Series
Walk-and-Talk
 September–December 2024

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.

Performance
The Ribbon Cutting Ceremony: A Travelling Circus by Cason Sharpe
 September 21 & 22, 2024

Combining the civic rituals of the walking tour and the ribbon-cutting ceremony, this series of performances turns a neighbourhood stroll into a travelling circus, a spectacle through which we may catch a glimpse of an ever-changing city.

Artist
FADO SCENT #3 – ARTIST ORANGE

This, the third scent in the series, is the most important one of all: ARTIST ORANGE. Composed entirely of elements from the orange tree, this scent is the artist AND the art. ARTIST ORANGE performs itself.

How does it do that, you ask?
You wear it, silly (artist).

Land Acknowledgement

FADO Performance Art Centre acknowledges that as settlers, we are not the first to gather in this place where we currently operate, the location where you can find our office and the place where the vast majority of the performances we present are created, witnessed and enjoyed. This land, the place that we now refer to as ‘Toronto’ is the traditional and unceded territory of many First Nations and peoples including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples, living as they were in the North Part of Turtle Island.

Colophon

FADO identity and website designed and developed by I Know You Know. The rebranding process aimed for an "anti-identity" approach—as little design as possible, an empty frame for artists to fill. The guiding question soon became: How does the website itself “perform”? A clock counts time spent on the site; an oversized cursor highlights gesture and focus; a time machine panel refreshes and reframes the archive; a synesthesia of color and custom fragrances guides navigation.
