Praxinoscope 4 | One of the Dozens | December 8, 2022
Beyond Baroque will host the fourth and final PerformX of 2022
Praxinoscope PerformX presents “One of the Dozens,” the fourth and final installment of our 2022 series on December 8, 2022 at Beyond Baroque Literary Art Center, Venice, California
Introduction
"One of the Dozens" is the title and theme for PerformX No. 4 — the final quarterly installment in our year-long experiment curating live group exhibitions.
For this event, we present duets, duels, and duos.
Twosome · Pas de Deux - Two-Person Scene - Doubles - Twins - Two-by-Two · Pair · Couple · - Counterpoint - Antagonists.
Two artists performing together -- each of whom engage in some type of back-and-forth interaction.
A performance could also consist of a Duet with One's Self -- an artist in dialogue with two different parts of The Self. We contain multitudes
Dancers. Poets. Musicians. Filmmakers. Songwriters. Actors. Playwrights. Performance Artists.
Why "The Dozens"? Our inspiration for Duets in public performance arises from "The Dozens."
The Dozens is a game played between two contestants in front of an audience in which the participants insult or one-up each other in boasts and brags until one of them gives up.
The name "The Dozens" refers to a tradition that arises mostly from African-American cultural traditions but has its analogues in many other cultures.
So, let's do it duet do it.
