SUMMARY:Embodied Interventions
DESCRIPTION:Embodied Interventions\, LePARC’s signature event\, is coming back for its 7th edition on May 15 & 16!  \nCurated by Hannah Schallert and Casper Fosman-Sutton this year’s program\, titled (Re)animating Performance\, will focus on the overlapping spaces between labour and performance. The work of animation\, and the animation of work: to animate a space\, to be animated\, animare\, to give movement or life.   \nIn a cultural moment of increased automation and global upheaval\, labour becomes disconnected and disembodied. Experiences of precarity and the realities of global capital touch many more of our lives; shaping the way we perform selfhood\, making\, and relationality.  \n​Work bleeds into life\, love and leisure. Animation speaks to both the moving body as the sign of freedom\, spirit\, and liveliness\, and to the movement of labour needed to put into motion\, to make things happen\, to endow matter with life. To (re)animate in this context might be to return to a politic of embodiment\, to value both labour and labourer.  \n​Through social media and the digital\, our relationships to performance are also changed; we take the invisible for granted and fetishize the performative. The machinations of labour are the undercurrent that animates our lives. The work of the performer becomes the work of the contemporary subject – the production of subjectivity\, sociality and emotion.​ \n​On May 15 and May 16\, public presentations of these processes will be shown around the downtown Concordia University campus. These presentations are free\, and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Speculations in the PARC
DESCRIPTION:Join The Speculative Life Research Cluster and The Performing Arts Research Cluster (LePARC) for a  their end of semester mixer event on December 2nd from 5pm to 8:30pm. The event is open for all Milieux members and the general public to attend and aims to provide insight into research conducted within these two clusters in a cozy and festive atmosphere. It will also be the perfect moment to decompress and celebrate the last day of class! \n\nCALL FOR PRESENTATIONS: (For Speculative Life and LePARC members only!) \n \n\nMembers who wish to partake in this opportunity to share their research and meet people from other clusters have until November 27th 11.59pm EST to apply. \nTo submit your proposal\, please fill in this form with a presentation title\, short summary of research/creation and how you wish to present it. \nDue to the relatively short duration of the event\, only 10 presentations will be selected\, prioritizing those that explore common themes and overlaps and that haven’t been shown before. Work in progress are also accepted! \nThe presentations should be between 5 to 10 minutes each as more time will be allocated to informal chats! Without this being an elevator pitch thesis competition\, we encourage you to present your work in a concise way and to keep in mind that you will be engaging with folks from various academic disciplines. \nPlease note that these presentations need to remain minimal in terms of tech requirements; there will be a large screen TV and an HDMI cord for presenters that have visual components to show. \n\n\nPresentations will take place in Spec Life (EV.10.625). The Performance Lab (EV 10.865) will also be open for participants and attendees to check out durational performances and installations presented by LePARC members. Light food and non-alcoholic drinks will be served! \n📅 December 2\, 2024 | 5-8:30 PM \n📍 EV 10.625 / EV 10.865

SUMMARY:Embodied Interventions 2024: Performance showcase
DESCRIPTION:On May 4th and 5th\, join us for the 5th edition of the renowned Embodied Interventions! Organized by the LePARC Research Cluster in collaboration with student members and various clusters within the vibrant Milieux community\, this year’s event promises to offer an unparalleled exploration of performative research-creation. Spanning two days\, Embodied Interventions serves as the culmination of intensive collaborative research-creation laboratories conducted over a period of two weeks. If you’re curious about last year’s edition you can read the recap here. \nIn collaboration with the HTMLles festival\, this edition aims to expand the boundaries\, delving deeper into the intersections of technology\, art\, and performance. Through a diverse array of projects\, attendees will be invited to ponder the fundamental question: “What is performative inquiry?” Each performance presents a unique perspective\, challenging conventional notions and fostering dialogue on the nature of artistic expression and knowledge production. \nSave the date and get ready for 2 days of creativity and artistic innovation at the heart of performative research-creation. \nCurators \nSeyed Hamidreza Hosseini \nMargaret Lapp \nMore information about the program to come soon: \nhttps://www.leparcmilieux.com/embodied-interventions

SUMMARY:The Killing Movie + Goodbye (again) Juan
DESCRIPTION:Juan Miceli invites you to The Killing Movie which is all at once a screening\, a performance and another farewell. You can either drop-in for a few minutes or stay for the entire time. Juan claims that this is the perfect excuse to consider the scope of research-creation as movement while we share time together. It is also a chance to reflect and speculate on the tecno fossils and the declassification of some embedded control matrices. \n\n📅: March 18\, 2024 | 4-8 p.m \n📍: Performance Lab E.V 10.785 \n📸: Martin Cedres

SUMMARY:AI and Music: Public Recording (Concert)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a concert of music generated by Artificial Intelligence! \nArtificial Intelligence in Music research is a new step in algorithmic and generative music that started in the 1950s with a Computer Assisted Composition tools. This ongoing project is supervised by Eldad Tsabary\, Sabine Bergler and Yong Zeng. The main research assistant for the project\, and composer\, is Philon Nguyen. The concert (perhaps the word public recording would be more exact) will take place on November 23rd from 19-20h at the Concordia’s Black Box (1515 St. Catherine W. Room OS3-845).  \nThe public recording “Artificial Intelligence and Music” was made possible through a grant by the Gina-Cody School of Engineering and the Milieux Institute. The concert addresses the question: What can AI-generated music look like? \nFollowing the concert\, an analysis of the recording and the musicians’ experience of performing AI composition will lead to a paper on natural and unnatural renderings of New Music. Learn more about this project in this article. \nString Quartet No. 1: A Study in Deconstruction \nAndara Quartet\nViolon/Violin: Jeanne Côté\nViolon/Violin: Marie-Claire Vaillancourt\nAlto/Viola: Vincent Delorme\nVioloncelle/Cello: Émilie Girard-Charest \nVariations on a Theme by Handel  \nFlûte/Flute: Nadia Sparrow\nClarinette/Clarinet: Rébecca Gagnon\nPiano: Gabrielle Gagnon-Picard\nViolon/Violin: Jeanne Côté \nMorphogenesis: Hommage to Gilles Deleuze\n\nFlûte/Flute: Nadia Sparrow Clarinette\nBasse/Bass Clarinet: Rébecca Gagnon\nTrombone/Trombone: Simon Jolicoeur-Côté\nPiano: Gabrielle Gagnon-Picard\nViolon/Violin: Marie-Claire Vaillancourt\nVioloncelle/Cello: Émilie Girard-Charest \nChercheurs principaux/Principal Investigators:\nDr Eldad Tsabary\,\nDre Sabine Bergler\nDr Yong Zeng \nIngénieur vidéo/video engineer: Malte Leander\nIngénieur de son/sound engineer: Maximus Delmar \nChef d’orchestre/conductor: Charles-Eric Fontaine\nCompositeur/composer: Dr. Philon Nguyen

SUMMARY:[Performance] Deceleration: An Experiment in Slowing Down
DESCRIPTION:TAG is happy invite everyone to a live interaction performance organized by the award-winning theatre and digital arts company ZU-UK!  \nDeceleration: an experiment in slowing down is a journey through a familiar landscape\, whether rural or urban. Recorded soundscape and narration combine to guide mind and body through a structured interaction with rhythm and speed.\n\n\nThe audio-track – and you – progress from a frenetic pace through a stage-by-stage process of deceleration\, ending in a complete stop and stillness. \nThe narration anchors your perceptions in two complementary directions – your external environment\, and the sensations of your body – and focuses attention on the ways in which these two universes impact each other. \nThe mover receives compassion and humour from the narration throughout\,  alongside prompts to reflect on how the rhythms of your body and emotions\, in conversation with the rhythms of the outside world\, are products of and contributors to the social and political systems that frame your experience of space and body. \nThe mover feels the literal slowing towards a stop acting as an embodied metaphor for a psychological or spiritual process of taking stock\, allowing time for response\, listening\, and noticing oneself. \nThe soundscape explicitly progresses through decelerating bpm stages\, to tap into the body’s innate responses to music and rhythm\, sonically enriching the self-reflective and social commentary of the narration. \n***** \nAbout the Organizers \nZU-UK is an award-winning theatre and digital arts company based in Liverpool and East London.

SUMMARY:Heart Tethers: a co-laboratory performance tending to co-sensing and attuning within difference
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to a performance collaboration between the RISE project\, Concordia Laptop Orchestra (CLOrk)\, Danielle Garrison\, Ryan McCullough and community dancers. The idea of the week-long residency and performance is to co-compose and create resonant feedbacks via a live heartbeat and its phases\, sensing the tension\, release and rest within three movements. The heartbeat will be the source of composition/interprretation within an ecology of a 20-person digital orchestra\, RISE singers/artists\, and dancers considering: How to sense one’s inner rhythms in relation to exterior rhythms? How to attune within diverse rhythms? How does relational composition co-compose\, relate\, shift experiences? What are the sensations\, feelings\, thoughts\, reflections of the ethics of composing with the heartbeat? How do we create and tend to a space to feel and perhaps transform our hearts through interdisciplinary creation with each other and the public? \nWhat to expect if attending in person: \nWe are working on creating care in inviting you into our tender process. In this intention\, there will be fluidity in experiencing the performance\, inviting you to enter\, dwell\, linger and exit the performance as you need/desire\, consider your heart in the process\, enjoy light snacks and tea\, and the option to create responses to the event. Also\, you will get to encounter some LeParc folx dancing such as Lucy Fandel\, Erin Manning\, VK Preston\, Sarah Hanley and Sasha Kleinplatz! \nWHEN? Thursday\, February 23\, 2023 8:00 p.m. – 9:30 p.m. \nWHERE? Performing Arts Research Cluster (LePARC)\, EV 10.760. \n*This event is free and open to all

SUMMARY:Handle with Care: Values in Our Hearts - A Micro Opera
DESCRIPTION:Come join us for this massive collaborative improvisational micro-opera that explores relations between identity\, independence\, and our yearning for belonging\, and collaborative creation. \nWhen? February 8th\, 6:00 PM \nWhere? Video Production Studio (EV 10.760) \nOur identities are partially constructed of rules internalized through our upbringing\, which provide us with a lifeline and a noose. Some need rules to guide or motivate\, some need them only to resist and break\, some see them as songs or poems yet to be written. \nWe are like starlings in their murmuration: individuals\, we naturally share\, mimic\, and flow\, out of the corners of our eyes\, our ears\, our bodies\, all our senses. We mimic to learn and survive but\, reflecting\, we know we have potential beyond mirroring\, to reach out on our own lines of flight. \nWe slow – even stop – time to reflect\, recycle\, reuse\, and replay experience\, creating fluctuations of harmony\, community\, rupture\, separation\, identity\, solitude\, discord\, multiplicity\, complementarity\, solidarity. \nThis is performance with no limits and rules\, other than that we respect each other’s limitations. Consent\, no consent\, yes\, no\, maybe\, are activated within us as questions and invitations\, emerging to shape our actions and conversations\, articulating possible rules of individual and collective responsibility. \nWhat is in our hearts as our most cherished values? How do we make laws to free us from servitude and serve us better? What would we want laws to say or not say\, do or not do? Could our deepest values be expressed in law\, or are there ways beyond words in which to express them? \nUnder the direction of Professor Eldad Tsabary\, Reflective Iterative Scenario Enactments (RISE) is a Le PARC based 5-year (2020-2025) research-creation project designed to enact and investigate cataclysmic scenarios in 10 mini-operas and funded by Canada’s Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC). Inspired by the RISE research team’s recent collective exercises\, experiences and reflections\, this micro-opera developed from a proposition by Oonagh Fitzgerald\, INDI PhD student in the Fine Arts Program.

SUMMARY:there is space to fall at LePARC
DESCRIPTION:‘there is space to…’ is a new monthly series for performative encounters in LePARC’s Residency Room. Practitioners from all disciplines are invited to improvise together under permeable frameworks that enable togetherness. Kickstarted by Adriana Minu\, the series leaves its doors open to practitioners to propose their own idiosyncratic approaches to improvisation or to just come and perform. \nIn December the event was called ‘there is space to feel’. Informed by Adriana’s practice of tending to the plethora of intensities that the body holds using vocal improvisation. In January\, Pati Ragazzon joins Adriana for ‘there is space to fall’ – an emergent framework that Pati and Adriana are in the process of uncovering\, informed by Pati’s own movement practice. \n*For more information and questions please email Lucy Fandel\, LePARC’s coordinator\, at leparc.milieux@gmail.com \n**The event is open to all and no registration is required

SUMMARY:Ethnography Lab Film Nights|ZAGROS
DESCRIPTION:The Concordia Ethnography Lab is happy to invite you to the last film night of the semester\, this Wednesday\, December 7th at 6pm! They will be screening the beautiful film Zagros (2018) by Ariane Lorrain and Shahab Mihandoust. The screening will be followed by a Q+A with the directors.  \n\n\n\nZAGROS follows the creation of carpets across the Western mountains of Iran\, the land of Bakhtiaris. Wool is the guiding thread that traverses nomadic and sedentary cultures\, revealing the worlds of weavers\, dyers and shepherds through their labour. Carpets weave the social fabric of their lives\, giving it form as well as colour. The work is hard\, and is gradually being devalued by the outside world – but their lives are redeemed through the love they feel for their traditions. \n\n\n\nREAD MORE ABOUT THE FILM HERE \n\n\n\n** The event will take place at Concordia University’s EV Building\, 1515 Sainte-Catherine O\, Montréal\, QC H3G 2W1\, Room 10.625. Once you exit the elevator\, follow the “Milieux Institute” arrows.

SUMMARY:Ethnography Lab Film Nights
DESCRIPTION:Come join us for the first screening of our Ethnography Lab Film Nights! One of Quebec’s most iconic films\, this ethno-fiction is an emblem of the Cinéma direct movement.  \n\n\nThe Concordia Ethnography Lab is happy to launch a series of film nights starting off this month! With these screenings we are inviting you to see through the ethnographic eyes of the directors and think through cinematic images. There will be three screenings taking place before the holidays on select Wednesday evenings at 6pm in the Speculative Life Research Cluster (EV 10.625). \n\n\nThe first event is a screening of Pour la suite du monde (1963) directed by Michel Brault and Pierre Perrault. “Pour la suite du monde is the unrehearsed story of what happened when old-timers from Île-aux-Coudres\, a small island in the St. Lawrence River\, were persuaded to revive a local whale-catching practice” (NFB\, 2006). We chose this Quebec classic to introduce you to the Cinéma direct movement happening in Quebec at the end of the 50s which is characterised by a desire to directly capture reality and the voice of research subjects\, questioning the relationship between cinema and daily life. The film has been called an ethno-fiction\, but we’ll discuss all that together on Nov. 9th!It will be super cozy and we hope to have a nice discussion on the film afterwards!

SUMMARY:Open Scores Workshop with Lo Bil
DESCRIPTION:In this Walk in LePARC workshop\, we will be finding ways to be together in our not knowing. Through short embodied prompts\, setting shared parameters and asking questions\, we will hold space for one another individually and collectively without having to use the specificity of language and without having to describe what we’re working on. It is less about looking\, and more about asking yourself: how does the energy in the space propel me into my own interests?  What is the effect of being in a co-working space that invites movement?  \n\n\n\nLatecomers will be admitted until 6pm\, that said\, the warm up will assist you in your travels. You don’t need to have a movement practice to join\, this is a cross-disciplinary proposal in which people are welcome to bring something they are working on\, whether a material project\, writing\, or music – although music might be best contained through headphones. Comfortable clothing is suggested but not necessary. Not bringing any materials\, questions or desires is also a great place to begin.   \n\n\n\nMasks and physical distancing will be maintained.  \n\n\n\nTo register\, write to leparc.milieux@gmail.com  \n\n\n\nlo bil (she-her) is a cross-disciplinary artist who creates experiments to generate intuitive felt research through moving-thinkings\, spontaneous utterance\, impulse-based scores\, object manipulation\, unexpected humour\, and inter-relational proposals with the audience. She has performed her work in Toronto\, Montreal\, Edmonton\, Chicago\, New York\, Mexico City\, Berlin\, Amsterdam and Glasgow; and at venues including: 7a*11d International Festival of Performance Art\, Harbourfront Centre\, Duration & Dialogue Performance Art Festival\, First Thursdays at AGO\, Luminato Online\, Nuit Blanche\, Flowchart at Dancemakers\, Summerworks\, Fringe and Rhubarb Performance Festivals.   \n\n\n\nIn 2022\, Lo received a Chalmers Award to expand performance methods with mentor Fiona Griffiths and was selected for a Studio 303 residency in Montreal to develop her participatory score\, COMPASS. Lo is the recipient of a Kathy Acker Award (2019) and FADO Performance Arts Centre Live Art Award at Summerworks Performance Festival (2016). Lo has taught Performance-Based art at Sheridan College and facilitated movement as a guest artist at Concordia and University of Toronto in both dance and visual art departments\, School of the Alternative in North Carolina\, Toronto Dance Community Love-in\, and is a certified yoga teacher with 20 years of practice. Lo is a mentor with Maxine Heppner’s Choreographic Marathon and an ongoing voice practice devotee in Fides Kruker’s studio.

SUMMARY:A Walk in LePARC with Frederik de Bleser: Performance and AI
DESCRIPTION: \n\n\n\nImage Credit: Cyber Sensuality. Created during LAbO Summer School 2021 by Nikola Scheibe\, Alexandra Fraser\, Madina Mahomedova\, Mazarine Haarscheer and David Bello Arcos. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nMembers across clusters are welcome to join this discussion and workshop with Frederik de Bleser.  \n\n\n\nDuring the LAbO 2021 summer school in Antwerp\, participants created a virtual dancer driven by artificial intelligence. After training the algorithm on different gendered bodies and private intuitive acts\, it eventually responded with its own forms of virtual sensuality through gesture\, movement and sound. Out of this training emerged a gender-fluid avatar. \n\n\n\nDuring this workshop\, we want to show a video of the performance and talk about the implications of capturing virtual bodies into an algorithm. As part of this discussion\, we’ll create our own AI dancer that is a combination of real dancers\, being able to be controlled by our own movements. \n\n\n\nSCHEDULE10:00 AM — 12:00 PM | Discussion around performance + AI\, LAbO Summer School1:00 PM — 5:00 PM | Recording session with dancersWe ask participants to please bring a white shirt or tank top and clothes they are comfortable moving in for the recording. However\, you can attend as an observer should you choose not to perform! \n\n\n\nLOCATION \n\n\n\nVideo Production Studio (EV 10.760)Participants must wear masks and maintain physical distancing. \n\n\n\nFor the Thursday and Friday workshops on Generative Artificial Intelligence and Figment with Frederik de Bleser\, register here: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/creative-machine-learning-using-figment-tickets-254585962467 \n\n\n\nChampdAction.LAbO is an annual and international 10-day laboratory for artistic creators of all disciplines\, ethnicity and gender with an openness and curiosity for transdisciplinary work. Every summer since 2019 (with one exception)\, LePARC has attended with a small cohort and cluster co-director Angélique Willkie to participate in the creation lab at the deSingel School in Antwerp. We’re excited to once again bring a Milieux presence to the summer 2022 LAbO and encourage students across clusters to come learn more at Frederik de Bleser‘s discussion Wednesday February 23.

SUMMARY:Cataclysmic scenarios in 10 mini-operas
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER: Contact Sheena at info.riseopera@gmail.com. \n\n\n\nLed by Dr. Eldad Tsabary and funded by Canada’s Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC)\, Reflective Iterative Scenario Enactments (RISE) is a LePARC based 5-year (2020-2025) research-creation project designed to enact and investigate cataclysmic scenarios in 10 mini-operas. \n\n\n\nThe premise of the critical-reflection session is to begin with a presentation of the vision and narrative of the opera and then to open that to public scenario reflection. Everyone will be invited to envision different scenarios related to the premise of the narrative and its potential issues—anything that emerges. \n\n\n\nWe will begin with a presentation on the narrative and vision: \n\n\n\n\nIntroduction to RISE—Eldad (5min)\nConsent—Sheena (5min)\nNarrative—John on the story aspects and writing (5-10min)\nEthical— Elena on the ethical considerations in relation to the story and adjustments (5min)\n\n\n\n\nWe will then open the narrative to the public for scenario reflection.The critical-reflection activity: \n\n\n\n\nFeedback on narrative—potential scenarios\, or issues that have emerged (35 min)\nEmergent discussion on the feedback generated (20 min)\nFinal thoughts or questions (10 min)\n\n\n\n\n*Participants will have options on how they can engage in a comfortable way. They can speak through video\, audio\, write in the chat\, or write anonymously on the google form provided. They can also remove/change their name from zoom. \n\n\n\nIf you would like to know more about the RISE project\, you can visit https://riseopera.ca.

SUMMARY:Danses Kaléidoscopiques (a work in progress)
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Manon De Pauw and Pierre-Marc Ouellette\n\n\n\n1-4 p.m. – OPEN STUDIO4-5 p.m. – PERFORMANCE\n\n\n\nKaleidoscopic Dances is an installation-performance project that puts forward a hybrid artistic form linking dance\, performance\, visual and media arts. The project is based on a historical research on Oskar Schlemmer’s Triadic Ballet (1922)\, from which we examine the links between body\, image and technology. We explore the meeting between the performers and a visual device made of mirrors and live video projections.  \n\n\n\nOur current exploration aims to further the potential of the device and to complicate the appearance and disappearance of bodies in the image. \n\n\n\n\n\nBio : Manon De Pauw \n\n\n\nManon De Pauw’s work has been shown at the Montreal Museum of Contemporary Art\, La Chapelle Theater\, Centro Nacional de las artes in Mexico\, the Art Film Festival and the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia\, among others. In 2009\, the UQAM Gallery and curator Louise Déry presented the exhibition Manon De Pauw – Intrigues\, which circulated notably at the Musée Régional de Rimouski (2011) and at the Canadian Cultural Center in Paris (2012). In 2010\, she directed the exhibition Acts of Presence as guest curator at the Montreal Museum of Contemporary Art as part of her series Point de vue sur la collection. In 2011\, she was the Quebec finalist for the Sobey Prize for the Arts\, and in 2012\, the Visual Arts Winner of the Canada Council’s Victor Martyn Lynch-Staunton Award.  In ten years\, Manon De Pauw collaborated notably with the choreographer Danièle Desnoyers\, the musicians André Pappathomas\, Joane Hétu and Philippe B and the director Denis Lavalou. In 2014\, she presented at Usine C the interdisciplinary performance La matière ordinaire as part of the Festival Temps d’Images. In the spring of 2017\, she presented Somatic Cocoons at Agora de la danse in collaboration with dancer and choreographer Pierre-Marc Ouellette. Manon De Pauw lives and works in Montreal. She is represented by the Divison Gallery. She is Professor at the School of Visual and Media Arts at UQÀM. \n\n\n\n\n\nBio : Pierre-Marc Ouellette  \n\n\n\nPierre-Marc Ouellette completed his training at l’École de danse contemporaine de Montréal (EDCM) in 2005. From 2007 to 2017\, he worked as a performer for the company Carré des Lombes by choreographer Danièle Desnoyers. In this company\, he danced in Play It again! and collaborated in the creation of Là où je vis\, Hozhro\, Dévorer le ciel\, Sous la peau\, la nuit\, Paradoxe Mélodie and Anatomie d’un souffle. In addition to taking part in several international tours\, Pierre-Marc has also participated in various projects initiated by various choreographers\, including Paul-André Fortier\, Harold Rhéaume\, Erin Flynn and Deborah Dunn. Recipient of a Canada Council scholarship in 2009 and 2013\, he has perfected in Vienna and New York. As a choreographer\, he created Le show off\, presented in 2010 in Tangente\, then Les Angèles (collective creation) at the La Chapelle theater in 2012 and Cocons somatiques\, with visual artist Manon De Pauw in 2017 at the Agora de la danse. Pierre-Marc has taught Danièle Desnoyers’s repertoire at UQAM\, EDCM and in various professional dancer workshops (Springboard\, Circuit-Est). In 2018\, he completed a Bachelor’s degree in Art History at UQAM\, is enrolled in the Individualized Masters of Concordia University and has created a piece for the first year group of EDCM students. His master’s project is supported by CRSH and FQRSC.

SUMMARY:The Inverse Power of Wavelengths\, a performative talk by Alessandro Carboni
DESCRIPTION:Inverse power of wavelengths – performative lecture is a cross-sectional survey on Alessandro Carboni’s performance practice methodology based on the relationship between body and the city. The performance illustrates a practice that has been developed over a long period of research in several European and Asian cities and mega-cities\, such as Hong Kong\, Singapore\, Kuala Lumpur\, Taipei\, Hanoi\, Ho Chi Min City\, through a “molecular” process\, a spatial frame of the transformations occurring within the urban space. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nThe research created an hybrid/cross-disciplinary testing ground where observation and documentation of urban events become a getaway for visual interpretations and performance actions. Tensions and flows that animate urban spaces are recreated on stage by buttons\, stings and modular elements that are continuously manipulated and rearranged by the performer. Inverse power of wavelengths aims to rethink the city not as something given\, but rather as a place where the body and its specific features becomes the key element of discussion and a driving force for change. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nThis performative talk is presented by LePARC as part of the milieuXbauhaus Festival\, and is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:The Power of the Spill
DESCRIPTION:The Power of the Spill is an audio-visual performance that works at the intersection of digital and imaginary technologies. Using live video feedback\, creative coding and movement-choreography\, it agitates the visible borders of objects and bodies and questions habitual divisions between life and matter. The piece starts with a video recording and movement-choreography done on site. This footage (and its constantly changing perspectives) is live-processed using pixelation-effects similar to white noise and is projected back into the same space. As this modified image takes over the raw recording\, it opens up a visual of life where edges are multiple\, selves always leak\, spill over\, are impossible to contain. The politics of engaging with this way of seeing both realities (the tangible object and a visual\, that foregrounds its vitality) means a commitment to shifting our value system and our presuppositions\, foregrounding processes that we are usually missing.  \n\n\n\n\n\nCsenge Kolozsvari is an interdisciplinary artist who has been cultivating listening and somatic practices to attune to the thresholds of experience; the fluttering transition between audible and tactile vibrations\, constellations of connective tissue dances\, a topology that is cross-species\, to the body’s potential as a membrane for being active between thought\, movement and sound. Working with the materiality of digital media (sound\, video) and the performativity of mundane material and aesthetic choices (plastic foil\, toys\, skipping rope\, elevators\, aquarium\, etc.) her work makes felt different modalities of life (human-\, non-human bodies and molecular textures across) at the edge of our perception; the infra-perceptible occasions that are often edited out by the process of making sense of the world. A live practice of process-making and form-taking. \n\n\n\n\n\nRodrigo Velasco is a Mexican artist interweaving text\, image\, rhythm and sound through conversational poetics and live coding. Improvisation and collaborative processes are at the heart of the experience\, where thought is being transformed into abstract worlds of relation. Rodrigo is a student of the Master of Design at Concordia University in the Department of Design and Computation Arts and part of the SenseLab\, a laboratory for thought in motion. His explorations through workshops\, non books and audiovisual performances have been shared internationally as part of /*vivo*/ 2014\, Simposio Internacional de Música y Código\, Libre Graphics Meeting 2018\, Nuit Blanche\, NOCHE EN BLANCO : LATINX (RE) MIX – Eastern Bloc + Never Apart\, Electronic Literature Organization – ELO 2018\, TOPO Digital Writings Laboratory\, live => coding music\, IMPA ˜ Rio de Janeiro and MUTEK Montréal Edition 19.  \n\n\n\n\n\nThis performance will be immediately preceded by STRUCTURE BORN OF MUSIC: PERFORMING IN THE PUBLIC-LESS CITY.  \n\n\n\nThis event is presented as part of the milieuXbauhaus Festival and is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:A Walk in LePARC: Hanna Pajala-Assefa
DESCRIPTION:LePARC’s A Walk in LePARC series showcases cluster member research through performances and talks. This is the first Walk in LePARC of the 2019-2020 academic year! \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nHana Pajala-Assefa is a Helsinki-based choreographer with an extensive history of interdisciplinary work sourcing from the body both as a practitioner and artistic researcher. In recent years she has focused on embodied experience in digital and virtual environments as an artist\, programme curator\, and producer\, leading her towards media- and digital-art practices. \n\n\n\nShe is lead designer on the project Skeleton Conductor (SC)\, an interactive real time\, movement-based extended reality (XR) experience with the objective to design an interactive digital interface displayed in HMD for musical and visual expression. The project aims to create an immersive\, interactive art experience of the phenomenon of kinetic musicality and kinesonic composition\, emphasizing users’ multi-sensorial presence and full immersion through motion-based interaction and inter-reflectivity in the virtual environment.
