there seemed to me to be one enormous elephant in the room. It was pointed out –

“Coal is the brain of Mother Earth,” said an elder from the
peoples of Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. He addressed the audience as Little
Brothers – and his people have had a long track record of being the Elder
Brothers, predicting coming natural events through living in harmony with their
mountains, and reading the minute changes.<o:p></o:p></div>

But the changes are no longer minute. Climate change –
probably the most enormous calamity our species has ever faced – is on its way.
And, as in Canada, it is the Native population who seems to be paying it the
attention it deserves. <o:p></o:p><br />

What was remarkable for me was that here were three South
American native leaders – from nations I knew nothing about – who were asked to
speak of their culture and art. What they all chose to say, speaking with
generosity, and authority, is that our culture and our art are tied to
nature, and nature is not well. THAT’S what is now important.<o:p></o:p></div>

What struck me as odd, listening to these men, is that the
world’s artists (with some notable exceptions), are not yet up to speed on this
file. And yet our role will be important, as it always has been in processing upheaval
(as evidenced here vis a vis the violence in Colombia and as evidenced
throughout history in times of war, disaster or disturbance). But we need to
heed the warnings of elders such as these.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Where there is no respect for others, there is death”. Says
an elder from the Wayuu people. “How can we reach well being if we are spending
resources from our Mother Earth for war?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He speaks of the current state of his homeland: “We are
hungry. We are thirsty. And our animals are dying. The plants are sad. The
plants are desolated. Birds are sad. Even stones are sad.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Another elder, from a different nation, says, “Wherever you
are, give back to mother earth what you have received. Prepare a world for
those who will be here after.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the end, this was what I learned in Bogota. That massive
change is coming. That it may very well render even the stones sad. And that
artists, undisciplined, caring, dedicated, asking for your time and your presence
–such artists can help.<o:p></o:p></div>

Teatro Colon: an enormous renovation project of an old and beautiful stacked balcony building. It is being run by a man I coincidentally met while traveling in Iran a few years ago: Manuel José Alvarez. The theatre is gorgeous – a pristine example of the colonial past. The plans for the building include accessibility for the poor. The ticket prices for the top balcony will be low and all shows will be live-streamed to a new complex in a poor neighbourhood, with tickets there being about one dollar.</div>

La Candelaria: the historic home of resistance and experiment. This is a famous theatre within the Colombian context for original and political work. It has survived for years by being, as one of the founders said, like bamboo: able to bend, but never losing its footing. The building is wonderful – an open-air courtyard with a garden and seating in the centre, a small canteen with coffee, food and beer, and a theatre that sits about 200. Perfect.<o:p></o:p></div>

3) Mapa Teatro </h3>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
This is the home of one of the most thrilling experimental companies in Colombia. It was founded in France, in 1984 by Heidi and Rolf Abderhalden. The company was moved to Bogota in 1986. Since 2000, they have been based in an old house in the centre of Bogota. It's a <a href="http://www.mapateatro.org/laboratorioing.html">terrific space</a> - old colonial architecture with with a two level central courtyard. The upper level is occupied by artist studios. The lower level is a cafe, and a small theatre that serves as a laboratory for the company. It's gorgeous.</div>

All three, in different ways, took leaps from the understandable into a terrain that was at once puzzling, compelling, and impossible to process with simple logic. As such, they remain vivid in memory. </div>

<h3>
1) Medea</h3>
<h3>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Medea had a white-painted man on stage throughout, occasionally wearing an large powdered white wig, occasionally a horse’s head, and always a corset. He/she/it was sometimes acknowledged, and most often not. This figure was a riveting presence of something “other” or “not of the world” in the midst of the tragedy - God, Fate, the Chorus, the Banal - all in one. Mysterious and perfect for the world of Greek theatre.</span></h3>

2) Solos</h3>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
In Solos, Wajdi Mouawad travelled inside the mind of a coma victim, without, at first, the audience (or the victim) realizing that this is what was happening. Once inside a human mind, all the rules of the stage changed – and a kind of pure creativity/imagination became possible – one that had no linguisitic component, and one – like a dream I suppose – that was no longer understandable in any empirical way, but somehow seemed essentially human. </div>

<h3>
3) Los Incontados</h3>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">In Los Incontados (The Uncounted), the entire show was imagistic, impressionisitic and chaotic – a series of virtuosic tableaux of violence and the impact of drugs on Colombia from the 1960s to the present – with a cast of characters that included children, rappers, calypso musicians, corpses in clown masks, showgirls and magicians. It was a trip like no other I’ve experienced, and it operated on me in a way that was intense and indefinable.</span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
And that’s the commonality I noticed – all of these artists were able to craft a stage language that was intense and indefinable. It reminds me of the American visual artist Robert Rauschenberg’s assertion that as soon as he understands something, he becomes bored with it, and looks to move on. “I’d rather accept the irresistible possibilities of what I can’t ignore,” he said. Something that can’t be ignored, can’t be understood and dismissed, something that sticks in the mind, like the thin edge of a wedge – this is something all three of these shows managed. This is a language of the imagination worth pursuing.</div>

<h3>
<b>The Undisciplined Artist</b></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
One panel gathered together three luminaries of international theatre – one from Bogota (Rolf Abderhalden, co-founder of Bogota’s leading experimental group, Mapa Teatro); one from Mexico (Eduardo Bernal, from Teatro Línea de Sombra), and one from Germany (the famous composer, Heiner Goebbels).</div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Rolf – who directed one of the most hauntingly exquisite shows I saw here (Los Incontados - described above) speaks of the artist’s uneasy relationship with labels. “I believe the artist is undisciplined.” He speaks of the importance of protecting this undisciplined nature – of the dangers of commodification of art through labels such as “cross disciplinary work”. “The artist crosses borders in response to some force,” he asserts. Not because a genre has been named.<o:p></o:p></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Heiner Goebbels extends this idea. Institutions are not the way forward, he says. The artist, the imagination is. “In the gap between what you know and what you don’t know yet – that’s the space for the imagination”.<o:p></o:p></div>

He also quotes his friend Heiner Müller: “If you’re happy with the world as it is, you don’t need theatre.”<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>Fundraising for Artists: We Ask for Your Presence, We ask For Your Time</b></h3>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Early one morning, I attend a breakfast meeting with an entrepreneur from Mexico who is developing a new online platform for Arts Fundraising.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
He speaks of the dilemma of paying for Art, when Art is not a good like other goods. What is important in Art, he says, is different. “We ask for you presence, not your money – your time, not your money” This is what art needs to be art. Money is not the point.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
But money, he acknowledges, is necessary. So he is developing a new paradigm for arts funding. He calls it the “opposite to a credit card”. This platform – about to be beta tested in Mexico – is called “Freak Fund”. It invites you, the audience, to invest a present good (your money) towards a future product (a work of art). The system will have two front ends – one for producers who have a product (a show in development, for example) to interact with the Freak Fund people, and one for these same producers to interact with the public.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
It will work like this: you – a member of the public – buy an “investment ticket” for a show that doesn’t exist yet. The project gathers this money early (like a subscription sale), and can use it. The investor will be incentivized to invite others to invest – so s/he is no longer a simple consumer. When the show is eventually made, the investor can go see it using her/his ticket. Of course – there are many more aspects to it than this – hence the beta test and the elaborate platform – but the principle is to combine something like crowd-funding with advanced sales. I’ll be curious to see how this works out.</div>

These are words I heard over and over from Colombian
artists. The idea that one of the main functions of theatre, of culture in general in a time of
extremity, upheaval, persecution or violence, is to remember who you are, what
is possible, and to resist the loss of identity, the loss of possibility. <o:p></o:p></div>

The conference (ISPA Bogota) began with a speaker stating that “the
performing arts have a political meaning”. I doubt a Canadian theatre
conference would begin with this sentiment. She then went on to say that art
generates collective memory, and that it is in the environment of art where we
understand one another. And that - along with a rocking musical tribute to Colombia from Carlos Vives - began the ISPA 2014 Bogota congress.</div>

With respect to memory and resitance, I hear an
artist/speaker from the Palenke people (descendents of escaped slaves in
southern Colombia) speak of their dances and songs as cultural resistance. I hear a rapper from the streets of Medallin speak of the crew
and then the school he started to teach kids streetdance and rap, to give them
an alternative to drugs and death. “Shed the skin that makes us fearful to
become warriors, warriors in art”, he said. His crew, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDgVWKsS0qY">Crew Peligrosos</a>, is famous and ultra-cool.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I hear a founder of the most famous political theatre in
Bogota – La Candelaria – speak of the most effective resistance being like bamboo,
moveable and rooted. I hear another rapper - El Poeta - whose catalogue of loss was
enormous – speak of bamboo, as well. But this time he used the metaphor to
express the idea of perseverance despite loss: “A bamboo plant takes 80 years
to develop deep roots, but once rooted, it takes only 2 years to grow as high
as a building”. He was simply called “The Poet”. He free-styled at his panel,
and the audience went wild. <o:p></o:p></div>

<h3>
Feeling Through Music</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I listen to a violinist who is a product of classical music
schools embedded in poor neighbourhoods throughout Colombia. He said he never
smiled before music (his childhood was horrific), but thanks to music, “I
learned to experience my feelings”. This awakened a desire in him to bring
happiness to others with the music he now plays. He played for us, and smiled.<o:p></o:p></div>

<o:p>The Youth Orchestra of Afghanistan</o:p></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
I listen to a man from Afghanistan who founded <a href="http://www.afghanistannationalinstituteofmusic.org/afghan-youth-orchestra-ayo">a youth orchestra in Kabul</a>. This orchestra teaches listening, he said, and the
importance of working together. Beyond this teaching, in Kabul, 50% of
enrolment in the youth orchestra is reserved for orphans. Girls are enrolled.
The student association is chosen through elections – so democracy-training is
part of the process. And this orchestra was the first to play music (which was
banned by the Taliban), in the presidential palace in 30 years.<o:p></o:p></div>

<h3>
Circuses, Orchestras and Theatres: Reconstructing Life</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I listen to a woman who co-founded a circus school in
Colombia - <a href="http://www.urbancircolombia.com/">Circolombia</a>. I listen to a woman who turned an old bordello into an arts centre
in Medellin. I listen to a man in Sao Paolo, Brazil, who founded a series of
classical music schools which now has over 15,000 students, and that partners
with institutions like Juilliard, the Sage Gateshead and others in Paris and
Berlin. I hear about a company in Rome that works with refugees and vicitms of
torture – that uses theatre to help them reconstruct meaningful lives. “Theatre is an efficient direct
instrument for pscho-social reintegration”, she said.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h3>
<o:p>The Circus Doesn't Give, it Demands...</o:p></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p><br /></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Felicity, the woman from Circolombia, says that circus doesn’t
give, it demands – and therein lies its value. Students learn the importance of
solidarity and collaboration. As evidence, I hear from an acrobat who found a
life in the circus and an astonishing set of skills (we watched a video of his
acrobatics on an elastic tightrope - impressive). <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h3>
The Right to Exist</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Why does art work to rescue? To reintegrate? How do the
downtrodden find their way into Art? This question is asked by a German
moderator. “The stage is a very special place,” says one artist. “There is
power in the autonomous voice one finds on the stage”. “Belonging,” says another.
“The moment when a person feels the right to exist,” says the woman who works
with torture victims, “The moment they feel the pleasure of doing things, this is
powerful”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Powerful. Inspiring. Enormous. Art as the necessary angel of
fractured societies (to borrow from Wallace Stephens, and a renowned Toronto
theatre company!).<o:p></o:p></div>

So I went to Bogota. April 2014. I was there for two reasons: to attend
a meeting of the International Society of the Performing Arts (ISPA), and to
see shows at the largest curated theatre festival on earth: <a href="http://festivaldeteatro.com.co/programacion/">The Festival Iberoamericano de Teatro de Bogota</a>.<o:p></o:p></div>

What I came away with was an entirely new way of looking at Colombia, and at the possibilities of theatre. It was a good trip. Here are some of the highlights:</div>

Around 8 million people live in Bogota. In the 80s and 90s
it was a shockingly violent and extremely dangerous place. Now it is one of the
safest, most functional cities in South America. It is high up – almost 3
thousand metres above sea level (I had altitude sickness for the first two
days). It is bordered on its eastern edge by green mountains visible from
everywhere in the city. Its city centre is full of beguiling narrow streets, lush
smells and Spanish colonial architecture. The city sprawls south and west into
poorer districts, and north into wealth. There are a plethora of tiny cafes and
restos and astonishing food in the centre. The city is full of theatres – large
and small. It is the capital of a diverse country with two coasts (Pacific and
Caribbean), and many peoples who trace roots to many places: European, African
and Indigenous, the latter cohort containing 64 different Native languages. The
famous violence and the famous drug trade are not gone, but certainly now
less-obvious to the tourist. Much of the art-making I heard about contends with
these issues of diversity, history and violence. Art makers are very aware of memory, and how art plays a role in constructing and interpreting memory.<o:p></o:p><br />
