2004 • 5th 7a*11d Festival
7a*11d is a renewable collective of artists who first came together in January 1997 to investigate how our mutual interest in performance art might manifest itself. By August 1997, 13 artists had produced the first 7a*11d International festival of Performance Art, bringing together almost 60 artists from across Canad,a the US and Australia. Since then we have produced numerous events and developed the festival into a biennial event. We are committed to establishing a longer-term presence in Toronto for performance art. Our concept of what a festival is, and what its format should be continually evolves to respond to what we feel are the most pressing interests of the field and its audiences.
Welcome to our 5th festival, featuring a full slate of Improvisors, Infiltrators, Conceptualists, Peacemakers, Trouble Takers, Noise Makers, Disseminators, Activators, Cogitators, a Motivator, plus a little Butter, Powder and Sugar…
