Josh Hite
Sessional Instructor: Theatre Performance
Josh Hite works with video, animation, sound, and photography, often creating reorganized archives of particular spaces or behaviours, either through his own recordings or by appropriating content through sites like YouTube. Leaning more on an ethnography that acknowledges content as a driving force, his practice considers tactics for documentation as a determinant of eventual form, rather than using art historical or cultural references as structural assistants. Projects tend to query relationships between an experience and its location, the power dynamics at play, and the ways in which transitions and sequencing propel us through time.
Aryo Khakpour
Sessional Instructor: Theatre Performance
I am a multidisciplinary performer, director and dramaturg.
I hold a BFA in Theatre Performance from Simon Fraser University; and have been involved in multiple theatre, dance, video, and film productions in Vancouver. I cofounded The Biting School, which has been presented at The Firehall Arts Centre, The Dance Centre, Dance Days Victoria, Dancing on the Edge Festival, Dance in Vancouver, Vancouver International Dance Festival, PuSh International Festival, and Montreal Arts Interculturels.
In my work, I explore the dynamics of power, implications of ideologies, repetition of mythologies, and cultural adaptation. I am a feminist. I interrogate the patriarchy and its harmful effects on people. My practice is heavily physical and surrealistic; it deals with pain and pleasure; it is sex-positive; and it aims to queer the status quo. I was trained in devised practices of non-hierarchical collective creations. That is my favourite way of creating.
