CCCA PROJECTS : Artist Groups and Art Organizations FADO Performance Inc. Fado Performance Inc. is a non-profit artist-run centre for performance art based in Toronto, Canada. It began in 1993 as a non-profit collective of performance artists. The organization was officially incorporated as an artist-run centre in January 2001 under the care of founder Paul Couillard. The collective was established to provide a stable, ongoing, supportive forum for creating and presenting performance art. Fado defines performance in relation to the root elements of the medium -- time, space, the performer's body and the relationship between performer and audience, and is most interested in works that are innovative in their use of one or more of these elements, including those that are multi-disciplinary. Presentation space is secured on a project-by-project basis, depending on the needs of the individual project. The collective’s activities include presenting performances, artist talks, festivals, residencies, exchanges and workshops, as well as publishing in a variety of formats, including video. They offer audiences new approaches to observing and participating in performance art events, often animating and contextualizing events through publications and talks.
