SUMMARY:Mime as Non-Verbal Communication
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a workshop on Tuesday\, February 27th\, with LePARC’s Sue Proctor to explore mime as non-verbal communication. \nFrom basic physical techniques to emotional expression\, we will play with concepts of body awareness\, self-expression and clown communication. Through fun and laughter\, movement and use of sound\, we will explore a vocabulary for non-verbal relationships and performance. \nPeople of all levels of movement or performance experience are welcome. Please wear clothes that are comfortable to move in. \nSue Proctor has been clowning\, performing and teaching in the arts for over thirty years. Creator of six original Fringe theatre shows\, Sue was a founding member of the Canadian Association of Therapeutic Clowns and uses clowning to inform her work as a dramaturg\, and in teaching drama to all ages and abilities. Sue is Co-Director of the ‘Arts Inclusion Network’ in Winnipeg\, Manitoba\, Canada. \nHer Master’s thesis\, “The Archetypal Role of the Clown as a Catalyst for Individual and Societal Transformation\,” can be found online. \nTo register for the workshop\, click here.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Juan Miceli
DESCRIPTION:Join us on February 22\, 2024\, from 5-7 PM\, at the Performance Lab (EV 10.785)\, for an exciting talk with artist Juan Miceli\, hosted by LePARC.\nCome learn about Juan’s experience following six months as a research intern at Milieux in this performance lecture. He will share artworks and creative concepts – such as Inverse Interface\, Artecnic\, Apology of the Remaining\, and Black Milk – that came out of his research-creation process.\nJuan Miceli is an audiovisual artist based out of Buenos Aires and Montreal\, who has studied both Fashion Design and Electronic Art. In 2022\, Juan received an ELAP Scholarship which has supported his Research Internship at Concordia’s Faculty of Fine Arts\, where he has conducted a research project titled Inverse Interface under the tutelage of Ricardo Dal Farra. This internship research fed into Juan’s Master’s thesis in the Aesthetics and Technology of Electronic Arts\, which he is pursuing at the National University Tres de Febrero (UNTreF) under the direction of Mariela Yeregui (PhD) and Andres Rodriguez (PhD). \nThe materiality of the Inverse Interface research creation project consists of the development of collaborative video installations\, a genealogical work in relation to technological practices like vision machines\, and experimentation with immersive environments\, bodies and interfaces. Juan’s work stems from a Latin American perspective that is in a permanent stage of construction. Working with a fusion of media including sculpture\, video\, installation\, generative video\, digital modelling and performance\, Juan develops exhibitions and research projects that investigate the relationship between art\, the body and technology. \nJuan’s work has been supported by such institutions as Milieux Institute\, Concordia Fine Arts\, National Fund for the Arts (Arg)\, San Martin University (UNSAM)\, CCGSM\, and the National Contemporary Dance Company and Expressions Cultural Center (US)\, among others. His video installations have been exhibited at the Concordia Black Box\, Fourth Space\, C3 Science Center\, the National Center of Music and Dance\, B. Rivadavia Museum of Natural Sciences\, ThisIsNotAGallery\, the MACA Junín Museum\, Expressions Cultural Center\, the University of Cordoba\, the Spanish Cooperation Center in Buenos Aires\, and the Recoleta Cultural Center\, to name a few.

SUMMARY:A Walk in LePARC with Margo Zālīte
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our last Walk in LePARC of the semester with visiting artist Margo Zālīte! Following a residency at LePARC\, she will share her current process and work through informal discussion. \nMargo Zālīte describes her work as “moving pain paintings” that\, in a free flow\, balance between reality and imagination. Numerous opera productions have been created in the director’s interpretations. In Berlin these include G. Verdi’s La traviata\, R. Wagner’s Die Walküre\, B. Britten’s The Turn of the Screw\, W. A. Mozart’s Cosi fan tutte\, etc. She is passionate about architecture\, anthropology\, biology and expanding space-time with the help of music theatre. Rolling through countless mentalities and world-views is her answer to the dismayed Western Europe. \nFestival FAVORITEN is the festival where Margo Zālīte is artistic director. FAVORITEN is the theater\, dance and performance festival of the independent scene in North Rhine-Westphalia – has been held every two years in Dortmund since 1985. It is one of the oldest festivals of the independent performing arts in Germany and is aimed equally at the people of the city and region as well as at a nationwide and international (professional) audience.

SUMMARY:there is space to flow with Adriana Minu
DESCRIPTION:This month there is space to flow. This Thursday\, February 23rd at 5pm\, LePARC invites you to an improvisation session with experimental sound/music maker Adriana Minu. \n\n\nThe proposed framework is pretty simple: 3x20minute moments of improvisation with conversations in between. I make openings for the voice and body but you can improvise with whatever works for you. We discover what we need together and we shift the fabric as we need to.\n\n\n\n\nFor me flow is a state of abandon\, a generative state of newness\, of surprises\, of peak truths. But wanting to be in flow or trying to be in flow doesn’t get one in flow. The willpower to find flow has to be sprinkled in a room like a perfume then forgotten\, oversensed into normalcy. Play\, curiosity\, generative tension\, observation\, reaction without comprehention\, abandon\, a certain trust in the universe\, trust that no harm will happen\, trust that the magic that’s there and is being accessed is beyond what I can consciously concoct anyway so the best way to befriend it is to glide alongside it – these are things that help. For me\, connecting with this deeper fabric of the universe is what flow is. This month I want to find ways into it and out of it.\n\n\n*This event is free and open to all. No registration is required

SUMMARY:Performative Compositions: How to create an umbrella
DESCRIPTION:Are you coming with me under my umbrella?\nJoin us for the next installment of A Walk in LePARC with multidisciplinary artist Patricia Ragazzon\, on February 16\, 2023\, from 2-5 PM. \nIn her doctoral research on embodied learning as a pedagogical process\, Patricia Ragazzon develops the concept of “performative compositions” as modes of creation with different groups\, bodies and perception. This hands-on workshop is an invitation to rally and construct knowledge together with other modes of existence and (neuro)diversities. From personal experience teaching various groups in theater workshops\, Ragazzon has formed performative compositions for sensitive experience\, processuality and relational practice. She proposes an environment for improvisation from principles of movement\, materialities and space\, listening and embodiment–a space-between the invention of self and the creation of other possible worlds. All are welcome. Come with comfortable clothes. If possible\, bring fabrics\, threads\, scissors and old or damaged umbrellas.  \nPatricia Ragazzon is an actress\, performer\, director\, researcher and theater teacher. She is an Academic visitor at Concordia University and a Doutoranda of the Performing Arts Program of the University of Bahia – BRAZIL.

SUMMARY:A Walk in LePARC with Adriana Minu
DESCRIPTION:LePARC is happy to invite you all to join A Walk in LePARC with Adriana Minu! \nAfter three years of researching affective approaches to music making\, Adriana has been reclaiming her body from deep enrapturing tensions and learning what qualities can be nurtured in spaces that welcome alterity. She is now taking a look back at the processes and artworks that have stemmed from her artistic and vocal practice. Expect an experimental format with vocal solutions\, digressions and improvisations to perceived intensities. \nWhen? January 30 th\, 2023\, 2-3pm \nWhere? Residency Room EV 10.785 \nAdriana Minu is an artist\, researcher\, and intense vocal performer. She lives hyper aware of her constant relation with the environment. Her mission is to create artworks that help herself and others escape bodily oppressions. She doesn’t always succeed. Her own dislocated body guides her in this process that vibrates victoriously outside categories.  \nAdriana is finishing her PhD in experimental music co-supervised at two prestigious British universities. She is a visiting doctoral scholar at lePARC until July 2023. In the UK she co-runs the research creation podcast Essential Blends with Kevin Leomo and the artistic experimentation platform ‘The way we blend’. At Concordia she runs a monthly series for cross-disciplinary performative encounters ‘there is space to […]’ and a sound improvisation series with Kathy Kennedy called ‘Improv-X’.

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
