Tangente is proud to kick start an innovative project in partnership with Desjardins Caisse de la Culture and KissKissBankBank aimed at supporting artists.

Artists included in Tangente’s next season, received a training session provided by Desjardins Caisse de la Culture and Nathalie Courville, Canadian ambassador of KissKissBankBank, and who is also an expert in communications and funding in the field of culture. Each one received in-depth training in personal funding for self-employed workers and cultural organizations and how to create and manage a fundraising campaign..

The artists are entirely responsible for the planning and the management of their own fundraising campaigns and Desjardins Caisse de la Culture augments the income earned from their campaign with an additional $500 as soon as the first $1000 is raised.

I am very excited to be experimenting with the gallery installation form which is new to me. I will be exploring how to mix dance and words, performance and a relational experience where each interaction has its own quality. Each time a gallery visitor visits an imagination station - the encounter interaction will be a mix of the viewer and the performer - no two interactions will be the same - each intervention is specific to the people who are present: audience member(s) and performer(s).

This Kiss Kiss bank Bank project will provide the necessary fees for each collaborator and minimal costs for miscellaneous items.

Collaborator fees:

These are my collaborators who have agreed to participate for 14 hours at a $25 per hour fee.

I will work with these collaborators in small groups to facilitate different game stations.

Each person will be present for both the workshopping and brainstorming.
