1. FADO Performance Art Centre presents Intra Muros I, by Martine Viale

Date: February 2 - 4, 2012; City: Toronto, Canada; Source: FADO

 

FADO Performance Art Centre presents Intra Muros I
A performance installation by Martine Viale (Montréal, Quebec)

 

Artscape Triangle Gallery

38 Abell Street, Toronto

Thursday February 2 - Saturday February 4, 2012
Performance installation in progress: February 2 and 3, from 2pm-7pm
Closing performance action: Friday February 3, at 8pm (with reception following)
Artist talk: Saturday February 4, from 1-3pm

Through self-displacement, successive actions and minimal materials, Intra Muros I proposes a sense of contemplation, as the artist gradually tries to accumulate meanings through a constant folding and unfolding of images. Pursuing a process based on persistence, Viale’s work suggests multiple stages of working, rather then presenting a completed product. Transformation through time and accumulation plays a major role in the elaboration of the work. The artist’s body becomes a “doing body” engaged in creating, layering and collecting traces of actions, which progressively transform the space and the artist herself.

Martine Viale is a Montreal based performance artist. Viale creates installations using the process of performance. In her work she values time, a direct engagement with the space and process action, allowing her to develop many perspectives at once. Her work has been presented in Montreal, and across Canada and internationally in Brazil, New York, Boston, The Philippines, France, Belgium, Serbia, Scotland, Spain and Denmark.

Saturday, January 29 at 9pm

Within Mirrors: Paul Clipson + Chandan Narayan

Live Performance!

Sponsored by FADO Performance Art Centre

 

The 8 fest is happy to host San Francisco Super 8 filmmaker Paul Clipson for his first live appearance in Toronto. Clipson's films are sensual, multilayered evocations of the Bay Area's natural surroundings, characterized by meticulous superimpositions, beautiful microphotography and a lyrical unfolding of time. For close to the last decade, Clipson has been collaborating with musicians (most notably San Francisco's Tarantel) on live performances that exist somewhere between a live score, with Clipson's films being the fifth member of the band. Recently, he has been able to tour his work internationally, collaborating with local improvisers to continually reinvent the experience of watching these beautiful films. Tonight he will be joined by local musician Chandan Narayan on autoharp and swaramandal.

3. CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Ugly Duckling Presse

Deadline date: January 3, 2012; City: the world; Source: Natalie Loveless

Ugly Duckling Presse would like to introduce you to Emergency INDEX, an
annual print publication documenting new performance in the words of its
creators. Because performance transcends disciplinary boundaries, INDEX
includes performances of every kind, from any genre, made anywhere in the
world for any purpose.

Emergency INDEX is modeled after the “Artist’s Chronicle” of the magazine
High Performance (1978-1997). In its pages, early performance art in the
1970s defined itself through actual works as reported by the artists who
made them. Though INDEX is not limited to performance art, it uses a
structure similar to the “Artist’s Chronicle” to allow makers of all kinds
of performance to define the state of their field.

Each document printed in INDEX will include a written description focused on
the problems driving the work and the tactics used to address them, an image
of the performance, and information about its dates, locations, and
creators. An index of terms shared by the varied contributors will serve to
connect geographically or stylistically far-flung works. We especially
welcome political, commercial, scientific, therapeutic, or other works not
typically documented as performance.

If you would like to document a performance work you made in 2011, please
proceed to the INDEX website (www.emergencyindex.com) and read the
guidelines for submission. The deadline for submission is January 3, 2012.

5. CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Total Art Journal

Deadline date: unspecified; City: everywhere; Source: Total Art Journal

 

Total Art Journal is a peer-reviewed journal that seeks to establish a dynamic forum for interdisciplinary discourse grounded in the arts. We are committed to nurturing new ways of understanding and interrogating work that crosses the practice-theory lines endemic to traditional academic and artistic worlds. The journal takes its name from Alan Kaprow’s 1958 essay, “Notes on the Creation of a Total Art,” and sees performance, understood as a broad category of analysis, as central to the post-disciplinarity at stake in the concept of a Kaprowian “Total Art.” Grounded in local attention, performance here names an approach rather than a discrete artistic practice – an approach that brings with it new ways of doing work at the intersections of art/life, theory/practice, and academia/activism. The editors seek submissions of innovative work from any disciplinary background, although work dealing with new and contemporary practices and work that challenges disciplinary distinctions is especially welcome.

 

Total Art Journal is comprised of both an online edition and a print edition. Our inaugural web-issue will appear Summer 2011.

 

We publish work in the following formats:

1) Peer-reviewed essays of 4,000 - 6,000 words in length.

2) Interviews in traditional and experimental forms, both transcribed and in video format.

3) Manifestos of 1,000 – 2,000 words.

4) Reports written from the midst or in the aftermath of artmaking and/or research practice.

 

We are also looking to develop other types/forms of projects and welcome proposals for experimental and multi-format submissions.

 

Submissions:

The author’s name should appear only on the title page and in the file name of the submitted document (e.g., jones.doc). Please direct inquiries and submit manuscripts to Natalie S. Loveless at editor@totalartjournal.com. For video, phototographic and web-based project content please send inquiries to jeff@totalartjournal.com. For safe delivery please write “TotalArtJournal Submission” in the subject line.

9. WORKSHOP: Solo Dancing with Dawne Carleton

Dates: January 25 - March 28, 2012: City: Toronto, Canada: Source: Claude Wittmann

 

Solo Dancing with Dawne Carleton
10 weeks ($300)*
Wednesdays January 25 through March 28 2012, 4:30-6:30 p.m.
HUB14 (located at 14 Markham St., one block west of Bathurst just north of Queen)
3 participants per class – additional class groups will be scheduled as needed.  No drop-ins, except in first class.
 
"I've gained access to a new range of movement, a deeper presence of mind, and maybe, more importantly... experience of being critical of what I make through performance without being self-critical."  - Former participant
 
In this master class we’ll use the pared-down structure of unaccompanied solo improvisation to discover what each participant is doing when they improvise, clarify what they would like to be doing, and practice staying connected to their intention, or score, in performance. Beginning with one-minute improvisations, students will be led in a focused process involving dancing, reflecting, observing and more dancing as they build toward 10-minute improvisations in the final class. Additional exercises will be introduced to elucidate specific concerns as they arise. Each class will begin with 30 minutes of silent, self-directed warm-up/practice. An optional informal showing of work will take place during the final class.
 
This class is designed for dancers interested in moving beyond habitual blocks and limitations, developing presence, skill and impact in improvised performance and establishing their own body of improvisation-based work. Practitioners in related fields seeking advanced study are also welcome.
 
For more information and to register, please contact Dawne Carleton:

dawnecarleton@yahoo.com

Instructor Dawne Carleton is a dance artist who specializes in improvisation.  She currently performs movement-listening, a sensory exploration which emerged from her 20-year practice of Contact Improvisation.  She received professional training at the New York Dance Intensive under the tutelage of Nina Martin and at the European Dance Development Center in Arnhem, The Netherlands. Carleton has been described as a choreographer who is “examining what the art form is...enhanc[ing] our understanding of who and what we are as embodied creatures” (The Dance Current).  She also works as a creative facilitator.

PAS # 24

Themomentwhenanappleistooheavyandhastofalldowntotheground

March 3 - 18, 2012 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Presented in cooperation with the M:ST 5.5 Performance Art Festival and the Alberta College of Art and Design. Deadline for applications February 20th 2012. 

***only a few places left!!!***

 

http://www.mstfestival.org

http://pas.bbbjohannesdeimling.de/index.php?/2012/the-apple-moment

 

Background
Every moment is a multi-layered phenomenon, framing our orientation and perception. It gives us an essential notion of living processes and exposes sensations, which would be invisible for our senses without. Duration makes us aware of the relationship between the moment ´just before´ and ´right after´. It’s not a coincidence that we connect the idea of the past and the future with food, because the influence of time on food gives us a sharp image about the nature of transformation. We can witness these changes of shape, consistence, color or smell and after a certain while every organic material will fall apart, disappear and transformed in something new. This happens first at all biologically, but the consequences of this process strongly affect our notion of witnessing philosophically on memory. Even we would like to keep the moment of the first kiss, the biggest fail and the greatest success, fresh and tasty in a fridge, we have to deal with the effect on it, like time effects food and any organic structures. Ageing could be understood as an action.

 

Themomentwhenanappleistooheavyandhastofalldowntotheground is researching the notion, perception and use of time based processes in a context of an artistic work. Performance Art is able to express the moment of transformation in this full essential meaning like time gives to food. We will question this moment in the middle, the intensified dialogue between the ´just before´ and the ´right after´. Often we use poetry to explain these moments of standstills, of speed and not imaginable distances or duration between our experiences and their expressions. But what will remain and leave traces in the head of the audiences and how could it be possible to modulate this by using tools like long- or short duration, repetition or detail shots? How is it possible to describe the aftershock of time and how can we extend this in a performative way?

 

M:ST 5.5 Performance Art Festival
The Mountain Standard Time Performance Art Festival Society (M:ST) ensures that performative art practices are recognized and sustained in the Southern Alberta region. M:ST fosters innovation and collaboration among local, national, and international artistic communities. M:ST’s main activity is the organization and presentation of a biennial performative art festival. This Festival is a collaborative endeavour between ten Southern Alberta arts organizations. This collaborative structure allows the Festival to represent each organization’s mandate and audience, while providing opportunities for cross-disciplinary and inter-organizational exchange. The result is a unique participatory context, where artists and audience experience contemporary performative work outside of more traditional festival or gallery models.

 

Working method and Strategies
With the guidance and direction of the facilitators, 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 color and characterize how we communicate and deal with the body in time and space during performance. The main objective of PAStudies is to understand the body as a tool and to use this tool to communicate effectively in performance. Besides the artistic opportunity, PAStudies provide some cultural specials.

 

PAS – Performance Art Sudies OFFERs:
-to develop an Art Performance with technical, pedagogical and artistically guidance
-to investigate and work with a variety of performative exercises in various conditions, in- and outdoor which focuses on: body, time, space, concentration, endurance (both in groups and individually) and images.
-a final public presentation of the performance (media promotion, poster, mailing) and final celebration
-Video and photo documentation of the process and final presentation, made by our PASphotographers
-publication of the Documentation on PAS website and other Performance Art related websites and blogs
-Contacts with artists, curators and art institutions in Canada
-Meeting and cooperation with other like-minded people from other countries
-Encounters, lectures and discussions with the invited artists of the festival
