About Lilach Pnina Livne:

Lilach Pnina Livne (b. 1986) is an artist, choreographer, dancer, organizer and researcher. Livne creates performative exhibitions and artistic actions that challenge the unconscious mechanism of image-creation made by spectators in an art space, reflecting how that same mechanism narrows our perception and ability to meet ‘the other’ as a multi-layered and complex individual. Working mainly with female performers, professional and non, Livne practices live experimentations in which human subjects act as the main material. As viewers gaze at these ‘art objects’ and their bodies in space, Livne creates choreographed conditions that give her performers tools to constantly resist becoming a mere object to be gazed at –morphing pre-defined scenes into unexpected humane moments of intimacy, care, friendship, randomness, choice, chaotic sexuality, inner-thoughts and self-reflection. Thus, creating new relations between viewers and participants, one that strives for a more equal and compassionate landscape.

Livne’s performative exhibitions, workshops, performances, practice, lectures, parties, labs, schools, rituals were presented in various artistic, educational and social platforms such as the 20th Biennale of Sydney, Australia; ImPulsTanz festival, Vienna; BlackBox Theater, Oslo; Bastille Design Center, Paris, Coventry University, UK; JUNE Gallery, Berlin; Goshka Macuga Studio, London; Monte Verita Center, Switzerland; Altered States Festival, The Hague; Salonul De Proiecte Gallery, Bucharest; Bikini Gallery, Basel; Publication of Livne’s practice book “Prayer for the Abstract” at Circadian Publication, Berlin, etc.

In addition to Livne’s work with professional dancers and performers, she works with large groups of women and teenagers, including non-binaries and transgender persons, and works at At-Risk-Youth institutes – incorporating her artistic research of Seeing-Being-Seen into social work as well. In 2021, she founded Lilach Pnina Livne institution – a venue which functions as a studio—school—gallery.

Livne studied at the Choreography Department at Amsterdam School of the Arts (SNDO) and at the School of Experimental Dance (SEAD) in Salzburg, Austria. Later she studied Philosophy at Tel Aviv University (TAU), focusing on aesthetics, philosophy of religions and gender studies.

Opportunities: workshop with Ron Daniels ( Royal SHakespeare company (paris) Deadline – october 10

Opportunity: Workshop with Ron Daniels ( Royal Shakespeare Company)
Where: Paris
When: November 12 until November 22
Deadline: October 10
Online Application:
Fee to Participate or Apply: yes

Description Of Opportunity:

Anglo-Brazilian director, 15 years with the Royal Shakespeare Company as artistic director of the Other Place Theatre (Stratford) and Honorary Associate Director of the troupe, then associate artistic director of the American Repertory Theater (Boston) for 5 years, he directed the greatest Shakespearean actors of the time including Mark Rylance, Derek Jacobi, Roger Rees, Hariet Walter, Juliet Stevenson. Full CV: https://www.rondanielsdirector.com/

British but also Brazilian, theatre director but also opera, Ron has had the opportunity to create in several languages: English, Portuguese, Italian, even Japanese. However, this internship and the collaboration with Kulturscio’k represent for Ron his first project in France and in the French language. Also — since this is a research and not a lesson — is he excited to discover contemporary and francophone approaches to the language of Shakespeare, and to explore with the trainees how the tools of the Shakespearean play can be applied to classical and modern works in the French repertoire.

Assisted by PAUL SPERA: Franco-American actor of theatre, cinema, TV, trained at Yale and the CNSAD, he plays in English, French or Italian; he collaborates with KULTURSCIOK since 2019, notably on the projects Oreste Will Be Back, Sibylsessions, #TrilogyRemix, and soon Garden Party. CV: https://www.time-art.com/talent/paul-spera.htm

Over ten days, we will propose a research journey that starts from the Shakespearean sonnet, then explores tirade and soliloquy, to finally approach the work of dialogues and scenes. Special attention will be given to the great tirades called “active”: the funeral orations of Brutus and Marc Antoine (Julius Caesar), the prologue of Gloucester (Richard III), the tirade of Titania (Songe d’une nuit d’Été), the defense of Hermione (Le Conte d’Hiver), as well as the so-called “reflexive” tirades, including those of Richard in prison (Richard II), Henry on the Mound (Henry VI p3), Clarence (Richard III), Henry the night before the battle (Henry V), Viola (La nuit des Rois), Imogen (Cymbeline), or, of course, Being or not being (Hamlet). Two intensive weeks of 40 hours per week, which may culminate in a presentation for a guest audience.

Objectives

The aim is to learn through Shakespeare’s work – mastering his particular language, the mechanisms of his verb and his dramaturgy – in order to discover the freedom and creative force that the poet offers the actor. With, as a guide and travel companion, one of the most influential Shakespearean directors of recent decades.

Opportunities: Online course with Marilyn Arsem "Engaging the Viewer" (online) Deadline – September 26, 2024

Opportunity: Online course with Marilyn Arsem “Engaging the Viewer”
Where: online
When: October 1, 8, 15, and 29, Tuesdays 6-8PM CET
Deadline: September 26, 2024
Fee to Participate or Apply: EUR 175

Description Of Opportunity:

Who is your audience? How do you engage with them in your work? What do you expect of them? What do you want to tell them? What do you want to learn from them? Whether you are creating interventions on the street, instruction pieces, participatory works, or presentational performances in front of a large audience, you are working in relation to the audience, and an exchange is always taking place between you and the viewers.An audience who actively chooses to come to see your performance engages with the work differently than the audience who unintentionally encounters your work in a public setting within the context of their daily life. And when they are asked to be an active participant, yet another level of engagement is invoked. The environment in which your work is seen – the location, the time of day, other activities that are happening in the vicinity of your work, how you appear, how you initiate an action, also impact how viewers respond to you.

This workshop explores a spectrum of ways with which performance artists might interact with their viewers. You will design and perform different kinds of actions that experiment with your relationship to the audience and consider different strategies that you might use in engaging them in the work. The live sessions will include performance exercises that you have prepared, as well as discussions of the work and readings. Assignments between sessions include a weekly action in public space, readings, and preparations for the exercises in the online sessions. You will also be asked a set of related questions each week to reflect on and write about privately.
For a final project, you will be asked to create a participatory performance, and present documentation of the work.

The course follows a format of four live sessions over the course of five weeks: October 1, 8, 15, and 29, with the week of October 20th dedicated to the preparation of final works. Individual meetings about the final project will be scheduled in week 3.

Opportunities: Online workshop with VestAndPage "Performance-based Filmmaking" (online) Deadline – September 9, 2024

Opportunity: Online workshop with VestAndPage “Performance-based Filmmaking”
Where: online
When: September 14, 21, 28, October 5, 19, 2024; Saturdays, 4-7PM CET
Deadline: September 9, 2024
Fee to Participate or Apply: EUR 250

Description Of Opportunity:

This intensive workshop with artists duo VestAndPage is dedicated to performance-based filmmaking’s conceptual, aesthetic, and practical aspects. This field exists at a dynamic intersection of two art forms: body-based performance art and filmmaking. To inquire into the pillars that constitute the cross-contamination of those two practices, we expand upon the “Poetics of Relations”, the embodied research we have pursued since 2006, to discuss some of the conditions and methods of performance-based film work production and presentation. It involves exploring the differentiation between objective and subjective points of view and perspectives while performing for the video camera and how to allow the viewers to receive what the performers experience. During the Workshop, we will watch a series of excerpts from performance-based films that help illustrate and refine our discussions of the difficulties accompanying these problems. Attention is placed on exploring the similarities and variations between the realization of imaginary worlds and the interpretation of reality as it appears to the eye.
In this course, we do not teach filmmaking or editing techniques. Instead, we address the essential questions such as:
• The difference between video and film work;
• The reasons why to choose a specific topic;
• Scouting locations;
• Performing for the camera, even in extreme conditions;
• How to forge a personal poetics;
• The role of spoken word, music and sound;
• How to structure a (non-linear) narrative through moving images;
• Production and post-production of a performance-based film.

Theoretical components include the analysis of excerpts from performance-based films we reckon fundamental to the development of the practice. In this, we reflect on the differences between video documentation of performance art and performance-for-camera, the nature of the poetic image and its performativity, the use of space, time, objects, the human body concerning the technical medium, the physical side of film production, site-specific performance work, guerrilla tactics vs bureaucracy, and sustainability.

Practical assignments aim to enhance participants’ creative endeavour, action and genuine expression, the private as the political, memory activation, and one’s inner universe to explore reality autonomously. Participants are invited to create performance-based video works intended as possible seeds for performance-based films and consider their motivations, urgencies, concepts, inspirations, visions, challenges, and expectations in collective feedback sessions. The restitution of the online course foresees a final presentation of the produced performance-based video works.

The workshop is taught on September 14, 21, 28, and October 5, 19, 2024; 4-7PM CET

PREREQUISITES

The only formal prerequisite for this course is at least one previous work, either a performance or a video.

The School for the Contemporary Arts at Simon Fraser University invites applications for a full-time tenure-track position in Theatre & Performance, at the rank of Assistant Professor, starting July 15, 2025.

In 2023, the School for the Contemporary Arts (SCA) launched its newly redesigned Theatre & Performance program with a stronger, experimental focus on contemporary practices in live art and performance. We seek an interdisciplinary working artist with demonstrated expertise in the broad fields of theatre and performance. Applicants must have significant creative output and experience teaching in one or more of the following areas:

+ contemporary performance and live art
+ experimental and devised theatre
+ performance based social practice
+ site responsive practice
+ movement and body-based practice
+ text for performance

The successful candidate must be able to design and teach courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels. These curricula should provide practical, artistic and theoretical contexts for the school’s expansive vision of contemporary and interdisciplinary performance. We encourage applications from individuals working in unique, emerging and underrepresented areas within the broad field of contemporary performance.

Candidate Qualifications:

  • MA, MFA, or PhD in a field or discipline of relevance.
  • A vibrant and continuing performance practice with significant creative output in one or more of the following areas: live art, devised/post dramatic theatre, social practice, digital/multimedia, immersive/site specific, expansive choreographic practice and/or time-based practices.
  • An ability to combine creative practice with critical inquiry in teaching and researching contemporary performance.
  • Experience combining a wide range of methodologies and artistic disciplines beyond traditional theatre; commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration.
  • A capacity to share, clearly and effectively, the theoretical, practical, and technical methodologies and historical/social contexts of their creative research with undergraduate and graduate students.
  • Experience working effectively, flexibly, collaboratively, and ethically with diverse communities of artists, educators and students across the university and local groups.
  • Established interest and capability in self-sufficient, hands-on making, and the ability to guide and unify full-scale public-facing works with modest resources.

Review of applications will begin on November 4, 2024, and continue until the position is filled. To ensure full consideration applications should be submitted by this date. Please note that materials submitted will not be returned.

Simon Fraser University is an institution whose strength is based on our shared commitments to diversity, equity and inclusion. Diversity is an underlying principle of our Strategic Vision, which pledges SFU to “foster a culture of inclusion and mutual respect, celebrating the diversity reflected among its students, faculty, staff and our community.” SFU is committed to ensuring no individual is denied access to employment opportunities for reasons unrelated to ability or qualifications. Consistent with this principle, SFU will advance the interests of underrepresented members of the work force, including Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, racialized persons and women; embrace gender and sexual diversity; ensure that equal opportunity is afforded to all who seek employment at the University; and treat all employees equitably. Candidates that belong to underrepresented groups are particularly encouraged to apply.

The position is subject to availability of funds and final approval by the SFU Board of Governors. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadian citizens and permanent residents will be given priority.
