Justin V Bond at MoMA P.S.1, New York on March 25, 2012. Photo by Loren Wohl II III Note From The Editors: Welcome to the inaugural edition of the Contemporary Performance Almanac. We have been wishing to make this book since the inception of the Network, but it wasn’t until recently that the Contemporary Performance Network reached such a critical mass that we realized the necessity for the project matched the resources to produce it. So often presenters do not have access to artists and works that haven’t traveled outside their city or country of origin, and artists do not have access to survey the work of peers that might be working in sympathetic modalities. Contemporary Performance sees a need to give artists, presenters, and others in the field an opportunity to start new working relationships. We hope that this Almanac — as an extension of the Network — can meet that need, and to aid discovery, spark curiosity, and facilitate exchange. We’re excited to see the breadth of disciplines practiced by the participants and the sheer geographical scope of their nationalities spanning 47 countries. Inside the pages of the Almanac are the artworks described by the artists in their own words: eloquent, challenging, provocative and urgent. Enjoy. -Caden Manson and Jemma Nelson Participate in the next Contemporary Performance Almanac 2014 by submitting your work online at http://almanac14.contemporaryperformance.com IV V About Contemporary Performance Network: The Contemporary Performance Network is a social network and community organizing platform providing artists, presenters, scholars and festivals a space to meet, share work, and collaborate. The term contemporary performance is used to describe hybrid performance works and artists that travel between the fields of experimental theatre & dance, video art, visual art, music composition and performance art without adhering to one specific field’s practice. The Network was founded in 2010 and has grown to 5300 artists, presenters, curators, foundations, scholars and publishers from 85 countries world wide. As artists, we began to tour internationally with Big Art Group in 2001. Some of our most meaningful experiences have been the personal encounters that we’ve made with audiences and with other artists Download the Almanac13 inside the free Pform App through the years, and we wanted to take that experience of the festival for iPhone and Andriod at “artist’s tent”— a meeting place to have informal conversation, exchange http://pform.contemporaryperformance.com ideas, and compare notes — and recreate it for a global network, in order to bring more people under its canopy and ignite more discussion. We’ve been thrilled with the response. The Network continues to grow, evolve and adapt. As we are experimentalists ourselves, we are always looking for new ways to leverage technology, discover fresh communication strategies and play with form. In the process, we are continually learning and encountering surprises of our own as the Network changes. We couldn’t have done it without the support of family, friends and colleagues who provided encouragement and patience through the process, and to them we say thank you. And we thank above all the community of the Contemporary Performance Network for their participation and spirit, whose creativity daily inspires us and to whom this book is dedicated. Join the network at www.contemporaryperformance.org VI Contemporary Performance Almanac 2013 VII Artists and Companies Emmanuel Hernandez (Las Varillas - Córdoba, Argentina) Biography: The Fine Artist who is native of Las Varillas Town, Cordoba Province in Argentina, studied at ‘Escuela de Bellas Artes Dr. Jose Figueroa Alcorta in Cordoba, Capital. He started working in the performance, taking part in seasons of performances, and international festivals doing public presentations in different countries of Latin-American. He uses different languages through installations and interventions in the streets. His work is based on the action in its pure state, taking profit of the spaces as strategic places, creating questionable values about the countries. He also develops activities such as cultural advisor. Nowadays, he has opened his own art gallery called TEO in his city of origin. The artist makes his work aiming to transmit different emotions, trying to move the feelings of the observer using his body as a support. In the cultural management, he tries to break the myths and have a contemporary look at art through teaching, reaching different places, which are far away from the artistic and cultural field with a more social work. Disciplines: Performance IRRITABLE The objective of this action is to develop a process of production where the different periods and situations that people who suffer from irritable bowel syndrome go through, can be shown. Description: He starts sitting down on a wooden box in front of a mirror with a rope tied to his neck. The other extreme of the rope goes into a hole in the wooden box. Then he changes different kinds of masks. He gets around the room until the length of the rope allows him. Behind the mirror, there is an axe. When he picks it up, he starts breaking the top of the box, until it opens. When he reaches his objective, he ‘discovers’ that the rope is tied to an overall, which is alike the one he is wearing. He hugs it and leaves with it in his hands. When one is silent, the body speaks... when the soul cries, body explodes... when the mind is blocked, is he who is responsible for her to remember it. It is difficult or impossible trying to decipher the channel of communication between these two subjects. In this absurd analogy, one tries to symbolize the body as another subject that must deal with every day. Trying to overcome obstacles and defying limits that haunt the embarrassing for fear of ridicule. And here the great unknown that ends up making us more human and worldly... without guys or fellows. Looking at us ourselves and no one gives us a hand... Keywords: Bowel, Irritable Body, Mirror, Mind, Space.

Australian born, she studied in Poland amid the turmoil of Solidarity and Martial Law, attaining a Master of Fine Arts in 1983. ‘My ongoing interest in site-specificity, ritual and altered states are often physically demanding and durational in nature, manifesting in visually poetic performance pieces that resonate with a visceral depth. I create rich tableaux incorporating found objects in the performance which remain as as a trace installation, incorporating smell; the sense most directly connected to cerebral memory. I am motivated by the belief that the site of the body is the most accessible and emotive medium available to an artist; using it in ways that may be percieved as extreme enables direct access to the heart and to create a lasting the experience in the mind of the audience. The powerful effect of art has a capacity to move people.’ Based in Northern Rivers NSW, her work has been shown extensively throughout Australia and internationally. She has appeared at festivals and collaborated with Tony Yap Co, Pacitti Co, senVoodoo (co-founder), La Pocha Nostra, and Felix Ruckert. In 2013 AñA performed in Lismore, Brisbane, Sydney, Java and Malaysia. stepping stones... the culmination of a 4 year project re-tracing her family’s migration to Australia will be shown at Lismore Regional Art Gallery in early 2014.

Each day for two weeks I rode my bicycle to collect the letters, documenting the project on a blog: lovelettersincerely. wordpress.com. sincerely yours is the performative outcome derived from the content of the letters, devised in collaboration with Textile Audio: composer soprano Eve Klein. The physical presence of the letters feature in both the performance and trace installation. I see my roles as custodian of secrets that cross the space between distant people: the resonance created by these communications forms the basis for this performance. To maintain trust all contributors names were kept anonymous. This anonymity allowed an unaccustomed freedom of expression and intimacy. The performance evolves at each new location, in Java there were mounds of aromatic spices. A writing desk is made available for audience members to become a part of the tableau as they sit and write love letters, depositing their missives in a lidded box. Love letters are a universal language. Keywords: Sincerely Yours, Love Letters, Performance, Festivals Production History: August 2013: BigCi Bilpin NSW Australia.

    A Delicate Balance Negotiating Isolation and Globalization in the Burmese Performing Arts Catherine Diamond If you walk on and on, you get to your destination. If you question much, you get your information. If you do not sleep and idle, you preserve your life! (Maung Htin Aung 1959:87) So go the three lines of wisdom offered to the lazy student Maung Pauk Khaing in the well- known eponymous folk tale. A group of impoverished village youngsters, led by their teacher Daw Khin Thida, adapted the tale in 2007 in their first attempt to perform a play. From a well-to-do family that does not understand her philanthropic impulses, Khin Thida, an English teacher by profession, works at her free school in Insein, a suburb of Yangon (Rangoon) infamous for its prison. The shy students practiced first in Burmese for their village audience, and then in English for some foreign donors who were coming to visit the school. Khin Thida has also bought land in Bagan (Pagan) and is building a culture center there, hoping to attract the street children who currently pander to tourists at the site’s immense network of temples.

  • Circumambulation in Indian Pilgrimage: Meaning And
    232 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & ENGINEERING RESEARCH, VOLUME 12, ISSUE 1, JANUARY-2021 ISSN 2229-5518 Circumambulation in Indian pilgrimage: Meaning and manifestation Santosh Kumar Abstract— Our ancient literature is full of examples where pilgrimage became an immensely popular way of achieving spiritual aims while walking. In India, many communities have attached spiritual importance to particular places or to the place where people feel a spiritual awakening. Circumambulation (pradakshina) around that sacred place becomes the key point of prayer and offering. All these circumambulation spaces are associated with the shrines or sacred places referring to auspicious symbolism. In Indian tradition, circumambulation has been practice in multiple scales ranging from a deity or tree to sacred hill, river, and city. The spatial character of the path, route, and street, shift from an inside dwelling to outside in nature or city, depending upon the central symbolism. The experience of the space while walking through sacred space remodel people's mental and physical character. As a result, not only the sacred space but their design and physical characteristics can be both meaningful and valuable to the public. This research has been done by exploring in two stage to finalize the conclusion, In which First stage will involve a literature exploration of Hindu and Buddhist scripture to understand the meaning and significance of circumambulation and in second, will investigate the architectural manifestation of various element in circumambulatory which help to attain its meaning and true purpose.

  • The Creative Process
    The Creative Process THE SEARCH FOR AN AUDIO-VISUAL LANGUAGE AND STRUCTURE SECOND EDITION by John Howard Lawson Preface by Jay Leyda dol HILL AND WANG • NEW YORK www.johnhowardlawson.com Copyright © 1964, 1967 by John Howard Lawson All rights reserved Library of Congress catalog card number: 67-26852 Manufactured in the United States of America First edition September 1964 Second edition November 1967 www.johnhowardlawson.com To the Association of Film Makers of the U.S.S.R. and all its members, whose proud traditions and present achievements have been an inspiration in the preparation of this book www.johnhowardlawson.com Preface The masters of cinema moved at a leisurely pace, enjoyed giving generalized instruction, and loved to abandon themselves to reminis­ cence. They made it clear that they possessed certain magical secrets of their profession, but they mentioned them evasively. Now and then they made lofty artistic pronouncements, but they showed a more sincere interest in anecdotes about scenarios that were written on a cuff during a gay supper.... This might well be a description of Hollywood during any period of its cultivated silence on the matter of film-making. Actually, it is Leningrad in 1924, described by Grigori Kozintsev in his memoirs.1 It is so seldom that we are allowed to study the disclosures of a Hollywood film-maker about his medium that I cannot recall the last instance that preceded John Howard Lawson's book. There is no dearth of books about Hollywood, but when did any other book come from there that takes such articulate pride in the art that is-or was-made there? I have never understood exactly why the makers of American films felt it necessary to hide their methods and aims under blankets of coyness and anecdotes, the one as impenetrable as the other.

  • Jaarverslag 2016 Onafhankelijk Cultureel Centrum in It
    Jaarverslag 2016 Onafhankelijk Cultureel Centrum In It Voorwoord Dit jaarverslag is een weergave van de ontwikkelingen van het Onafhankelijk Cultureel Centrum In It (OCCII) in 2016. OCCII is een muziekpodium dat alternatieve en onafhankelijke muziek centraal stelt. Laag- drempelig, cultureel divers, avontuurlijk en dynamisch zijn de kernwoorden. OCCII is sinds haar oprichting in 1992 uitgegroeid tot een unieke ontmoetingsplek voor experimentele muziek, hét podium voor live muziek in dit deel van de stad. OCCII werkt met drie vaste medewerkers (2,7 fte) en een vijfkoppig bestuur. Met de ondersteuning van een grote groep vrijwilligers geven zij OCCII vorm en inhoud. Sinds 2010 is het bestuur van OCCII bezig met het uitbouwen en professionaliseren van de organisatie. Het artistieke beleid is afgestemd op de keuze een podium te zijn voor een breed scala aan muziek, met de nadruk op onafhankelijke “underground” muziek. OCCII is gehuisvest in het gebouwencomplex De Binnenpret in Amsterdam Zuid. Het podium draagt hier op een positieve wijze bij aan de diversiteit en de leefbaarheid en heeft daarmee ook een buurtfunctie. Het podium besteedt speciale aandacht aan kinderen (4-12 jaar) onder de noemer Kinderpret 1in het kader van sociale en culturele vorming. Wat betreft 2016 kijken wij terug op een spannend jaar met veel artistieke hoogtepunten, en tegelijkertijd wisselende resultaten op het gebied van bezoekersaantallen en inkomsten. De bezoekersaantallen lieten een daling zien ten opzichte van het jaar ervoor. Aangezien 2015 een uitzonderlijk succesvol jaar was wat betreft de bezoekersaantallen is het niet vreemd dat er in 2016 een terugval is. Het publieksbereik van OCCII is en blijft echter een belangrijk aandachtspunt voor de komende jaren.

  • Embodiment in Middle English Lyric
    Beste of bon and blod: Embodiment in Middle English Lyric Sarah Kathryn Moore A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2015 Reading Committee: Míċeál Vaughan, Chair Colette Moore Carolyn Allen Program Authorized to Offer Degree: English © Copyright 2015 Sarah Kathryn Moore ii University of Washington Abstract Beste of bon and blod: Embodiment in Middle English Lyric Sarah Kathryn Moore Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Míċeál Vaughan English This dissertation argues that Middle English lyric is uniquely successful at connecting readers and hearers with our own bodies and with the bodies of medieval textual subjects. This effect occurs on the levels of content, form, and tone, although my emphasis is primarily on the formal components through which the connection is achieved, and my evidence is drawn largely from formal analysis of the songs. The methods through which the lyrics connect us with our bodies are sophisticated and include especially the carefully managed use of the linguistic category of deixis; nuanced, intentional portrayal and evocation of affect, or physically demonstrated emotion; and implicit and explicit reference (via form and content respectively) to the ways in which lyrics were literally embodied by medieval subjects through danced performance. I argue that Middle English lyrics construct and maintain the “I” of an uttering subject while also reinforcing an embodied sense of self in the text’s reader or hearer. The corpus of surviving lyrics uniquely demonstrates how language, subjectivity, the body, and poetic form are related, speaking to the profound utility of verse (both in the medieval period and today) in constructing a sense of self and in relating to and empathizing with others.
