» ‎ Contemporary Performance - Opportunities

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

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

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).

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 concept developed out of the VENICE INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCE ART WEEK’s core mission and its Educational Learning Program. The aim is to empower participating artists who are selected through an Open Call, to articulate and develop their individual praxis within an independent temporary autonomous zone of co-creation under the tuition of established performance artists. The new course was inaugurated on December 2017 with its first edition entitled CO-CREATION LIVE FACTORY Prologue 1. It focused on the concepts of time and endurance and investigates themes such as the poetics of relations, the perception of the self and the quest for personal freedom. The second one, held on December 2018, featured the installation of the experimental collective performance opera BODY MATTERS: Anam Cara – Dwelling Bodies to explore the notions of intimacy and companionship, risk-taking and abandonment. Following these previous two experiences, CO-CREATION LIVE FACTORY Dissenting Bodies Marking Time now consolidates the founding principles of the project, this time addressing topics such as dissent, identity, queer theory, concepts of time, transience and impermanence. APPLICATIONS ARE NOW ACCEPTED ON A ROLLING BASE UNTIL DECEMBER 7, 2019. VENICE INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCE ART WEEK | CO-CREATION LIVE FACTORY is a project conceived by artist duo VestAndPage and independent curator Francesca Carol Rolla, realised by Studio Contemporaneo non-profit Cultural Association in cooperation with Live Arts Cultures non-profit Cultural Association, We Exhibit, Venice Open Gates, and with the in-kind support by the European Cultural Centre | GAA Foundation and ConCAVe Venice. How To Apply: To apply, please fill in the online form on [https:] Fee: 600, – € The fee includes (during the period of the project): – Tuition; – Accommodation in shared rooms in 3*** / 4**** hotels in Venice-Mestre (breakfast included); – Venice City tourist tax; – Local transport from the accommodation to Piazzale Roma, which is just 10 minutes away from the venue on foot. – Please note that lunch and dinners are not included in this fee.

This work brings together the efforts of students, faculty, artists and community partners to suffuse the Life of the Mind on campus with creativity while securing the University’s role as a cultural destination and resource on Chicago’s South Side, throughout Chicago, and beyond. About the Experimental Performance Initiative Experimentation is at the very heart of who we are and what we do at the University of Chicago. In our laboratories, our classrooms, or our publications, we are fundamentally committed to practices of exploration and invention – practices that are at once reverent (because deeply engaged with the history of how pressing problems have been conceived) and irreverent (in the unfettered determination to find new and compelling answers to those problems). The arts play a crucial role in our culture of experimentation, forming a crucible where new ideas are tested, new insights applied, and new forms produced. Thus, to cite a few examples, the Chicago Center for Contemporary Composition is reinventing longstanding practices of commissioning and presenting new music; the Smart Museum is rethinking the boundaries and forms of contemporary artistic practices; the South Side Home Movie Project is reshaping the archive of American film history; Court Theatre is redefining classic theater for an urban metropolis; the Gray Center for Arts and Inquiry and the Arts, Science & Culture Initiative are modeling new forms of collaboration between artists and scholars; the Logan Center for the Arts is developing an array of innovative partnerships with ensembles and institutions across the city; the Green Line Performing Arts Center and the Arts Incubator are forging new ways to train and support artists in the communities of the South Side. Over the course of the past five years in particular, the arts have enabled us to experiment with boundaries – in a curricular, institutional, and conceptual sense on campus; but also in a social, historical, and political sense in the city and in the world. Having generated an extraordinary profusion of new forms of artistic practice and new ways that those practices can impact our students, our community, and our world, we find ourselves in need of a comprehensive – and suitably experimental – means of sharing this work. This initiative is that means: a program that seeks to gather together a disparate set of artistic practices at the U of C, but that also embodies the spirit of dynamism, invention, and astonishment occasioned by those practices. It is a program for art at this extraordinary place in these extraordinary times – and an invitation to share in the varieties of invention that define us. How To Apply: Accepting inquiries on a rolling basis, with review process to begin July 15th, 2019. Please email the items below to Kate Schlachter, at kschlach@uchicago.edu, with the email subject “Consulting Curator” – emails without this subject may be missed. a cover letter professional bio and resume a letter that outlines a general project plan and proposes your anticipated fee for this work examples of related experiences with a clear enumeration of your specific role in those projects and/or programs a list of current projects names and contact information for 3 references.

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

» ‎ Contemporary Performance - Opportunities

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

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

» ‎ Contemporary Performance - Opportunities

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

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

» ‎ Contemporary Performance - Opportunities

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

The location Villa Santa Maria in domicella, sits in between Vesuvio and Vallo di Lauro , a site with old roots and a land rich of history and Culture. It is the ideal Place to develop an artistic project and to change the cultural system. The company offers artists a 6 /7 days / stay providing onsite accommodation and rehearsal space or studio .

A program of regular workshops and other events are run by the company there in collaboration with the residents to promote interaction and exchange of ideas both among the residents and with the wider community. Further facilities include free wifi throughout the place, a huge rehearsal space a library normally workshops are run with artists that come to the residency two three times because reinvited by the company.

Domicella is a small country situated in a woody basin to the borders of the Vallo of Lauro and Nola, almost 35 km from Naples (40 minutes by car). Dipped in the green, Domicella is also characterized by a particularly mild climate. Fresh and windy air in summer, sweet in winter.

In the last floor, a room of 35 square meters with parquet can be used for stretching, meditation, watching videos etc.. Rehearsal room is a huge room of 110 square meters, 6 meters high , with linoleum on the floor , heater, dehumidification system. Particularly pleasant to work in the summer season in which the temperature of the room doesn’t overcome 25 degrees. That is the reason why normally artists are lodged with other artists unless it is a rental request Leaving us with a possibility to keep going the dialogue … Artists are all requested to donate a work or a memory at the end of residency And to mention the name of residency in each future exhibition or conversation around the work and regular présentations And open doors to locals curators or guests The objective is to keep a dialogue with selected artists to help them to find a network and to find a new form of collaboration That is why once there artists are going to be invited to cme back if there is a special reason to continue the dialogue with the company and with us during the residency artistic directors and members of the company are in touch with artists, they will dialogue about possibilities to develop the work and they wil try to be available for an artistic exchange with selected artists If an artist is invited to come back , then there will be a possible public showing of the work and we willt ry together to build a site specific performance out of the rehearsed work.

“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.

» ‎ 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.
