NOT POTATOES ~ by Zorya Arrow 
Pondering the thought of growing mental unrest, “Not Potatoes” intimately peeks into the navigation of close-knit family relationships, while orchestrating the challenge of breaking learned behavioural patterns and getting up off the proverbial couch.

&

JUDY AND THE RECKLESS ~ by Riley Sims
“Judy and the Reckless,” uses theatricality, athletic dance movement, creature-like vocalizations, text, sneakers and a mountain of clothing to explore themes of life on display, dysfunctional habits and relationships, and extreme or reckless behaviours.

PETER on “BOX TAPE”

Using a shit load of clear packing tape and through a shared sense of labor, hospitality, and dance, we invite the public to join as we build and dance a sculpture made of tape that binds together the social fabric of the performance environment. We will question the idea of ‘product’ by broadening the parameters and perception of what a performance event might look and how the interaction might unroll. A sticky situation…

A social investigation

Architecture as Performance

Getting Caught

Collaborative authorship …

box tape, a stigmergy – a mechanism of indirect coordination between agents or actions. The principle is that the trace left in the environment by an action stimulates the performance of a next action, by the same or a different agent. In that way, subsequent actions tend to reinforce and build on each other, leading to the spontaneous emergence of coherent, apparently systematic activity.

Hello YLDE-ers!

We have orchestrated two extra sessions with Peter Trosztmer for interested artists. If you are already enrolled in the full workshop, you may also attend these sessions.

Both “sessions” will be DROP-IN in nature.

10:30 am-12:30pm

January 14th (wed) & 16th (fri)

$5 per session

Location: FRAME Gallery on Ross

Check out more details about Peter and the workshop in earlier posts.

Please Please Please RSVP.

If we do not have enough interested artist, the classes will be cancelled.
