8. TEACHING

(a) Areas of special interest and accomplishments

Teaching Accomplishments Perhaps one of my greatest accomplishments as an educator has been to successfully integrate my research and my teaching. With colleague Neil Cadger, I established Inner Fish Performance Co., a not-for-profit society in 2010 dedicated to offering funding and national and international educational and professional opportunities for emerging interdisciplinary artists. The SSHRC funded Eco-Art Incubator project, for which I am co-investigator alongside Nancy Holmes, has also provided funding and national and international educational and professional opportunities for Graduate and Undergraduate students at UBC O and for local artists and environmental organizations.

In 2014 Rachel Martens, an MFA Graduate Student under my supervision received a Joseph-Armand Bombardier Canada Graduate Scholarships: Master's Scholarship (SSHRC) and Shimshon Obadia, an undergraduate student under my supervision, received an Undergraduate Research Award of $5000 and was chosen to represent the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies in the UBC Okanagan Our Stories campaign as an example of excellence in undergraduate research. Through Directed Studies, Work Study and an Undergraduate Research Assistantship with Page 3/26

me, Obadia has been working on the Fascieux Creek project in partnership with The Eco Art Incubator and École K.L.O. Middle School. Shimshon delivered a paper at a Performative Ecologies conference at the University of Alberta in the fall of 2013 and he will also deliver a paper discussing this eco art project Daylighting Fascieux Creek at the Association for Environment Studies and Sciences conference in New York, June 2014. I am also supervising Shimshon in the creation of a documentary about this project.

Program Development

My primary objective as an educator here at UBC Okanagan has been to establish the BFA degree in Interdisciplinary Performance. I have helped design and later refine this program and shepherded it through the department, faculty, and senate curriculum committees. I later helped to establish a Minor in Performance by the same process. I have shared the position of program coordinator or have been sole program coordinator for the Interdisciplinary Performance program from 2007-2013.

Innovations in Teaching I was involved in the Digital Media Commons Pilot Project that won a Curriculum Innovation Award under the leadership of History Professor Jessica Stites Mor. Working with History Professor Stites Mor and Cultural Studies Professor Dr. Daniel Keyes we helped to establish a Media Centre. The aim of the project was to utilize existing resources to integrate digital media training into the classroom. I have also served on the campus-wide Media Services Advisory Committee. In the classroom, my teaching is my research, and in my research, my students are often my collaborators. While it might be common for students to co-author papers in academia, in my discipline it is rare that students have the opportunity to work alongside their professors or professionals in the creation of a new work. The process requires extensive negotiation and mentorship, but the benefits to the students are many. Not only do these projects build students’ professional portfolios for future career opportunities, but through collaborative creation with professors and professionals, valuable experiential learning regarding form, content, and methodology occurs. My research projects have also provided extra-curricular learning opportunities for students in the form of workshops, funding for projects, and work-study.

Teaching Philosophy My research and teaching in the Interdisciplinary Performance program at UBCO is anchored in devised creation work. It is a form of creation in which the script originates not from a writer, but from collaborative, usually improvisatory work by the artists themselves. Unlike many forms of theatre that draw from already existing material, this style of practice is uniquely positioned to create work in response to current events as they unfold and in response to specific community concerns. The work is inextricably linked to the communities within which it is made. While my teaching within the performing arts has always privileged the body situated in place, I am interested in further developing its potential to offer different epistemologies.

My art form is inherently collaborative. This is the nature of the work I do and it is also an aspect of my expertise (to collaborate within my discipline and between different disciplines). Although it is impossible to accurately quantify an individual’s contribution to a collaborative process, for the purposes of this application I have listed percentages in the left column as an estimation of my individual contribution to the process and finished artistic work/publication.

Co-Producer (50%) CONCRETE: KLO Western Painted Turtle Kelowna, BC 2013-2014 with Nancy Holmes Project is a partnership project between the Page 16/26

University of British Columbia Eco-Art Incubator’s faculty and students and École K.L.O. Middle school faculty and students. The goal of the partnership is to use eco art strategies and pedagogies to assist in the restoration of the school grounds’ wetland habitat of Fascieux creek, home to the Western Painted Turtle. Performance student Shimshon Obadia worked in the school to produce a documentary, public art project, and student driven art. Co-Producer (50%) The Yellow Schoolhouse Project Yellow Schoolhouse, Peachland, BC Fall 2013 with Nancy Holmes The goal of the Yellow Schoolhouse Project is to make art and generate conversation about Peachland and the Okanagan. The Yellow Schoolhouse Project provides an opportunity for

participants to re-explore and re-imagine their

community and communicate these ideas to others. The Yellow Schoolhouse Project has three main facets: provocations and workshops and a photo essay on winery aesthetics. Terroir is one event being produced under the umbrella of this initiative.

Terroir Based on the beautiful lie of "terroir" - the Little Schoolhouse, Peachland, BC concept that time, place and human endeavor can be expressed in a vintage bottle of wine - this event examines how the relatively shallow history of colonial agricultural settlement in this province might be encapsulated in its people. Taking advantage of McIntosh’s training as a sommelier and the ergonomics of serving wine, the work allows for the consideration of our bodies as vessels of myth, history, lies, desire and geography. The work was a collaboration between geographer/photographer Andrew Barton, David McIntosh, and The Eco Art Incubator.

The Project was funded by The Eco Art Incubator (SSHRC) and the Okanagan Sustainability Institute.

The structure of the Performed at Masonic Hall, Port project has two distinct halves. For the first half of the Townsend, WA project the hosts prepare and serve four meals in exchange for stories. Those stories are recorded then used to create a performance that is performed back to all the participants and their guests in exchange for food.

The project was funded by The Western State Arts Federation and The National Endowment for the Arts, Mandala Center for Change (MCC), Inner Fish Performance Co., the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies and the Eco-Art Incubator (SSHRC). Co-Producer (50%) Vivarium 1: SCAR SITES Knox Mountain, Kelowna, BC June, 2012 with Nancy Holmes Fifteen local artists were selected to take part in Vivarium. They were chosen for their long-term commitment to making art in the Okanagan and for demonstrated interest in eco art. They participated in a four-day practicum in eco art with Beth Caruthers, culminating in an afternoon of presenting on-site project proposals and public interventions on Kelowna’s Knox Mountain park/ recreation area. The project was intended to seed projects that the Eco-Art Incubator could support in some way in the future (administratively, financially, theoretically). The project was funded through The Eco-Art Incubator (SSHRC), and the City of Kelowna.

SOUNDCAN: ART OF PUBLIC NOISE TOUR June, 2011 The Soundcan Project was an experiment using indoor and outdoor public spaces as performance venues for live art. The intention is to interrupt habit and challenge traditional and sanctioned cultural exchanges. In May and June of 2011, six public interventions in Europe were created, performed and recorded for a documentary film depicting public intervention practices and their goals and outcomes. Soundcan technology combines a portable amplifier and a battery with an audio speaker inserted into an aluminum can. The Soundcan is connected to an Page 18/26

Writer, Director, Producer, Editor NEW MONACO In progress 2013 New Monaco is a documentary film acting as a poetic witness for the five-year transformation of 125 acres of rural Okanagan land into an innovative mixed-use community. Four seasons of untouched terrain are disrupted by images of destruction as developers break ground. This destruction then evolves into reconstruction as a community is created to reflect and honor the very aesthetic and essence of the landscape from which it was born. Through time-lapse photography, interviews, and the long-term archiving of events, this documentary follows a real estate development process from its groundbreaking beginnings through the first stages of its realization.

The Eco Art Incubator SSHRC $198,000.00 Nancy Holmes and Denise Kenney The long-term goal of this project is to set up a permanent eco art culture in this valley that will continually bring artistic ways of knowing into the discussion around development and conservation in the Okanagan valley, a region under much environmental pressure. However, we also realize that our location in the interior of British Columbia means that many of our students and faculty perceive that art-making happens elsewhere. If a community of artists is disengaged from the actual communities they live in, eco art with its focus on the local cannot happen. Therefore, the immediate goal of The Eco Art Incubator, is the creation of a structure meant to re-configure artistic practice out of our identification of our region’s unique resources and its geographical location.

Drawing on the idea of technology or business incubators, this ongoing project provide support for eco art in this valley by fostering a network of artists, collaborators, and contacts with the goals that Okanagan conservation programs will benefit, that students will be trained in this growing field of fine arts, that our disciplinary silos will be challenged, and that artists will realize the potential of having deep roots in a regional arts community. The Eco Art Incubator has two important components: 1) it generates eco art in the Okanagan by providing a wide-ranging support system for research, development, completion, and dissemination. Graduate and undergraduate students are linked with community artists, ecologists, activists, and scientists through a comprehensive series of Okanagan-based resources and projects. The students come from all the fine arts areas in which we have faculty expertise: visual arts, media arts, creative writing, and performance. 2) The Incubator catalogues the work in “The Recyclopedia,” an open source digital archive of eco art projects that can be shared, recycled, and re-used for future projects. The project’s goal is to not simply generate a series of works of art, but to seed long-term practices and to create case studies and models that can be used for future communities and art-makers.
