» ‎ Contemporary Performance - Opportunities

Opportunity: Online course “New Technologies for Performance Art” Where: online When: November 30-December 21st, 2020; Mondays, 6-8pm CET Deadline: November 29th, 2020 Online Application: Enroll online at: [https:] Fee to Participate or Apply: EUR 175 Description Of Opportunity: “New Technologies for Performance Art” – Online Course at ECC Performance Art With Francesca Albrezzi This course is devoted to one of the most pertinent cultural trends of the present – immersion and its technologies – and its impact on the creation, reception, exhibition, and collection of performance art. Students are introduced to new immersive technologies available to performance artists, curators, and scholars, such as virtual reality, augmented reality and 360 photo and video capture. In addition, the course addresses central conceptual and ideological questions such as: What does the turn to the immersive mean for us? Why is it happening? Who benefits? Who doesn’t? How is it changing the way we create, share, and preserve art and culture? The histories of art, photography, and film for useful comparisons for what is being experienced in the present with the rapid development and assimilation of digital applications. Reality, after the surrealist twenties, could never again be seen as simple or continuous, describable empirically or through induction. As once science fictions now become scientific realities, and as the virtual inches closer to becoming indistinguishable from the actual, how do we understand the changing dynamics between new technology and human understanding? This class brings together a set of resources that will illuminate the friction of that combination in powerful ways. Students will not only learn about historical techniques of immersion but will be expected to think critically and reflect on their own relationships with technology – not judging it as good or bad, but as a complex exchange that is worthy of time and thought.

» ‎ Contemporary Performance - Opportunities

Opportunity: Choreographic Convention V: Movement Research, Sofia Where: Goethe Institut-Bulgaria / Online When: 10th and 11th of October 2020 Deadline: None Online Application: None Fee to Participate or Apply: None Description Of Opportunity: Choreographic Convention V: Movement Research, Sofia October 10 – 11, 2020 at 11 AM – 5 PM UTC+03 As a part of the “Choreographic Convention” Programme of the project “Life Long Burning – Towards a Sustainable Ecosystem of Contemporary Dance in Europe” Curated by Iva Sveshtarova, Angelina Georgieva, Willy Prager, Stephan A. Shtereff Ever since its introduction into dance-making by the pioneers of modern dance, and especially since experimental dance collectives turned improvisation into an artistic practice in the United States in the 1970’s, movement research has generally been understood as a process of finding and generating movement material beyond existing dance vocabulary. Movement is differentiated as an essential materiality of dance, and research takes place in the body of the dancer. The body experiments with kinetic potential or appropriates movements from different spheres of life, on the basis of which it develops movement language. But movement research also operates on a much broader level, which we can only briefly outline here. Contemporary choreography has complicated the attitude that the body and movement are the main means of expression in dance. They have been subjected to radical deconstruction, examining their culturally assigned meanings. The notion of choreography as an expanded practice has largely emancipated itself from dance and has become increasingly interested not in the individual expressiveness of the body and movement and in shaping them through various techniques, but in the relations they create with other bodies and objects in multi-layered aesthetically organized situations, as well as in their socio-political significance. Digital and dance artists have incorporated new technologies as a creative and research tool that expand the notions of bodily boundaries. Various software programs make it possible to capture, analyse and reconfigure movement in any environment – physical, virtual, visual or acoustic… The growing interest in the history of dance in recent decades has raised questions of the possibilities for archiving, researching and reconstructing the kinetic knowledge of the past. The Choreographic Convention: “Movement Research” offers a space for dialogue and reflection on new perspectives and approaches to movement research. Over the course of two days, through talks, presentations, conversations with artists and theoretical discussions, the meeting will focus on the following main topics: movement research as an artistic practice, as a form of work with dance archives and its interactions with new technologies and in social movements and contexts. The meeting will be accompanied by an artistic programme with performances related to these topics. How To Apply: The International Choreographic Convention will be held live, in compliance with all anti-epidemic measures and will be broadcast online on the Antistatic International Festival for Contemporary Dance and Performance’s Facebook page (@antistatic.international.festival), where no registration is needed. Due to the anti-epidemic measures, the seats in the hall are a limited number that is why a pre-registration via e-mail at antistaticfest@gmail.com is mandatory. Free entrance. The working language will be English. * Please be aware that the programme may be altered in occasion of unexpected changes in anti-epidemic measures.

Opportunity: the Incurable Caravan’s Online Car Show Where: Online (Virginia, USA-based) When: May 2020 Deadline: December 1st, 2020 Online Application: [https:] Fee to Participate or Apply: 0 Description Of Opportunity: About The Incurable Caravan’s Online Car Show is an indefinite online exhibit. All works accepted should expect to be a single element on a larger, scrolling page. The Car Show seeks to intersect traditional, popular, experimental, and outsider styles with an enthusiasm towards all approaches to art-making. We welcome all interpretations of media and automotive transportation. Guidelines Works submitted should include, allude to, or represent some elements of a car (doors, windows, wheels, engines, memories, etc.), but how you choose to present these elements is up to you. Not all internal spaces with windows are cars, and not all cars have doors. Your car can be literal, abstract, heartfelt, playful, technical, emotional, or all of the above, to any degree of detail. Any media capable of existing online is encouraged, especially media that are normally challenging to program or format in other contexts. This includes: literary: poetry, short prose (< 1000 words), haiku, interviews, interactive fiction static visual: all traditional visual media: drawing, painting, photography, graphic/product design. For sculpture, 3D photoscans or multiple photos are acceptable. moving visual: short film (< 3m), silent animations (gif/mp4), filmed choreography 3D: any 3D model or scene below 50k polygons audio: short pieces or songs (< 3m, loopable or not), interactive web audio, original sound design haikus (< 10s) multimedia: any combination of the above web: any self-contained webapps, games, data viz, generative art, net art, or CSS/SVG/Canvas animations, size restrictions TBD Proposals for categories not included in this list and works-in-progress are allowed, as long as evidence of progress can be demonstrated on submission. Older works are also allowed, as long as they relate to a car in some form. Formatting The works included in the Car Show will be assembled as a single, scrolling page. We will make a best effort to format everything in a way that respects individual artistic visions, while also taking into account the data limits of viewers around the globe. This means: Media (images, audio, video) used in the Car Show may be compressed and resized smaller than the original sources sent in your submission. We will balance image/audio quality vs file size and maintain aspect ratios. Works that depend on extremely large file sizes might not work as well in this context. Poetry and prose (or other text-based media) will be included as text rather than images if possible. We are able to reflect your original formatting (including whitespace, font weights/sizes/families, colored text censoring) if desired, and will make a best effort to do so. Works that require a large number of different fonts or unique text effects may be displayed as SVG instead. Caveat: the Car Show will not be able to pay for web fonts that require licensing. Non-standard media (3D objects, data viz, JS canvas art, etc) may be displayed with relevant Javascript libraries rather than as images. We’ll work with selected artists to find good solutions for these works. Hosting The Car Show will host the works submitted for as long as possible. We will make a best effort to keep a consistent domain name, but a backup/redirect will always exist on the hosting artist’s webpage (Becky Brown). Artists selected will be sent both links when the Car Show is released. Files hosted by the Car Show are only intended for the exhibition webpage. Artists selected must agree to refrain from using the Car Show’s hosted media files of their works as personal hosting. If displaying your work requires hosting outside our own (due to file sizes or using embedded services), we will not be able to pay for those services. Agreements All work remains your own. We do not require submitted works to be exclusive to the Car Show. You affirm that you created the work you are submitting. If you’re a performer and you’d like to submit a recording of yourself playing a piece written by someone else, ask them to submit the form on your behalf. How To Apply: View the submission form here. All works should be sent as links that do not expire––i.e., no WeTransfer. Each artist or collective can submit works in multiple categories, but you must submit a separate form for each work you intend to submit. Exception: 5 haikus/sound design haikus can be submitted in a single submission form.

Opportunity: CROSS Award Where: Italy When: from january 2021 Deadline: 15th september 2020 Online Application: [www.crossproject.it] Fee to Participate or Apply: 0 Description Of Opportunity: OPEN CALL CROSS Award 2020 – VI edition LIS Lab Performing Arts – in collaboration with Fondazione Piemonte dal Vivo and Ricola – announces the fifth edition of the ‘International CROSS award’ for artists and companies in the field of performing arts and music, with particular attention to original productions focused on the close interaction between artistic creation and environment, understood as landscape, territory or community. With respect to the profound changes that shake our everyday life, CROSS Award 2020 aims to be an incubator of images and practices which are engaged on the rewriting of the present as well as the re-appropriation of public spaces. The award aims to promote investigation and artistic expressions related to the combination of different styles and genres, considering multi-language practices and the mix of techniques and codes pertaining to the various performing arts as reward factors. The artistic creation aims to be a mean of research and intervention on the reality. Through their relational and permeable quality, performative arts represent the place to build again trust on the community and social dimension of our experience of the world. The goal of the competition is to identify new productions – thoroughly unpublished – that put in dialogue the language of the body and of the stage performance with musical composition, without any restrictions or constraints of kind, category or practice. The call is open to individual artists, professionals and companies. The project must be submitted as a production that can be developed during the different phases of the residency and that could include multiple expressive practices at the same time (as such: dance, music composition and interpretation, DJset, live soundtrack, composition of a soundtrack, activity of noise music, theatre, body performance, urban performance and dance, walkways, participated workshops, singing, new technologies, video art, motioncapture, readings, site-specific design). For this edition will be selected 5 projects for a 15-day residence in Verbania (Italy) with a fee for the production of € 2.000,00 each.

Opportunities: hungry eyes festival – festival at the intersection of film, performance and installation art (Gießen, Germany) Deadline – 31.08.2020

Opportunity: hungry eyes festival – festival at the intersection of film, performance and installation art Where: Gießen, Germany When: 5th -7th of February 2021 Deadline: 31.08.2020 Online Application: Fee to Participate or Apply: no Description Of Opportunity: For its fourth edition, hungry eyes festival is once again looking for artistic works that situate themselves at the intersection of film, performance and installation art and question film in an interdisciplinary way. This year hungry eyes festival will take place in the urban exhibition space KiZ (Kultur im Zentrum) and poses the question of how cinematic works can relate to, as well as challenge that space. A program consisting of short film series, performative and installative works will explore what constitutes the medium film and how cinematographic elements and working methods can be translated into other media. What can cinematic work mean in the context of installation art and performances if it does not only mean the playing of audiovisual clips? To what extent can also a short film address its own form and play with performative elements? By which means does film become a field of experimentation that expands its own concept and practice in an interdisciplinary approach? From a ballet of overhead projectors, an exhibition with flip-books to a silent movie screening with virtual reality glasses – everything is possible. hungry eyes festival is looking for your short films, installation art and performative formats! Apply with your works until 31st of August 2020! Since we are particularly interested in interdisciplinary works, we also want to encourage artists to apply with projects that do not fit perfectly into one of these categories! How To Apply: Please fill out the application form and send it to kontakt@hungryeyesfestival.de no later then August 31st.

Opportunities: Open Call – Dystopia Festival – Sound Art (Berlin, Germany) Deadline July 1, 2020

» ‎ Contemporary Performance - Opportunities

Open Call – Dystopia Festival – Sound Art (Berlin, Germany)Deadline July 1, 2020Apply: Online The Dystopia Festival brings diverse sound art viewpoints together in an exhibition that deals with current dystopian moments, as well as those of an imagined future. Dystopias have gained immense importance in recent years. Not only in fiction, but also in reality, the dystopian signals have been increasing, whether by authoritarian-led states, in threats posed by global Internet corporations, by drastic climate developments – or, most recently, by the corona pandemic. The dystopian always carries the germ of the utopian within it however, even if only as a warning to us not to let things go so far- as we have witnessed during the Corona period, when, for example, Venice’s canals became clear again, or, when the sky over Beijing became clear as well. Berlin – Brazil / Oct. 16 – Nov. 01 2020 Following on from the premiere of the double edition Dystopie Berlin-Istanbul (2018/2019), our guest country this year will be Brazil. In addition to artists from Brazil, we invite sound artists from Europe to submit new or existing works that deal with the topic of “dystopia” in the broadest sense. Sound art possesses the particular artistic potential, through its creation of atmospheres and it’s resonating in unusual spaces, to make the ambiguity between dystopia and utopia perceptible to the senses: dystopian scenarios of society & state, nature & climate, cognition & communication captured in sound. These can be situations that, depending on the context, appear as dystopian or utopian sketches, reacting to ambiguously interpretable, world-wide processes, including digitalization, globalization, climate change, economic imbalance as well as social, religious and ethnic confrontations and aspects of de/recolonization. The focus on Brazil gives the festival its current, political thrust – the individual works are not meant to be fixed on this however, but rather to operate from within their own context. With this open call we would like to offer sound artists the opportunity to develop new works that react to these dystopian signals and express them in different sound-artistic perspectives, whereby “sound-artistic” explicitly may include visual, object-like and space-related means in addition to sound. Due to the uncertain situation regarding Corona, please note that we prefer installation works. The Alte Münze (Old Mint) in Berlin-Mitte serves as the main exhibition venue, with cellars and vaults in very different sizes. The Errant Sound gallery space is available for the additional exhibition of works, and especially the path between these two locations, on the banks of the Spree, offers locations where sound artistic interventions in public space are possible (depending on permission). For Alte Münze and on the banks of river Spree site-specific works are welcome. A visit of the locations is planned for artists on June 12th, 12 o’clock : Please register by festival@errantsound.net (We will meet in front of the Café The Greens / Haus 3 on the Alte Münze public area). A PDF with photos is available for artists who are unable to visit the location: Open Call -PDF- Artists living in Brazil will be invited for the festival directly. The open call is for sound artists living in the European region. Climate-friendly travel by train is preferable – if at all possible. The festival wants to establish a sustainable cooperation with the Brazilian sound art scene and we hope to continue the Dystopie-Festival in Brazil in 2021. Selected works produced for Berlin 2020 will then be shown in Brazil. Jury Open Call Head of Jury: Julia Gerlach (Akademie der Künste Berlin) Laura Mello (Artistic director Dystopie Festival 2020) Georg Klein (Artistic director Dystopie Festival 2020) Prof. Alexandre Fenerich (Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro) Prof. Kirsten Reese (Universität der Künste Berlin) Mario Asef (Errant Sound Vorstand) Budget The festival is organized by Errant Sound – an artist run project space, not an institution. Therefore only a limited budget is available: Artist fee for existing works: 500€ . Artist fee for new works produced for the festival: 1500€ . Production budget: 1500€ on average per project, including costs for materials and special equipment (also rented equipment). If your project will be selected a precise cost calculation will be needed. Transportation, travel and accomodation costs will be covered by the festival. Save our climate: if possible please come by train and avoid flights. How to apply 1. Fill in the online application form (incl. short project proposal) here2. Send us a long CV and a portfolio with 3 of your recent works as PDF (Max. 10MB) to contact@dystopie-festival.net, and optional a long project description PDF (Max. 5MB). Application deadline July 1st 2020 Apply now The festival is organized by Errant Sound e.V. and kindly funded by Kulturstiftung des Bundes and Berliner Senatsverwaltung für Kultur und Europa.

Festival: XL at CENTRALE FIES, DRO (TN) – ITALY

» ‎ Contemporary Performance - Opportunities

“Not a festival, but a collective training for the thought, to the action, to the present”. XLCENTRALE FIES, DRO (TN) – ITALYColophon XL was and will be the new format of Centrale Fies, originally conceived for the 40th anniversary of Drodesera and the 20th of Fies. Today it finds a new correlation in the analysis of an “oversize” that breaks the summer one shot , weaving together all the annual events of Centrale Fies. From the 17th of July to the 8th of August, XL will take place again, live and on site, every weekend. In the meantime, initiatives continue on the Centrale Fies website [www.centralefies.it] which from the 25th of June also outlines the first online exhibition of ‘INBTWN – In Between’, a programme curated by Claudia D’Alonzo. The XL programming is designed to develop in progress until March 2021. It is divided into chapters, some have already been written, others are to be rewritten and others to be imagined. A writing shared by the artists, the curators, specialists and spectators that is capable of accompanying us through this time, networking with a community able to imagine the festival as something to be transformed. It is to this networking, to this community, that we turn, to face and reach 2021. From the 25th of June on the Centrale Fies website INBTWN – In Between, the second chapter of XL. With INBTWN the curator Claudia D’Alonzo will expand the theme of the relationship between body and technology, between the online space of the website and incursions into physical spaces, through heterogeneous perspectives offered by four artistic events. The first two are scheduled for June and July and will be presented by IOCOSE, Elena Biserna and Anna Raimondo. These contributions involve languages and practices inside and outside the network, making the website a laboratory space, in transformation during the review. Afterwards, from the 17th of July and for every weekend until the 8th of August it will be the turn of Hyperlocal, a programme curated by Barbara Boninsegna and Filippo Andreatta, with Anagoor, Chiara Bersani, MK, Jacopo Jenna, Mali Weil, OHT, CollettivO CineticO and Alessandro Sciarroni, Giorgia Ohanesian Nardin, Marco D’Agostin, Underground. On the 25th of July, the second event of INBTWN will take place, this time online, with Elena Biserna and Anna Raimondo. From the 6th to the 17th of July, two of the seven projects selected for LIVE WORKS Vol 8 will be exhibited at Centrale Fies, curated by Barbara Boninsegna and Simone Frangi. The artists Giulia Crispiani (IT) & Golrokh Nafisi (IR/NL) together with Göksu Kunak (TR/DE) will present the first results in a study visit for the public on the 17th and the 18th of July 2020. Hyperlocal takes place in an exceptional time, but does not want to be an emergency programming: each work within the programme is not simply a new version of the existing one but the result of a development of the work that the artists have imagined as consistent with their own research. The care of the performing art starts from the support, from the residences, from becoming a place where everything is worked, enhanced, articulated before the being shown to the public. All performances will take place in the external spaces of Centrale Fies, while the internal spaces will be transformed by immersive exhibitions, conceived to broaden the vision on the theatre and the performance. Storia Notturna [Night Story ] is the collective exhibition curated by Simone Frangi and Denis Isaia. The protagonists of the exhibit are Mercedes Azpilicueta, Chiara Camoni, Darius-Robin Dolatyari-Dolatdoust, Francesco Fonassi, Luca Frei, Raffaela Naldi Rossano, Anna Perach. The artists will activate the works on display in a long day performance on Sunday 19 July. The idea of XL was born before the onset of the recent months, marked by uncertainty. This idea comes with the desire to abandon the format of the summer festival to explode, expand and aggregate all the projects of a place of research and artistic production such as Centrale Fies. This formula exploded over time, in the disciplines, practices and issues addressed, capable to see art and culture as means of collective training in thought and action, fortifying its ability to enter the narrative and nutritional processes of an artistic and alpine territory. But while the explosion of activities, practices and methods of curation connected with Centrale Fies was taking place, prompting us into being united with one another, inspiring us with forests, new Pangeas and “hyper” natures, an earthly and invisible being witnessed the collapse of our certainties, further strengthening the awareness of a world where humans have never been the focus or the unicum, but only a small percentage of the existing. “The programming of Centrale Fies”, says Dino Sommadossi, founder of Centrale Fies, “has always been only the tip of the iceberg of a complex job of research, design and organization with dozens of professionals, to eventually open up to the public performances that they are not entertainment, but a real collective moment, an active means of articulating the thought to different directions, to bring to light the minor narratives that the mainstream has always left on the margins. Whatever still happens, we will try to preserve the virtuous circle of care and attention that has guided all the actions of the centre in all these years, and now everyone will be asked to do the same, to take care of a piece of ecosystem through mutual actions: we will plea the building, the forms and forces of nature all around, none excluded, we will call upon the public, as well as the curators, artists and hosted and passer-by artists”. Barbara Boninsegna, artistic director of Centrale Fies states: “We believe that now it is important to devote time to the observation of this present which is more unexplored and shapeless than ever, and to bring out questions thanks to which you can try to imagine other ways of inhabiting spaces and meet the bodies. The era we are going through requires a new way of narrating our projects, which become the Chapters of a new story between the virtual and the real”. Finally, inspired by the Wood Wide Web, the support and nourishment network for forests, with PERFORMANCE WIDE WEB, Centrale Fies wants to share projects, conversations, programmes by artists, curators and workers that are active in the sphere of performative practices. This is a further way to stay together in a time when this is impossible, escaping from the nets to fill spaces left empty and enhance the time for thinking, study, organization, strategy, nourishment and finally, collection, of each project. In this way the online channels of Centrale Fies, the social accounts and the website, become an Observatory, which collectsobservations and practices; projects created over the last months by other organizations; contemporary or historical works of art that have experimented with heterogeneous forms of presence and use, archival documents, readings and theoretical references. A place full of dialogue, study and research, fuelled by the multiple perspectives of the ‘exploded curatorship’. Furthermore, this year, Centrale Fies has thought of a “Deadline is Dead” font as a gadget of this 40th anniversary. The font can be downloaded for free. It is halfway between Goth and Metal, originating from the crasis of the imageries of Fies.

Open Call symposium 2020 – Variations of Beckett Symposium dates: 31st July – 2nd AugustDeadline: 30th June “In his dreams he had been warned against this change. Seen the dear face and heard the unspoken words, Stay where we were so long alone together, my shade will comfort you.”– Samuel Beckett, Ohio Impromptu (1981) Variations of Beckett/Schouskollektivet invites artists from all fields to participate in a three-day symposium. The themes we will be researching are time, memory, and dreams. These are central to Samuel Beckett’s work, but reach well beyond this specific context. We are inviting artists to research these themes using their own artistic practices, and thereby also contributing to an exchange between artists working with artistic research. Our wish is to open up the works of Beckett to others who may not know him already and to learn something new in this process. The text we will use as a starting point is Beckett’s one-act play “Ohio Impromptu”, but where we’ll end up we’ll find out together! >> The research questions we want to examine are:- What is the impact of togethering when examining self in times of isolation? – How can we explore individual dreams and memories collectively?– How do we perceive the concept of time in performance?>> Interested? We recommend reading the whole open call on our web-pag [https:] Who are we? Read more about us here: [https:] >>How does it work?We will stay for a period of three days at Nesodden (outside of Oslo) where we’ll work together in a group. The Variations of Beckett’s artists will guide the participants through the whole process. We will have prepared a series of tasks in advance which we will solve together in the time we have, and end up in a performance on the third day. This performance will be open to an audience both physically and digitally, so it’s important that you wish to work towards a work in progress presentation in order to participate. This call is thus primarily directed at artists working with performance, but we are open for others to join as well.This is a retreat where all the artists live and eat together at Nesodden after the program for the day has ended. More information will be provided once we have contacted the selected participants. We will cover food and housing, whilst the participants will cover travels. Please note: There may be changes to our program, and we will in this case update this event. This might lead to parts of the program being at Nesodden and in Oslo.> We can accommodate maximum 10 participants. > Participating through zoom will be an option, and we will decide upon arranging part of the symposium digitally once we have read through the applications. > Fill out this form by the 30th June [https:] Questions?

Opportunities: Be A Part Of The 2020 Spider Festival (Ljubljana, Slovenia) Deadline – 27. May 2020

» ‎ Contemporary Performance - Opportunities

Opportunity: BE A PART OF THE 2020 SPIDER FESTIVAL Where: Ljubljana, Slovenia When: Between 17 and 20 June 2020 Deadline: 27. May 2020 Description Of Opportunity: Spider Festival, a festival of radical bodies, began to knit its web back in 2010 in Ljubljana under the umbrella of Pekinpah, while the artistic guidance is always in the hands of local artists. It brings together and interlaces bodies, thus opening a possibility for intense critical thematizations of a complex cultural-political atmosphere, social frictions and paradoxes, contemporary taboos and most urgent topics – through an artistic expression, of course. Unconventional approaches and discourses, anti-hegemonic objections and proposals of something better, new, hybrid genres, dance art which is only rarely presented in the mainstream, all this is Spider Festival. We were preparing the 2020 edition of the 9th Spider Festival. We were contemplating the continuation of our core thought: the movement of evolution. Suddenly, a break occurred. The lockdown intensified the already present rules of engagement. Involution ad infinitum. Now what? Consider this as an alternative thought: Involution, not as mere shrinkage, but as an inalienable internal dynamics of an organism, or better, organisms. The process of becoming a spatial social network, a horizon of horizontal face-to-face encounters with all their collisions and frictions, a non-hierarchical participatory construction of movement as language and knowledge, and vice versa. Yes, now this. We are inviting you to create the Spider Festival 2020. We dont want to welcome you to how it was before. We’ve therefore abandoned our carefully prepared festival program. We’ve abandoned all indoor events. Our dance floor will be set in the natural environment of the Tivoli Park and other partner’s sites in Ljubljana. More information on [https:] How To Apply: Proposals should include: – written proposal; max. 1 page A4, – artist/team presentation, – video links (if applicable), – social media profile links (optional) – precise technical riders, – 2 hi-res photos, – credits, including supporters.

Artists-in-Residence share their creative process with the community through open rehearsals, workshops and artist talks. Artists-in-Residence receive access to an extensive collection of resources central to the Watermill experience: 20,000 square feet of rehearsal/design spaces and outdoor stages; a theater production archive (housed in New York City); The Watermill Center Study Library; The Watermill Collection; and The Center’s ten acre landscaped grounds and gardens.

Which aspects of your art practice make you most excited, amused, fulfilled? What have you wanted to do for a long time, but you found the idea too silly, awkward, inappropriate, creepy, boring, senseless or not fitting into the open calls or funding applications?

Opportunities: MA Directing of Devised & Object Theatre (Prague) Deadline – Feb 14, 2020

» ‎ Contemporary Performance - Opportunities

MA Directing of Devised & Object Theatre (Prague) 14/02/2020 Deadline: 14/02/2020 Online Application: Fee to Participate or Apply: Description Of Opportunity: LEARN NEW WAYS TO DO THEATRE, CREATE YOUR OWN WORK & MAKE CONNECTIONS! (deadline to apply: February 14th!) MA Degree in Directing of Devised & Object Theatre a 2 year English language program at DAMU, Department of Alternative and Puppet Theatre in Prague! COURSE DESCRIPTION: The Master in Directing of Devised and Object Theatre offers advanced studies in the practice of theatre-making with a twofold focus: learning the process of devising a theatre performance from scratch, with a strong emphasis on a visuality of expression. Students will learn to create theatre performances with strong visual, spatial, object and media (low tech) aspects, as well as working in other related performance forms such as scenographic installations, sound performances, and other types of performances with strong visual and spatial dramaturgy. The process will be based in devising techniques: creating thematic, conceptual, and/or documentary projects that are not based in pre-written plays, but are created mainly through the process of rehearsing, often as collaborative work of the whole creative team. Students will learn to work with a variety of authentic, found, and created material: poetry, images, fragments of plays, songs, historical events, personal stories, scientific findings, common knowledge, pop culture, etc. Students will further learn a conceptual approach to research and development of materials, creating specific performance structures (in the sense of narrative, space, and relationship to audience), for specific material, and proposing new ways for audience to perceive/experience the performance to provide the students with skills to become independent authors. The degree is in directing, where directing is understood as an expanded practice, with the potential to work within the fields of design, writing, and performing, to prepare students for work in theatre forms without strict divisions of roles within the creative team. Students will be guided toward becoming independent creators making their own artistic work. For their last semester and final projects, students will be partnered with prominent practicing artists, based on their individual needs, working in the fields of media, site specific, community theatre, movement theatre, documentary theatre, puppet theatre, visual theatre, scenographic installation etc. for a hands on experience. Students will further have a possibility to create direct connection to international environment, artists, and institutions as well as connection to Czech artists and companies. PRACTICE: The foundations of the program involve practical work that provides the student with a hands-on experience with all the elements and in all the phases of project creation: selecting a theme; building a concept and dramaturgical structure; processing material; sound, visual and spatial design; dramaturgical work with material; creating material through rehearsal; performing and working with performers; work with puppets and objects; work with audiences. SKILLS ATTAINED: Directing theatre performances with strong visual and spatial components Devising performance from a variety of material Devising using one’s own material (not only interpreting already existing material) Research and development of material Creation of a variety of dramaturgical structures and research of material Performing, and working with performers Performance designing (scenography) CONTACT: Sodja Lotker sodja.zupanclotker@damu.cz For more information about the course, fees, application please visit: [https:] How To Apply: For more information on how to apply please visit: [https:] or contact: Sodja Lotker sodja.zupanclotker@damu.cz Contact Email:briadlm@hotmail.co.uk Website: [https:] LIST YOUR OPPORTUNITIES: Share your open calls, commissions, grants, workshops, classes, festivals, and more with the network.

David Goldsworthy, Senior Teacher at the Roy Hart Centre, will conduct this workshop. The pedagogic approach of Roy Hart Training begins with the premise that each individual voice is unique. There is no singular established method rather the training is a disciplined exploration guided by the teacher releasing sources of energy and imagination to open the voice, to realise its potential. Roy Hart teaching workshops have been developed based on a history of more than 80 years of research, study and practice of the human voice.

We ask audiences to witness, feel, comply or act. By creating conditions by which audience and performer collaboratively engage in a shared kinesthetic state, we ultimately aim to produce sensory rich experiences where years of history can fold, clash, interact, contradict and tell its own story in its own way. Much of the company’s work is derived from physical space and site, usually working within geographic or historical contexts. We place these findings in non-traditional sites and use immersive engagement to create shared intimacies between audience and place and audience and performer. NOW THEN NOW will be a fearless, and vibrant two – day masterclass to uncover new ways of engaging with places and audiences. About ANU Cutting across form and context, ANU are a multidisciplinary company, cross-pollinating theatre, visual art and dance, building a reputation for creating transformative experiences in unconventional sites. Established in April 2009, ANU have created 28 multi award winning seminal works, public art commissions, gallery installations and museum interpretations.

Venice International Performance Art Week 2020 — Co-Creation Live Factory Dissenting Bodies Marking Time (European Cultural Centre – Palazzo Mora, Venice, Italy) January 8-18, 2020 Deadline: December 7, 2019 Online Application: [https:] Fee to Participate or Apply: 600 € Description Of Opportunity: Open Call for Artists VENICE INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCE ART WEEK 2020 CO-CREATION LIVE FACTORY Dissenting Bodies Marking Time A project of the VENICE INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCE ART WEEK Palazzo Mora & Palazzo Michiel, Venice (IT) January 8-18, 2020 (Open to the public on the days 15-16-17-18 January 2020) Applications are now open until December 7, 2019 CO-CREATION LIVE FACTORY Dissenting Bodies Marking Time is intended for those artists, performers and visionary poets who wish to articulate and refine their skills, expand their practice, exploring new ideas and approaches, allowing their work to become more fully realised. It offers a rare opportunity to explore new territories of performance in an extended, intensive period of time outside of an academic setting. It is both a learning path and a unique occasion to work and collaborate together in the ART WEEK Venue: Palazzo Mora, the major seat of the European Cultural Centre in Venice. It is an opportunity for each participant to strengthen creative talent and intellectual freedom, finally to present the results of an immersive co-creative process publicly through solo, collaborative and collective performances. CO-CREATION LIVE FACTORY “Dissenting Bodies Marking Time” is a 12-day residential performance program consisting of: • 8 days of intensive, residential co-creation workshop processes for international artists in two tutor groups – one led by artist duos VestAndPage (Italy/Germany) and Andrigo & Aliprandi (Italy), and one by artist Marilyn Arsem (US). Selected artists will work in one tutor group during the entire process. Places per tutor group are limited to a maximum of 20. • Discussions structured in the form of roundtables and open dialogues during the morning sessions. • Morning lectures by invited international live art curators, organisers and practitioners. • Four days program of live performances open to the public on January 15-16-17-18, 2020 at the ART WEEK venue ECC| Palazzo Mora, Venice (Admission free). Including performances by guest artists of honour and the film screening Pavlensky – Man and Might. The culmination of the co-creation process will be open to the audience: we will transform the venue together into a dynamic performance site through a series of collective performance operas, as well as collaborative and solo performances. TUTORS: Marilyn Arsem, VestAndPage, Andrigo&Aliprandi GUEST ARTISTS OF HONOUR: Guillermo Gómez-Peña, Kira O’Reilly, Pyotr Pavlensky (Film screening), others to be announced CO-TUTORS: Fenia Kotsopoulou, Marcel Sparmann LECTURERS: Francesco Kiàis, Joseph Morgan Schofield BACKGROUND At the conclusion of the Trilogy of the Body (2012, 2014, 2016), the VENICE INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCE ART WEEK undertook a new path with the project Co-Creation Live Factory, conceived to be an artistic experience of a different kind founded on the principles of artistic collaboration, cooperation and temporary artistic community. The concept developed out of the VENICE INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCE ART WEEK’s core mission and its Educational Learning Program. The aim is to empower participating artists who are selected through an Open Call, to articulate and develop their individual praxis within an independent temporary autonomous zone of co-creation under the tuition of established performance artists. The new course was inaugurated on December 2017 with its first edition entitled CO-CREATION LIVE FACTORY Prologue 1. It focused on the concepts of time and endurance and investigates themes such as the poetics of relations, the perception of the self and the quest for personal freedom. The second one, held on December 2018, featured the installation of the experimental collective performance opera BODY MATTERS: Anam Cara – Dwelling Bodies to explore the notions of intimacy and companionship, risk-taking and abandonment. Following these previous two experiences, CO-CREATION LIVE FACTORY Dissenting Bodies Marking Time now consolidates the founding principles of the project, this time addressing topics such as dissent, identity, queer theory, concepts of time, transience and impermanence. APPLICATIONS ARE NOW ACCEPTED ON A ROLLING BASE UNTIL DECEMBER 7, 2019. VENICE INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCE ART WEEK | CO-CREATION LIVE FACTORY is a project conceived by artist duo VestAndPage and independent curator Francesca Carol Rolla, realised by Studio Contemporaneo non-profit Cultural Association in cooperation with Live Arts Cultures non-profit Cultural Association, We Exhibit, Venice Open Gates, and with the in-kind support by the European Cultural Centre | GAA Foundation and ConCAVe Venice. How To Apply: To apply, please fill in the online form on [https:] Fee: 600, – € The fee includes (during the period of the project): – Tuition; – Accommodation in shared rooms in 3*** / 4**** hotels in Venice-Mestre (breakfast included); – Venice City tourist tax; – Local transport from the accommodation to Piazzale Roma, which is just 10 minutes away from the venue on foot. – Please note that lunch and dinners are not included in this fee. We will supply a list of recommendations of nearby eateries and restaurants with affordable prices. The VENICE INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCE ART WEEK provides letters of support to selected participants to request grants or support from institutions of reference in order to sustain travel costs and/or fees. The VENICE INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCE ART WEEK and its tutors will award up to three tuition-free grants to selected participants. An extensive catalogue book on the CO-CREATION LIVE FACTORY project (editions 2017, 2018 and 2020) will be published after the conclusion of the project.

Proposal for an inaugural season for Fall 2020, in collaboration with relevant partners on campus, and, pending budget approval, contracting artists. Active participation in fundraising efforts. Some of the questions the consulting curator would address: What is the right balance of presenting work vs. commissioning new work? What is the right balance of local, national and international artists? What can make this program distinctive, impactful, and transformative? How can we best partner with presenters locally, nationally and globally to make this program most successful? What are the pros and cons of a festival versus a season?

About UChicago Arts UChicago Arts connects and amplifies the impact of the University’s nearly 100 arts organizations, initiatives, and academic programs. This work brings together the efforts of students, faculty, artists and community partners to suffuse the Life of the Mind on campus with creativity while securing the University’s role as a cultural destination and resource on Chicago’s South Side, throughout Chicago, and beyond. About the Experimental Performance Initiative Experimentation is at the very heart of who we are and what we do at the University of Chicago. In our laboratories, our classrooms, or our publications, we are fundamentally committed to practices of exploration and invention – practices that are at once reverent (because deeply engaged with the history of how pressing problems have been conceived) and irreverent (in the unfettered determination to find new and compelling answers to those problems). The arts play a crucial role in our culture of experimentation, forming a crucible where new ideas are tested, new insights applied, and new forms produced. Thus, to cite a few examples, the Chicago Center for Contemporary Composition is reinventing longstanding practices of commissioning and presenting new music; the Smart Museum is rethinking the boundaries and forms of contemporary artistic practices; the South Side Home Movie Project is reshaping the archive of American film history; Court Theatre is redefining classic theater for an urban metropolis; the Gray Center for Arts and Inquiry and the Arts, Science & Culture Initiative are modeling new forms of collaboration between artists and scholars; the Logan Center for the Arts is developing an array of innovative partnerships with ensembles and institutions across the city; the Green Line Performing Arts Center and the Arts Incubator are forging new ways to train and support artists in the communities of the South Side. Over the course of the past five years in particular, the arts have enabled us to experiment with boundaries – in a curricular, institutional, and conceptual sense on campus; but also in a social, historical, and political sense in the city and in the world. Having generated an extraordinary profusion of new forms of artistic practice and new ways that those practices can impact our students, our community, and our world, we find ourselves in need of a comprehensive – and suitably experimental – means of sharing this work. This initiative is that means: a program that seeks to gather together a disparate set of artistic practices at the U of C, but that also embodies the spirit of dynamism, invention, and astonishment occasioned by those practices. It is a program for art at this extraordinary place in these extraordinary times – and an invitation to share in the varieties of invention that define us.

Opportunities: First Body – Workshop of Creation with Diego Borges (NYC) Deadline – Early Bird by July 1

» ‎ Contemporary Performance - Opportunities

First Body – Workshop of Creation with Diego Borges (NYC) September 13-15, 2019 Deadline: Early Bird by July 1 Online Application: Fee to Participate or Apply: Normal price $200, or $175 if you register by July 1 Description Of Opportunity: We are excited to bring First Body, developed by Diego Borges, to New York City this September 13-15, for the first time in the US. This workshop is developed from human movement. It is suitable for actors/dancers/performers, and people who like and need to move beyond what is usual or everyday. It aims at developing the understanding and the artistic and creative expressive possibilities of one´s body, with emphasis on rhythm, precision and impulse as paths to artistic creation. Our body is made of memory, but throughout our lives we get used to repeating the same principles and forgetting our first body- the body of the human being, which allows us innumerable possibilities- the body of the baby playing on the carpet, an elastic and creative body-voice-mind. Based on research conducted in Brazil and Europe over the last ten years, First Body is an invitation to think with the whole body. The research is informed by techniques and concepts developed by director Jerzy Grotowski (Poland), the theatre company Teatro O Bando (Portugal), as well as acrobatics, contact improvisation, and capoeira. FIrst Body has previously been conducted in Berlin, Lisbon, São Paulo, Blumenau, Fortaleza and Brasília, in search of improvement and sharing. For us there is no model to be repeated or copied, we try to understand human movement as an independent creative possibility, where each participant finds the possibilities and barriers of this somatic framework in order to overcome its limits to find new paths. We will investigate this practice through: concrete sensations; exploration of the senses; focus, rhythm and precision; tactical games; understanding of movements; coordination and attention; somatic framework; weight and severity; vocalization, breathing, intention, emotion; ritual songs; work with objects, kinesthetic empathy, manipulation; improvisation, and work with partners and the group.

Opportunities: Buffer Fringe Performing Arts Festival VI Open Call (Nicosia, Cyprus) Deadline – 10 June 2019

» ‎ Contemporary Performance - Opportunities

Buffer Fringe Performing Arts Festival VI Open Call (Nicosia, Cyprus) 25-27 October Deadline: 10 June 2019 Online Application: [www.home4cooperation.info] Fee to Participate or Apply: Free Description Of Opportunity: Open Call. Buffer Fringe Performing Arts Festival / Cyprus 2019 Category: Performative Arts (Performance, Theatre, Dance, Visual, Installation) Reach: Cyprus-based and International Application Deadline: June 10th, 2019 Organizer: Home for Cooperation Festival period: 25/10/19 – 27/10/19 Open Call. Buffer Fringe Performing Arts Festival / Cyprus 2019 Category: Performative Arts (Performance, Theatre, Dance, Visual, Installation) Reach: Cyprus-based and International Application Deadline: June 10th, 2019 Organizer: Home for Cooperation [i] Festival period: 25/10/19 – 27/10/19 The Festival Buffer Fringe Performing Arts Festival (BFPAF) showcases new and experimental work by local and international artists, challenges physical and artistic barriers, and creates opportunities for artists to meet and exchange ideas. It creates the environment for the questioning of preconceived ideas of the performing arts, the relationship between artists and audience, and shines a new light on the relationship between arts and society. The festival hosts innovative work, artists who practice cutting-edge methodologies, and are open to inter-disciplinary and cross-sectorial work. The Festival’s programming aims to offer both local and international artists a platform to showcase their work and offers the opportunity for interaction between artists, between artists and audiences, of audiences and space, as well as with the BFPAF institution, in a celebratory spirit of multiculturalism and peaceful coexistence. Taking place in a divided country, Buffer Fringe Festival assumes more responsibilities than an arts festival taking place elsewhere. It is one of a kind in Cyprus and the world. BFPAF Theme “Defining the/a Buffer Zone, the In-Between Space” The Festival is a creative meeting between local and international artists, students and scholars, an institution deeply rooted in the Buffer Zone of Nicosia. Thus far, the Buffer Zone of Ledra Palace, has been largely undefined artistically, in spite being the grounds for events since 2011. The Concept of the BFPAF 2019 is based on this gap, which has shaped the following questions: What does the/a Buffer Zone mean to you (artistically and personally)? How do you understand it as an in-between place, between realities? How do you understand it as a process, an ever-changing process that spans through time, memory, and aesthetics? We invite artists to propose work, which is meaningful for them, the space and institution of the Fringe, in a creative space where often form, content and process interplay with the creators and the audience. Their work must adhere to the values of artistic freedom and mutual respect, and strive for artistic excellence and the production of meaningful art, while at the same time recognizing the space as one of past trauma, but which also holds promise for a peaceful future. We also invite artists to consider how culture (culture of violence, culture of peace, etc.) has been a) colonialized on the island, and b) sensationalized world-wide, and anticipate that they shape their proposals free of those syndromes. All forms of experimental performance work are accepted, which can contain (but are not limited to) theatre, music, dance, acrobatics, installation/visual art and other cross-disciplinary elements. Moreover, we welcome proposals for participatory, durational, and/or site-specific formats. For performances in languages other than English, the text must be provided in translation in English by the artists. Finally, and as part of a process of development of the Fringe community on the island, Cyprus-based artists will have the opportunity to engage with the BFPAF creative and technical staff in a process of consultation. Before the applications deadline (for all applicants) and after the deadline (for selected artists), a dialogue on creative and technical issues relating with their proposal and performance can take place, relating that with the Buffer Fringe 2019 theme. Work will be selected by an artistic committee, headed by Artistic Director Ellada Evangelou, and comprised of representatives from the Home for Cooperation, artists, curators and professionals from within the field of the performing arts. Support for participating artists: – An honorarium of €800 groups / €500 for solo artists – Support in your fundraising, with BFPAF partners and long-standing supporters and donors – Support in promotion of the performance as part of the festival outreach – Rehearsal space can be arranged for a period of 2-4 weeks prior to the performance, upon request by the artists – The opportunity to meet other artists, access to all other performances and parallel events of the festival, share your experience over social and networking events and an opportunity to expose your work to other international festival directors. Parameters / Requirements: Duration between 30’ to 70’ minutes (Exceptions are durational, promenade and/or Loop performances) Technical Requirements must comply with the venues provided by BFPAF (Please see attachment with technical specifications and specify your production needs in the section ‘Production Details’) English text/subtitles must be available for the performance if the language is other than English. Selection Criteria: Direct relevance of the subject matter of the work with the theme of the Festival. The description of the art product needs to answer to one or all of the questions posed in the Theme. Non-relevant works will not be considered. In terms of methodology, innovative work will be preferred, although that does not exclude more ‘traditional’ performances. The use of collaborative creative processes, multimedia, interaction, and others, and the exploration of new ways to expression and communication of the work, will be appreciated in the application. Cross-disciplinary and cross-sectorial work will receive extra merit. Involving means of creation of the artistic work and presentation of the work from sectors such as academia, social work, peace-building, architecture and spatial design, and others, is welcome. How To Apply: ALL application material must be submitted ONLY in English, and must contain: Filled out Application Form in the online link HERE The form Includes: A description of the work (max. 300 words) Relevance to the Festival Theme (max. 300 words) A CV of the artist(s) (max. 3 pages) or link to the website or blog of the company/group Technical Specifications and selection of space. Accompanying materials: YouTube or Vimeo link to video documentation of the work OR video excerpts from the rehearsals OR outlining of the concept of the work-in-progress. Language: If languages other than English or Greek or Turkish are used, the documentation must be subtitled OR accompanied by a full script in English Contact Email:communications@home4cooperation.info Website: [www.home4cooperation.info] LIST YOUR OPPORTUNITIES: Share your open calls, commissions, grants, workshops, classes, festivals, and more with the network.

In Performance: Tarek Atoui: Organ Within (kurimanzutto, New York)

» ‎ Contemporary Performance - Opportunities

Tarek Atoui: Organ Within (Kurimanzutto, New York) May 3 – June 25, 2019 kurimanzutto presents Tarek Atoui’s project Organ Within at its cabinet space in New York City. Operating as an open sound laboratory, and instrumentarium, Atoui will debut a new hybrid sculptural object that engages numerous technologies in order to re-envision the spatialization, perception and performativity of the traditional organ. The Organ Within is the result of his ongoing collaboration with instrument-makers Léo Maurel and Vincent Martial, and their research into historical church pipe organs, modular synthesizers, and the sonic experiences of deaf people. For this presentation, Atoui partners with Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe from CONTROL, Brooklyn’s leading synthesizer shop. As host and activator of the project, CONTROL has invited a diverse group of sound artists and musicians from New York’s experimental music community to venture and play the organ at kurimanzutto in New York. This group of collaborators will occupy the cabinet space one week at a time, to work with the instrument for research and recording purposes. These residencies will be open to the public, with a weekly performance held every Saturday at 3 pm. Out of this continuous improvisation, Atoui and CONTROL will curate a final performance in the Rotunda of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum on June 27, 2019 at 7 pm. To mark the closing of the two month project all resident artists will gather together to perform a simultaneous session. A moderated conversation with Atoui and his collaborators will precede the performance. Organ Within is an itinerant exhibition organized in different movements. Beginning at kurimanzutto, New York and culminating at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the project will later travel in successive movements to The Hepworth Wakefield, England during Yorkshire Sculpture International (June 22 –September 29, 2019) and will extend to the Sharjah Art Foundation, United Arab Emirates, in March 2020.
