LEGS is a series of relay performance events launched in Montreal in 2015, marked by a challenge to traditional curatorial and funding models. The goal of LEGS is to provide freedom and flexibility within a performative container. Its founders aimed to create a non-hierarchical, independent, and adaptable event that's open to everyone, regardless of their experience or artistic style. In 2015, over 50 participants took turns performing nonstop for 9 straight hours, with each performance lasting around 10 minutes. The event was a huge success.

​

ORGANIZING YOUR OWN LEGS

In keeping with its founding principles, a "LEGS score" has been produced so that anyone who has already participated can initiate their own LEGS. To date, LEGS has been held in Basel, Chicoutimi, Giswil, Montreal, Olten, Rimouski, Toronto, and Zurich.

 

LEGS SCORE 

The project consists of a day of "relay" performances. That is, a single, continuous performance featuring performers primarily from the region. The idea is to create a series of uninterrupted performances. In other words, an endless performance that unites the broader community of performers.

LEGS is an event that blurs the concept of "emerging," "mid-career," or "established" artists and aims to shape, even if only ephemerally, the exchange and collaboration between performers, artists, and individuals of all generations and experiences.
