DodoLab continues in Charlottetown, commissioned by the Confederation Centre. This iteration will include a full week of creative field research and three days of public activity involving a diverse team of students and professionals. Inspired by the Charlottetown’s Experimental Farm, this DodoLab has been designed to engage with a variety of issues including evolving ideas about farming and agriculture, public and common space, guerrilla and urban gardening and concepts of what is “green,” sustainable and “natural”. DodoLab will engage the public in playful creative exercises in order to investigate, document, and share ideas inspired by a particular local situation that has deep relevance nationally and internationally. Findings from this community-based project will be published on line and presented in the fall. DodoLab is an ongoign collaboration of RENDER and the Musagetes Foundation.

DodoLab Charlottetown will include the following core group:
Andrew Hunter and Barbara Hobot of RENDER, University of Waterloo www.render.uwaterloo.ca
Alice Angus and Giles Lane of Proboscis, London, UK www.proboscis.org.uk
Lisa Hirmer, Masters in Architecture, University of Waterloo
Laura Knapp, Masters in Architecture, University of Waterloo
The DodoLab team will be joined by students working with Dr. Shauna McCabe (Canada Research Chair in Critical Theory in the Interpretation of Culture and Director of CHARTS, the Centre for Humanities and Arts Research in Transdisciplinary Space, Mount Allison University) and staff from the Confederation Centre Art Gallery. DodoLab Charlottetown will also include contributions from Justin Langlois of  www.brokencitylab.org.

Schedule
The DodoLab team will be in Charlottetown from August 24-30 and will run public events from a “base-camp” at Confederation Square on August 27th and 28th, and at the Farmer’s Market on Saturday August 29th.

We are very pleased to announce that RENDER (through our new DodoLab inititiative) is now a formal partner with the Improvisation, Community, and Social Practice research project (ICASP) lead by Ajay Heble (Professor, School of English and Theatre Studies, University of Guelph and Artistic Director,  of The Guelph Jazz Festival). RENDER’s contribution to the ICASP project will involve our international partners Proboscis.

“ICASP plays a leading role in defining a new field of interdisciplinary inquiry. It brings together a dynamic international research team with a demonstrated track record in grant management and student training, and it fosters innovative partnerships with community-based organizations. Outcomes will range across a wide spectrum of electronic, broadcast, and print media, with a focus on policy-oriented and community-facing impacts. The project will have a significant effect on how research is done and how its results are implemented and disseminated, both within and beyond the academy. In addition to public discourse and scholarly publication, our work highlights collaboration with arts presenters, educators, and policy makers to ensure the broadest possible impact on Canadian society.” - www.improvcommunity.ca

The first installment of the DodoLab wrapped up yesterday at the 5th World Environmental Education Congress in Montreal. Please check out the DodoLab site to find out more about our antics.

RENDER is very pleased to be collaborating with the Musagetes Foundation on DodoLab, an experimental, creative research initiative to be launched at the 5th World Environmental Education Congress in Montreal this coming May 10-14. DodoLab will playfully and imaginatively engage with the congress participants through a series of related survey-based and participatory projects. The connected lab projects are designed to record and share participant’s ideas, to explore diverse approaches and cultural perspectives and to gage feelings and emotions at the conference and, by extension, in relation to our environmental challenges. The lab looks to share possibilities and perspectives, to explore alternative design methods and solutions, and to engage the WEEC community in creative participatory activities that will open alternative avenues of exchange, development and education. This multi-faceted lab will push an expanded view of the role of design and creativity that embraces social interaction through experimental, accessible and adaptable methodologies.

The various projects to be pursued are meant to have an active dynamic presence at the conference and to produce tangible content presentations (installations, video, publications, shareables) of use both during and beyond the conference and that will inspire future initiatives and collaborations. At heart, the DodoLab asks us to blur boundaries and cross barriers between communities, disciplines, cultures and generations. Furthermore, the lab hopes to inspire reflection on complex concepts of self, home, community and nation in relation to our current environmental challenges and, in particular, our ability to share knowledge and initiate, seed and spread meaningful responsive action.

Participating in the DodoLab in Montreal are a team of professional artists, designers and architects along with students.
