Archival Alchemy® with Joyce LeeAnn
Tuesday, September 21
Register to receive the Zoom link here: http://agyu.as.me/schedule.php
AGYU and FADO Performance Art Centre welcome you to an on-line artist engagement with Joyce LeeAnn presented as part of the solo exhibition, Jess Dobkin's Wetrospective. During our time together, she will lead us on a journey to explore archival processing as performance art. Joyce LeeAnn is a certified archivist, an interdisciplinary artist, and the founder of Archival Alchemy®. As an archivist, she has worked for a community archive, a corporate archive, a large public library, and a prestigious museum. However, her archival praxis began as a young girl, and as an act of decolonization she centers her innate methods. Through her artistic projects, she is creating an archive of everything that she has conquered and is overcoming. This is the essence of Archival Alchemy®. Created in 2017 and cultivated directly from Joyce LeeAnn’s practice, Archival Alchemy® is a small business that supports institutions and artists to activate and enrich archives. ABOUT JOYCE LEEANN This artist engagement is presented in community with the AGYU as part of a constellation of talks, perfromances and public engagements for Jess Dobkin’s Wetrospective. The AGYU would like to thank: 16 TONNES, ampd*, FADO Performance Art Centre, franklin furnace, Hemispheric encounters (SSHRC), polyjohn, QUEST AV and Sensorium.

4. EVENT: New Performance Turku Festival 2021: SURVIVAL Date: September 3–5, 2021; Location: Turku, Finland; Source: NPK
New Performance Turku Festival 2021: SURVIVAL
ARTISTS Tytti Arola (FI) Maija Hirvanen (FI) Minerva Juolahti (FI) Maria Kananen (FI) Tiia Kasurinen & Johanna Naukkarinen (FI) Maire Karuvuori (FI) Katriina Kettunen (FI) & Olga Spyropoulou (GR/FI) Antti Laitinen (FI) Tuija Lappalainen (FI) Diana Soria Hernández (MX/FI) Tomasz Szrama (PL/FI) Antti Tolvi (FI) Timo Viialainen (FI) Jani Petteri Virta (FI)
The year 2021 marks the 10th anniversary of the New Performance Turku Festival! The theme of the anniversary year is SURVIVAL. The performance art works will address topics such as surviving in extreme conditions and survivalism as a phenomenon, but also approach more subtle survival strategies and coping mechanisms during ecological emergencies, the pandemic and in the current and post-catastrophic world.
New Performance Turku Festival 2021 artists are Finland-based, internationally active artists across the performance art discipline. The festival has also invited researches, Marjukka Parkkinen and POLIMA research project (Academy of Finland), both affiliated to the University of Turku.
In the context of performance art the survival modes can be brought up and be amplified through discussion and festival works. Essential elements for resilience enhancement are the significance of the community, participation and sharing. The SURVIVAL theme is inviting the audience, artists and the art scene to recover and carry on together.
Please note that although the festival is free of charge, almost all works require pre-registration. For more information and to book your seat, visit:

5. EVENT: Open Flow presents Action Art Encounter Date: September 5, 2021; Location: Chicago, USA & on-line; Source: Carron Little
Presented in partnership with Out of Site & Experimental Sound Studio Open Flow: Action Art Encounter
September 5, 2021 11am–1pm CT (6pm–8pm ECT)
Émilie Franceschin Michelle Lacombe Carron Little Manuel Macco
Curated by Martine Viale
Reflecting on live actions in the public space in relation to these challenging times, can we consider live stream platforms as other sites for experimental practices? In this context where we control exactly what we show and what we hide, what connections do we make between the necessities of our actions and the images we choose to communicate? Without thinking that live platforms should, in any way, replace the direct experience of action art, I believe that it is quite crucial to collectively rethink several ways of meeting and continuing to make work, as well as to reflect on the various forms of dissemination of action art. Perhaps it is possible to find a balance that would enable us to explore these questions and to adapt without compromising the work, be it radical, subtle or furtive. In order to open a common space of reflection on these subject matters, I wished to gather the work of four women artists, who question the cultural constructions in relation to the image of the body and specifically the female body. Whether it is establishing strategies of discomfort to explore certain evocative qualities of the unspectacular or embodying gestures that attempt to distort a situation in order to address opposites such as attraction and repulsion, these women share a very personal way of exploring notions of limits and resistance, while using the body as a site of experience and possibilities.

6. CALL FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST: Rhubarb Festival Deadline date: September 10, 2021; Location: Toronto, Canada; Source: BIBT
Call for Expressions of Interest: Rhubarb Festival Presented by Buddies in Bad Times Theatre
We are currently seeking expressions of interest for the 2022 Rhubarb Festival, Canada’s longest running festival of new and experimental performance. Like this past February’s Book as Festival, Festival as Book, Rhubarb is transforming once again for 2022. After more than a year away from the theatre, we are craving the spectacle of live performance and the possibilities of the theatrical space. Yet, instead of rushing a return to the before and the inherent failings within, we seek to activate a renewed relationship to time, collaboration, and context. As such, we’ve invited architect and installation artist, Andrea Shin Ling to create a large-scale installation for the Buddies in Bad Times Theatre Chamber space, conceived in conversation with Festival Director Clayton Lee. Participating Festival artists will create works that respond to and engage with Andrea’s prompt and installation.

ANTI – Contemporary Art Festival takes place in Kuopio from September 14–19, 2021. As we approach our 20th festival, amid these challenging times, we turn to an idea that sits at the heart of ANTI Festival’s mission – free to attend for audiences, the festival is framed from within an idea of a gift. We celebrate two decades of activity, to think through the founding principle of the festival – to give, to be in the act of giving. As usual, the festival participates in various topical discussions and shakes our notions on the human, the society and the arts.
We have designed the festival to take into account everything needed for a COVID safe festival experience. Several artworks can be experienced alone or in small groups. See our guidelines for a COVID safe festival experience here: antifestival.com/en/covid-19
The festival works are free of charge but you need to book a seat. Information on how to book your seats can be found on the website.

12. 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 Please visit www.performance-research.org for the complete call for submission text and to read the general guidelines for submitting. Schedule: Proposals: 27 September First drafts: 17 December Final drafts: 11 February Publication: June 2022 Issue-related enquiries should be directed to: Helena Grehan, Murdoch University: H.Grehan@murdoch.edu.au Issue contacts: All proposals, submissions and general enquiries should be sent direct to Performance Research at: info@performance-research.org

16. TO WATCH: How to survive the pandemics? / Guillermo Gómez-Peña Date: now; Location: on-line; Source: VestAndPage
VestAndPage continue their “momentum” series of conversations with: How to survive the pandemics?
For the fourth episode of the momentum series, "How to survive the pandemics?", Andrea Pagnes (VestAndPage) has been in a poetic exchange with the artist, activist and poet Guillermo Gómez-Peña. Over the course of one and a half years since February 2020, they have exchanged over a series of video meetings and online documents. They collected their poetic and philosophical considerations on what they saw evolving – testimonies of their times. We see them documenting a chronicle response to multiple pandemics, including COVID-19, the viruses of fear, racism, confinement, forced displacement and mental illness. Pagnes and Gómez-Peña shed a radical light of words onto the abysses of our times, such as white supremacy, oppression, violence, digital isolation, and ultimately: the survival of it all through art-making.
Guillermo Gómez-Peña is a performance artist, writer, activist, radical pedagogue, and artistic director of La Pocha Nostra's performance troupe. Born in Mexico City, he moved to the US in 1978, and since 1995, his three homes have been San Francisco, Mexico City and the "road". His performance work and 21 books have contributed to the debates on cultural, generational, and gender diversity, border culture and North-South relations. For over 30 years, he has been staging seminal performance art pieces. His award-winning solo performances mix experimental aesthetics, activist politics, Spanglish humor and audience participation to create a "total experience" for the audience member/reader/viewer. Gómez-Peña is currently a Patron for the London-based Live Art Development Agency and a Senior Fellow in the Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics.
Welcome to the momentum of the pandemics.
