60x60 Toronto
60x60 Dance is seeking choreographers, dancers and performance artists of all styles and genres to participate in the upcoming 60x60 Dance event at the Music Gallery, Toronto on Saturday Nov 20, 2010, at 8 p.m.
60x60 Project is a one-hour-long show made by sequencing 60 pre-recorded pieces by 60 different composers, each piece a minute in length or shorter. This event will present the Crimson Mix, which premiered at the International Computer Music Conference in New York City in June 2010. For 60x60 dance events, 60 choreographers will be invited to create a one-minute performance to one of the 60 compositions. The 60 performances will be joined to create a 1-hour show, co-ordinated by Viv Moore, and co-produced by Tova Kardonne in association with founder Rob Voisey and Vox Novus.
Eclectic by nature, 60x60 Dance offers an unmatched diversity of styles, making for a fast-paced, electrifying one-of-a-kind performance that never ceases to surprise. Dances can span all forms from ballet to hip-hop to ballroom and contemporary, while the music spans the breadth and depth of all that's possible in current electroacoustic creation.
"An express without any delay....It's this kind of madness that makes the cultural world go round."-The New York Times
The one-minute time frame of 60 x 60 creations induces a haiku-like poetic form of dance. Emerging and established dancers alike have an opportunity to create a signature piece that showcases their eloquence, individuality and economy of expression. All participating choreographers will receive a professional dvd recording and photograph of their work.
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: SEPT 10, 2010.
Please submit the following to the address below: Name, contact info, link to work, short bio and style of dance. Choreographers will be notified of their acceptance by Sept 17, 2010.
Selected groups and individuals must be available for a group rehearsal on Sunday Nov 14, and for the day of the event (November 20) for an informational meeting, walk-through, dress rehearsal and performance. Otherwise rehearsals are to be conducted on an individual level.

THE RIVER PEACE
by Thomas + Guinevere
w/ the collaboration of composer John McDowell
Presented by
The Distillery Historic District
for Scotiabank Nuit Blanche 2010, October 2nd, 7pm - 7am
Scotiabank Nuit Blanche is a signature event produced by the City of Toronto.
Call for Public Participation - Movement Meditations
Thomas + Guinevere is looking for dancers to participate in their newest project entitled The River Peace. The work will have its premiere this coming October 2, 2010 at Scotiabanks’s Nuit Blanche 2010 in Toronto as an independent project presented by The Historic Distillery District.
About The River Peace:
The River Peace is a mass durational performance art installation inspired by Mahatma Gandhi's concept and use of Satyagraha that will last 12-hours from 7pm to 7am. The metaphor is the flow and current of a natural river. The concept arose from the question; could the artists not create a metaphoric river where the content is not water; but human, and whose end is to collectively construct a large-scale sensation of artistic engagement expressing a temporal sculptural form inclusive of movement, light and sound as a large-scale public meditation on peace?
On the evening of The River Peace’s presentation, the public is invited to participate, that is to join in the river’s flow. The public will also add to the river’s luminosity through the use of their cell phone light. Though some of the public will only watch, the artists’ encourage everyone to join into this large-scale yet simple and collective movement and light meditation on peace. The only way to truly see and experience this artwork is by being the artwork.
To complete the total effect of The River Peace, it will be captured on video and projected onto The Distillery’s walls for the public to witness the real-time media results of everyone’s participatory creation
Though inspired by Mahatma Gandhi's concept and use of Satyagraha: the collective force of peace born of truth and love and the enthusiasm to carry it out, it is also an artwork driven by the impulse we believe rests within every single individual when given the opportunity to express and experience it. The history and stories of these experiences, large and small, will be the foundation of The River Peace's collective expression and meditative movement, sound and form.
What’s involved in the Movement Meditations?
Participants who would like to participate in the movement meditation aspect of this work will have the opportunity to develop and perform a solo movement meditation to be presented as part of The River Peace. Like lighthouses, the dancers in meditation will highlight the river’s course. As beacons of light and peace, their energy draws the river towards them and guides the public through the winding corridors of the Distillery. This is a wonderful opportunity to explore durational performance in a safe environment and to be part of a large-scale collaborative artwork.
Dancers who choose to participate in the project will be required to attend a series (2 or 3) free workshops over a period of three weeks. In the workshops, dancers will learn a short movement sequence and then bring their own style, technique and interests to expand the sequence into their own personal expression. A collaborative feedback process will allow dancers to share their work and receive feedback from other participants.
The proposed creative process embraces an independent creative freedom. It also integrates a common movement vocabulary that allows artists to be connected with one another throughout the night and with the large-scale vision of the artwork. The movement meditations will be presented the night of Nuit Blanche in conjunction with John McDowell’s soundscape (see more about John below). Individuals who want to participate will not be required the entire night of Nuit Blanche. A commitment to a 2-3 hour meditation is recommended. Workshops will commence the week September 13th. Days and times will be flexible.
What is Thomas + Guinevere?
Thomas + Guinevere is made-up of artists Thom Sokoloski and Jenny Anne McCowan, whose acclaimed large-scale public participatory installation “The Encampment” was first commissioned for Nuit Blanche in 2006 with the title “Confinement of the Intellect” and presented in Trinity Bellwoods Park. With the revised title “The Encampment”, it then went on to New York City (Roosevelt Island-07) and Ottawa (Major Hill’s Park-08).
Last year, Thom was the official curator for Zone A and is best known for his experimental theatre and opera work with Autumn Leaf Performance including Hermes Trismegistos by R. Murray Schafer inside Union Station and his own Kafka in Love inside the Hart House Swimming pool with synchronized swimmers. Jenny-Anne is a dancer and choreographer whose early performances in mass rhythmic gymnastics helped develop her ideas of public momentum. She explored this idea in depth at York University where she completed her Masters thesis on dancing in the Rave Scene. Last year for Nuit Blanche, Jenny created an all night conceptual work inspired by the Dance-off's and Dance Marathons of Depression Era in Toronto. Together, their works focus on large-scale site specific art installations informed by history and realized through creative engagement that provokes and inspires mass public participation. The River Peace is their newest work and they are very excited to be collaborating with John McDowell on this project.
Composer John McDowell achieved worldwide recognition with his soundtrack to the Academy Award winning documentary “Born into Brothels” Winner of Best Musical Score at the Bend Film Festival, the score blends Western and Indian music in a mesmerizing mix and features the seductive vocals of Brazilian Girls vocalist Sabina Sciubba. He was the composer for the documentary Stolen, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September, 2009.From the NYC area, John has worked with the likes of Sting, Santana, R.Murray Schafer and Donna Karan. In 2007, John orchestrated the soundscape for Thomas & Guinevere’s The Encampment in NYC on Roosevelt Island.
How do I sign up?
