live event and its dissemination. These performances explore new ways of thinking about public space and public display, intimacy and isolation and the relationship between the event, the performer and the audience. Afternoon Tea This performance event rearranges the welcoming and convivial tradition of Afternoon Tea to make visible some of the influences and structures that shape this seemingly mundane ritual. While we might associate afternoon tea with crustless cucumber sandwiches and petit fours, it also provides a platform and unique opportunity for a critique of colonialism and capitalism. This afternoon event brings together artists, performers and participants to draw attention to the colonial and capitalist machinations of afternoon tea while also offering the space for mimicry, satire and re-appropriation. KEY INFORMATION Deadline: AUGUST 9, 2021 If you are interested in performing or have an idea for an art project that fits within the framing of these two events please send: 1. Your contact information (name, email, phone, web site, social media); 2. Detailed proposal (no more than 250 words) describing your project idea; 3. Any technical or equipment requirements.
Please send your proposal as 1 PDF (lastname_firstname_title) to both: Anna Khimasia: annakhimasia@gmail.com Thomas Grondin: stinc@videotron.ca
Applications will be accepted in English or French and we welcome performances in other languages also. If you have any questions of concern please don’t hesitate to reach out to either Thomas or Anna. We will send out acceptance letters at the end of August.
Founded in 1983, AXENÉO7 is an artist-run centre dedicated to advocating, promoting, and exhibiting the visual arts, while developing critical discourse around them. It is a gathering place for sharing and experimentation. Through a critically engaged program, it endeavours to expand the parameters of artistic practice and its presentation, and to improve artists’ conditions for production.

If you’re in Tiohtià:ke-Montréal, we want you to know about Remote Readings––a live radio-based reading series that Public Recordings Associate Artist Christopher Willes has organized in collaboration with performance maker Burcu Emeç.
Remote Readings is a series of three live radio broadcasts which share aspects of Burcu and Christopher’s research undertaken in the 2021 curatorial research residency at Studio 303, with support from Public Recordings. Their research was on expanded notions of citation in performance making, as both ethical and embodied practice. The two met regularly throughout the pandemic, and through the simple pleasure of reading to each other on this subject a lasting question emerged: how is my art practice responsible to other people?
Remote Readings explores this expansive question over three episodes transmitted in the park. Each event is hosted by Burcu and Christopher, and features readings and other audio-based contributions from guest artists. The broadcasts include music, readings, guided meditations, and more. And audiences are invited to drift in the park as they experience the event via portable FM radios (you can reserve one, or bring your own!). Tickets are PWYC: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/remote-readings-registration-157268380961
Studio 303 supports artists engaged in critical and experimental practices in dance and interdisciplinary performance. An ecosystem that stimulates and sustains artists whose experimental practices enrich society in improbable and impractical ways. Centering the needs of off-center creators, we are responsive to the artists we serve, who are not only our clientele but our collaborators. We work with artists who may seem strange for their transgression or disregard of boundaries—boundaries of discipline, identity, methodology, and more.

TOLLÉ_404 (page not found)
TOLLÉ escapes. from the cabaret format. and from screens. While remaining faithful to artistic indignation and community spirit, this edition underlines our desire to find ourselves, elsewhere (than on Zoom...) Page not found. Broken link? An important step has been taken, but where are we now? Since last year, many small businesses and organizations have closed; and for many of us, our relationship to space and to each other has been altered. Let us come together to explore what has been lost and celebrate what has been found.
We are looking for off-screen, off-stage, home-made, relationship-based proposals. Here are some ideas: a phone call, a collective ritual, a furtive intervention, a treasure hunt, a serenade, a postal delivery, a distribution of objects, a game, etc.! If the conditions allow, a community dinner (+party??) will be held in the Studio to close the event. Practical info: Fee of $200 per artist Presentation on Saturday, December 4, 2021 Apply here: https://forms.gle/S8hAcQD7wiMrJumY7 If the on-line form presents an accessibility challenge for you, please contact Ola at info@studio303.ca Studio 303 supports artists engaged in critical and experimental practices in dance and interdisciplinary performance.

10. EXHIBITION/EVENT: Jess Dobkin’s "Wetrospective" Date: September 2–26, 2021; City: Toronto, Canada (IRL/on-line); Source: AGYU
Jess Dobkin’s "Wetrospective" Curated by Emelie Chhangur September 2–26, 2021
Opening Reception: Friday, September 10, 6–9 pm Collective Effervescence Wetrospective Opening Party (IRL) AGYU & outdoors on York University Commons
The Art Gallery of York University is excited to present the first solo exhibition of Toronto-based performance art matriarch Jess Dobkin, curated by Emelie Chhangur.
“Driven by an interest in how one might performatively engage the energetic liveness of archives from polysemous perspectives Jess Dobkin’s Wetrospective takes up and takes apart the linear, patriarchal, and authoritative conventions of archive-making impulses. Channeling them instead toward more rhizomatic readings and feminist relationalities, she upcycles her own archive of past performances in ways that constitute her concept of “bendy-time.” The “archive” performs in this exhibition at the same time as it makes sense of (as in making sensate and sensual) an artist’s 25-plus-years of performance art work—including all its material and immaterial remains, reminders, and affective labour. This exhibition demands of archives what we expect from performance: the live encounter of experience in a ritual of transformation. Taking past performances as cues and as clues, this exhibition is a polytemporal, feminist, and queer experience of an archive of possible futurities, open to forever accommodating the always-shifting communities of belonging that Dobkin’s performance practice entails and magically conjures.” ~Emelie Chhangur, curator
For more information, schedule of axillary programming, gallery hours and COVID-related protocols for all events and the exhibition, please visit: https://agyu.art/project/wetrospective/

13. CALL FOR PROPOSALS: Performance Research Vol. 27, No. 4: ‘On Care’ Deadline date: September 27, 2021; Location: the world; Source: Performance Research
Call for Proposals: Vol. 27, No. 4: ‘On Care’ (June 2022) Proposal Deadline: 27 September 2021
Issue Editors: Felipe Cervera (LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore) Helena Grehan (Murdoch University, Australia) Kristof van Baarle (University of Antwerp, Belgium)
This issue of Performance Research seeks to expand on and advance ideas and practices of care. During the last decade, the arts have adopted care as a hands-on concept to rethink how work is created and how it relates to its audiences. Increasingly aware that care is a performative practice that also requires imagination (Hamington 2010), artists have investigated what an aesthetics of care could be, and have sought ways to take care of one another during the creative process, even extending that care well beyond the boundaries of their work and of the communities they assemble. Similarly, arts organizations feel the need to take better care of the people and structures they consist of—an act that requires a change to these structures and institutions, which are often already in a state of crisis. Yet, if the last decade can be characterized in any way, it would probably be relative to the speed with which new crises emerge, challenging any form of established sociality and therefore the ways we think and engage with care. How we might think of care now—as an idea, a practice, a politics and/or an actuality that answers to the fluidity of contemporary crises and situations?
The theme of ‘On Care’ emerged from a week-long workshop at the Croatian National Theatre Ivan Zajc in Rijeka held from 3 to 7 June 2019. The Rijeka workshop was the initiative of the Croatian National Theatre, Rijeka; general manager and artistic director Marin Blažević; along with then vice-president of Performance Studies International (PSi) Professor Peter Eckersall. They invited fifteen international artists and academics to join them and colleagues in Rijeka to plan what was to be the 2020 PSi conference. The workshop was supported by the European Capital of Culture initiative and allowed the group to collaborate on developing a theme and a curatorial vision for the conference that would be held when Rijeka was European Capital of Culture in 2020. Of the many ideas and concepts workshopped that week the idea that the group—of which the editors of this issue were part—kept returning to was that of care. Questions and discussions swirled around this notion repeatedly, with the team eventually settling on ‘Crises of Care’ as the conference theme. Little did we know then that the term and actuality of crisis would become much more profound and widespread, leaching from concerns at that time with climate change, digital disruption, neo-liberal politics, precarity and issues concerning refugees and asylum seekers (among others) to the current situation where, while those crises remain, they have been amplified, extended and augmented by the pernicious force of COVID-19 and its far-reaching destruction. Nor did we know that the pandemic would engulf the idea of care, of society and of the possibility of a conference—that the world would be transformed, and that care would take centre stage in multiple and unexpected ways.
This issue invites articles, manifestos, position papers, interviews and artist pages that think through the idea and practice of care. Topics may include but are not limited to: Caretaking and life stewardship Aesthetics of care Art as a caring apparatus End of life care and COVID-19 The limits of care ethics Who has the right to care? The politics of over-caring How to care critically Academic work and social care Curatorial and editorial care (or lack thereof) The caring state or caring apparatuses of biopolitics Rituals of self-care Care and race/identity Trans-species care The appropriation of ‘care’ by the neo-liberal machine The politics of caring or refusing to care Care as relational responsibility Care beyond life—beyond the human Theatrical care: mask work and hand gestures
