for the First Latinamerican
Performance Art Meeting
Perfo  Puerto  01

March 11-19, Chile.



"Perfo Puerto 01", is a week-long performance art event at the port of
Valparaiso, Chile, with satellite events in Santiago.
The event includes conferences, video screenings of performance
documentation, round tables and a vast array of performances from
artists including:


Lorena Wolffer(Mexico), Grupo Fosa(Argentina), Sandra Ceballos(Cuba),
Maricruz Peñaloza(Switzerland), Angel Pastor(Spain), Alexander Del Re
(Chile) and many more.



As part of the event, "Perfo Puerto 01" will feature also some open
sections, "Abierto", "Satelite" and "Video Show", for latinamerican
artists or artists of latin descent living everywhere. If you're not of
latin descent, you can collaborate with one, or you can get involved in
any kind of relationship with some latin american and develop a
collaboration, etc. Find your own way. Come on, play our game!
Spanish language is the official language of the event.
The specific Calls are as follows:
1. "Abierto": a call for "real" performances to be presented live in
March 15-16 at Ex-Carcel of Valparaiso, Chile. All travel expenses must
be paid by the artists themselves, though accomodations are to be
arranged by the organizers.
2. "Satelite": a call for "virtual" performances to be presented in
March 12-13 in Santiago, or March 15-16 in Valparaiso. The idea of
"virtual" is as open as what is on your mind: the performance can take
place in the internet( you performing in front of a webcam, by using
e-mails, live chat, etc.), the performance can be a project for a random

person as performer, etc. Be as creative as you wish.
3. "Video Show": a call for videos of performance art to be screened
throughout the event. The videos can be performance documentations,
performance for the camera, unedited video performances, all other
