10.2.10 – Material World
10.2.10 Material World
Featuring three new works-in-progress by Scout Heckel, Juolin Lee, and Anna Lamontange
10.2.10 invites audiences in to the What Lab studio, be it by moonlight or sunlight. The three works are presented over one weekend at three different times of day:
Fri, Oct 7 – 10pm
Sat, Oct 8 – 2pm
Sun, Oct 9 – 10am
exploring how time affects the relationship of the viewer and the performer. What energy does the room hold late at night vs early in the morning? Does the sunlight awaken our senses, or blind them?
This iteration of 10.2.10 is all about stuff. Each artist is living in the Material World, with work that intersects bodies with physical objects. It’s an experience of non-human collaborations, revealing the emotions of metals, the movement of plastics, and the depth of cardboard.
Untitled
BY SCOUT HECKEL
This is about objects. This is about their sounds. This is about thawing after a long winter. This is not about my body.
I can’t yet tell you exactly what this is (because I don’t know). But I can tell you that I held a ladder in a sincere embrace and wiped the steam off of a mirror with my naked chest. I ran the wheel of a wheelbarrow up and down my ass crack. I ate a packing peanut, twice. When you watch, I hope that you see none of this and all of this at once. When you watch, everything you see is the right thing to see – and I do hope you see something.
Conceived and Orchestrated by Scout Heckel. Special thanks to Tamar Tabori.
Luna
BY Juolin Lee
When life gets intense and overwhelming, my mind wonders as I try to accomplish my mundane, everyday tasks. In Luna my wonders take me through different portals as I wait for my rice to get ready.
Created and performed by Juolin Lee.
Special thank you to Allie Shiff, Kate Franklin, Samantha Krystal, Nicole Pavia, Jarin Schexnider and Anne Cheng.
throw me for a loop (working title)
BY Anna Lamontagne
What possibilities are unlocked in my body when I allow myself to be silly and playful? Perhaps even juvenile? (No final answers, but I’m asking.)
Also, no loud chewers allowed.
Created by Anna Lamontagne and collaborators.

Accessibility Info
What Lab is located at 1814 Pandora Street. There is no dedicated parking, only street parking. The venue is located on the second floor up one flight of stairs, but there is a ground level accessible entrance through the back of the building. Seating is typically informal, and will include some combination of chairs, floor seating, couches, and cushions. There is one single-occupancy, gender-inclusive washroom. The washroom is not big enough for larger style wheelchairs to completely turn around in while the door is open. We are a trans-inclusive space.
