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.

Community /// Alex Elliott yoga class TUE DEC 23

Hello Fellow Yogi’s and Yogini’s,

I am offering a special yoga practice outside of the registered session. Please come and join me in this group-practice where I am on my mat with you. In this way we flow through the poses and begin to unify our breath in a way that is extraordinarily trance-like. You will feel rejuvenated and ready for the days and New Year ahead.
