1. EVENT: Images Festival, FADO and Dancemakers presents… Dates: April 9 and 10, 2010
FADO Performance Art Centre and Dancemakers is pleased to co-present a LIVE Images program at the 2010 Images Festival.
April 9 and 10, 2010 7PM 155 Mill Street, Building 58 The Cannery, Toronto
Sonya and Layla Go Camping, a hybrid dance and video work by the New York-based performance duo robbinschilds (Sonya Robbins and Layla Childs), forges new territory in the Images Festival's ongoing explorations of how media art and performance collide. Though trained and rooted in the history of choreography, robbinschilds often works outside of that discipline, engaging in site-specific and installation-based performances which contain elements of video, music and sculpture.
An absurd, playful and humorous performance, Sonya and Layla Go Camping is built around a narrative that folds back in on itself over the course it's duration, creating a sort of structural feedback loop over three distinct acts. The title of the performance references Jacques Rivette's 1974 film Celine and Julie Go Boating, a film in which the two titular protagonists are engaged in a similar looping narrative, a mobius strip of a story that moves from action to inaction, function to dysfunction.
This structural basis is seen in the movement and overall narrative of the work, but it is also embodied through language in the script of the performance. The characters speak about the creative process, the details of which always remain elusive and unsaid. When this is heard during the first act, in the dark over a pair of walkie-talkies, it is as if the dialogue is outlining the actions that will play out in the ensuing performance. Childs asks, "How we gonna end this dance?" to which the reply "Have you guys ever thought of maybe taking this piece to France?" launches the second act, a French-language rendition of the dialogue from act one, shot in Paris with an ongoing visual re-enactment of key scenes from the Rivette film.
In Sonya and Layla Go Camping everything is a mirror, a shadow, a reference and a riff: the naked man with Mickey Mouse gloves who emerges on the stage in act one haunts and follows Sonya and Layla in the video of act two; the form of his white gloves is echoed in the hand-shaped chair on the set in act three. The making of the performance is constantly in flux, the lines between performers, writers and viewers continuously being blurred.
About the artists: robbinschilds was formed by choreographers, Sonya Robbins and Layla Childs in 2003. Focused on presenting highly visual time-based works, robbinschilds explores the juncture between architecture or place, and human interaction. robbinschilds' performance work has been presented at 122, The Kitchen, The New Museum, Triskelion Arts, PS 1, The Whitney Museum at Altria and internationally at The Donau Festival in Krems, Austria. In addition to their live work, robbinschilds' video art has exhibited at Vaska Emanouilova Gallery Sofia, Bulgaria; Zendai MoMa Shanghai, China; The New Museum, New York, NY; Reina Sofia Museum, Madrid, Spain; LACE: Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions, and was screened in BAM's 2007 Next Wave series. robbinschilds has worked with the art collective Chicks on Speed and collaborated with Brooklyn-based duo Japanther, on the rock spectacle Dinosaur Death Dance commissioned by the Performa 07 festival. In 2008, robbinschilds was commissioned to create original choreography for David Byrne's world concert tour.

4. EVENT: Stuff by Victoria Stanton and Christian Richer Date: Closing event on April 8, 2010; Source: Tenderpixel
Tenderpixel Gallery is pleased to present STUFF Victoria Stanton and Christian Richer
EXHIBITION: March 17-April 10, 2010 CLOSING EVENT: April 8, 2010 from 6-9PM
Québec artists Victoria Stanton and Christian Richer will complete an interactive gallery residency and exhibition at Tenderpixel this March and April. Stanton & Richer creatively unite to perform and produce a live installation of drawings and ambient aural textures.
Gallery visitors are invited to bring an object to which to they feel an emotional attachment (from key-ring to crystal goblet). Together, Victoria and guest will discuss the object's history and personal significance. They will also sketch individual and comparative interpretations of the precious object in question. Christian will record, and transform these conversations into atmospheric tape loops, slowly building a soundtrack that accompanies the expanding collection of drawings: Shuffling, recording, sketching, editing, broadcasting and affixing. Christian will also be performing a live set on the Closing event evening on April 8th. Stanton & Richer's residency at Tenderpixel will culminate in an immersive installation of playful images & evocative sounds: an eclectic collection of 'stuff'.

5. EVENT: Yvonne Rainer lecture Date: April 12, 2010; Source: e-artnow
The Theatrical. The Performative. The Transformative. is a lecture series introducing key figures whose artistic practice is situated at the intersection of performance art, avant-garde dance, and activist theater. Focusing on time-based and ephemeral formats that navigate between art, film, theater and dance, the series juxtaposes speakers of different generations and backgrounds who share an interest in feminist discourses and politics.
Monday, April 12 at 7:00 PM Where's the Passion, a lecture by Yvonne Rainer
Bartos Theater Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, MA, USA
Where's the Passion Yvonne Rainer made a transition to filmmaking following a fifteen-year career as a choreographer/dancer (1960-1975). Where's the Passion is a lecture in which notions of self-expression, impersonation, and the politics of looking and being looked at are examined, accompanied by documentations of two of her recent performances.
Yvonne Rainer is a choreographer/dancer, film maker, and a Distinguished Professor of Studio Art at the University of California, Irvine. Her most recent dances are AG Indexical, with a little help from H.M., a re-vision of Balanchine's Agon; RoS Indexical, a re-vision of Nijinsky's Rite of Spring; and a Performa07 commission, Spiraling Down. Her dances have been performed in New York, Los Angeles, Vienna, Helsinki, Kassel, Berlin, and Sao Paolo. A memoir, Feelings Are Facts: a Life, was published by MIT Press in 2006. Rainer is the recipient of two Guggenheim Fellowships, a Wexner Prize and a MacArthur Fellowship.
The lecture is moderated by Joan Jonas, a pioneer in video and performance art and the 2010 recipient of the Gyorgy Kepes Fellowship Prize, presented by the Council for the Arts at MIT.

12. WORKSHOP: Performance Art Studies: Territories (Killeshandra, Ireland) Dates: May 7-16, 2010; Source: BBB Joannes Deimling
From May 7-16, 2010, Performance Art Studies (PAS) will take place in Ireland, in Killeshandra, Cavan county with the topic "territories".
Animals within their territories don't know about walls, barricades or barbwires, their living grounds are often simply marked by their own smells. Human territores become more complicated, we need passports, money, flags, national identities and uniforms. History has taught us, that these territories often only exist temporarily. After each war or conflict borders have to be remarked and identities are renewed.
The PAS Workshop in Ireland will deal with the wounds that still exist from the civil war in Ireland, similar to a lot of other European countries. The topic of the workshop will also ask questions about the territories of an artist and his/her work. The relationship between an art piece and its viewer can create barriers, which the artist has to break down, or to build up. The stimulating surroundings of Killeshandra; an extraordinary landscape and an amazing natural environment, will help to find new ways to mark personal, political and artistic territories. The aim of this 10-day intensive workshop is to develop an Art-Performance. Workshop participants will present these new works during a public presentation in the landscape around Killeshandra.
Workshop Objectives and Strategies With the guidance and direction of the workshop facilitator, participants will use a variety of techniques and exercises to focus perception of one’s own personality, develop skills to communicate with the body, and transform ideas into a performative work. Personal perception and experience colour and characterize how we communicate and deal with the body in time and space during performance. The main objective of the workshop is to understand the body as a tool and to use this tool to communicate effectively in performance. Besides this artistical offer the workshop provides some cultural specials.
OFFER: - develop an Art Performance with technical, pedagogical and artistic guidance - performative exercises in various conditions, in- and outdoor (focus on: body, time, space, concentration, endurance, in groups and individual) - final public presentation of the performance (media promotion, poster, mailing) and final celebration - video- and photo documentation of the workshop (DVD), - documentation on BBB Johannes Deimling’s and other Performance Art related websites - contacts to artists, curators and art institutions in Ireland - meeting and cooperate with other like-minded people from other countries - context of the place, Irish history and culture - free accommodation in Killeshandra (10 days)
NOTE: - Price: (without travel, food and personal expenses) 400 € (350 £, 575 $, 590CHF, 1600 PLN, 6260 EEK) Confirmed registrations before the 1st of April 2010, the workshop will cost: 350 € (308 £, 503 $, 516CHF, 1420 PLN, 5480 EEK) - teaching language: english - during the workshop we will have self supply - The workshop is open to all people, both emerging and established performance artists, as well as students (minimum age 18 years) - The workshop will take place at least with 8 participants.
