1. FADO UPDATE
Summer is upon us here in Toronto, and we bring you the July edition of the Fado newsletter a bit early, as our offices will be closed from now until July 6.
Paul Couillard, Fado's Performance Art Curator (and only staff member) will be on tour with Fado Board member Ed Johnson, presenting three new Duorama performances in Geneva at the Points d'impact festival presented by Piano Nobile from June 29 - July 1 (http://www.pianonobile.ch), and one in Berlin as a special presentation of Stammtisch at Sophiensaele on July 3 (http://liveartwork.com/stammtisch/?page_id=11). This will mark a new chapter in their ongoing Duorama collaboration, as they begin with the hundredth performance in the series!
Later in July, Fado will be back in full swing with the final installment in our longest running series, FIVE HOLES. Place your taste buds on high alert for matters of taste, a series of 4 experiential performances designed for audience member's mouths.
We would also like to call your attention to several new critical essays that have been added to the Fado webstie recently. Irene Loughlin considers Naufus Ramirez Figueroa's The Sun Is Crooked in the Sky; My Father Is Thrown over My Shoulders (http://www.performanceart.ca/idea/figueroa/essay.html); Allyson Mitchell considers Cindy Baker's Fashion Plate (http://www.performanceart.ca/idea/baker/essay.html), and Paul Couillard considers Mimi Nakajima's Wind doesn't blow branches (http://www.performanceart.ca/intl/japan/nakajima/essay.html). Three great articles to add to your summer reading list!

2. FADO EVENT: FIVE HOLES: matters of taste
July 13 - 23, 2006
FIVE HOLES: matters of taste
Curated by Paul Couillard
July 13 - 20, 2006
Co-sponsored by the Ontario College of Art & Design and offthemapgallery
FIVE HOLES foregrounds our bodies by examining aspects of the five basic human senses. The presence of bodies – the performer's body and the audience members' bodies – is an essential element of performance. We 'perform' when we bring our bodies into relationships with an audience in time and space. FIVE HOLES is an ongoing series (since 1995) that considers some of the ways in which sight, touch, smell, hearing and now, taste, allow us to perceive.
Taste is perhaps the most 'personal' of all the senses. It is both primal – providing the impulses that drive consumption – and individualized: one person's desire is another's poison. While the word 'taste' is often associated with the concept of aesthetic discernment, matters of taste places its emphasis on a specific, visceral definition of taste: the perception of flavour and texture that takes place inside our mouths. This series explores the implications of a sense that operates through the placement of foreign material inside one's body. matters of taste is not concerned with the familiar social terrain of banquets and dinner parties so much as the links between physical sensation, unconscious/conscious drives, and our mouths as a point of contact with the external world. How does one orchestrate a performance for another's mouth? What are the dynamics that seduce, persuade or convince others to put things in their mouths? What are we or aren't we willing to put in our mouths? What intentions are bound up in the impulse to stimulate one's taste buds? What does our sense of taste reveal about our internal desires and external projections?

Lactation Station Breast Milk Bar
Jess Dobkin
The Ontario College of Art & Design Professional Gallery
100 McCaul Street, Main Entrance, Second Floor
At the Lactation Station Breast Milk Bar, audiences are invited to sample pasteurized human breast milk, donated by lactating new mothers. Participants will be guided through the tastings and given information about the donors’ milk attributes, to enhance the appreciation of each specimen’s unique flavor. The performance takes the primal bodily function of breastfeeding, which has been socially regulated as a private and concealed act, and brings it to a public environment. Female and male participants are welcome to discuss the issues honestly, with a sense of play and without judgment. For safety, all donors will be screened, and breast milk will be pasteurized and then culture tested before sampling.
Jess Dobkin’s performances, artist’s talks and workshops are presented at museums, galleries, theatres, universities and community centers throughout North America. She creates innovative live and video solo performances, as well as multiple artist productions.
Her creative endeavors have received wide support and recognition, including repeated funding from the Franklin Furnace Fund for Performance Art and the Astraea Foundation, and awards from the Canada Council for the Arts, the Ontario Arts Council, and the Toronto Arts Council. Her work has toured North America, and has been presented at renowned avant-garde venues in New York, including P.S.122, The Kitchen, LaMama, Dixon Place, Judson Memorial Church, and the WOW Cafe. In Toronto, her work has been presented at the Rhubarb! Festival, SPIN Gallery, the Inside/Out Festival, the Hysteria Festival, and other venues. She lives in Toronto.

Jess Dobkin & Gyrl Grip

Saturday, July 15, 8 pm
Kobe
Gyrl Grip (Lisa Newman & Llewyn Máire)
offthemapgallery
712 Lansdowne Ave (the back building)
Kobe beef are the Cadillacs of the cow world. They are raised in beautiful green open pastures, are fed beer to whet their appetites and are massaged with sake to keep their muscles marbleized and their skin soft. This performance considers the preparation of Kobe beef, as well as the fetishization of decadence through consumption. Assisted by her "handlers" and Gyrl Grip collaborator Llewyn Màire, Lisa Newman will have her body "prepared" in the manner of expensive meat. This performance is not so much pro-vegetarian as it is an exploration of decadence, food, and sacrifice.
The Gyrl Grip is driven by the desire to reveal, and de-veil challenging issues that exist within postmodern life and society. Their goal is not to provide answers, but to expose the difficult questions hidden behind cultural taboos and media spectacle, and to provide a forum for dialogue (internal and external) through the performative act. The core members of the grip are co-founders of the Portland, Oregon based 2 Gyrlz Performative Arts, Lisa Newman and Llewyn Máire (with their associated Avatars).
Since forming in 1998, the Gyrl Grip has manifested over 25 public showings. Notable performances include: the Proud to Put Out text-based performance series hosted in Portland by 2 Gyrlz, participation in the 2002 Black Sun Festival in Washington State, Full Nelson 5 in Los Angels (2003), FluXconcert PDX (2003), and street performances throughout the Pacific Northwest. “Boot Camp”, which explores violence against transpeople through live action and media, was presented in Helsinki and Turku, Finland in 2004 as part of Studio Là-Bas' Space Contentions festival, as well as in Victoria, B.C. "Segue" was performed at Lewis & Clark College's annual Gender Symposium in March of 2006.

Liquid Skyline
Irene Loughlin (with the assistance of sound artist Guillermo Galindo, fashion designer Jan Oosterhuis & social acupuncturist Darren O'Donnell)
The Ontario College of Art & Design Professional Gallery
100 McCaul Street, Main Entrance, Second Floor
What do aliens eat, and will they eat me?
Irene Loughlin remembers Toronto from her days as an OCAD student in the late 1980s, a period of pacifying and distressing self-absorption characterized by both viscerally heightened sensory experiences and a profound sense of disassociation. Taking inspiration from the film Liquid Sky (circa 1983) – which Loughlin reads as a historical document evoking landscapes of self-constructed loft dwelling, hand-made and vintage clothing, gender dysphoric and feminist monologues, 1980s performance art and early video and sound technology – Liquid Skyline offers a superficial solution to the pressures of contemporary urban existence. In the film, Margaret begs the flying saucer that has landed on her rooftop to take her away. She has witnessed alien consumption of persons engaged in sex or injecting heroin, and hopes to be similarly consumed. In the performance environment, we may hope to be likewise transported by the orgasmic sensory delight of vapoury cocktails, flavoured lip glosses, brightly coloured Jell-O substances, powdered Splenda, Cheese Whiz, and other synthetic materials. Seemingly beyond hope and caught in the loop of the consumption/destruction cycle of late capitalism, we might momentarily engage in a kind of synthetic, sensory forgetting that dispels our problems – an indulgence prompted by the sensory aspect of taste.
Irene Loughlin is a performance artist who also works in the areas of installation and video. She has studied at the Ontario College of Art and Simon Fraser University, and has attended the NSCAD studio program in Tribeca, New York. She has presented her work in various national and international contexts including the Museo de Arte Contemporaneo and the Klaus Steinmetz Gallery (San Jose, Costa Rica), The Western Front, Grunt Gallery, Xeno Gallery, Gallery Gachet, and The Society for Disability Art and Culture (Vancouver), Centre for Art Tapes (Halifax) and Projet/Projo - Studio 303 (Montreal).
Loughlin has produced several works for the Vancouver Performance Art Biennial including "NADIA" (2005). She has been a member of the desmedia collective over the past four years, a group of artists that facilitates peer learning workshops in video and editing skills for residents of the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver. Irene Loughlin was recently awarded the Lynch Staunton Award for mid-career work in the interdisciplinary category.

The Oral Projects
Tejpal S. Ajji
Regent Park
(call the Fado hotline for details: 416-822-3219)
For this project, apartment building models made from mouth freshening strips will be placed in the mouths of willing Regent Park residents. The models melt as demolition crews raze local apartment complexes.
Tejpal S. Ajji's practice investigates social welfare programmes, particularly the government housing apartments in which he currently resides. State run programmes that define and maintain groups in society are of interest, as Ajji sees their influence exerted ‘invisibly’. How his family’s rent is determined illustrates this invisibility. As his mother’s income increases, her rent increases in proportion. There is a constant plateau that asserts the welfare state through stagnated economic development. The relationship between private housing developments and gentrification projects next to government housing properties are studied for the possible tensions between residents and developers.
Malton, the suburban Ontario town where Ajji resides, has a high immigrant population of South Asian and West Indian descent. Government processes of immigrant normalization and the assimilation of Canadian social codes are used as models to study behaviour, adaptation and disruption. Toronto’s international airport is located in Malton. The global flow of illness as Toronto witnesses with the SARS outbreak and the current Bird Flu scare is a recent area of investigation into ‘invisible structures’.

The Instructors
Danièle Massie’s motivation to overcome a physical challenge has led her to practices in which she could allow her body to reveal and express its wisdom in movement–to return to her body as a source of inexhaustible nourishment and knowledge, and thus become her most reliable teacher. Her study of perception in dance performance for dancers and non-dancers, along with her interest in everyday movement as dance has informed her work as choreographer and performer. Danièle is a post-graduate at the Gestalt Institute of Toronto, and brings a movement focus to her private practice as well as her work with student actors.
As an athlete, Jack Panster used to train his body to reach peak performance. His background as a Gestalt therapist, leader, and educator, as well as his keen interest in non-Western philosophies have led Jack to adopt an alternative, body-centered attitude in his life in which he moves and is also ‘moved’ by his body. He now believes that even body symptoms and movement difficulties can be relevant when followed with awareness and wonder. Jack uses this process-oriented approach in his private practice and in his work with university students.
About Gestalt Therapy
In its purest application, Gestalt therapy addresses only what is happening in the moment. It is a present-centered and experiential approach to personal change. Through living in the present we are able to take responsibility for our responses and actions. To be fully present in the here and now offers us more excitement, energy, and courage to live life directly.
