Nuit Blanche Renegade Parade
SW Corner of Bloor and Avenue Road, Toronto, ON, Canada
PlanetEye Guide
presented by The Rothko Institute + Newmindspace + VelcroRocket + Nocturnal Commissions location: roaming; meet at Meet at the southwest corner of Avenue Rd. + Bloor St. W at 10:01 PM near the ROM Crystal. Bring a flask, wings, a brightly coloured flag and a Metropass. Last year, thousands of you followed our renegade white truck through the damp streets and dark alleyways of Toronto while the city pulsed with wonder beneath the larger-than-life art installations that make up Nuit Blanche. This year join us for an even bigger adventure with performances, deejays, a subterranean trip, and a touch of fire with the kind of wild abandon you should expect from us. We are seeking additional volunteers and artists to participate and contribute to this event. Any sort of contribution is welcome and you don’t need any particular skills. What we are looking for is anyone who wishes to pARTicipate. The only specific thing that we are looking for is volunteers to bring cupcakes. We are hoping to give away 1000 free cupcakes for no reason other than cupcakes are delicious. Facebook Event invite here. {LRDR editor’s note: yes, cupcakes ARE delicious}

Gone Indian
200 Bay Street, Toronto, ON, Canada
PlanetEye Guide
Rebecca Belmore - Vancouver, Canada Performance Art  Roaming the downtown district is the nomadic presence of an artistically rezzed-up pickup truck. Decked out in "traditional" pow-wow regalia, the truck features ongoing drumming and vocals, and a dancer that erupts into action at unsuspecting moments. For one evening, the rhythms and intonations of First Nations culture reverberate against office buildings and reterritorialize the financial district. Streets, plazas, and sidewalks become the impromptu grounds for the reclamation of land in a restorative performance for spectators of the present and past.   Choreography by Michael Greyeyes.     www.rebeccabelmore.com Suitable for all ages
