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.
