The Commons @ 401

On the Table Off the TablePut together by Shannon Cochrane and Francesco GagliardiOn the Table Off the Table is a series of commissioned performance works engaging with the table as context, stage, and trope. Aspiring to aesthetic neutrality or demanding attention as a chosen object, the table reappears throughout the history of performance, at times taking center stage, at other times hiding in plain sight.For this series, artists working at the confluence of performance art and a range of diverse practices—from writing to dance, from sound to magic—will create live work in conversation with performance traditions about, around, and on tables.FADO Performance Art Centre’s first post(?)-pandemic live series, On the Table Off the Table also intends to provide artists and audiences with an opportunity to re-learn together how to inhabit the space of public presentation, rediscovering the solitary workstation as a place of gathering and play.PERFORMANCE SCHEDULESeptember 23: Vanessa Dion Fletcher (Toronto), Cara Spooner (Toronto)September 24: Joe Culpepper (USA) &amp; Marcin Kedzior (Toronto), Claudia Edwards (Toronto)September 29: Mathieu Lacroix (Montréal), Sue Murad (USA)September 30: Mani Mazinani (Toronto), Nadège Grebmeier Forget (Montréal)October 1: Jehan Roberson (USA) This final performance in the series is co-presented by Hemispheric Encounters, a partnership project supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.PLUS, get your own limited edition paper placemat designed by Lisa Kiss, showcasing the incredible drawings and typography of Hazel Meyer.DETAILS &amp; INFO<ul><li>Free.
