Tinderbox Series
The curatorial focus of the Tinderbox Series is on presenting a stimulating, creative and diverse series of experimental work including but not limited to performance art, film, video, new music, sound art, movement, collaborative and interdisciplinary work.

Jasmin Schaitl and William “Bilwa” Costa
collaboration #18 is a task-based movement score, that focuses on expansion and contraction.
collaboration #18 is part of an ongoing series of site – relative performances which address the physical relationship between two artists, while exploring the correlation between, and potentials of: proximity – distance, transformation – alteration, tempo – stillness, duration – ephemerality, and duality – unison. Using limited materials, each performance focuses on simultaneous actions, and the point where these actions phase, oscillate, and/or conjoin. These actions are repetitive, consistent, clear, precise, thorough and definite. Without narrative, they leave the audience time to assess the actions and interpret or propose her/his own meaning, content and thoughts. The remnants of these performances are intentional, and often remain as visual art installations.

Bryana Siobhan
The artist will traverse a 2’x6’x12” plaster beam while carrying one large or several small ceramic greenware vases filled with a mixture of salt and charcoal. As the charcoal/salt mixture break down their containers, the mixture will bleed not only onto the performer but also onto the beam she travels across. The performer will create the mixture during the performance with the help of the volunteer. A volunteer will be standing 8 feet away reading a pre-determined passage as the performer anoints the beam before crossing it. The volunteer will then be on standby for assistance.
