Acting Out, Claiming Space: Aboriginal Performance Art
Series in Kingston
When: Tuesday March 15 to Saturday March 19, 2011
Where: Various locations including Queen's University and
Modern Fuel Gallery, 21 Queen St in Kingston, ON
Admission: Free!

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.
Admission to all events is free.  The schedule of events is
