“Carrying Across:” Crossing Disciplines as a Form of ‘Translation’ (Interim magazine, Las Vegas NV, US) July 2019 Deadline: April 15th, 2019 Online Application: [https:] Fee to Participate or Apply: $3.00 Description Of Opportunity: For Interim’s July issue, we are seeking work that crosses disciplines in the form of “translation.” The origin of the word translate means “to carry across.” While translation usually occurs across languages, we are looking specifically for work that is carried across one art form to the other, or work that seeks to create new forms altogether. Perhaps you’ve created dance informed by the structure of a particular sonnet, or you’ve taken a famous dance or performance art piece you found inspiring and translated its rhythm, structure, and images into a poem. We are open to work produced in English as well as work produced in other languages that has been translated to English. If the poetry is written in another language and translated into English and then turned into a performance (or vice versa), we are happy to consider it. As with any translations, the original and the translated work should be submitted together (for both discipline translation and language translation). Collaborations and experimental work are very welcome here as we believe the truth is always experimental. Please make certain all collaborators are informed of the submission and general guidelines in terms of rights and rights reversion. We are looking for poetry in performative forms, performance in poetic forms, and anything that exists interstitially between poetry and performance. We are open to artwork, new media, and hybrid works of poetry. For reference, we define performance as any form of theater, dance, dance theater, movement theater, videos of dance and movement, and anything that falls under the umbrella of performance art. Artwork (paintings, drawings, sculpture) related to this theme will also be considered. Please familiarize yourself with our previous performance + poetry issue: Vol. 35, Issue 2 Poems and Translations of Writing Poetic Work: Submit three to six poems in a single document. Hybrid and Multimedia Work: Please include all work in a single file whenever possible. Artwork: Please upload up to six (6) high-res files containing your work, preferably in PNG or JPG format, 800-1500 pixels wide. For All Submissions: If any of the work included in your submission is accepted elsewhere, please withdraw the submission containing that file using Submittable. There is no need to notify us of withdrawals outside our Submittable account. Copyright and Permissions: If you are using music or translating another writer’s work across languages or disciplines, please make certain to gain permission to use this prior to submitting it to us. We take copyright seriously. We look forward to spending time with your work!

Call for artists: Performance Crossings 2019 (Prague) DEADLINE: 28th February 2019

» ‎ Contemporary Performance - Opportunities

Cross Attic & Holešovická Šachta Gallery invite you to present your artwork at performance art festival Performance Crossings, which will take place on 15th – 18th May 2019 in Prague. DEADLINE: Submission: 28th February APPLY: [https:] ][ ABOUT ][Performance Crossings 2019 is an international festival focusing on performance art and related art forms which for the third year presents artists from all around the world and opens the dialogue between artists and audience, between thoughts and their articulation. ][ DRAMATURGY ][Performance Crossings’ dramaturgy is based on presentation of various forms of performance art and related media. Through curating of artists working within different fields of performative art and coming from distinct sociocultural and political contexts, the festival creates a platform for mutual discussion about (performative) art, its borders and meaning. Performance art is a broad medium which includes in itself or is closely related to such art forms as live art, body art, long-durational art, site-specific art, installation, video art, dance, theatre or sound art. An important objective of Performance Crossings is to explore similarities and differences of performance art and other, so to say, befriended performative art fields. One of the Performance Crossings’ 2019 programme sections will be dedicated to the Anthropocene phenomena. We understand this topic as a possibility for the self-reflection in the way we think about ourselves, about the art practice and about the consequences of our impacts on the environment. ][ NETWORK ][Due to its relative marginality within the art scene, performance art tends to form communities of people who share the same interest. Despite their international character those groups often do not succeed in receiving a long-term support for their artistic activities. One of the aims of Performance Crossings is to facilitate a platform which would put together dispersed communities, create the base for the common collaboration and raise the awareness between the respective subjects. To form a network which would make the orientation within the performance art scene easier for both the artists and the audience. ][ FESTIVAL SECURES ][ Technical support Documentation (photos and video record of performance) Being part of emerging networking platform Festival brochure that will include selected list of festivals, organizations, etc whose work is related to the presentation or promotion of performance art Possible long-term collaboration within the Cross Attic program Accommodation (at local house / artists flat / or arranging discount in neighborhood hotels/hostels) Food Partial cover of material costs Letter of Intent and all support for travel / general funds ][ HOW TO APPLY ][You can easily apply by filling the online application form: [https:] ][ DEADLINE ][Submision: 28th February Results: 06th March ][ CONTACT ][Performance Crossings crew m.p. // Antonín Brinda // Heidi Hornáčková // Hana Pelánková // Klaudie OsičkováContact Klaudie // performance.crossings@gmail.com FacebookPerformance-crossings.comPerformance Crossings are organized by Cross Attic & Holešovická Šachta

Opportunities: Theertha Performance Platform – 2019 (Colombo-8) Deadline – 31st December 2018

» ‎ Contemporary Performance - Opportunities

Theertha Performance Platform – 2019 (Colombo-8) March 15 to 18th 2019 Deadline: 31st December 2018 Online Application: yes Fee to Participate or Apply: no Description Of Opportunity: Theertha Performance Platform 2019 OPEN CALL for participation Submission Deadline: December 30th 2018, Midnight Scheduled date : 15th March – 18th March 2019 The concept for 2019 Theertha Performance Platform Texting Being It’s been more than half a century since Derrida made his famous remark ‘il n’y a pas de horse-texte’, variously translated as ‘there is nothing outside of the text’, or, ‘there is no outside-text’. The remark itself gained notoriety, being accused of misdemeanors from textual idealism to political conservatism. Today, however, half a century later it seems, as if, the truth of this idea has returned with a vengeance, like the Freudian Thing, perhaps, even, with an ironical twist that would render Derrida himself uncomfortable. At a superficial level, on the one hand, our day-to-day existence is entirely assimilated into, and constantly bombarded by, the telecommunication and social media networks, allowing the affective totality of our beings to be transferred and circulated as texts and symbols that are rapidly unifying the whole of humanity into a single platform. Iconic here is the question asked by Facebook, every time one logs into his/her account: ‘What’s on your mind…?’ On the other hand, and more seriously, all these mutations at the level of subjectivity occurs on the backdrop of a globalized capital with its monetary signs, a system that is by its nature all-consuming, total and planetary, colonizing not only the places of the planet but also its disparate temporalities. The total dominance of the textual, one might claim, is now completed: il n’y a pas de horse-texte. Where does art fit in this picture? This is especially a question of singular relevance with regard to the still novel form of performance art. For, the quintessential medium of this form is the Body, which is canonically considered as the polar opposite of the Mind that works through and exist within our discursive, textual universes. One obvious response to this proposition, of course, is the classical Post-Structuralist position that takes the Body itself as a Sign, entirely overridden by the signifier, without any residue in the Real, a Body that is completely reduced to its symbolic function of meaning generation. This is, certainly, one possible way of interpreting medium of body in its various manifestations in performance art. This is, however, at the cost of reducing the singularity of this medium to one among an endless lines of objects that can stand in for the artistic idea, leaving behind, thereby, the materiality of the body as the Real that which resists, as Lacan famously puts it, Symbolization. How do we account for this duality, entanglement and intertwining of the Text and the Body, of the materiality of the Text and the materiality of the Body, in performance art? There may be various answers and there may even be productive dead-ends lying ahead on this path of explorations. What is certain is that these questions are the quintessential questions of contemporary existence, in an age of mediatized images and globalized capital. Theertha Performance Platform Theertha Performance Platform is part of Theertha International Artists Collective. The TPP has been in existence since 2015. We conduct regular workshops for art students and young artists. The TPP international performance event is a biennial event mainly concentrating on public space performances. About the Venue: The venue will be Theertha Gallery space and the adjoining area. There will be a public space for the main performance events which will be the Borella junction. Borella junction is an important area in Sri Lankan transportation map. This is one of the busiest junction in Colombo.

[https:] Expectation from participant artists: In this project the artists will have the opportunity to explore Sri Lankan culture, meeting local artists and people and tasting local foods. It is also expected that artists might focus on collaborations crossing the cultural boundaries, art practices and traditions in their performance framework and works. The artists will also be expected to make a brief presentation of their art practice and participate in workshops for students and young artists.

The ‘Make a Move’ project objective is to contribute to the revitalization of European theatre by mobilizing the unutilized creative and innovative potential of non-institutionalised and independent theatre practices, such as physical theatre, corporeal mime and improvisational theatre. The strategy to achieve this is to develop and test an innovative incubating environment in which noninstitutionalised and independent theatre practitioners will have the opportunity to develop their artistic and professional skills and grow their production proposals from the stage of creative ideas to different stages of production and promotion. The project will identify at least 5 new cooperation opportunities and initiate applications to sources of funding.

Opportunities: New Internationally-Situated MFA in Dance (Paris | Montpellier | Philadelphia) Deadline – January 14th

» ‎ Contemporary Performance - Opportunities

New Internationally-situated MFA in Dance (Paris | Montpellier | Philadelphia) Summer 2019 Deadline: January 14th Online Application: [https:] Fee to Participate or Apply: [https:] Description Of Opportunity: University of the Arts, Philadelphia MFA in Dance APPLICATION DEADLINE: January 14th, 2019 Apply Online –> The University of the Arts in Philadelphia has launched a new Master of Fine Arts (M.F.A.) program in Dance that extends the context of learning from the studio, theater and classroom to the international festival environment as a space for learning. Each summer the program departs from the traditional semester format by focusing instead on international residencies, workshops, and symposia that foster critical conversations about the meanings, purposes, and potentialities of dance and performance. Immersed in dynamic relationships created by the performances of artists from around the world, students will consider and develop practices, pedagogies and research models that value experimentation and continuously question the role of dance within and beyond the festival, exhibition and theater environments. Using the festival framework as a way to gather students, artists, and scholars with a wide range of practices, this program aims to foster new communities and networks of exchange for knowledge production and artistic practice within dance. Both rigorous and intensive, our approach relies on situational pedagogies and the gathering of relational communities. The program moves against conventional thinking about academic learning environments, utilizing the University of the Arts School of Dance’s longstanding relationships to and connections with world-recognized artists, scholars and cultural institutions. Challenging students to examine the role of dance and dance making in the community at large, the Field Study component of the program is built on the assumption that new practices are still in the making, and that the students will work alongside faculty mentors & community partners to create new methodologies. A Post-MFA Fellowship Program will provide support to graduates. The Fellowship Program is designed to expand potentialities through direct interplay of recent MFA graduates with communities and practitioners, both local and international. The fellowships set in motion a network of possibilities for sharing resources, scholarship and practices for future engagement between both the fellows and the participating partner organizations. Faculty, affiliated artists, and guest lecturers represent an intentionally diverse array of approaches to theorizing and practicing embodied knowledge in relation to citizenship and art-making. Our faculty and mentors include: Ric Allsopp, Rizvana Bradley, Douglas Becker, Donna Faye Burchfield, Thomas F. DeFrantz, Faustin Linyekula, Neta Pulvermacher, Ran Brown, Reggie Wilson, Jimena Paz, Doug Letheren, Emmanuelle Huynh, Niall Jones, Lauren Bakst, Jaamil Owale Kosoko, David Langstaff, Jesse Zaritt, Paul Matteson, Meredith Glisson, Jillian Peña, and Jeanine Durning. The MFA summer term will begin on June 16th and will run for roughly 6 weeks, with the program locating itself in Paris and Montpellier. The program departs from the traditional semester format by focusing instead international residencies, workshops and symposia that foster critical conversations about the meanings, purposes, and potentialities of dance and performance in contemporary society. We will begin the summer term with a four day Study Cycle Symposium curated by Rizvana Bradley, which will feature dynamic conversations between artists, choreographers, curators, movement practitioners, and students. Dr. Bradley’s 2018 Study Cycle Symposium, Dancing Politics, Moving Performance: Conversations at the Edges of Choreography, featured participants such as: nora chipaumire, Laura Cull, Maria Hassabi, Jenn Joy, Ralph Lemon, Paul Maheke, Erin Manning, Emily Roysdon, and Reggie Wilson. The M.F.A. program in Dance has three cohorts that are designed with specific creative practitioners in mind: 1) The Year-Residency Cohort is designed for highly motivated emerging artists with a strong interest in expanding their knowledge and experience in an uninterrupted way in an international setting. Applicants should have 3-5 years of experience beyond undergraduate study. 2) The Low-Residency Cohort is designed for mid-career artists, teachers and dance professionals who want to question their own work and re-evaluate their career trajectories. Applicants should have a minimum of 8-10 years of professional experience. 3) A Flex Track, tailored to meet the specific needs of individual practitioners on a case-by-case basis, and extending the duration of study from 15 to 22 months. How To Apply: All applicants are encouraged to apply early as the M.F.A. in Dance will be filled on a space-available basis. The deadline for application is January 14th. As international travel planning is required, completed applications received after February 1st and offered admissions may be subject to additional fees.

» ‎ Contemporary Performance - Opportunities

MA in Directing of Devised & Object Theatre (Prague) Academic Year 2018/2019 Deadline: 15.02.2019 Online Application: [https:] LEARN NEW WAYS TO DO THEATRE, CREATE YOUR OWN WORK & MAKE CONNECTIONS! (deadline to apply: February 15th!) MA Degree in Directing of Devised & Object Theatre is 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 the 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 a direct connection to the 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 How To Apply: For more information about the course, fees, application please visit: [https:] LIST YOUR OPPORTUNITIES: Share your open calls, commissions, grants, workshops, classes, festivals, and more with the network.

» ‎ Contemporary Performance - Opportunities

Eva Yaa Asantewaa Grant For US Based Queer Women(+) Dance Artists Deadline – Oct. 21, 2018 Application: Online Queer|Art, NYC’s home for the creative and professional development of LGBTQ artists, is proud to introduce the Eva Yaa Asantewaa Grant for Queer Women(+) Dance Artists. The new $10,000 grant will be awarded US-based artists for making cutting-edge dance and movement-based performance work. Women(+): The Eva Yaa Asantewaa Grant employs an expansive definition of the word “woman.” Queer|Art strongly encourages self-identified women, gender-nonconforming, and non-binary artists to apply. The Eva Yaa Asantewaa Grant for Queer Women(+) Dance Artists is a new grant awarded to artists for making cutting-edge dance and/or movement-based performance work. The 2018 grant is administered through Queer|Art by women(+) for women(+), including an intergenerational panel of judges from New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Named in honor of visionary dance curator, critic, and educator Eva Yaa Asantewaa, the grant seeks to highlight the important contributions queer women have made to dance throughout history. Applications for the Eva Yaa Asantewaa Grant for Queer Women(+) Dance Artists are open September 6th – October 21th, 2018. Funds can be requested to support work at any stage of development, from concept to presentation. Qualifying work may be dance and/or movement-based performance work of any format. The awardee will be announced in November. “Folks who care about the art of dance—an art of the moving body in time and space—try to preserve its wonders against disappearance,” Yaa Asentewaa writes. “In a society ambivalent about, and sometimes hostile to, both the body and its artistry, lovers of dance honor the body in all of its variations, its rich stories, its wisdom and creative expression. With this award, we seek to record and honor the creative innovation and labor of queer women dance artists. To acknowledge them as full humans and artists informed and nourished by love, by experience, and by culture. To support and revere our artists for exactly and completely who they are; so they know a fierce community of peers, elders, and ancestors has got their back; and to make our world a safer, more empowering place for queer artists and, in truth, for all artists and for all people.” Eva Yaa Asantewaa is Senior Curatorial Director of Gibney, New York’s acclaimed center for dance and social activism. She won the 2017 Bessie Award for Outstanding Service to the Field of Dance as a veteran writer, curator and community educator. Since 1976, she has contributed writing on dance to Dance Magazine, The Village Voice, SoHo Weekly News, Gay City News, The Dance Enthusiast, Time Out New York, and other publications. Ms. Yaa Asantewaa joined the curatorial team for Danspace Project’s “Platform 2016: Lost and Found” and created the skeleton architecture, or the future of our worlds, an evening of group improvisation featuring 21 black women and gender-nonconforming performers. Her cast was awarded a 2017 Bessie for Outstanding Performer. As EYA Projects, she has begun partnerships with organizations such as Gibney, Abrons Arts Center, Dance/NYC, BAX, and Dancing While Black to curate and facilitate Long Table conversations on topics of concern in the dance/performance community. She was a member of the inaugural faculty of Montclair State University’s MFA in Dance program and has also served on the faculty for New England Foundation for the Arts’ Regional Dance Development Initiative Dance Lab 2016 for emerging Chicago-area dance artists. In May 2017, she served on the faculty for the Maggie Allesee National Center for Choreography’s inaugural Forward Dialogues Dance Lab for Emerging Choreographers.

Opportunities: Open Call – OPERA PRIMA 2018 (Rovigo, Italy) Deadline – 14th July 2018

» ‎ Contemporary Performance - Opportunities

OPERA PRIMA 2018 (Rovigo, Italy) from the 13th to the 16th September 2018 Deadline: 14th July 2018 Online Application: [https:] Fee to Participate or Apply: free Description Of Opportunity: The call is opened to single artists or emerging and independent professional companies that work with professional purposes in the field of contemporary theatre, dance and performing arts. Deadline: 14th July 2018 Premises Nine years after its last edition, Opera Prima Festival is going to come back in Rovigo (I)from the 13th to the 16th September 2018. The Festival is organized by Association Festival Opera Prima ets in collaboration with Teatro del Lemming and the Culture Department of the Municipality of Rovigo and with the support of Cassa di Risparmio di Padova e Rovigo Foundation and of the Italian Ministry of Culture and Tourism. Born in Rovigo in 1994 under the artistic direction of Teatro del Lemming, Festival Opera Prima became immediately an event able to lead to critical attention a new theatrical generation that, in the 90s, was completely excluded from the Italian theatre scene. OPERA PRIMA became a “home” and a reference point for this generation, that soon proclaimed itself “Generation of the Invisible Theatres”. The Festival was really important to support those artists stand out. In recognition of this activity, in 1996 the Festival was the winner of the UBU “Giuseppe Bartolucci” prize, awarded by a jury led by the critic Franco Quadri. Coherently with its history, this new edition of Opera Prima wants to host and enhance the multiplicity of trends and researches in European theatre scene. It also wants to represent a bridge between different theatrical generations: in addition to the performances selected by this call, every year there will be four important artists or European historical theatre groups, that have to invite to the festival an unknown young artist or an unknown young group. Object This call for entries is open to groups or artists that practice experimental theatre throughout Europe.We consider EXPERIMENTAL THEATRE those pieces that really question the different elements of theatre as the dramaturgy, the actor, the role of the spectator and the scenic space. In other words, experimental theatre is all that unconventional theatre pursuing the autonomy of scenic language from a written play; the redefinition of the scenic space; the reformulation of the role and the gaze of the spectator; an original actors’ training; a bond that connects the actors to the company’s project. Participation requirements The call is open to individual or groups of Italian and European artists operating in the field of theatre and performing arts, structured in any legal form that allows them to fulfill the administrative and bureaucratic practices necessary to finalize their performance. Only artistic projects that conduct an experimentation with scenic languages, according to the points mentioned above, are eligible for selection. The Festival artistic direction selects original works that have not been yet performed, as well as works that have already had their debut, but which have not yet reached an adequate circulation and/or visibility. Publication of results The association “Festival Opera Prima” will contact the representative person of the selected performances once the selection process has been completed. Conditions The selected performances are going to be included in the 2018 edition of Festival Opera Prima. All expenses and practices concerning copyrights, organization, communication, staff, promotion of the event will be in charge of the organization of the Festival. At each selected company will be paid, after the presentation of an invoice, a fee that has to be agreed. To the people working in the performance will be guaranteed the possibility of lodging at an affiliated guest house. Calendar and venue of performance All the performances will take place from the 13th to the 16th of September 2018 in Rovigo inside the venues used by the Festival. The performances can even be realized in unconventional locations or outdoor. The artistic direction could ask the selected companies to realize more repetitions of the performance. Obligations Selected candidates commit to: support the promotion of FESTIVAL OPERA PRIMA throughout their channels (website, social, press office…); respect Festival praxis regarding set-up times and rules; perform the selected work on the agreed day or days. Participation in the announcement implies full acceptance of this regulation. The organization reserves the right to decide on issues not expected by this regulation. How To Apply: Submissions have to include: The artistic curriculum of the company or of the artist; Artistic form and technical specifications of the performance; link to the full video of the performance (if the proposal consists of a debut, link to previous works). All the submissions have to be sent by e-mail to: operaprimafestival@gmail.com having on the object of the mail “Submission to Opera Prima Festival 2018” by 12.00 pm on the 14th July 2018.

We want to continue the pursuit of an universal language capable of connecting our nowadays audience with its present, connected with its past and that let them project their world to the future. Quantum physics ideas such as quantum, multiverse, observer, mass-energy; NLP – neuro-linguistic programming – , as well as the introduction of new technologies and the use of traditional music are some of the basis that will set our path. This work sessions aims to go further not only living through action, thus freeing the creator to be able to transcend, but also in the dramaturgy of the action, defying the relationship with the audience through our bodies, the time and the space. The Roots We choose “the roots” as the subject of this II work session, in both senses: the source or origin and the essencial part. Some of the question that could guide our session are: – Which is our essence as human beings? Which is our origin / essencial part? – Which is our essence as creators? – Where do we come from? – Is there any universal connexion with our past? – What still remains in our present from our ancesters? – Are those origins able to connect creator and audience? – Which is the essencial part to connect with the audience? How To Apply: The OPEN CALL will close on 15th July 2018. The participants will be selected by 31st July 2018. The International Work Session, within the trans-borders laboratory, will take place from 5th to 9th September in Barcelona (Catalonia) at the La Vilella Teatre. In order to enroll it is necessary to send an email to produccio@ciasargantana.cat with: – Letter of motivation. – CV – Example of your work, in the format that suits the best to you (non-mandatory but helpful).

Performing Art 3 Days / Prolegomena and Hawsers (Teatro Rossi Aperto, Pisa, Italy) 28.29.30 – 06 – 2018 Deadline: 23:59 / 31st May 2018 Online Application: [https:] Fee to Participate or Apply: Free Description Of Opportunity: Performing Art 3 Days / Prolegòmeni e Gómene Collettivo Superazione – Teatro Rossi Aperto in Pisa, Italy 28.29.30 – 06 – 2018 Starting from a free analysis of the concept of /Prolegòmeni e Gómene (Prolegomena and Hawsers)/, the artists are asked to develop that topic in the form of a performance, in accordance with the following Regulation. The performance shall be played live during the 3 days Performing Arts Festival which will take place at Teatro Rossi Aperto in Pisa. Prolegòmeni e Gómene (Prolegomena and Hawsers) Prolegòmeni – esplanatory dissertations introducing a theory, the subject of a study, a doctrine. Gómene – twisted hemp hawsers, mooring ropes for boats. Hence: a line of words meant to validate other words, to unite or divide; a material line supported by gestures, to leave or land. Prolegòmeni e Gómene, they have much in common in addition to the wonderful and suggestive assonance of the terms; they show two different yet similar relational ways implying a motion which is both approaching and detaching. Thoughts have a long way to go before recognizing the docking (or sailing) place in a harbour, in a location with a sense of unknown, belonging, somebody. Much of the definite motion, be it leaving or coming back, becomes more precise through reasoning and speculation. Individual behaviours leading to collective meanings cannot help introducing personal thoughts and actions. It can happen in art, inside or outside the “polis”, but it’s always part of an adventure. How To Apply: 1 – Criteria for participation The call is open to single artists or groups working with contemporary languages in the field of performances. Both unpublished projects and projects that have already been shown will be accepted, provided that they are suitable to be played in the non-conventional spaces of Teatro Rossi Aperto and relevant to the proposed theme.

This workshop emphasizes the role of the actor as a storyteller. Students collaborate to devise a script (dialogue and movement) to tell the story of the disappearance of Jim Thompson. The Gister Method is used to focus on character development and interactions with other actors as they share in telling this story. Some of the devising strategies covered in the workshop are idea mapping, research, storyboarding, improvisation, rapid prototyping, iteration, and an open frame works approach to rehearsal. Acting is taught by Loni Berry. He is the artistic director of Culture Collective Studio, is from the United States and holds graduate degrees from Brown University and the Yale School of Drama.

Buffer Fringe Performing Arts Festival V Open Call (Nicosia, Cyprus) 1-4 November 2018 Deadline: 06/04/2018 Online Application: [home4cooperation.info] Fee to Participate or Apply: Applicants do not have to pay any costs to participate or apply. Description Of Opportunity: Buffer Fringe Performing Arts Festival’s programming offers both local and international artists a platform to showcase their work and is organized in a way that artists can meet and interact both amongst themselves and with the audiences in a true 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. For this year’s edition of the festival, we particularly welcome performances that deal with the concept of a “Breaking Point”, exploring the theme on a broader social, global, or very intimate and personal level. «Breaking Point» The point at which a situation becomes critical, the point at which an entity gives way under stress, or the point at which something loses its force or validity. We are looking for all forms of experimental performance work and physical- visual- and devised- theater formats, which can contain (but are not limited to) drama, music, dance, acrobatics, installation/visual art and other cross-disciplinary elements. We are particularly interested in participatory, durational and/or site-specific formats. While we accept performances in all languages (surtitles in English must be made available), we also encourage work that does not exclusively rely on language. Support: Buffer Fringe 2018 is offering a fee of up to €800, an 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. A selection of 2-3 festival performances – selected by a committee of local and international performing arts professionals – will be given the opportunity to tour around Cyprus (and/or internationally to a selected European Partner Festival) as part of the Festivals ‘Buffer Fringe on Tour’ format. How To Apply: Interested applicants can apply via filling out the application form here: [home4cooperation.info] The application forms should be sent to admin@home4cooperation.info. Requirements/parameters: · Duration between 30’ to 70’ minutes (Exceptions are durational and/or Loop performances) · Minimal Technical Requirements and works that are adaptable to unusual venues/stages (Please supply a technical rider and fill out the section ‘Production Details’) · If language is used, English subtitles must be available for the performance Contact Email:communications@home4cooperation.info Website: [home4cooperation.info] LIST YOUR OPPORTUNITIES: Share your open calls, commissions, grants, workshops, classes, festivals, and more with the network.

Opportunities: Indigenous Choreographers at Riverside Gathering 2018 (UC Riverside, CA) Deadline – 04/27/2018

» ‎ Contemporary Performance - Opportunities

INDIGENOUS CHOREOGRAPHERS AT RIVERSIDE 2018 Gathering (University of California, Riverside; Riverside, CA, United States) April 27 – May 6, 2018 Deadline: 04/27/2018 Online Application: [icr.ucr.edu] Fee to Participate or Apply: 0 Description Of Opportunity: Dancing Toward a Future Rooted in Ancestral Knowledge Dance artists from Guatemala, Mexico, New Zealand, and the United States will offer dance performances and workshops at UC Riverside. Indigenous dancers from across the globe will unite at the University of California, Riverside for a two-week interdisciplinary dance experience. Dance artists from Guatemala, Mexico, New Zealand, and the United States will offer dance performances and workshops at the seventh-annual Indigenous Choreographers at Riverside Gathering(ICR) set to take place from April 27 to May 6. All events are free and open to the public. The annual ICR event is meant to create a space where indigenous dance artists can come together to share work, connect with each other, and – along with invited scholars, UCR students, and community members – discuss the social, political, and historical implications of indigenous dance, said UCR’s Jacqueline Shea Murphy, ICR’s creator and associate professor of critical dance studies in UCR’s Department of Dance. This year’s two-week ICR gathering is being produced in collaboration with the annual UCR Native American Student Program’s annual Medicine Ways Conference. Shea Murphy is co-directing this year’s event with María Regina Firmino-Castillo, assistant professor in UCR’s Department of Dance, and with the guidance of Jack Gray and Rulan Tangen, world renowned indigenous dance leaders. This year’s featured artist is Grupo Sotz’il, a Guatemalan eight-member Kaqchikel and Mam Maya music and dance collective formed in 2000. These eight members created Grupo Sotz’il as a way to strengthen knowledge and arts, two components the artists say have been suppressed in Guatemala since the Spanish invasion in 1524, and through decades of recent genocidal and neocolonial violence against Guatemala’s 24 indigenous nations. The internationally renowned group presents multi sensory dance works that reflect the present and envision the future, while being firmly rooted in the knowledge of their ancestors. The group has won many awards, and recently performed at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian. Their presentation at UCR is part of an international project funded by New England Foundation for the Arts National Dance Project with its prestigious annual touring award. Grupo Sotz’il will be in residence at UCR for two weeks performing original dance and music, offering workshops, and participating in the ICR’s scholarly dialogues. The 2018 ICR program opens with a video screening, lecture-demonstration, and conversation with Grupo Sotz’il on Friday, April 27, at 7 p.m. at the Culver Center of the Arts in downtown Riverside. On Thursday, May 3, 6:30 p.m., also at the Culver, Grupo Sotz’il members will take part in a dance and ceremony exchange with invited national and international dance artists, including: Will Madrigal and the Mountain Cahuilla Bird Singers; Lukas Avendaño; Louise Potiki Bryant; Jack Gray; Sam Mitchell; Rulan Tangen; and Ni’Ja Whitson. Among the invited artists’ recent honors are UCR assistant professor Ni’Ja Whitson’s 2017 Bessie Award, Rulan Tangen’s 2018 Kennedy Center Citizen Artist Fellow Recognition Award, and New Zealand-based Louise Potiki Bryant’s 2016 Harriet Friedlander Residency. Potiki Bryant is also a visiting assistant professor in the UCR Dance Department this spring. Colloquia, workshops, and lecture-demonstrations scheduled as part of this year’s ICR gathering include a writers workshop on Friday, April 4. This day-long event will bring renowned indigenous dance artists and scholars, including choreographer Emily Johnson and scholar Karyn Recollet, to campus to work together on a proposed new anthology on Critical Indigenous Dance Studies. These events culminate on May 5 at 6 p.m. when Grupo Sotz’il will perform “Uk’u’x Ulew: Heart of Earth” at UCR’s R’Garden near lot 30. This 60-minute original performance and ritual will feature fire, water, earth, and air simultaneously interacting in harmony and conflict. From their collusion and collision, K’aslemal, life, is born. Shea Murphy envisioned and started building the ICR project many years ago. Noting how indigenous perspectives were largely omitted in the emerging field of dance studies, despite the influence of indigenous dance in modern dance, moved Shea Murphy to dedicate her research to critical indigenous dance studies and to create spaces such as the ICR. “ICR grew from my having that sense that, even though throughout my adult life I had only been taught one way of seeing the world, what had been presented to me as truth was in fact far from it,” said Shea Murphy, who has engaged with indigenous dance for more than 20 years.

SURFACES FESTIVAL (Venice) 26-27th May 2018 Deadline: 04/15/2018 Online Application: [www.itsliquid.com] Fee to Participate or Apply: FREE Description Of Opportunity: ITSLIQUID GROUP is proud to announce SURFACES FESTIVAL, that will be presented in Venice from 26-27th May 2018 to 25th November 2018 at THE ROOM Contemporary Art Space, Palazzo Ca’ Zanardi and other prestigious venues and historical buildings, during the same period of the BIENNALE ARCHITETTURA 2018 – 16th International Architecture Exhibition. SURFACES FESTIVAL consists of 3 main exhibitions focused on different themes: BODIES (May 26 – July 12, 2018), PLACES (July 27 – September 13, 2018), and SPACES (September 28 – November 25, 2018); an Experimental division dedicated to video-art and performing art and the Venice Architecture Academy. The festival analyzes the idea of human and urban places, how people live them and how they are modified in contemporary society. Every human being lives in a world in which surfaces shape their attitudes and behaviors, limiting freedom and creating a sense of alienation. The man reacts breaking the limits and finding a new way of life. We imagine a world of “liquid bodies and cities“, where differences create new possibilities, developing new structures, phisical, intellectual and spiritual. The festival aims to analyze the relationship between body and space in contemporary time. More info:� [www.itsliquid.com] Deadline for applications is April 15, 2018 (11.59 PM of your local time).

Opportunities: Open Call – New Settings Grant From The Fondation d’entreprise Hermès (Worldwide) Deadline – 06/01/2018

» ‎ Contemporary Performance - Opportunities

New Settings, the Fondation d’entreprise Hermès

Open Call – New Settings Grant From The Fondation d’entreprise Hermès (Worldwide) 2019 Deadline: 06/01/2018 Online Application: [www.fondationdentreprisehermes.org] Fee to Participate or Apply: FREE Description Of Opportunity: With New Settings, the Fondation d’entreprise Hermès supports each year the creation and diffusion of new performance works. The chosen projects all feature crossovers of some kind or another: playing on the porosity of the boundary between performing arts and visual arts, their creators experiment with original and unusual forms. A series of imperatives has guided New Settingssince its inauguration in 2011: to listen to the concerns and needs of artists and back them at every step of their journey, from the studio to the stage; to support original writing and unexpected forms, and the artistic daring of the creators of each project, be they seasoned artists or young talents; to encourage encounters and crossovers by visual artists looking to develop their actions and gestures in the spatiotemporal context of the stage, and by performing artists seeking to integrate a plastic dimension into their practice. The productions supported by New Settings are selected through an annual call for projects that is addressed to artists worldwide, as well as through discussions held with the various partners of the programme. The Foundation accompanies projects from their production phase onwards and proposes performance dates with partner institutions in the Ile-de-France: the Théâtre de la Cité internationale, the Festival d’Automne in Paris, the Théâtre Nanterre-Amandiers, the Théâtre de la Ville and the Centre Pompidou. Some projects are also presented in the United States thanks to the Foundation’s links with the FIAF-French Institute Alliance Française in New York. Taking a close interest in the creative process, the Fondation d’entreprise Hermès is also eager to share these works with a broad public and to facilitate their understanding and appreciation. It is with this in mind that each year the Foundation commissions a special critical supplement from artpress magazine that explores the season’s New Settings programme and is distributed free of charge at performance venues. How To Apply: COMPETITION RULES AND CONDITIONS You are submitting an application to the Fondation d’entreprise Hermès for participation in the New Settings programme. New Settings supports hybrid performing arts projects rooted in potent dialogue with the visual and/or digital arts. The programme supports productions exploring innovative audience engagement and interaction, at the crossroads of artistic vocabularies and disciplines. Often, the supported projects take a fresh approach to the theatrical environment, developing new ways to make use of the space of the stage, objects, sound and the body. The Fondation d’entreprise Hermès is committed to the highest artistic standards while remaining sensitive to artists’ needs in a spirit of complete openness to new theatrical forms. Selected projects will be supported through their production phase, until their presentation on selected dates proposed by the Foundation and its partner cultural institutions in Paris and the broader Paris region, for the autumn 2019 season. The Fondation d’entreprise Hermès has formed a partnership with the French Institute / Alliance française (FIAF) to bring selected shows to the annual Crossing the Line Festival in New York, under the New Settings banner. Your application must fulfill the following criteria: The visual arts dimension of the performing arts project must be dominant. To do this, the project can be: the result of a creative collaboration between one or several performing artists and one or several visual artists (in the framework of a new collaboration) a work by a performing artist or a visual artist, on condition that the author(s) is committed to: a piece that mixes performing arts and visual arts, a visual arts piece brought to the stage, a performing arts piece including a visual arts problematic. The author(s) can make use of digital technology. The project must propose new ways of working in the process of creating the piece and/or in its relationship to the public. The project must be designed for an audience of at least 100 people. The piece must be ready for its premiere between the months of January and December 2019. Performance art created for exhibition spaces is not eligible.Your application must include the following information and elements: The completed project identification form. A presentation of the work. A presentation of the artistic team. The production budget (expenses and revenues). Costs for between two and five performances. Confirmation letter(s) from confirmed partner(s). Tour schedule (confirmed and prospective dates). For performing artists, a video of their two most recent productions. For visual artists, a file presenting their previous projects. Conditions for sending your application: Applications must include each of the elements demanded for application, compiled in the order specified above, in a single PDF document. Please upload your completed PDF application file by pasting a single WeTransfer link in the “Applications” section of the Fondation d’entreprise Hermès website:� [www.fondationdentreprisehermes.org] Video files will be accepted as separate attachments in the WeTransfer link (but candidates are encouraged to include online video links in their application). It is recommended to avoid files exceeding 15MB. The deadline for receiving applications is 12 p.m. on July 1, 2018. Candidates are advised to take into account the time needed for electronic transmission in order to ensure the arrival of their application before the date and hour limit. The Foundation cannot be held responsible for the late reception of applications due to technical or computer problems encountered by the candidate. Calendar for the 9th edition (2019) March 6 to July 1, 2018: submission of applications October 2018: results announced Autumn 2018 – Autumn 2019: support of project September – December 2019: performance of the supported projects in Paris or the Paris region. September – October 2020: performance of a selection of New Settings projects at the Crossing the Line Festival, in a dedicated showcase highlighting the New Settings programme. Frequently asked questions: What address and contact details should I provide on the form? Please provide contact details for the producers of the production you are submitting for support as part of the New Settings programme. Individual contact names are at the discretion of the artist/author or the project’s main producer. Please ensure you provide complete, current postal addresses, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses. I’m a young artist and not much of my work has been produced and shown in public. Can I apply? The New Settings programme accompanies “emerging” artists as well as established ones, in France and internationally. We invite you to visit our website to see which artists have been supported in the past. Should I indicate the amount that I wish the Fondation d’entreprise Hermès to contribute in my production budget? Yes. Your production budget should include all the costs involved in mounting your production (the expenses). Next to this you must list your provisional financing plan (the revenues). The amount that you are requesting from the Fondation d’entreprise Hermès should be clearly indicated in the second part. Is the Foundation’s support for New Settings projects capped per project? The Fondation d’entreprise Hermès gives made-to-measure support. Each project is thus supported according to its needs and its economic overview, within the resources of the programme. This is why it is important to provide us with a detailed production budget with the amount of support that you are requesting in the “revenues” column. My project doesn’t involve Parisian partners. Can I apply? Yes. If you are selected and you do not have a partner in the Paris region, the Fondation d’entreprise Hermès will offer you performance dates in the autumn of 2019 at one of our partner cultural institutions. Must I reserve the show’s premiere for New Settings? No. The premiere of the selected productions can be with another of the project’s partners, in France or abroad. If my project is selected for New Settings, will I definitely be putting it on in New York? Only a few of the New Settings projects are presented each year in New York. The choice of productions presented as part of the Crossing the Line Festival is the fruit of a constant dialogue between the Fondation d’entreprise Hermès and the FIAF – French Institute Alliance Française. It may also involve projects supported by previous editions of New Settings. Must I send videos of entire productions or are extracts sufficient? We encourage you to send two versions of each video when this is possible: the recording of the entire show and a trailer. We believe that it is easier to immerse oneself in the work of an artist when it is possible to see their works in their entirety. We recommend that you send these videos in the form of links. How can I track the progress of my application? The Fondation d’entreprise Hermès guarantees to contacting all candidates by telephone, or by post. It is essential that you provide your complete, current postal address, telephone number and e-mail. All candidates for the current call for projects will be notified by late October 2018. Who to contact if I am having trouble while submitting my application? Should you require assistance submitting your application, please send all questions to fondation.newsettings@hermes.com. We will get back to you as soon as possible. Please note all questions must be submitted prior to July 1, 2018.

Opportunities: SPILL Festival of Performance (London) Deadline – 04/04/2018

» ‎ Contemporary Performance - Opportunities

SPILL Festival of Performance (London) October 25 – November 4, 2018 Deadline: 04/04/2018 Online Application: [https:] Fee to Apply: Free Description Of Opportunity: New for 2018, the SPILL OPEN is aimed at early makers and artists whose practices may have been overlooked, regardless of age, working in between or across forms, and with something meaningful to say. It offers 20 opportunities for exceptional artists or groups to present work as part of SPILL Festival this Autumn. We aim to support makers whose work is grounded in generosity – to audiences, peers and cultural dialogues. The SPILL OPEN replaces the SPILL National Platform, which ran from 2009 to 2016 in London and Ipswich. When we created the SPILL National Platform it was a deliberate opening up of politicised, high-visibility space for artists creating new performance at a time when artist-led contextualised opportunities for live art were seriously limited across the country. During the years it ran the National Platform supported 148 artists and groups, to audiences of thousands. Now, just a decade on, everything has changed. A new generation of artists are active within the field of performance who were kids when SPILL started. Some have studied live art at college or university before becoming makers, producers and commentators. Coupled with the widespread integration of social media, we observe a significant shift in what live art is and where it gets created. And Brexit has prompted us to re-question notions of nationhood and national provision. We also observe huge potential in the hybrid results artists are achieving by deliberately working across forms, blending concerns and disciplines in new and exciting ways. As a result, we have taken the learning from a decade of making the SPILL National Platform and built the SPILL OPEN in its place. The SPILL OPEN is open to artists of any age, based anywhere, undertaking considered formal experimentation and / or investigation through research, that seek to offer some new ways of looking or thinking about the world and how we are in it together. It will support work which is considered and meaningful. We are also keen to hear from people specifically developing new forms tailored to the needs of kids or teenagers. Applications are welcome from people working with, across or in between: Activist Actions Cabaret + Club Arts Craft + Folk Methods Digital Experimental Theatre Film + Video Heritage + Place Installation Live Art + Performance Museum Collections New Dance Science + Social Sciences Sound + Music Spoken Word Street Art Text Visual Art Walking Each artist or company selected for the SPILL OPEN will receive support totalling £2000 • A fee of £750 • A contribution towards travel • Accommodation at the festival • Per diems • A package of producing, technical and marketing support • High quality photographic and video documentation plus inclusion in SPILL TV SPILL 2018 will take place between Thursday 25th October and Sunday 4th November at venues and sites across Ipswich, England. How To Apply: THREE KEY STEPS Please read SPILL OPEN – Guidelines for Applicants 2018 before completing your application form SPILL OPEN applicants may find the SPILL OPEN toolkit a useful resource – be sure to read it before applying. To apply, please complete this APPLICATION FORM.

Opportunities: ADAM Artist Lab 2018 – OPEN CALL (Taipei, Taiwan) Deadline – 03/10/2018

» ‎ Contemporary Performance - Opportunities

ADAM Artist Lab 2018 – OPEN CALL (Taipei, Taiwan) August 15 -29, 2018 Deadline: 03/10/2018 Online Application: Fee to Apply: FREE Description Of Opportunity: Initiated and organized by the Taipei Performing Arts Center, the 2nd edition of ADAM (Asia Discovers Asia Meeting for Contemporary Performance) will be held in Taipei in 2018. ADAM is a brand new network committed to deepening exchanges between artists, facilitating their artistic development, and strengthening inter-cultural collaborations. Artist Lab, at the heart of ADAM, is a two-week residency program in Taipei. Through a series of activities and discussions, artists can foster their ideas and practice. The collaborative nature of the program allows artists to develop friendships and pave the way for future partnerships. In 2018, Artist Lab will be curated by the artists Ding-Yun Huang (Taipei) and Henry Tan (Bangkok), who participated in the Lab in 2017. STATEMENT Performativity of the in-Between We claim ourselves as artists because we make art. But, when we get rid of this identity or refuse to use it, is our practice still art? What makes it different in between? If the identity of artist is a medium, and the everyday experiences and surroundings have been what artists get inspired, observe, and contemplate to respond to and produce something. What exactly is the reason we call what we produce as art? The practices of arts today have been beyond disciplines, media and genres. Furthermore, between all these fields, there seems to be a priori feature for artists to discover, state, define, and interpret. When we indicate a work of art as performance, because it’s performative. However, a performative work is not necessary a piece of performance. What makes it different in between? Does it depend on how artists or spectators perceive, the condition of performance space, or the process of fictionalization and representation? We can’t really signify the key component. On the contrary, what are we based on when we say a work of art is not performance? Questioning the performativity in between will be unfolding our dialogue in the Artist Lab. We try to illustrate the possibilities of performativity between the identity of artists, self-practices in life, the certification of a performance space and the necessity of spectator. Ultimately, we will take“what is performance” as a point of departure in the Artist Lab, to approach the ambiguity and diversity of performativity. Program Period: Artist Lab: 15 -29 August 2018 ADAM Annual Meeting: 30 August to 2 September 2018 ADAM Lab artists will join the public sharing at ADAM Annual Meeting, as part of its program. How To Apply: The Eligibility The call is internationally open for 10 artists from across performing, visual arts and other disciplines, who have performance/performativity-related practices and the strong interest in connecting with the Asian cultural scene, building network, working collectively with artists from diverse disciplines to invent new ideas. ※ Artists in New Zealand please submit the application through Creative New Zealand [www.creativenz.govt.nz] Support • Roundtrip economy transportation to and from Taipei. • Accommodation (arrival on 15 August and departure on 3 September 2018) • Artist fee and per-diem Application Package 1.

Opportunities: Residency at USF Verftet Begen (Bergen, Norway) Deadline – 03/01/2018

» ‎ Contemporary Performance - Opportunities

Residency at USF Verftet Begen (Bergen, Norway) 2018-2019 Deadline: 03/01/2018 Online Application: [https:] Fee to Apply: FREE Description Of Opportunity: USF Verftet and the council of Bergen offers a residency to professional artists of all fields. The aim is to strengthen, promote and develop collaborations between contemporary artists in Bergen and foreign artists. Next application deadline is 1st of March 2018 for residencies through 2019. Who can apply The residency is open to professional, foreign artists of all fields: visual artists, writers, curators, craft artists, writers, film directors, film makers, dancers, choreographers, stage performers, performance artists, composers, musicians, audio and new media artists. The residence is open to all international artists, but not to norwegian citizens or artists living in Norway. What does AiR Bergen at USF Verftet have to offer There are two studios and two small apartments available. These are situated at USF Verftet, an old sardine factory converted into a large and diverse arts- and culture centre. More about studios and apartments here. We offer a 3 months residency at USF Verftet in a rent free studio and additional accommodation. What does the residency demand of the visiting artist All expences (other than studio and accommodation) such as living costs, travel, materials, insurance and transport must be covered by the artist. The artist must apply for possible funding from her / his own home country. There is no Norwegian funding related to this residency. The selected artist must be prepared to be quite self-reliant. We are running the residency on tight administrative resources. However we are doing our best to set up contacts and network, and the Bergen art scene is a very open-minded and friendly one. We want the artists to achieve the most out of their stay, and the city of Bergen and Bergen’s artist environments to enjoy the company and knowledge of the guest artist. This is our main goal. Important: The visiting artist must speak and write english. What to expect The USF house is privately owned, and the artists here are renting individually from the house owner. Do not expect an artist-run/communal environment in the house. This can be found at other venues in the city. The art and culture activity changes during the year. Summer; from around mid-June to mid-August is very quiet. The activity really drops to a minimum during this time. The USF also goes quiet, and it’s the office holiday time as well. A good time for concentration for the visiting artists, but not the best time for a rich social and cultural life. Then it picks up, and September, October, November are very culturally rich months. From around mid-December it slows down again, before it picks up in mid-January with a peak in May – June. How To Apply: Application The application must consist of the application form, project proposal for the residency period and artist statement, updated cv, documentation of work. Current work is requested. Incomplete applications will not be considered. Please note our aim in your application process: “The aim is to strengthen, promote and develop a collaboration between contemporary artists in Bergen and foreign artists.” We prefer the application to be sent electronically through the application form. Please limit your documentation to maximum 5 MB. If you are sending video material, please refer to downloading sites like Vimeo, YouTube etc. If you do have a personal updated website, it is accepted as application material for documentation of work, cv etc. The application deadline is 1st of March every year for residencies the following year.

The town of Skagen is the northernmost town in Denmark and located on the top of the Jutland peninsula. It is widely known for the Scandinavian artist colony ‘Skagensmalerne’, who gathered and worked in Skagen from the late 1870s until the turn of the century. Skagen’s architecture history is popularly referred to as ”black, yellow, red” based on the color of the building mass over three periods of time. But the architecture in Skagen is far more than just the colors of the buildings, and the colors of the buildings are far more than just black, yellow and red. The architecture and history of Skagen is exciting, colorful and filled with clashes and meetings between people. For example, meetings between local fishermen and traveled artists. Two groups of people who together and in their own way have put their mark on the city and not least the physical frameworks, which today are an important and very visible part of Skagen. The workshop aims to illuminate the town’s architectural and historical development seen through the eyes of current architects, designers and artists. The worldfamous architect Jørn Utzon created a unique architectural building in Skagen. The purpose was to house exhibitions about the distinctive landscape of the area. Now this building is transforming into a centre of nordic design and architecture. With an emphasis on collaboration and education. The participants will be expected to take part in a two day workshop with focus on the town, the exhibition space and the development of individual concepts. After the two days and the presentations of all developed concepts a space will be assigned to each project and there will be five days to execute and finalise all projects. Materials are included in the workshop – be it posters or bricks. International participants from the fields of art, design and architecture are welcome. This is a hands-on workshop for the student or professional, that enjoy both the fast process of developing a concept as well as the creation and build itself. The workshop takes place in Skagen during week 15, 2018 and is conducted by ”Onsdagsskolen”, a non-profit organisation and network of volunteer tutors, researchers and professionals that aim to create and offer different events to students and young professionals of subjects such as art, design and architecture.

How do each of us perform “within” and “without” different scaled and layers of bio-organization, economic and political stratification, categorization, and other “civic” and “civil” orders? What are civil rights? What are civic rights? How do we perform civic responsibility (including and/or beyond current largely-dysfunctional “engagements” such as voting, tax-paying, jury-sitting, legally self-identifying, laboring, and so on)?

How do fugitive and stealth tactics, divestment, situational construction, BUFU, intervention, radical softness, caretaking, acts of radical queer joy, spiritual and metaphysical relationships and phenomena, and quantum transfiguration relate with, dismantle, and/or become “civic duties”?

Open call – M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2019: Still Waters (,Singapore) 16-27 January 2019
Deadline: 03/02/2018
Online Application: [www.singaporefringe.com]
Fee to Apply: Free to apply

Description Of Opportunity:
The M1 Singapore Fringe Festival is calling for applications for Fringe 2019, which will be curated around the theme Still Waters, taken from the title of a seminal work by ground-breaking Australia-based Singaporean artist Suzann Victor.

Suzann Victor’s site-responsive performance of Still Waters (Between Estrangement and Reconciliation) in 1998 dealt with issues pertaining to censorship, silencing, the abject and the difficulty in navigating between norms/the permitted and the alternative/estranged.

In the physical and cultural context of Singapore at the time, Suzann’s work was highly charged with very specific questions about the politics of art, the body and public space in Singapore. But it is such a rich work that might invite a diversity of other investigations and responses about the fugitive, the abject; about estrangement and reconciliation in society, and about “the remaking of histories”.

We invite you to consider Suzann Victor’s work and its many ideas, layers and symbols, and respond to our call for proposals for Fringe 2019: Still Waters. The Festival accepts proposals for both existing and new works from all disciplines that are related to the title and/or issues brought up in Still Waters.

For more information about Still Waters, please visit bit.do/M1SFF2019.

The deadline for applications is Friday 2 March 2018, 12pm Singapore time.

How To Apply:
Please download the application form at bit.do/M1SFF2019.

RAUM – OPEN CALL: MAKERS IN RESIDENCE 2018 (Utrecht, The Netherlands) 2018
Deadline: 02/18/2018
Online Application: [raumutrecht.nl]
Fee to Apply: 0

Description Of Opportunity:

Hello there!

We are RAUM. A public exhibition square in Utrecht of more than 40,000 m2: Berlijnplein. We use the power of art and design to involve people in the living, growing city. With makers and audiences we are building a program of installations and events that pique our curiosity. Together we look for new insights for a multifaceted and multicolored city through cultural experiment. In our view, that’s indispensable for the soul of the city.

Our maker-in-residency program gives you, as a maker, the space to represent your vision of that living city, in a grand work in a public space (after all, RAUM is a square). Pretty cool, right? Read on then!

MAKERS-IN-RESIDENCY

Interaction between people and their environment is of vital essence for a living, bustling city. In 2030, 70% of the world’s population will live in cities. In short term, Utrecht will grow to 400,000 inhabitants. RAUM is a place between the old and the new: our square is located in the geographical heart of Utrecht on top of the remnants of the Roman Empire, but surrounded by freshly baked clinkers and freshly paved asphalt. To our right is the historic city center, to our left the largest new residential area in the Netherlands: Leidsche Rijn. Nowhere is the contrast between the old and the new world bigger: that’s why we’ve chosen Berlijnplein as our location.

A living city is a meeting point where work, money, culture and recreation intersect. This offers opportunities to shape the future together. To come up with solutions for the challenges of our time. And that’s always been about people, and how we relate to buildings, infrastructure, living space and workspace. And especially, to each other. The city is a source of knowledge, expertise, creativity and resources. To unlock that source, you have to stimulate interaction between people and the environment. With RAUM, we do that through cultural experiment, and that yields new insights. RAUM gives the city its soul: it is a place where stories are made and told. Where art and design visualize the challenges of our city. A place that gives shape to the solidarity of the inhabitants with their city.

So, makers – we need you!

OFFER

In 2018, we have sufficient room for another two to three makers. In 2017 we made a start with our first makers-in-residency where, among others, visual artist Leonard van Munster and food designer Chloé Rutzerveld were selected. In 2018 we will work with Overtreders W, Studio RNDR (formerly LUSTlab), Sacha van den Haak & Anton Lamberg and Elmo Vermijs & Richard Vijgen.

What do we offer you?

A workplace (Utrecht makers) or residential workplace (national and international makers) for up to three months in the Makershuis of RAUM.

A stipend of € 300 (self-employed) or € 400 (collective) per week if you are at least two days a week in residence (read: in the Makershuis). This stipend is intended for subsistence, like for instance groceries, travel costs from home and from the Makershuis to suppliers or appointments, and so on. For example: if you work on your project for a total of four weeks in the Makershuis, you will receive € 1200 as a freelancer or € 1600 as a collective. If you work at home, you will not receive a stipend.

A fee of up to 20% (ex VAT) within your total budget.

An open area of 40,000 m2 where your work and projects you create and produce in this period can be exhibited. On the grounds of RAUM (around the Makershuis) or on the Berlin square. Note: RAUM is a public space and therefore always open!

A reimbursement of material and production costs of the work you create, produce and / or organize up to € 40,000, excluding VAT.

A (shared) workshop where you can use tools, machines and equipment at a low renting price.

An involved RAUM crew, assistance with production, critical reflection in the research process, events and activities that you can play a role in. And finally, a large network of key figures in the city and environment who like to give input and help (residents, local cultural institutions, etc.) ).
Publicity (press promotion, social media, etc.).

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Makers! Visual artists, architects, designers, social designers… What matters most: You got to have guts. In other words, you are brave enough to experiment and follow a vision when it comes to your work and the living city. People who see your work leave with a new or different perspective. But more importantly, everyone contributes to the city. And so we find it very important that other people can find their own ‘experience’ in your process or work. Whether you’re encouraging encounters, letting the audience experience something, transferring your skills or letting people literally build together … only with each other can we make room for everyone. So the audience plays a very important role during your residency.

As a maker, you move on the cutting edge of art and design, for example, in the following areas: architecture, visual art, interactive design, audiovisual media, social design, new media (virtual reality, gaming, etc.).
You create one or more, (temporary) installations in the public space.

The public can ‘experience’ in your process or result. In other words: you create a work and / or a project that is interactive, educational or functional in nature in the process or result. The public can think along, help build, participate or experience.

SUBMIT A PROPOSAL

We ask you to submit a short and concise (provisional) plan, so that we can make a qualitative selection. The plan must contain at least the following information (maximum of 5 A4 exclusive portfolio):

General information: name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, website, date of birth, nationality, current place of residence, Chamber of Commerce number, VAT number and if it is a group registration, the number of persons.

If you want to register as a producer duo or makers collective, clearly state this in your project proposal (including the number of people).

Statement (max. 200 words): a short description of what you as a maker stand for and what affects you when it comes to the living city and / or the challenges of our time in cities.

Plan description (max 600 words): a description of the concept and a vision of the role of the audience in your work or project.

One or more sketch (s) with (rough) dimensions, including a view sketch and the ideal position of the work at RAUM or on the Berlijnplein.

A time schedule (including the duration of the research phase, the duration of the realization phase, completion and dismantling and completion of the project – also state which period is best for you in 2018).

A budget of the total costs excl. VAT (fee of up to 20% on the total budget, an unforeseen item of 2%, material, production, transport, removal of work and possible labor costs of outsiders and any travel expenses included) for the work (in total for a maximum of € 40,000 excl. VAT). This exclusive stipend is a € 300 (freelancer) or € 400 (collective) per week in the Makershuis (stipend is calculated after the selection procedure).

Appendix: a portfolio of previously created and conceived work from 2012 – now (or at most 5 years ago).

The maker statement and the description of the plan may also be submitted in a video. That would be very nice even!
