The Calendar Project: A year-long, site-specific performance series created by Tedi Tafel
Calendar is a year-long, in situ performance series starting in January 2010 comprised of 12 events – one a month for the entire year. The series draws its inspiration from the seasonal shifts and cycles of the natural world. Each event is closely tied to the time of year in which it will be presented. Calendar takes a variety of forms from the discrete to the elaborate, and will be shown in a diverse array of spaces in Montreal including an industrial warehouse, a backyard garden and an alleyway.
Events vary in length lasting anywhere from mere minutes to several hours occurring at different times of the day. All events are free. calendarproject.ca will be updated and disseminated monthly announcing future events and documenting past ones through images, text and sound.
WHEN: . . . . . January 21-23 between 6 and 9 p.m.

January
we enter this wintery space and are stilled
a time of no time, of shadow, hibernation, dream and memory
life is underground, slowed right down
images emerge out of the cold, at times only barely perceptible and light reaches through the darkness
(Tedi Tafel)
This collaborative performance takes the form of a moving installation blending dance, sound, light and video projections. The work will be shown for 3 hours. The public is invited to come and go as they please and to move around the space as they wish. Admission is free.
