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. November 30-December 21, 2020 Mondays between 6-8pm CET Fee: EUR 175 How To Apply: Enroll online at:

Are you making digital performance? We have put together a list of helpful tech. (these are linked to Amazon, but you can find them in many online stores). 1. Web Cam – ( you don’t need one if you have a built-in camera on your computer, but it can be helpful to put an external webcam at a higher level for better angles for performance and don’t want to put your computer at risk of falling to the ground)
[https:] 2. Ring Light – (helpful for filling in face evenly. we prefer the RGB LED kind so we can also work with color)
[https:] 3. Bluetooth mic – (These are helpful if you are performing further than a few feet from the webcam. Check your webcam before you buy, because some webcams get good audio from even 10 feet away)
[https:] 2. Green Screen – (you can use virtual greenscreen backgrounds in Zoom, but to get a crisp background and full-body presentation at different distances, it is best to use an actual green screen hung behind you)
[https:] 3. RGB LED Colored lights for room fill – (we like these because you can use an app control the colors)
[https:] 4. Ethernet Cable to direct link your computer to your internet router – (It can be very helpful for frame rate and frame drop to directly plug your computer into your internet router instead of over wifi)
[https:] 5. Ethernet to USB C Adapter – (If you have a computer made in the past 10 years you will most likely need an ethernet adapter to your usb or usb c port on your computer)

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.

Opportunity: Call for submissions Ensemble Ouvert Where: Worldwide, based in Canada When: Rolling admissions Deadline: Rolling deadline Online Application:
[https:] Fee to Participate or Apply: No fee Description Of Opportunity: In 2011, Silvy Panet-Raymond launched The Missing Link Project in Berlin. Since then other versions have taken shape: Paris, 2014 and Rennes (France) 2018. Ensemble Ouvert (loosely translated as open / together or open-ended set) is a project that is created with contributions by over 100 artists from around the world. By engaging in the Ensemble Ouvert project, artists provide dynamic opportunities for their work and the work of others to generate new perspectives beyond the usual models of collaboration, exchange, and authorship. It’s not about making work around one person’s vision or having someone decide what the work is about. It’s about making work that is both autonomous and committed. Each artist commits to contributing material created by them, without copyright infringement. You are invited to discover what has been accomplished by browsing the website ensembleouvert.com How To Apply: To participate, simply enter your information here and we will follow up:

This practice-based online course focuses on the concept of memory as immediate inspiration and tool for creating performance art. Through joint analysis of historic and contemporary examples by artists such as Franko B., La Pocha Nostra, Kimsooja, Preach R Sun, Jodie Lyn-Kee-Chow, or Miao Jiaxin, participants will approach different forms of memory such as personal vs. collective, and the discourses connected with them: from emotion such as love and loss, to issues of identity, gender, and race, or experiences of migration, displacement, and diaspora.

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. Contact Email:rlb9fd@virginia.edu Website:

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.

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. You can find more detailed information on our website Open Call as PDF Application Form Contact Email:kontakt@hungryeyesfestival.de Website:

By creating different conditions of studying space, which monitor the cycle-chain of transformation from one natural element to another, Kinono imagines the partnership of a combination of two elements, under the influence of time, in each one of the hand-picked locations, as follows: Fire-Water/Koumelas Quarries, Water-Earth/Plain of Komi, Earth-Fire/Ismael village, Fire-Air/Papargyras Lighthouse, Air-Earth /Kakia Skala, Air-Water/Livada Beach. We invite participants to stay on the island for a period of three weeks, to work with natural matter, to reflect on current ecological, social issues, cultural and local issues, to establish collaborative communities, and to create original site-specific, collective, theoretical and tangible works in a non-urban environment. Offered by the residency (more details in the pdf): -Accommodation in rooms/and or hostels -Round trip Athens-Tinos (exclusively from Rafina port) -Sustenance during the introductory host activities (first 3days) and the closing activities (last 3days) -Basic Food supplies -Leased cars/coaches -Partial cover of cost of transport (gas) to all residency sites -Kinono can cover partial cover of production cost (early communication with Kinono is paramount) and suggest solutions How To Apply: We invite those interested to choose one element, along with one of the three respective locations, stating in their application their desired method of participation in the residency (full duration / limited (guest) duration or online).

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. OPPORTUNITIES: Share your open calls, commissions, grants, workshops, classes, festivals, and more with the network. Submit here!

“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

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

Applications for the 2021 Artist Residency Program are open from January 6, 2020 through April 3, 2020. The Watermill Center’s Artist Residency Program began in 2006, when The Center officially opened as a year-round facility. Each year collectives and individuals take up residence at The Center to live and develop works that critically investigate, challenge and extend the existing norms of artistic practice. The Artist Residency Program is process-based, without the expectation or promise of a final exhibition of the work. Watermill provides artists with time and space to focus on developing their practice in a communal environment that encourages experimentation. 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. Applications are reviewed by a distinguished international committee composed of artists, academics, and cultural leaders across disciplines.

Artist Statements are one of the most important and frustrating documents for an artist or company to create. One way of relieving the anxiety around writing one is to come to terms with the fact that it is not a final document and will never be complete. It is alive and changing for as long as the artist is making work. Still, it is an intense document to start as it is both succinct, needing to be under a page, and all-encompassing, needing to clearly state the artist's intention, history, and forms. Below we have gathered a few techniques to help get you started or to take the opportunity to update your already existing Artist Statement.

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:

VOICE Saturday 11th & Sunday 12th January 2020 Voice Training and Development are explored through the methodologies and techniques of the Roy Hart International Voice Centre, France. 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. This two-day workshop will introduce students to the techniques and exercises inherent in Roy Hart Vocal Training including diaphragmatic breathing, projection and breath control as well as focusing on the development of individual vocal range. Tutor: David Goldsworthy Workshop Fee: €150 To book online please click here MOVEMENT Monday 20th – Friday 24th January 2020 This workshop involves training in the discipline of Corporeal Mime. Corinne Soum combines the experience of having been a student and assistant of Etienne Decroux and having taught, developed and directed Corporeal Mime for more than 30 years. The training will include gestural grammar, body articulation, counterweights, walks and displacement in space, figures of style, mobile statuary, and musicality of movement. Extracts of the repertoire of Etienne Decroux will be taught during the workshop to fully experience this unique modern mythology of movement theatre. Participants will also explore the infinite possibilities of drawing from this repertoire to create personal work. Tutor: Corinne Soum Workshop Fee: €250 To book online please click here MASTERCLASS NOW THEN NOW Saturday 25th & Sunday 26th January 2020 with Louise Lowe, Co-Artistic Director of ANU The central question we ask of our audiences is ‘HOW DO YOU CHOOSE TO ENGAGE? 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. Our most recent productions include THE ANVIL (Manchester International Festival), FAULTLINE (co-production with The Gate Theatre as part of Dublin Theatre Festival 2019) THE LOST O’CASEY (co production with the Abbey Theatre, winner of 3 Irish Times Theatre Awards) and THESE ROOMS (London International Festival of Theatre & TATE Liverpool).

Welcome to our new partnership and podcast series, SLC Performance Lab. Contemporary Performance has partnered with the Sarah Lawrence College MFA Theatre Program to produce the SLC Performance Lab Podcast. The SLC Performance lab interviews visiting artists to the MFA Theatre Program’s Grad Lab, one of the core classes of the program where graduate students work with guest artists and develop group generated performance pieces each month. This Month’s guest is Jennifer Kidwell. Jennifer Kidwell’s (b. 1978) poignant, performer-driven theater work addresses the complexities of race and notions of American history with sharp intelligence and wry humor. Invested in probing challenging social and historical truths, Kidwell says her work is “concerned with discomfort and/or confusion around normative practices and systems.” With Scott Sheppard, she premiered and performed in Underground Railroad Game, lauded by The Philadelphia Inquirer as a “brilliant theatrical commentary on contemporary race relations.” A graduate of Pig Iron Theatre Company’s School for Advanced Performance Training, Kidwell created and appeared in the company’s Center-funded project, I Promised Myself to Live Faster, and The Wilma Theater’s production of Antigone. For the 2014 Whitney Biennial, she performed in Joe Scanlan’s provocative piece Dick’s Last Stand as the artist Donelle Woolford. She is co-artistic director of the theater company Lightning Rod Special and co-founder of the Brooklyn-based performance space JACK. She holds a BA in English and comparative literature from Columbia University. Listen to Jennifer Kidwell and Kyrie Ellison’s (SLC21) SLC Performance Lab below.

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.
