6. EVENT: 5x4 Date: August 8, 2008; Source: Cara Spooner
5 x 4: a performance installation with 20 performers and 20 household objects
August 8, 2008 Doors at 8:30pm Cinecycle (129 Spadina Avenue, Toronto)
$5-10 Sliding scale For reservations/guest list email fivebyfour@gmail.com
Through repetition and serendipitous synchronicity, the performance investigates the role of an individual within a system. The audience will be free to browse through the grid created by the performers (and their objects) and can decide whom to watch, in what order and for what length. Repetition and correspondence between performers will amplify what occurs in everyday life - coincidences, shared space and the relationship of personal histories. Ritualistic repetition, seemingly banal gestures and minimal unison movement will depict how inner rhythms connect with the rhythms of other people.
