–AND (2021)

FADO presents two new works by Erika DeFreitas context of –AND (2021), curated and organized by Christof Migone.

Each year the event moves through each word of the 12-word phrase “you and I are water earth fire air of life and death” and activates the word of the year in a myriad of ways. This year the word is ‘and’, consequently the focus is on repetitions, conjunctions, and duos.

Vivência Poética curated by Erika DeFreitas

The curatorial premise of this project required an emerging and an established performance artist to collaborate jointly, and in turn with participants within the space in which they work/present.

Five Holes: Listen!

Five Holes: Listen! presents five unique performance ‘maneuvers’ dealing with the sense of hearing. Five Holes: Listen! is the fourth offering in the multi-year Five Holes performance series.

Gestures curated by Tanya Mars

Reflecting a range of strategies and approaches to performance, this event introduces a fresh, vibrant, and diverse group of local and regional performance artists to Toronto audiences.

Emerging Artists

Initiated in 2003 by Tanya Mars, FADO’s Emerging Artists Series was created to provide an on-going professional venue for emerging artists from Toronto and beyond to develop and present a performance piece, working within a curatorial framework set out by an emerging curator.

Five Holes

Five Holes provides artists and audiences with an opportunity to test their senses as they are now, informed by both history and imagination.
