Woodley and many more to be announced, so stay tuned (on the web, in the underground or over the ether).

POWER DOWN & POWER UP PERFORMANCES A series of performances called Power Down will be taking place throughout the month in which the Drake Hotel will unexpectedly turn off the music in the restaurant, cafe or other locations and transform itself into an Avant Garde Irish Pub with singers, acoustic musicians, and battery powered radio artists curated and directed by John Oswald. Hang around the Drake and re-live the unexpected perks of the 2003 blackout! Kathy Kennedy will be the Drake artist-in-residence for the month of May and will be leading a series of Power Up performances in which she will apply her skills in sonic choreography and public guerilla sound art to the Toronto urban soundscape with transmission arts performances in parks, street corners, and other sites of dense concentration of Torontonians.
