1. FADO presents PERFORMANCE: ACADEMY 1 with Bethany Ides / DOORS UNLIMITED Date: September 10/17/24, 2017; City: Toronto Canada; Source: FADO
FADO Performance Art Centre is pleased to offer the first iteration of our newest recurring series Performance: Academy, with Bethany Ides’ INCONSOLABLE SOLVENCY, taking place at our new home in The Commons @ 401, over three consecutive Sundays in September.
Sunday, September 10, 3pm–6pm Sunday, September 17, 3pm–6pm Sunday, September 24, 3pm–6pm*
The Commons @ 401 401 Richmond Street West, Suite 440, Toronto
Performance: Academy is a platform in which artists constitute their own school of learning–performing pedagogy–for an audience in the form of peer-to-peer academia, where self-organizing and personal experience as knowledge is valued over institutionalized frameworks. Artists, writers and creative thinkers from the performance art milieu as well as adjacent practices such as curation, social practice, film/video and more, develop and offer mini-courses (of 3 or more sessions dissmeinted over several weeks) presenting ideas and covering a range of topics and that each facilitator is already an expert in (however one might define "expert"). A workshop in the form of a performance; a performance in the form of a school. Through a sustained commitment to collective learning, Performance: Academy transforms the concept of a course into a group performance.
INCONSOLABLE SOLVENCY Bethany Ides / DOORS UNLIMITED
What extra-sensory signals do we exchange when we trade money for goods, services and conveniences? How out of whack would a transaction have to be in order to hardly be recognizable as such? Would it–– could it–– seem like something else entirely? Like love? Like devastation? Like relief?
In this workshop, we will be troubling the methods of assessment and valuation we rely on every day in order to manage and/or mitigate our senses of security, trustworthiness, likability and fairness. Participants will work collaboratively to re-interpret and re-model concepts like “efficiency,” “transparency” and “trust,” by inventing tools for dissolving those social structures that depend on them. During each meeting, individuals and smaller clusters will propose experimental contracts or modes of currency for possible use by the group as a whole. Readings will be distributed and short process/speculative writing will be assigned each week. This workshop is offered free of charge. There is no fixed monetary cost, other kinds of equitable exchange are welcomed and encouraged.
*INFO/DETAILS
To reserve a spot in this Performance: Academy, please email info@performanceart.ca
Bethany Ides' Performance: Academy is presented in conjunction with, in relationship to, and in the context of the work she is developing in residency at HATCH entitled Deathbeds. Described as an opera created in community, Deathbeds is a multi-platform work is about desire as a contested resource and the ways various commodification compulsions affect romantic and economic ecologies alike. And how harrowing matters get when we try to break through all that–how funny but also jittery, how dizzyingly everything becomes blur the more emphatically we expect the expiration of the patient, Capitalism. With accelerated excitations, we imagine a body on the brink and tend to it even as we call for its demise.
For more information about Bethany’s presentation at HATCH, please visit the Harbourfront website: www.harbourfrontcentre.com/hatch/
ABOUT HATCH HATCH is Harbourfront Centre’s performing arts residency and presentation series–a situation where new live artworks and new audiences meet in the spirit of inquiry.
This HATCH is a setting for artworks that take beginnings—a renewable, though perhaps not limitless resource—as their subjects. A whip-fast change of direction; an inkling; a certainty of a doubt—that’s what’s being worked with. In each of these projects the human faculties of improvisation, intuition, and inspiration face a battery of questions: How did we do it? When did it happen? What does it feel like? The questioning is rendered as a score. The score is performed. And the performance becomes itself the beginning. The ostensibly unplanned brings what was planned all along into stark relief, be it sinister, structural, changeable, or all of these at once.
HATCH 13: READY AND UNPREPARED moves five artists’ projects into constellation this September in a new two-day, public studio September 21–22.
September 11–October 9, 2017 Harbourfront Centre, Toronto

Wikipedia Edit-A-Thon focusing on performance and fringe media, co-presented with FADO Performance Art Centre, Pleasure Dome, and the AGO.
Calling all writers, editors, and Wiki enthusiasts! Calling all performance artists and fringe media-makers! Let’s change official culture together, let’s rewrite the online encyclopedias, start filling in the too obvious gaps. Except for those born in libraries, Wiki procedures are anything but transparent. In an hour-long session, we’ll show you how, then provide individual assistance as you write about your own superheroes. Together we can continue the work of diversifying visual arts content and editorship on Wikipedia. We welcome past collaborators and new editors to help build Wikipedia content. No Wikipedia editing experience is necessary.
ABOUT PLEASURE DOME Since the fall of 1989, Pleasure Dome has presented diverse experimental media arts, as such we strive to nurture an appreciation for artists’ moving images in ways which are accessible, engaging and challenging, and balance our exhibition priorities to include: current practices, historical traditions, and works which are shown infrequently due to genre or format, or because their creators have traditionally been denied access to wide-spread exhibition. We are proud of our long-standing and ongoing commitment to alternative media arts and artists through commissions, the exhibition of diverse formats and perspectives, and to the development of public appreciation and critical understanding of experimental media art through the distribution and publication of critical writing on the art form. www.pdome.org

Dinco lives and works in Tijuana and Los Angeles and his research includes experimentation with performance presentation and the relationship between documentation and scholarship.
During Dinco’s iteration of Performance: Academy, participants (audience) will: take a hard (and subjective) look at the current state of performance praxis and strategies of performance presentation; examine goals, ideals and expectations with making and/or attending performance; address the relationship of performance within a visual art context, including the burgeoning trend of museums exhibiting and collecting performance; consider the Performance Festival Industrial Complex; and explore how and why all of this can (and arguably should) be challenged.
Participants will be expected to perform as part of this research and investigation.
*INFO/DETAILS Performance: Academy 2 is presented in multiple sessions and is offered free of charge to audience-participants. There is limited enrolment for this academy, so we ask that audience-participants commit to attending as many sessions as possible. This workshop is open to all participants of all levels of study and/or experience (including the just plain curious).

Workshop Description How do we listen to each other? How do we interact? How do we respond to the landscape around us? How do we engage with time and space? Cultivating attentive awareness, empathetic presence and peripheral vision, this two-day intensive will specifically locate our process in public settings, surrounded by elements of the everyday. An opportunity to deepen our explorations about how we consider, construct, and witness performance in public (non-art) contexts, participants will be invited to experiment with in-situ and in-socius performative practices – infiltrating, interventionist and relational modes of performance – while exploring the multiple and very personalized ways in which we experience and foster intimacy and connection: in ourselves, towards others, and in relation to place.
Workshop Objectives Through a gradual yet intensive learning process, this workshop will introduce participants to what is involved in the creation of a live action piece, as related to infiltrating or intervention practices that take place in public spaces. Exploring how time and space are intimately connected and linked to how we develop a relationship to the space and people around us, participants will work on presence, precision of intention and direct channeling practices, eventually working with more personalized, unpredictable and precise performative actions and structures.
The workshop will focus on various exercises such as centering, observing and energy channeling in order to experiment with a diversity of performance methods, individual activities and short solo and group presentations. The intention of this workshop is to enable the participants to develop a distinctive practice thus learning to: –understand some basic principles of performance; –manifest/communicate an authentic presence; and –personalize their approach by combining movements, words, images, objects, sound research, etc.
This workshop aims to inspire the creative process of each participant, regardless of their discipline and their artistic creation interests.
General Methodology Because of a gradual learning process, hands-on exercises, concrete directives, dynamic feedback, constructive commentaries, individual coaching demonstrations, and analysis of basic principles, the participants will discover how to be conscious of the present moment, and experience various states of body/mind in the context of structuring performative actions – in particular within interventionist practices in public spaces.
Pedagogical Approach The TouVA Collective takes its inspiration from the workshops of Sylvie Tourangeau – founding member of the Collective, and a highly regarded pioneer of performance art in Quebec. Together, we have developed an active pedagogical approach intricately linked with our artistic research by giving form to notions such as dynamic motivation- connection-expansion-action, inter-action (the performative in-between), potentiality of everyday or invisible practices, and th i po tanc oflang ag tolocat p oc andh lpon conn ctwithon ’ pa tic la and niq align ent.
About TouVA Collective Founded in the spring of 2007, the TouVA Collective (Sylvie Tourangeau, Victoria Stanton and Anne Bérubé) is a Montreal-based performance art trio that has been researching the practice of performance through multiple frameworks and approaches. In addition to presenting performances, conducting workshops, creating dynamic artist talks and offering coaching to artists in a variety of contexts – including international festivals – TouVA is a group of artist-researchers interested in a profound exploration of the performative. Working consistently from a model of exchange and dialogue, their first book, The 7th Sense will be released through Centre SAGAMIE and M:ST in the Fall of 2017.
About M:ST M:ST’s main activity is the organization and presentation of a biennial performative art festival. This Festival is a collaborative endeavour between several 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.
M:ST is committed to presenting performative works from a variety of disciplines that reflect current issues and practices in contemporary art. Through exhibitions, performances, and events, M:ST fosters the development of performative art practice among local, national and international artistic communities.

8. EVENT: The 2nd Sipa International Performance Festival 2017 Dates: September 11–20, 2017; City: Manila, Philippines; Source: Sipa
Facebook: Sipa Pinas (@sipaPErformAnCe)
Conceptualized in 2011, the project intends to create a discursive and learning environment between artists and their audience to serve as a platform for artists to react and respond to local and global issues.
“Sipa” is a native sport/game in the Philippines. Literally meaning “kick” in Filipino, the sport sipa requires discipline, focus and the creative coordination of the whole body. The project draws from this practice and initiates a healthy process of cultural exchange that showcases methods, talents and artistry as well as providing a venue to explore creative possibilities. Centered on performance art, the project emphasizes on the idea of movement: movement as motion, movement as a collective action and movement as in the progressive development of ideas. The project looks into and relates the ideas of performance as expression, cultural exchange and solidarity.
The festival looks into performance as discourse and concerns itself with social issues and interests. The project gathers artists from different countries and offers an opportunity for cultural interaction. It allows for the presentation of different and similar ideas and hopefully trigger/promote criticality. Performance and dialogue are the main components of the festival. It intends to provide a venue for critical exchange and the possibility to become a catalyst for change.
The Festival Objectives: To provide a platform for critical and socially-responsive performances; To heighten social sensitivities of both the participating artists and the viewing public; To provide a platform for interaction through cultural performance; To create a network of artists with communal interests; To relate performances to different creative methods as forms of solidarity; To arouse social interests from various stakeholders and mobilize them to become active and socially-responsible members of the society; and To consolidate creative efforts and amplify the call for just and lasting peace, freedom and social stability.
International Performance Festival: Local and foreign artists are tasked to express their situation and advocacies in the most creative means possible within the realms of visual performance which may range from conceptual to spectacular, solo to collaboration, independent to interactive or instructional, time-bound or simultaneous, stationary or mobile. Performances might also incorporate electronic media like computer, photo, video, graphics and sound.
Workshops on Performance Art: Workshops (two sessions) on performance art will be held for students/young and new performance artists focused on using the body, found objects and/or technology, to be facilitated by the artists from the Tupada Action and Media Art (TAMA) and participating foreign artists.
Art Talks: Unity starts in having an understanding on the artist and its people’s status in his country within the context of his space and time. Art forums discussing Philippine art and society situationers will be held in the host schools to create awareness on performance art and the TAMA core art practice.
Immersions: Community immersions by the participating artists by way of cultural exchanges and interactions with the Laguna people and its environs will be an integral part of the festival. Participating Countries: Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Nepal, USA, China and Philippines.
SIPAF 2017 is a collaboration initiative of the Tupada Action and Media Arts (TAMA), the UCCA University Center for Culture and the Art of PUP Sta. Mesa, and the Arts, Research and Training Institute in Southern Tagalog (ARTISTS), Inc. with 98 B Collaboratory TAMA (Tupada Action and Media Art), is a performance event group, composed of professionals, visual artists, writers, teachers and cultural workers.

9. CALL FOR RESIDENCY: The Theatre Centre RESIDENCY Deadline date: September 15, 2017; City: Toronto, Canada; Source: The Theatre Centre
Work With Us – Call for Residency Artists
Residency is a two-year program designed to support artists in developing new work. The program is tailored to the specific needs of each participating artist or collective, and the artistic impulse or idea they wish to explore.
Residency has its roots in R&D (Research & Development) program, established by The Theatre Centre in 1983.
Residency facilitates a highly collaborative artistic process that supports new work led by directors, designers, composers, choreographers, architects, visual artists, or even neurologists. We are looking for good ideas. It encourages artists to create a new work from scratch, or to re-imagine an old idea – an idea that will form the basis of a potentially important work of art.
Depending on the needs of the project, a minimum 2-year commitment is made in order to support long-term development and artistic growth. We emphasize the investigation of the artistic process and encourage artists to take creative risks, enabling them to create not only new works of art, but also new modes of creation for themselves.
Residency provides artists with access to a fully equipped theatre space with a technician, funding, and artistic & producing support.
Time Commitment: Focused Residency work periods occur in June, August and December. Residency artists are required to work during these times and publicly share the results of – and questions arising from – their process. There is also an opportunity to access one another as resources to further the growth and development of each other’s work.
Proposals should be no more than 3 pages in length and should include: –Brief history of you or your company –What is your idea? –Why does your idea/process require the support of The Theatre Centre Residency? –How does this idea sit within your overall body of work? –Support material, ie. video, sound files, photos, etc. –Support letters optional.
Deadline: September 15, 2017 by 5pm EST.
Only successful applicants will be contacted for an interview in November. We have room for two new Residency projects in 2017/18.
The Theatre Centre is committed to equity practices. We encourage applications from queer, transgender and two-spirited people, First Nations, Inuit & Métis, people of colour, and people with disabilities. www.theatrecentre.org

11. EVENT: Lilith Performance Studio's 10th Anniversary Performance Dinners Dates: September–December, 2017; City: Malmo, Sweden; Source: Lilith
The world's first and only performance studio for visual artists is turning 10 years this fall and is more alive than ever. Since the inception in 2007, Lilith Performance Studio has created over 45 large-scale solo commissions and been engaged in numerous inspiring collaborations and curator missions worldwide. Lilith wants to celebrate this with 10 very unique performance dinners of 5 beloved artists from Lilith's past! YOU ARE INVITED!
Much has changed on the international art scene over the past ten years that Lilith Performance Studio has existed. 2007, performance was a marginal art form; today it is absolutely the hottest and something that all people working in the art field must relate to. The world has finally woken up and realized that we need living art.
The visual artists Elin Lundgren and Petter Pettersson founded Lilith Performance Studio because they saw that there was an uncharted potential in the field of performance art. They wanted to explore what would come out if visual art performance were given the same production conditions as other performing arts, but with the way production work from the visual art. Part of the inspiration the got from the way the former Centre for Contemporary Art Rooseum in Malmö worked with major solo exhibitions. Their goal was to compromise as little as possible, and think everything is possible.
Throughout the years, the audience has gained access to widely different worlds to get acquainted with Lilith's live works. The studio has been transformed into the smallest details for each new artist’s collaboration. Visitors have experienced: An abstract color explosion where the entire room is embedded in color; An 11 - year old boy who opened and operated an art museum with a staff of 10 children; 100 women made-up with traces and marks of domestic abuse in the middle of the Saturday rush in the city centre of Malmö; A space filled with 10 tons of rubbish where the audience had to walk down along narrow paths; An identical copy of a backyard in Brooklyn where nine unique performance masses were held with about fifty "preachers"; A live horror movie in the beech forest of Skåne; Forty knitters on a sloping floor in a meeting with a death metal band.
Lilith's 10th Anniversary Celebration will be a series of performances titled – YOU ARE INVITED, running from September to December, all with the same starting point: An intimate dinner for 150 people. Each artist is completely free to interpret what a dinner may be: A social experiment, a colorful ceremony, a magical circus evening, or a preparation for a big anniversary. The expectations is high for what can happen within the frame of a dinner party offered at Lilith Performance Studio this fall.
The invited artists are: Einat Amir (Israel): 22–23 September Myriam Laplante (Italy): 12–14 October Odun Orimolade (Nigeria): 24–25 November The Icelandic Love Corporation (Iceland): 14–16 December
All artists the studio collaborated with since 2007 is all well documented under archives on Lilith’s website. Each invited artist will hold 2-3 dinners in a row. The dinners are open to everyone, depending on space.
