Curator, 2014–2015

Benjamin Kamino is a dancer and dance-curator. He is a co-founder of do what you can, an online resource for artists based in Montreal [dwyc.ca] and maintains member participation in Interferencias, an international encounter devoted to research on performance and collaboration [http://interferencias.info]. Kamino continues to make and perform dance work, mostly outside of Toronto where he works as curator at Dancemakers Centre for Creation. Active touring works include a solo-dance, Nudity. Desire, and a group work, m/Other + dark meaningless touch.  Less these days, yet still integrally valuable to his artistic practice, Kamino maintains his currency as a dancer by engaging in contracts with independent choreographers and dance companies, most recent his dance work has been in collaboration with visual artist Virgil Baruchal, and visual artist Travis Clarke.
