In conjunction with the Queen’s Native Students Association’s Aboriginal Awareness Week, Modern Fuel Artist-Run Centre is proud to present the Acting Out, Claiming Space: Aboriginal Performance Art Series in Kingston from March 15 to March 19, 2011. Four nationally and internationally celebrated Aboriginal performance artists, Terrance Houle, Skeena Reece, Jordan Bennett and Tanya Lukin Linklater will come to Kingston to take part in the series curated by Daina Warren (Montana Cree) and Carla Taunton. The artists have been asked to consider strategies of acting-out and claiming space, and to engage with the question, what constitutes an “Indigenous space?” The artists will be performing new works and projects or ideas that are currently in development. This performance project centres around Indigenous cosmologies and the performance of stories and explores the way Indigenous peoples place themselves against chosen environments, whether it be home or reserve communities, urban spaces, traditional or spiritual realms, political or historical locales.
Terrence Houle will give a performance with live music. Meet at Modern Fuel.
