Laurence Beaudoin Morin

For a fraction of a second, falling and flying are confounded. Through risk, metaphor and the promise of getting up, Laurence Beaudoin Morin accepts falling as a process for self-making. In her performance sans titre (La chute n’est pas un événement mais un processus), fear and uncertainty evoke an empathetic connectivity between performer and audience.

Laurence Beaudoin Morin is an artist who works with action as a tool for gathering, and for exploring risk, the commons, and wastelands as sites for organizing. In her work, she initiates reflections on the practice of gathering by celebrating the complexity of its praxis. Based in Montréal, she is the founder of the auto-workshops project and a member of the Performance Art Studies (an independent research and training platform) team as a teacher and researcher. She holds a masters in Visual and Media arts from Université de Québec à Montréal (2019).

Camille Rojas

In Camille Rojas’ performance c(o)rporeal dissssonance, the body is in a state of flux between the cellular and the celluloid. A dancing figure and the images from a 16mm projector both stretch their limbs across space in an impossible attempt to become that which they are not.

Camille Rojas is a Toronto-based multidisciplinary artist working with film, photography and dance. Her work uses movement as the primary vehicle to dissect ideas and emotions. Recent interests include art economics, stock market drama, and computer vision science.
