Two weeks ago in TORONTO!!

Now LPS studio is in Toronto Canada taking part in the International Performance Festival 7a11d.

The whole week will be filled with performances and talks.
LPS presents LILIT artist Duo with their new work Shiny Riot.

Shiny Riot
Friday, October 11, 7 pm
630 Queen Street East
7a11d – International Performance Art Festival

LILITH’s work revolves around universal human questions of love, longing, and sorrow, driven by the desire to enter the viewer’s consciousness as a disruption, with the hope of understanding what it means to be human. Their new work, Shiny Riot is a public interactive performance led by an 11-year-old girl.

The performance is kindly supported by the Swedish Arts Grants Committee & IASPIS

7a11d

The Toronto Performance Art Collective (TPAC) is a not-for-profit, artist-driven collective that curates and produces English Canada’s oldest ongoing biennial of performance art. In non-festival years collective members engage in a variety of other performance-based projects. 7a*11d was established in 1997 by a group of performance artists, collectives, and organizers, eager to develop a forum for performance art in Toronto.

Image 3: Artist Talk by the performance legend Tanya Mars  (this year’s 7a*11d Éminences Grises), in conversation with Shannon Cochrane (director of FADO Performance Art Centre and TPAC alumni). Mars will share anecdotes from her personal history as a key contributor to Canada’s artist-driven culture.

Tanya Mars is a feminist performance artist who has been actively involved in the Canadian art scene since 1973 doing many different things. She has lived and worked in Quebec, Ontario and Nova Scotia. Since the ’70s Mars’ work has focused on creating spectacular feminist imagery that places women at the centre of the narrative. Since the mid-’90s her performances have included endurance, durational and site-specific strategies. Her work is political, satirical and humorous. She has worked both independently and collaboratively to create both large-scale as well as intimate performances in Canada and internationally. Ironic to Iconic: The Performance Works of Tanya Mars, was published in 2008 by FADO, edited by Paul Couillard. She is the recipient of a 2008 Governor General’s Award in Visual and Media Arts.

Lilith Performance Studio has shown Tanya Mars in 2008, 2010 and 2012

What We Crave – What We Crave explores the magic of gathering. We celebrate coming together through experiments and rituals in embodied archival practices, emphasizing presence and sensory experience.
Together and separately, Jess Dobkin, Laurel Green, Joyce LeeAnn, and Shalon T. Webber-Heffernan have been contemplating, dreaming and scheming around the conjuring powers of memory, desire, and transformation.
