As in past editions, VIVA!’s activities will be documented through daily entries on the VIVA! blog, easily found on the homepage of the website. This year, the task has been entrusted the TouVA Collective (Sylvie Tourangeau, Victoria Stanton and Anne Bérubé), a group of artist-researchers interested in a profound exploration of “the performative” through workshops, dynamic artist talks and coaching to artists in a variety of contexts, including international festivals. Be sure to follow these daily reflections, a series of posts that will range from descriptive to poetic, and to contribute to the online discussions with your own feedback.
