1. FADO NEWS: What’s been happening
YOU WISH YOU LIVED IN TORONTO Trust us, you do. FADO has been hard at work lately, and we have experienced some amazing performances in the last two months. Including Mothering, a 4-day performance installation from Toronto’s own Moyan King, performed with Dayna McLeod and Nathalie Claude. Mothering treated Toronto to some serious pampering by our resident “moms” and we won’t ever be the same again.
A few days later… Polish Power Players/Tiny Therapeutic Theatre. Dariusz Foczuk and Arti Grabowski gave stunning performances at XPACE.

2. FADO NEWS: What’s happening right now FADO presents International Visiting Artists Series: Tel Aviv Residency BETI - New performances from Yaron David, Karin Mendelovici and Meir Tati
Friday March 27, 2009 The Theatre Centre 1087 Queen Street West, Toronto 8pm, $5
FADO is pleased to present BETI – new performance work from Tel Aviv, Israel.
FADO asked Yaron David to curate two other artists from Tel Aviv, and working together as a trio, to create a new performance in/for Toronto, using an invented collaborative working model. After a short residency in Toronto, the final work will be the culmination of a continuous improvised performance and working process that began for these three artists over a month ago. Since the start of their adventure together they met some people (one of them was Beti) and worked in various spaces. Combining video (documentation of the process starting in Tel Aviv and edited at the last moments in Toronto) and live actions, the work of these three artists speaks to the loss of, search for, and the production of meaning in a fragile and chaotic reality - the collaborative research of confusion.
About the Artists
Yaron David (b. 1970, Israel) works in video and performance art. He is also a curator and is active in the performance art scene in Tel Aviv, working with and organizing events with PAP (Performance Art Platform) including a monthly performance event (2004-2007), as well as the ZAZ International Performance Art Festival (2007, 2008). He is a writer and freelance editor, working with museums and cultural institutions. David's work has been presented at international festivals in Israel, Croatia, UK, Finland, Istanbul, Poland, France, and at the National Review of Live Art in Scotland, among other events and exhibitions. This will be David's first appearance in North America.
Karin Mendelovici (b. 1975) is based in Tel Aviv. She works in photography, video and performance. Her performance work has been primarily presented in Tel Aviv, especially in cooperation with PAP (Performance Art Platform). This will be Mendelovici's first appearance in North America.
Meir Tati (b. 1973, Israel) works in video and performance. Recent exhibitions have included the Moscow Biannual for Young Art (2008), and presentations at EPAF (Warsaw), ZAZ Festival (Tel Aviv) and other exhibitions and performances in Italy, Germany, Istanbul and Denmark. This will be Tati’s first appearance in North America.

3. FADO NEWS: What’s going to happen
Not Waterproof by Julie Andrée T. Monday April 27, 2009 The Theatre Centre 1087 Queen Street West, Toronto 8pm, $10
Lighting design by Jean Jauvin. Sound design by Laurent Maslé.
In Julie Andrée T's work, there is an unsettling blend of performance/installation and theatre. Her iconoclastic work is a hybrid of these two approaches in which dialogue, action and image are gradually distilled into poetry. Disconcerting, moving and unclassifiable, the artist deploys an astounding transformation of the body through a metamorphosis of the stage landscape. In Not Waterproof, the artist’s body is subjected to a series of ordeals, is pulverized and dirtied, becoming a dreamscape. In exposing her vulnerability, she quietly conveys the impermanent and ephemeral nature of our lives.
Julie Andrée T.’s (Quebec) installations and performance works have been shown in Canada, U.S.A, South America, Asia and Europe. She was part of PME (experimental theater company directed by Jacob Wren) for many years and has collaborated with choreographers Benoit Lachambre, Xavier Le Roy, Dominique Porte, Martin Bélanger and the filmmaker Dominic Gagnon. Since 2003 she has been part of the performance group Black Market International. She worked with the collective PONI from Brussels as co-artistic-director in 2007. Julie Andrée T. is currently guest artist Faculty at the School of museum of Fine Arts in Boston (USA) where she is teaching performance art.

5. EVENT: Performance by BBB Johannes Deimling Date: March 24, 2009; Source: BBB Johannes Deimling
What’s in my head Living images (Performance) by BBB Johannes Deimling Tuesday March 24, 2009 7:30 pm k-salon, Bergmannstrasse 54, 10961 Berlin (Undergroundstation: Südstern)
BBB Johannes Deimling born 1969 in the german town Andernach on the Rhine River, has worked since 1988 as an artist in the fields of performance art, video, object, installation, drawing and music. Especially with his performative works, the artist became internationally renowned. In numerous performance art festivals, in exhibitions and in the public he presented his ephemeral works in Germany, Poland, Switzerland, Estonia, Austria, Romania, France, Italy, Spain, England, Czech Republic, The Netherlands, Israel, Canada and Cuba.
Under the term 'agierte Bilder' - acted, operated or living images, used since 1995 the artist creates living images, which he puts into a pictorial aspect. Based on an idea or a concept a performance will be developed, with which he in an incisive moment the ontic tangible reality solidifies. In the moment of the presentation, constitutes an image that focuses everyday life or social conflict situations. Thereby accrues an acted image, which points beyond the bare experience of sense, because with each action Deimling alienates something from us that is well known. He uses well-known objects in a changed way, twists courses of action right around or remains in a pose, which appear at first sight strange, on the second all the more comes out with a deeper meaning. Here the creative act is the centre of attention. In the ultimately accruing image the precisely planned consistency of the first singular appearing gestures shows up.
He conceptualizes an image of our society, which shows it full of contradictions, sentimentally, stupidly and badly, but also affectionately, creatively and cooperatively. He observes the world from his characterized point of view. A temporary image remains in the memory of the viewer. Particularly these images of BBB Johannes Deimling, show a nearly sliding transition between usual ordinariness and art.
Deimling finds his ideas and suggestions in the banality of the all day life and combines these researches with its own biography. The artist transforms topics such as patience, will, war, religion and transportation into physical images. The head is often a focus and again in the performances whether as living sculpture covered with plasters (band aids) or as material struck against the wall. At the creation of its acted images he works often with simple, poor materials.
Performance Art Povera declared the artist a part of its ephemeral works, which gives a clear and concentrated image, because of the austere and purposeful use of the material. The frequent use of food in the performances points a clear aspect to the everyday life, which refers in Deimlings work often humorously to the caducity of our existence. Pretty often the actions or objects made in the performances, are followed up in the form of videos, objects or photography.
In cooperation with Schloss Bröllin (k-salon) the artist and educator for performance art is offering an 8day workshop entitled GRASS’N ASPHALT. For more information about the workshop please click this link: http://www.bbjohannesdeimling.de/WorkshopBroellinBerlin09.htm

Featuring new works by: Johanna Householder, Darren O'Donnell, Swintak, and jenna d. maclellan
PRESENTLY ABSENT, organized by emerging curator Sophia Zheshui Lin, is an exhibition that explores two interpretations of the states of presence and absence, the physical presence/absence of a person and the idea of presence/absence in terms of consciousness or awareness concerning the world around them.
In this exhibition: Johanna Householder delivers a message from a kidnapped rebel princess via Skype; Darren O'Donnell allow viewers to be present in the place of Omar Kadhr's absence; Swintak alludes to the fulitilty of artistic technique by transforming the contents of a dining room from something useful, to something else; jenna d. maclellan ’s work gives Canadian immigrant women a voice in the needed discussion about their efforts to participate and integrate into the patchwork of Canada. Without fear, each confronts our perceptions about what is required to be present.

For this special one-time event we bring together original design team Richard Feren and Kimberly Purtell to create an intimate, powerful evening of theatre.

All I Ever Wanted by Gale Allen and the All Girl Squadron March 27 & 28, 8pm
A performance that fuses burlesque, reality television and machismo stunt to examine and confront the lack of the female body in contemporary shock culture.

Allen has presented her performance and video works across Canada and internationally; All I Ever Wanted marks her first undertaking in a theatrical context.

10. EVENT: Performance Workshop with Helge Meyer Dates: March 28-29, 2009; Source: articule
From an Image to an Action A performance workshop with Helge Meyer
From Saturday March 28 to Sunday March 29, 2009, from 12pm to 6pm At Engrenage Noir (4521, rue St-Jacques) Limited space, reserve your place: info@articule.org
In this practice-based workshop, Helge Meyer will work with participants as they explore a variety of approaches to performance art through individual and group activities. The participants will take part in different exercises that deal with main issues in performance art like the space-body-relation, the meaning and function of time and the concept of the "other".
The body of the performer will always be the starting point of the exercises and actions. The workshops will include working in a special "performance time", different from "normal time", to explore how speed influences process and the production of images. On the second day, participants will make use of the surrounding environment, emphasizing the public nature of performance art.
Over two days, the practical work will be reinforced by in-depth looks at the works of selected artists. The participants themselves will determine the ratio between the theoretical and practical components of their work.
Helge Meyer was born in Woltwiesche, Germany in 1969. In addition to his solo practice, Helge Meyer works in parallel with System HM2T, a performance art group he founded with Marco Teubner in 1998. Since 2000, he has been working with Black Market International. He has performed in Europe, Asia, Canada, South America, Australia and the USA. Helge Meyer currently teaches performance art workshops and theory classes at the University of Hildesheim and the High School in Ilsede, Germany. His research explores questions of pain, cooperation and the history of images. In 2008, he received a PhD in Art Science/Art History from the Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart, Germany. His dissertation, about the image of pain in Performance, was published as a book in 2008 (in german "Schmerz als Bild - Leiden und Selbstverletzung in der Performance Art).

12. WORKSHOPS: Performance Art Studies with BBB Johannes Deimling Dates: various: Source: BBB Johannes Deimling
PERFORMANCE ART STUDIES with BBB Johannes Deimling 2009 Bröllin - Berlin - Dresden - Radom - Montreal - Prague - 's-Hertogenbosch
In cooperation with international organizations in Germany, Poland, the Netherlands and Czech Republic, performance artist and educator BBB Johannes Deimling will be offering various performance art workshops and opportunities in 2009. These workshops will investigate the focal questions and practices of performance art work through practical and theoretical exercises and talks, and the results of these workshops will be presented in the context of internationally recognized performance art events and festivals.
The center of the workshop focuses on self-perception and communication with the body in performance. Self perception and experience characterize the feeling in dealing with the body, time and space in performance art, as well as in ordinary communication. To understand the body as a tool, and to learn to use this tool in communication, is the main goal of these workshops. In addition to practical and theoretical studio teachings, participants will have the experience of connecting with other artists and the larger performance art community.
Performance art is always speaking about the present, is looking for debate and wants dialogue. Performance Art burgeons in the mind and in contact with others. Performance Art has an own language and own aesthetics, and as an art form, is constantly developing its signs and medias. It breaks with tradition, rejects it, renews it, refers to itself, presents new ways…and breaks it again. The method is interactive: The intermediation of performance art with the medias of performance art. The participants experiment, reflect, test, have a first-hand experience with the body, and work through a personal approach to this artform.
