Threshold is a research project that invites three emerging local artists to make an outdoor performance on a public staircase in Toronto.
Questions are asked, methods chosen, and outcomes are not guaranteed. Results vary—from podcasts to public performance experiments, and everything in between.
The 2025 Emerging Artists Series LABists are: Christina Anna Trutriak, James Knott and Vanessa Godden.
Inspired by the Buddhist koan, “not knowing is the most intimate,” the series embraces the uncertainty of our contemporary emotional landscapes, inviting both artists and audiences to move into the discomfort of uncharted waters.
In FADO’s newest series, we highlight and investigate two foundational gestures of the performance art vocabulary—walking, talking—through performances and discursive interventions that explore their intrinsic mutual imbrication.
Walk with us.
