Quiet Night # 1 is a tradition that started in Illinois and has now spread to many cities across the USA. The Temporary Frame hosts monthly editions of QUIET NIGHT VANCOUVER!
Quiet Night is an open-mic style house show where anyone can show up and present anything! There are only two rules for Quiet Night:
Performances must be QUIET
Performances should be under 10 minutes (so we can share the night with as many performers as possible!)
All types of performances and performers are welcome, as long as you can stay quiet! Sing a song, read a poem, perform a string quartet, dance a dance, perform a monologue, do a puppet show, tell a joke, dream a dream, and more!
Sunup sit (meditation) at 7:30 AM
Ambient morning coffee/tea ritual at 8:00 AM
Yoga w/ Joylyn at 9:00 AM
Shaking it loose and getting groovy w/ DJ Blume from 10:30 AM onward.

The Kids’ Castle Temporary Frames Live-In Installation
The Frame:
At 2655 Renfrew Street Vancouver, Canada, we (me and 6 other humans) are living in a tear-down house. So is everyone else on the block. We have a lease of 14+ months and then we will have to move. So will all the neighbours. All the houses on the street will be torn down and new developments will emerge.
What is happening in our cities is what is happening to ourselves. Investigation of collective and individual tension, surfing through the global real estate. Investigation of survival style, play score scripting. Investigation of experimental adaptation, of alteration.. How can we alter each other. Flexibility and Mobility, metamorphosis. We want to establish roots but we keep getting uprooted. Investigation of transplantation experiments. Investigation of temporary communities.
What we propose:
Let’s build a temporary time machine to visit eternity together… temporarily. Eternal impermanence. To find new legends, new stories, new myths, new art forms, new dances. Perhaps it is a rediscovery.
Our house is a space where we have liberty to paint walls, make noise, and be creative, since no other tenants will ever live here. It is a gift of space for us and one that we want to share with our community. We want to make our house and yard a community and artistic space. To use the house as a canvas. Or theatre. Or laboratory, studio, atelier, incubator, think tank, holodeck, portal, vortex, whirlpool, digester, hotbed, fermentor, startup, petri dish, wind tunnel, cloud chamber. To show other ways of living and inhabiting space. To explore what it is to embrace our ephemeral existence on, within, and around these walls that will soon crumble. Much like our short existences that will also drift off into a place other than here, a time other than now. Or will they?
To turn our soon-to-be-demolished 14-to-18-month house into a live-in-installation, we invite creators to come paint, attach, drill, stitch, and stick upon our walls, halls, roofs and ceilings. We invite fools, movers, sound makers, kids, community and the in-betweeners to come and animate our space.
Artist-In-Resident:
We are currently hosting artists to live with us. Our current Artist-In-Residenence is Tyrell Warren (Cortes Island).
Please join us at 6pm for an artist talk back, from Tyrell Warren (Cortis Island), Filiz Fuch (Austria) and Raj Gill (Vancouver). We are excited to share our space and show our work!
