2017-18 ARTISTS

RESEARCH HUB RESIDENCY: PAUL SHEPHERD + VALERIE CALAM
Our goal is to create a new duet that equally represents dance and music without privileging one art form over the other. Using ‘tuning-in’ and ’pushing out’ as a concept, we will be looking for the clearest offering. There will be labour behind this quest in exchange for transmitting the perfect frequency. We will reference cassette tape culture and ex-raver friends’ video submissions. Using our individual arsenal of tools, we will be mindful of how they overlap and layer—training ourselves to turn the light on in the middle of what is happening. |

RESEARCH HUB RESIDENCY: BRUCE GIBBONS FELL + BENJAMIN MCCARTHY
Our goal is to create a sound installation and a monodrama that can dialogue with each other.Genesis Plenty is inspired by Latin America in the 1970s, James Bond movies starring Roger Moore, proto-internet cybernetic research (Project Cybersyn), branding, zombie neoliberalism, and the work of Ingmar Bergman. Focusing on multilingual creation as a key element, we will play with live dubbing (English/Spanish) in performance. We want to create a piece that can be delivered to an audience in the English language, but performed in Spanish, through a live dubbing mechanism. |

RESEARCH HUB RESIDENCY: VIV MOORE
Becoming Invisible - A Disappearing Act I will be physically exploring invisibility and disappearance. During the past 2.5 intense years, a frozen shoulder then caregiver stress, made me disappear. Social life narrowed, fitness levels plummeted, creativity diminished and my self-imposed sense of invisibility increased. The concepts of isolation and alienation associated with invisibility don't fit for me - an outgoing person. My alien body and mentally/emotionally fragile being needs to feel visible again. The weekly solitary studio practice and end-sharing will help kickstart a fresh curiosity in my continued inspiration as an eclectic dance theatre artist, and wherever that may take me in a new dancing body. |

RESEARCH HUB RESIDENCY: [elephants] COLLECTIVE
Over the course of the residency, [elephants] collective will be developing its new work End Times; loving you 'til the wheels fall off, a performance based on the premise of exploring what it means to be at the end of a epoch. For the last several months, the collective has been researching a variety of topics; religious conceptions of end times, paradigm shift, technological innovations, plagues, social reform, etc. Over the course of our residency, we'll be using this research as a departure point into the creation of performance proposals, which will ultimately be combined to make the final work. Our plan is to build over two separate creation periods, with a further research period in-between, at which point we will exhibit our work-in-progress for a small audience. |

LAUNCHPAD RESIDENCY: MARIA WODZINSKA
Configurations of a Divine Bitch is part bouffon show, part ritual; drawing from the mystere form from the Jacques Lecoq School. At times, it is non-sequitur like a David Lynch film. Episodic, following our body’s experience of mystery, short pieces blend into one another. Ensemble created mystere objects are propositions for space/time relationships related to each mystery (menarche, orgasm, pregnancy, birthgiving, menopause, and death). These objects are the root of investigation for the ritual aspect of our performance. These segments are punctuated, disrupted by bouffons that break the fourth wall to directly criticize internal hypocrisy and contradiction within third-wave feminism. |
|
COMMUNITY CHEST RESIDENCY: SUPRIYA NAYAK
This residency will feature four curated workshops by practitioners of Indian dance forms, specifically Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Chhau/Kalari and Kuchipudi. These will be the focal point for a group of dancers to come together as a community, converse, exchange curiosities and skills, once a month over a six month period. We will track the ways in which the body responds to living and training in different environments, with old and new communities, and examine the prospects of dancing in Toronto in the present. |

GALLERY SERIES: SUSIE BURPEE
the notes project For the past 15 years, I've collected notes that I've found on the ground. Love letters, grocery lists, thank you notes, F*CK You! notes, appeals for forgiveness, cries for help, x-rated stuff, school poetry... For me they are clues. With just a few details, paper and words becomes flesh and soul. The collection seems to breathe as an interconnected social commentary. Part exhibit, part performance, the notes project is about consideration. How do we consider the situation of someone we've never met? What is my reflection, projection, bias, or just wishful thinking? Let's consider how we consider. |

LIVE-IN RESIDENCY: hannah_g
Tyranny Songs is a one-woman performance with soundscape, spoken word, and choreographed movement exploring the effects of overt and subtle tyrannies and their disguised deployments of power on individual voices and bodies. The hub14 Live-in Residency affords me the opportunity to generate movement and gestures for this performance. My work is often site specific, but the site can be a painting or a performance as well as geographic, political, or emotional. It is grounded in connecting myself to people, places, and ideas and heightening or transforming them via queer narratives. I am currently directing my storytelling practice in a more abstracted and physical direction. |
