1. Fado news
Following the phenomenal success of the recent Tanya Mars project, TYRANNY OF BLISS, presented in Toronto and Hamilton in June, Performance Art Curator Paul Couillard spent a month engaged in an artist residency in Israel. Funded through an artist grant from the Ontario Arts Council, the residency allowed Couillard to work with Fado alumnus Adina Bar-On, developing a new collaborative performance work entitled MATCH. While in Israel, Couillard took the opportunity to visit with performance artists and curators with an eye to developing future projects for Fado. Soon after his return, Couillard participated in "Growing a Discipline", the Performance Studies preconference of the Association for Theatre in Higher Education. Couillard was one of the opening panelists engaged in a discussion on Performance Studies in Canada, which provided an opportunity to outline Fado's initiatives in performance art activity, research,and publishing.
Fado's ongoing efforts continue to receive good reviews from audiences and funders. We are pleased to report modest increases in our operating budgets from both the Toronto Arts Council and the Ontario Arts Council, fantastic news at a time when very few local and provincial organizations can expect public funding increases.
Upcoming Fado projects include. GAME-CITY, a day-long series of performance works by emerging artists. This programme, curated by Craig Leonard, will be presented on August 28 (details in the next e-list). Also coming in September, the 4th installment in Fado's FIVE HOLES series. LISTEN! will present five projects based on concepts of hearing. Watch for further details.

Performance Studies International Conference #11
To be held at Brown University o Providence, Rhode Island, USA -- March 30-April 3, 2005
A conference toward performance/studies: modes of thinking, physical methodologies, spatial thoughts, sound disturbances, and knowing bodies.
We acknowledge that the conference title understates, closets, titillates, misarticulates, sneaks-up upon, middle-classifies, play-acts, and jumps track. We also hope that it incites action, direction, thought, movement, and choice. For us, when we started planning, the title referred to the necessary discomfort in building a performance, a life, a discipline, a world. Newer, darker meanings have since accrued.
Ports of passage:
Insular Danger Worry Idea Panoptic Citizen Nation's Hood Skin Flesh Bone A(cute) Dissonance... Gender Desire Pain Play Terror Space Photography Torture Raced Limits Queers Embedded Active Distance BioCulture Abducted Neuroscience Aesthetic Ordinance Border Scholarship Amos and Fluxus Comfort Zoned History Currents... Impossible Performance Blank Spots UnSafes Whatever Being
We invite you to historicize, contemporize, embody, celebrate, or challenge our title. We will do our best to provide structures and spaces to test out, play with, perform, and transform your ideas.
1) We seek to set up alternative modes of participation that will allow for the development of ideas and projects through workgroups of like-minded (or not so like-minded) scholars and artists working off of specific themes. Please submit curatorial proposals for six to nine hours time focusing on guided events, joint methodological journeys, workshopped objects, etc. The six to nine hours' may be continuous or may extend over three days (or be in scattered spurts); you tell us what might be best. Examples: midnight to 6 a.m., Thurs/Fri/Sat a.m or p.m for two or three hours per day. In 500 words or less (or else), let us know what you would like to do and with whom/how many you would like to do it. State if it would remain insular or open up to an audience. We offer: black boxes, white boxes, lecture halls, seminar rooms, dance floors, corridors, open spaces, monuments, riverbanks, highway bridges, and what you are imagining (so let us know). Deadline for curators is August 15. We'll get back to you by September 1.
2) We also issue an open call for panels and for individual presentations that might be parts of panels. These might include performances, visual displays, and publishable and unpublishable papers. We encourage you to go beyond the demands of print culture in presentation. We offer smart classrooms (PowerPoint, video, DVD, sound), stages, seminar rooms, video feeds, etc. Please explain what you have in mind in 500 words or less. Deadline for panels and related presentations and papers is October 1. Notification by November 15.
3) We plan to feature separate performances, media displays, and installations that will be of general interest to those attending. We invite your suggestions and proposals. Budgetary support for such presentations will be minimal, at best, but let us know what you would need to bring your work here. Deadline is September 15. Notification by November 1.
4) We wish to provide times and spaces to meet informally with performers and with scholars. Let us know, for example, if you would like the opportunity to discuss your recent publications and performances as part of a book fair, a roundtable discussion, or in other venues.
5) We plan to sportively create cabaret-like spaces/events for performative responses, "slam scholarship," mini-performances, unexpected groupings, etc. We invite your suggestions for such events by October 1.
If you need letters immediately stating our acceptance of your participation at the conference in order to start applications for funding, visas, etc., please note this with your proposal. Such letters can be provided.

Deadline: August 31, 2004; Source: Toronto Free Gallery
Propagandista
Exploring the manufacturing and dissemination of propaganda
November 7th – December 23rd
All of our lives have been influenced by one form of propaganda or another. Propaganda appeals to our emotions, ethics, morals and ideals in order to influence our behaviour.
Our politicians use it, advertisers use it, religious groups use it, corporations use it, the military uses it, even the layperson, from time to time, strives to master the persuasive powers of this infamous communication technique.
The methods and forms vary. From movies like the famous 1950’s Duck and Cover to music and word campaigns such as the renaming of “missiles” to “peace keepers.” Propaganda can be as blatant as a swastika or as subtle as a joke. Stereotypes, myths, ideals and legends are favourite ingredients by professional propaganda makers.
With Propaganista Toronto Free Gallery plans to explore the various forms of propaganda, how, why and when propaganda is produced and distributed and what are their effects on culture.
We are accepting works in all media. This will be a juried show
For submission guidelines please contact Heather Haynes at <mailto:heather@torontofreegallery.org>heather@torontofreegallery.org or call 416-690-9152.
Proposals due by August 31st.

Project Description: Encounter terror will be an international open call for submission of a one-minute action art using the parameters of a one-minute video frame exposure as the art space. The theme will be about the artist's reaction on the inexhaustible volatile battle cry of war against terror. Submitted pieces will be digitally compiled and a catalogue will be printed. The deadline for submission will symbolically be on the commemoration of world trade center bombing on September 11, 2004 and the compiled product will launch simultaneously to the giant display of fireworks on July 4, 2005 to be projected in a public park. The compact disc compilation and printed catalogue will be available to the public. Another phase of the project is the projection of the compiled video on public spaces in different parts of the world. This can be negotiated with interested counterparts to coincide with their street festivals and mass gathering.
Project Objective and Relevance: Since September 11, 2002 diverse things had happen around the world under the pseudonym of war against terror. To name some incidence, the chase in Afghanistan, the Iraq occupation, the Bali bombing, the war of aggression, various war mongering, and the continuing witch-hunt for the alleged terrorist in many countries which most of us got affected in various ways. It seems that this is a never-ending legend that creates up-to-the-minute version as we can see to CNN every time we open our television for a new chapter. Terror is the most abuse word used by every political and economic faction; terror is another word to create a culture of horror. At this moment it is time to gather the artists' reaction from different countries and witness how the people are affected by these incidents. How the people of different nationality encounter terror. In this project, the objective is to gather the world's views thru artists respond on the prevailing!
subject to be accumulated in a compact disc. Knowing peoples reaction around the world for a certain subject is an arena of intellectual discourse. The digital compilation in a compact disc will be available in every household thus democratizing the art space, which can be seen in their own bedroom with their television or personal computer. The content of the project can start a conscious dissertation on how everyone is affected by the prominent forces behind the societies structures and the form can democratize everyone's access to art.

11. CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Mayworks Festival (Toronto)
Deadline: November 15, 2004; Source: A Space
Mayworks Festival of Working People and the Arts is a multi-disciplinary arts festival that celebrates working class culture. Founded in 1986 by the Labour Arts Media Committee of the Toronto and York Region Labour Council, Mayworks is Canada's largest and oldest labour arts festival. The Festival was built on the premise that all workers share a common struggle for decent wages, healthy working conditions and a living culture. Mayworks is committed to showcasing artists of diverse backgrounds and artistic forms, and to highlighting labour issues little talked about.
Festival 2005 Outline: Mayworks at 20!
In 2005, Mayworks turns 20! 20 years of multi-disciplinary programming from a labour-positive, socially-conscious perspective, featuring new, emerging and established artists, of innovative and provocative programming: all we've worked for! In our 20th year, Mayworks continues to hold strong to its mandate to bring workers and artists together and to showcase the culture and heritage of both working people and working artists. In 2005, Mayworks will reflect on the work/struggles/gains of working people, unions, community members and artists alike of the past 20 years. Mayworks at 20! is an opportunity for us to reflect on the work we've done, but more importantly to celebrate our common struggles and achievements of all our constituent groups, our solidarity efforts and our commonalities. Mayworks at 20! implies an exploration of work issues, artistic forms, and the integration of the two as something that is a living entity and that more accurately reflects the patterns of our lives through a retrospective continuum. We want to make the links to a 20-year continuity. The festival will celebrate/reflect and envision the many ways that our culture enriches our lives, informs our work and continues to foster and nourish our communities. Your proposal should connect to this wider vision for 2005.
Mayworks' Equity Statement
Mayworks Festival acknowledges that we live in a society rooted in oppression and inequalities; that structural injustice and unconscious prejudice influence our experiences; and the importance of incorporating the knowledge and guidance from oppressed people's experience within the organization.
Under the Federal Employment Equity Act the following "designated groups" are identified as being disadvantaged in employment, and in society at-large:
• Women
• Indigenous People
• People with Disabilities
• People of Colour
Mayworks Festival also recognizes:
• Queer-identified (namely lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans-gendered, transsexual, and inter-sexed) people.
Proposal Assessment Criteria
The Programming Committee will adjudicate based on the following criteria:
• Compatibility with Mayworks' mandate;
• Achievability in a limited time-span;
• Concept/proposal clarity and completeness;
• Financial feasibility;
• Diversity of art forms/practices and artists;
• Audience/audience development;
• Support materials;
• Self-identification as equity-seeking;
• Revenue generating potential;
• Anti-oppression framework;
• Fun.
Application Process Info
The form can be downloaded from the Mayworks’ website at www.mayworks.ca under the “about mayworks” page. The form is divided into 2 parts. Part A is for groups, collectives and/or individuals who have a program (event/exhibition/workshop) proposal for the Festival; Part B is for artists who wish to be considered to perform/exhibit at the Festival; please fill one or both sections as they apply to you.
Program submissions will be reviewed by the Program Committee after November 15. All applicants will be contacted shortly thereafter; no phone calls please. The Festival program will be finalized by mid January. Thank you for applying.

Deadline: March 2005; Source: Instant Coffee
17th "Independent Arts"-Festival, Saturday 16 April 2005
Since 1988, the "Independent Arts"-Festival has grown towards an
international known event for any form of creativity. The aim of the
Festival is both to present an overview of independent creativity world
wide, performed by communication networks, and to create a meeting place for
exchanging the acquired experiences. The Festival mainly focuses on artistic
activities performed in scenes such as home-tape, Mail-Art, street art,
small press, . On top of that, video, performance and fine art artists do
get the possibility to exhibit and perform their creativity. As such, the
"Independent Arts"-Festival is unique in its kind.
- Street Art: Stencil graffiti, stickering, postering, ... or any form of personal creativity related to street art.
- Fine art: Guest exhibitions from local young artists whom did not have, as yet, the possibility to exhibit their artwork.
- Mail-Art: Mail-Art or correspondence art has been part of international arts scene since the 50's by means of aesthetic items as rubberstamps, artistamps, artist trading cards, fluxus bucks, decorated postcards, ...
- Small press: A view on the scene of independent publications and small press, comic books or artists books. For many years, zines, or self-edited and self-published magazines, have become an essential communication form in several sub-cultures.
- Performance: Performance art is, with its mix of fine art and theatre an almost unknown form of creativity. Spoken word, literature or poetry reading can undeniably be part of the Festival.
- Video: The world of moving images has broadened substantially as video, animation, independent film and documentary have been here for ages, with the internet and web-video becoming its most recent additions.
- Home-tape: In the homegrown-tape scene, musicians have been recording their synth stuff on cassette tape from the early 80's onwards, and mailing them directly to anyone interested. Since then slowly moving towards CD-recording and creation of new independent labels.
This Festival offers artists world-wide the opportunity to exhibit or perform any form of creativity:
[01] Personal exhibitions: Street artists, local or international fine art artists, Mail-artists, small press publishers but as well as performance artists, video artists and home-tape musicians are welcome to exhibit their personal work..

[05] Workshop stencil graffiti: In co-operation with the "Academy of Fine Arts", we are organising a workshop about stencil graffiti for the young students of the Academy. We are looking for stencil graffiti artists willing to participate in this workshop by sharing their knowledge with the students.
[06] Workshop eraser carving: In co-operation with the "Academy of Fine Arts", we are organising a workshop about eraser carving for the young students of the Academy. We are looking for eraser carvers willing to participate in this workshop by sharing their knowledge with the students.

We hope to obtain a wide range of perspectives and uncover points of mutual relevance that will help build the content of the conference.
The conference will bring together practitioners and scholars from all forms of networked performance--distributed Internet performance (including dance-, theater-, and music-driven works), avatar theater, online performance art, multi-user gaming performance, mixed reality performance, and other hybrid forms.
Multiple institutions and organizations will play a role: New Radio and Performing Arts, Inc. (NRPA), a not-for-profit media organization and parent of Turbulence.org; Emerson College, Boston; and California State University at Monterey Bay (CSUMB). We plan to work with additional organizations that will commission and/or host performances during the conference.
So visit the blog. Tell us who you are. Give us your URL(s) to post in our links section and the dates of any upcoming networked performances. And please tell anyone you think might be interested to join us.
Looking forward to an exciting discussion and conference,
Helen Thorington, Jo-Anne Green (New Radio and Performing Arts, Inc.)
Michelle Riel (California State University at Monterey Bay)
John (Craig) Freeman, Brooke Knight (Emerson College)

Deadline: not indicated; Source: Artsadmin e-digest issue 139
The disciplines of performance studies and the history of medicine at the University of Warwick (Coventry, UK) are considering setting up a residency with a live artist based on exploring potential points of convergence and/or interaction between the two fields concerned. These might incorporate, for example, gender, the body, sexuality, birth, aging, disease, chronic illness, mental health, and medical practices. At this early stage the coordinators would like to hear from any artists whose practice is relevant in this regard and who may be interested in opening negotiations towards developing a programme of work within the context of the university.
Initial expressions of interest should be directed to Dr Hilary Marland, Director of the Centre of the History of Medicine, University of Warwick,Coventry CV4 7AL or email: hilary.marland@warwick.ac.uk
Artists should provide a CV and give a brief indication of the nature of their practice as it relates to the history of medicine.
