Spatial Poetics is an evening of experimental and collaborative performance by an eclectic line-up of Asian Canadian artists. In its sixth year, this interdisciplinary event celebrates collaboration and innovation in the use of text, visuals, music, and performance. Artists are encouraged to work beyond their suggested discipline, consider their location, and speak from multiple spaces/places, both new and revisited. The end result will be a diverse collection of new works by established artists and emerging artists, as well as an eclectic mix of video shorts. Contributing greatly to the Play Powell Street Festival theme, this edition of Spatial Poetics will allow artists to present their most creative works in a critically engaging, anything-goes environment.
Featured performances include Dressup, by Lydia Kwa, a psychologist and writer who published her latest novel, The Walking Boy, in 2005. Dressup is a photo-based series adapted to a performance piece that plays with play and ideas of how a woman relates to her own body as an object of others’ gaze. Lydia’s collaborator in this piece will be local composer/musicianJason Sims. Other pieces include a collaboration between musician Alcvin Ramos and artist tba, who will create work that bridges sound and space, and a piece by Blim directors Yuriko Iga and Noel Macul. Video shorts will be curated by Lynday Sung.
