Performance Perimeters Symposium
Experiments and Conversations
Performance Perimeters Symposium is a festival and conference for performance art, experimental dance and experimental theatre organized by Neutral Ground, New Dance Horizons, Curtain Razors, Sakewewak Artists Collective. November 2-6, 2005. Open to the public. Advance registration encouraged.
Performance Perimeters Symposium is organized in conjunction with a Performance Creation Canada conference to engage a conversation between artists, presenters and audiences on the convergence of forms and ideas that have come to characterize the forums of performance and multi-disciplinary art. The conference includes panel presentations on the subjects of arts and markets, intangible heritage, representation & self representation, cultural agency, audiences, economies, criticism and curation as well as a debate on the Status of the Artist.
This unique Regina event is being organized by four arts organizations who have joined in presenting live perspectives and practices from a wide range of contemporary artists and thinkers.
Organized by New Dance Horizons, Neutral Ground, Curtain Razors and Sakewewak Artists Collective, PPS is a meeting ground for artists and public to engage with performance work and join in the conversation with other artists, presenters, theorists and writers. Artists including Istvan Kantor, Edward Poitras, Jillian Mcdonald, David Yonge, Debra Dunn, Lori Blondeau, PHONO, Sarah Abbott, Davida Monk, Helen Walkley, John Noestheden, Rob Bos, The Skeleton Crew (Seema Goel, Steve Kirkland), Robin Brass, Lynn Acoose, Elwood Jimmy, Joey Tremblay, Carol Grey Eyes and others will perform in more than eight Regina locations. There will be a reading of the work of the late Emily Givner, a Web launch for a commissioned project at Soil Digital Media Suite and a Book Event, presenting recent performance art papers and publications with Johanna Householder.
Panelists David Garneau, Kathleen Irwin, Rachelle Viader Knowles, Daniel Anderson, MJ Thompson, Dannys Montes de Oca Moreda, Adrienne Wong, Maiko Bae Yamamoto, Naomi Campbell, Glenn Alteen (Moderator) and Jack Udaskin (Moderator), will introduce new approaches to the economies of performance art and interdisciplinary work.
"Enjoy the restorative powers of symposia." A time and place to take in a moment, a breath, a critical "pause" as Brian Patterson suggests, "We might be doing by engaging & being engaged in the performative."
Performance program and events start with an introductory event Wednesday November 2 and commence Thursday November 3 through Sunday November 6, 2005. Performance Creation Canada meetings and events take place over the weekend with registration available on line and starting Friday, November 4 at 4:00 pm. The public are invited to attend all events.
