GRANTWRITING / Quote from Janet Lumb, Festival Accès Asie, Montreal, 2011

2011-06-24T21:05:00.000-07:00

*A HAPPY CLIENT*

Quote from Janet Lumb, Festival Accès Asie, Montreal, 2011

"My grant applications to Canada Council for the Arts for funding for
Festival Accès Asie, an Asian arts festival in Montreal, have been
successful since 1998 but have over several years always included
comments such as: needs more clarity, please explain with more detail
and back up your explanations with examples, etc.

Thanks to Jane's AMAZING patience, questions, help and writing to
better communicate and transmit from my head to words on paper, the
feedback and comments from the Canada Council for the arts Equity
officer were for a FIRST TIME EVER:

Janet!! Your application was ...so strong... ... clear, articulate,
well described, detailed concise and so well communicated !

I beamed with joy at the time but the credit REALLY belongs to Jane, not me.
THANK YOU JANE!!"

Well that quote made my day ! : )

Salon d'art performance royal

2011-03-15T21:26:00.000-07:00

Le Salon d’art performance royal vous invite, le vendredi 11 février prochain, à une soirée entièrement consacrée à la pratique de l'art performance.

Cette manifestation artistique hors norme vous fera visiter la royauté sous un regard contemporain. Jeux de pouvoirs et mythologies populaires réactualiseront cette image de suprématie qui, par ses multiples visages, a nourri notre imaginaire collectif.

Vingt-et-un artistes émergents présenteront des prestations singulières d’art performance, dans le cadre de cette discipline propice aux expérimentations les plus inusitées.

L’événement débutera à 19h à la galerie L'art passe à l'Est, située dans le quartier Hochelaga-Maisonneuve.

Thank you Patti, Claudia et Gabrielle!

FUN!

I "knighted" a 9-year old boy - it was all in the best of the good spirits yes

please don't worry about the mummified man...that was his performance piece...he emerged with wings from the cocoon....

Interview with (the wonderful) choreographer Benoit Lachambre in Movement Research Performance Journal Issue #37

Quotes from Benoit Lachambre:

"So as soon as you start to question, the system starts to melt. Things shift, and that means values are shifting."

"...information is always a circular thing, and is always about influence. All movement is always about influence."

ENCOUNTERING ARTISTS
Artist and producer Jane Gabriels says that one of the best things you can do for your artist friends is to give them a deadline. With that in mind, Gabriels “loosely curates” artistic evenings to encourage meetings and exchanges.
Artist Encounters is the latest event, taking place this Monday, June 28 at Casa del Popolo (4873 St-Laurent) at 9 p.m., $8. Expect an evening filled with stories, Spanish poetry, dance, French rap, hip hop, performance photography and Russian performance art that somehow involves vodka.
“It’s a way to get everyone together and see what they’re up to artistically,” says Gabriels who will also be performing. “It’s a way to increase conversation…mixing it up, and inspiring people to go for it.
That’s what I like.”
For a more movement-specific evening, Gabriels also puts together a dance happening. Check out Informal Showings at Studio 303 (372 Ste-Catherine W., #303) this Sunday, June 27 at 5 p.m., $7, which features short new works from eight choreographers including Alyson Wishnousky, Keven Lee and Reena Almoneda Chang.
