Inter-Action/Section. - Performing Technology, Humans and the Politics of In-betweenes
Collaborative Workshop-Symposium, free and open
Where: Luella Massey Studio Theatre, 4 Glen Morris Street, Toronto
This workshop-symposium is envisioned as a hybrid of three distinct DDL event formats like 1. brAInsTOrm, 2. sAFari and 3.participatory workshops. The first provides an intellectual discussion forum, which helps to formulate key issues in digital culture as pertinent to artistic practice and research among a wide range of conceptually and politically interested forms of knowing/doing in the field of theatre and (cultural/political) performance. The second affords opportunities to connect with local and international practitioners (artists, scholars, scientists), see their work in order to compare it to similar or different modes of digital dramaturgy, of conceptual and practical approaches. The third follows the DDL tradition of highly inclusive workshops welcoming anyone interested regardless of their current level of expertise. These three formats will be integrated into one event, a symposium-workshop weekend.
Day one offers a participatory workshop-symposium with our guest multi-media artist Natasha Davis (UK), and representatives of Toronto-based creative collectives Ars Mechanica Theatre, Toronto Laboratory Theatre (TLT), and the Digital Dramaturgy Lab (DDL).
Presenters: Natasha Davis, Art Babayants, Antje Budde, Sasha (Alexandra) Kovacs, Monty (Montgomery) Martin, Jijo Quayson
Day two invites us to enjoy her most recent multi-media performance experiment entitled TEETH SHOW, created and performed by Natasha Davis.
