Performance Platform is now programming regular events to support cultural recovery and to encourage wider audience engagement.

4. EVENT: Following the Afronautic Trail by Camille Turner Date: May 13–14, 2022; Location; Toronto, Canada; Source: Toronto Biennial of Art
The Toronto Biennial of Art presents an extensive series of free public programs during the 10-week Biennial that will take place from March 26–June 5, 2022. More than 40 local, national, and international participants will lead talks, workshops, performances, and learning programs that intersect and extend ideas emerging from the 2022 Biennial, What Water Knows, The Land Remembers. Programs will take place at several Exhibition sites, as well as at nearby outdoor locations.
Following the Afronautic Trail by Camille Turner Walk and Workshop (in-person)
Date: May 13–14, 2022 Time: 12:00pm–2:00pm each day Location: University of Toronto, St. George Campus
In Following the Afronautic Trail, artist Camille Turner invites participants on a two-day, multi- sensory exploration and interrogation of sites and monuments within the vicinity of the University of Toronto’s downtown campus. A part of the durational narratives explored within Turner’s body of work, including her 2022 Biennial works Nave and the Black Historical Navigational Toolkit co- authored with Yaniya Lee, this program brings often forgotten histories to the forefront—specifically, the evidence of Canada’s colonial linkages between the transatlantic trade of enslaved Africans and its ongoing legacies.
Beginning with a walk exploring the campus through guided visual and textual prompts, visitors will return to campus the following day and enter The Afronautic Research Lab—a futuristic reading room designed by Turner and performed by Outerregion, a group of collaborators including Karen Turner and Lee Turner. Through a workshop investigating archival resources, participants will have the opportunity to revisit their prompts in a new context to make palpable connections between the past and present.
This program is co-presented with the Art Museum at the University of Toronto and supported by the Toronto Arts Council and Women Leading Initiative.
ABOUT THE TORONTO BIENNIAL OF ART The Toronto Biennial of Art is Canada’s leading visual arts event focused exclusively on contemporary art from around the world.

CC Studio x Live Art Denmark: PERFORMANCE ART RECIPES May 13–15, 2022 Copenhagen Contemporary
Live Art Denmark has long been interested in recipes or instructions written by artists in order for others to perform their works. They can be compared to notes or manuscripts, with both the score and its interpretation seen as independent art works. In works like VIRAK revyen and Playing Up, we have rewritten historical works by for example Kirsten Justesen and Jessie Kleemann to recipes of how to perform their works at home. We have also performed existing scores by Yoko Ono, Alison Knowles and others. Since 2019, we have invited international artists to Denmark in order for them to create new recipes. The recipes are tested and developed together with Copenhagen Contemporary (CC Studio) and through them with schools and institutions. The aim is to develop new and original ideas for the inclusion of performance art works in art institutions.
Live Art Denmark is committed to teaching the immaterial and idea-based strategies by artists working after 1950. As a part of this research, we now present 3 years of research together with Copenhagen Contemporary, resulting in 9 new works/recipes.
Participating Artists: Fatric Bewong (GH) Lone Twin (UK) Johannes Zits (CA) Rachael Clerke (UK) Eva Meyer-Keller & Sybille Müller (DE) Adam James (SE) Francis Patrick Brady (IR) Miao Jiaxin (US) Taiwo Aiyedogbon (NI)

FLAM IX: Live Art Manifestation May 17–22, 2022 Amsterdam, The Netherlands
FLAM IX serves a sizzling live art program with performances, audiovisual installations and unexpected interactions. After three years of mostly working behind the scenes, this new edition brings you a wide choice of local and international artists along with their works, which can be witnessed at close range. From a post-apocalyptic one-eyed bird of a cabaret singer named Puddles the Pelican, an earth eating cultural researcher, a rubbing expert that always puts pleasure at the center of work, to a bold musical performance questioning how we perceive otherness, each one of FLAM’s performances proposes a unique experience between the public and the work. FLAM IX is unmistakably related to urgent topics of our times. It questions how our identity, which is a process of becoming, is cultural and politically framed. How can we relate to one another in a time of imbalance? Or to the otherness in ourselves? FLAM is the undercurrent of our present society. Come over and experience it!
Indoor & Outdoor FLAM opens on Tuesday 17 May with four nights of performances, audiovisual installations and choreographies in the gallery spaces of Arti et Amicitiae. From there we will move to a two-day program of outdoor performances at the public spaces of Overhoeks in the north of Amsterdam. We close this year’s manifestation with a vibrant music and performance party at Sexyland. Apart from the live art presentations, a public program of roundtable talks on themes such as the work situation of the freelance artists in the Netherlands, and workshops are being prepared.

7. EVENT: The sky held me (rainfall on hands hair lips) by Tanya Lukin Linklater Date: May 18–22, 2022; Location: Toronto, Canada; Source: Toronto Biennial of Art

The sky held me (rainfall on hands hair lips) Tanya Lukin Linklater with Ceinwen Gobert, Emily Law, Ivanie Aubin-Malo, and Laura Ortman
Performance – in-person Date: May 18–22, 2022 Time: 10:00am – 4:00pm each day Location: High Park, Toronto
The sky held me (rainfall on hands hair lips) is a series of springtime site-specific performance investigations taking place at High Park over the course of five days. Building upon the interdisciplinary practice of artist Tanya Lukin Linklater and her work in the Biennial, Held in the air I never fell (spring lightning sweetgrass song), these process-based open rehearsals bring Linklater together with invited dancers Ivanie Aubin-Malo, Ceinwen Gobert, and Emily Law, and composer/musician Laura Ortman to generate resonant embodied inquiries. Bordered to the west by Grenadier Pond and covered in a system of wetlands, High Park is a place of synergy between land and water. During these sustained sessions, Lukin Linklater leads a collective performance in response to scores she has penned, as well as to the surroundings of High Park during the spring—a particularly generative season that invites us to take cues from the sky above us.

ABOUT OFFTA Annual artistic event created on the edge of the Festival TransAmériques (FTA), the OFFTA is a festival dedicated to avant-garde creation in live art. It aims to scout, throughout the year, the local artistic landscape in order to put forward creators whose practice leads new trends in theatre, dance and performance. The OFFTA bases its identity on an artistic direction that encourages strong and singular approaches, emerging practices and experimentation. Again and again, the OFFTA aspires to decompartmentalise contemporary art practices along with their respective audiences. In keeping with its vision of disciplinary encounters, the OFFTA produces and presents hybrid events which challenge established live art practices and question modes of representation, as well as facilitate participation, dialogue and cooperation. The OFFTA is a structuring platform for young Montreal artists that creates, produces and presents their work. The festival offers residencies of research and creation as well as dramaturgic support for several of the selected projects. It gives access to professional means of production and communications to all the artists of the program, and acts as a first link between young artists and national/international presenters in Montreal at this time of year.

11. PERFORMANCE SERIES: ‘open the door a window’ Dates: May 26–October 24, 2022 (various); Location: Cologne, Germany; Source: asabank
Invitation to a performance art series: ‘open the door a window’
The International Performance Art Archive DIE SCHWARE LADE | BLACK KIT cordially invites you to Cologne, Germany. On five dates we would like to bring together two outstanding performance artists whose practice is in a special tension with each other. On the one hand, the potential of the performance archive that wants to be created and is waiting to appear. On the other hand, boundless curiosity about the now, what has become.
The International Performance Art Archive BLACK KIT | DIE SCHWARZE LADE has been growing for 40 years. It contains information on about 4000 artists and preserves thousands of photos, books, relics and videos. Since 1981, it has also accompanied the comparatively young performance art with festivals, conferences, workshops and lectures. In this way, the ever-hungry archive has developed a supporting network and is inviting ten top international performance artists to Cologne in 2022.
Participating Artists / Schedule: Julie Andrée T. (Canada) + Brian Catling (GB): July 21–25 Tokio Maruyama (Japan) + Rocio Boliver (Mexico): August 25–29 Zhou Bin (China) + Kurt Johannessen (Norway): September 22–26 Wang ChuYu (China) + Sinéad O'Donnell (Ireland): October 20–24
On each of five dates, two performers who have not worked together before or have not met before will come to Cologne for several days. What happens in the encounter? What energies and patterns are at play in performative practice when different performance representations create references to each other, even though the personal intentions of the artists involved and the given situations are diametrical or even contradictory? What and how are these antagonisms that then come together in the performances to form a surprising "event"? This experience, which has been recurring for years, remains without a stringent explanatory model and yet is the decisive spark of cross-border performance art. Physical encounters, from which nets are woven, are the link.
Under the title: ‘open the door a window’, the Performance Art Archive team will invite you to five events with two performers each in the next few months to experience these powerful moments of coincidence in one event. In the early discussions, it became clear that we would like to invite performance artists whose performances—in our opinion—show work-stringent antagonisms. The Rhineland, which has been a center of performance art since the 1950s, can once again present performances of a high international standard with ‘open the door a window’ 2022.
The artists will be in Cologne from Thursday to Monday, and the performances will take place on Sunday at 12pm (noon). Further performance venues outside of Cologne are in planning. Changes at short notice are conditionally possible even after more than 2 years of Covid-19
