My beautiful and brilliant friends Elle Mehrmand and Micha Cardenas are in Toronto  facialliatating an amazing workshop at The Liason of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto (LIFT). Workshop attendees will have the option of working with the artists to develop performances pieces of their own.  I’ve admired Elle and Micha’s performance art for a long time and this workshop is sure to be amazing. Please don’t miss them while they are in Toronto!

September 26th-28th

6pm – 10 pm, Monday to Wednesday.

Participants will create wearable electronics using the lilypad arduino, sensors, and sound. The workshop will consist of three days including performance, Puredata (Pd-extended) and open source electronics. Elle Mehrmand and Micha Cárdenas will share their experiences developing perfor…mance art using these tools. Participants will work towards developing a performance piece of their own/collaboration, and will have an opportunity for performing at the end of the workshop, if they choose to do so. To develop the performances the workshop will entail performance exercises inspired by Theater of the Oppressed, La Pocha Nostra and physical improvisation.
