This course addresses feminist performance art through the lens of the art historical and the contemporary, with constant consideration of how historical concerns continue to manifest in the present. Feminist performance art of the 1970s quite specifically pulled from political actions surrounding the women’s movement, including active protests and collaborative consciousness-raising sessions. We focus on the work of artists such as Hannah Wilke, Ana Mendieta, Adrian Piper, Martha Wilson, and Suzanne Lacy, as a way to understand how their work reflects the multiple positions of feminism, and therefore operates as a reinforcement of the “personal as political” that sits at the center of feminist art. Throughout the course, we assess how and why feminist performance art incorporates questions of gender and sexual identity, as well as racial, ethnic, and class based concerns, and the reasons why feminist performance art is a particularly strategic way of addressing political interests. As performance is already a subversive act, in that it aims to destabilize absolute truths regarding the body and social categorizations, it may be viewed as a considerable tool for questioning and dismantling perceived rules that regulate social relations and bodily expectations.

Opportunity: Online Course “Decolonization Now: Activism/Artivism from the Ground” Where: online When: October 15-November 5, Fridays 6-8pm CET Deadline: October 14 Online Application:
[https:] Fee to Participate or Apply: EUR 175 Description Of Opportunity: This course takes a hemispheric look at how to think through the goals of decolonization and decoloniality and how they are being shaped by artists, activists, and academics in the post-neoliberal world. It pays critical attention to activist and art movement-based projects that have occurred in the last 5 years in the United States such as the People’s Cultural Plan, Decolonize this Place, The Black School, Chinatown Art Brigade, The Illuminator, Black Quantum Futurism, or StrikeMOMA. This is the ground for present-day decolonization. Although relevant theory and history is covered during the lecture time, the course draws most heavily from the participants sharing ideas and works from their own region and particular interests. The goal is to begin the work of collaboration by coming to understand each other’s situations, and to form community. The course intends to bring together practitioners, academics, and activists to share skills, knowledge and possibilities and is conceived as a place for people working through the many challenges of the present to learn by sharing and through mutual support. The course will work towards creating a collaborative, free, downloadable, decolonized ‘curriculum’ in the sense of Paulo Freire’s “practices of freedom.” Among others, we will address the question of how decolonizing can remain grounded, continue to make territorial acknowledgements, advocate for restitution and reparations, and create new perception under these ever-changing conditions.

Opportunity: Online course “New Technologies for Performance Art Part 1: An Introduction to the Extended Reality Spectrum and related Performance Works” Where: online When: October 5-26, Tuesdays 6-8pm CET Deadline: October 3, 2021 Online Application:
[https:] Fee to Participate or Apply: EUR 175 Description Of Opportunity: This online course is devoted to one of the most pertinent cultural trends of the present: immersion and its technologies. It addresses central questions such as: What does the turn to the immersive mean for us? Why is it happening? Who benefits ? How is it changing the way we create, share, and preserve art and culture? How does it transform the field of performance art? The histories of art, photography, and film offer useful comparisons for what is being experienced in the present with the rapid development and assimilation of digital applications. Reality, after the surrealist twenties, could never again be seen as simple or continuous, describable empirically or through induction. As once science fictions now become scientific realities, and as the virtual inches closer to becoming indistinguishable from the actual, how do we understand the changing dynamics between new technology and human understanding? Experiential technologies or XR technologies, which include virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and 360 photo and video capture, propose knowledge production through an immersive encounter. At the same time, they put central aspects of performative practice such as notions of liveness and corporeality up for renegotiation. The field of Digital Humanities highlights the ongoing tension of pairing computational methods which are often more quantitative and positivist with arts and humanities practices that shepherd a more qualitative reflection or approach. This class brings together a set of theoretical and practical resources that illuminate the friction of that combination in powerful ways. Students will not only learn about historical and current techniques of immersion but will be expected to think critically and reflect on the work of artists producing XR related work. This course is succeeded by “New Technologies for Performance Art Part 2: Workshop: Hands-on Technical Training and Project Development“. It is not mandatory to attend both parts.

Opportunity: Online Course "Performing the Memory" Where: online When: October 4-25, Mondays 6-8pm CET Deadline: October 3, 2021 Online Application:
[https:] Fee to Participate or Apply: EUR 175 Description Of Opportunity: This practice-based course focuses on the concept of memory as immediate inspriation and tool for creating performance art. Through joint analysis of historic and contemporary examples by artists such as Franko B., La Pocha Nostra, Kimsooja, Preach R Sun, Jodie Lyn-Kee-Chow, or Miao Jiaxin, participants will approach different forms of memory such as personal vs. collective, and the discourses connected with them: from emotion such as love and loss, to issues of identity, gender, and race, or experiences of migration, displacement and diaspora. Building on these discussions as well as selected readings, participants will be guided to explore various approaches of using memory in their artistic practice, which they will be able to elaborate through both assigned as well as in-class performances. The course is divided into three main sections focusing on personal, group, and collective memories through which participants will explore a span of memories from intimate experiences to global issues like the current Covid-19 pandemic. Participants will have the opportunity to experiment in a safe, judgement-free zone where they can express themselves most honestly while receiving the support and knowledge to grow confidence and strengthen their personal performance persona, presence, and space.

Opportunity: Performance Garten 8 Where: Cologne, Tanzfaktur When: 4. Sept. 2021 Deadline: 30.06.2021 Online Application:
[https:] Fee to Participate or Apply: no Description Of Opportunity: Wir befinden uns im Zustand globaler Trance. Selbst die begrifflichen Wurzeln der Trance sind spürbar: Mit den letzten Monaten haben wir eine neue Erfahrung des »Überschreitens« gemacht, einige entwickelten die »Angst vor dem Bösen«. Die Ereignisse haben uns aufgespannt zwischen Aktivität und Passivität, höchster Aufmerksamkeit und körperlicher Starre, zwischen totaler Fokussierung auf das Hier und Jetzt und Ausflüchten in erträumte Ferne, zwischen ratio und Rausch. Zugleich hat die Suche nach Trance eine lange Tradition: Seit mehreren tausend Jahren hat sie der Mensch kultiviert und zur Technologie gemacht. Religionen, Künste, Militär, Wissenschaft und YouTuber:innen haben sich ihre Praxen angeeignet und ihr Potential erforscht. Wie die Kognitionswissenschaft zeigt, können tranceartige Zustände zur Weiterentwicklung und Ausbildung neuer neuronaler Netze führen. Welche Trancen lassen sich entwerfen, um unsere gegenwärtigen mentalen Netze neu zu spannen? Der 8. Performance Garten sucht performative künstlerische Arbeiten, die sich mit verschiedenen Aspekten der Trance auseinandersetzen. Erwünscht sind möglichst breite Lesarten und Annäherungen. Der Call richtet sich an Nachwuchskünstler:innen und erfahrene Künstler:innen gleichermaßen. Willkommen sind performative Arbeiten unterschiedlicher künstlerischer Disziplinen und Medialitäten (zB Video-/Tanz-/Musik-/Lecture-Performances). Nicht-regionale Künstler:innen werden gebeten, ein Konzept für eine digitale Version ihrer Arbeit beizufügen. Zur Veranstaltung erscheint eine begleitende Printpublikation. Das Programm ist kostenfrei und, soweit es die geltenden Richtlinien zulassen, offen für alle. Als Begleitprogramm sind individuelle Künstler:innengespräche, sogenannte TWALKS, vorgesehen. Die Künstler:innen haben die Möglichkeit, hierfür eine textile Edition zu gestalten (Details tba). Den Künstler:innen wird eine Aufwandsentschädigung sowie eine Reisekostenpauschale für An- und Abreise gezahlt. Übernachtungskosten können nicht übernommen werden. Bewirb dich bis zum 30. Juni 2021. English Translation: We are in a state of global trance. Even the conceptual roots of trance are palpable: In the last few months we have had a new experience of “going beyond”, some developed the “fear of evil”. The events stretched us between activity and passivity, maximum attention and physical rigidity, between total focus on the here and now and evasions into dreamy distant places, between ratio and intoxication. At the same time, the search for trance has a long tradition: man has cultivated it and turned it into technology for several thousand years. Religions, arts, military, science and YouTubers: inside have adopted their practices and explored their potential. As cognitive science shows Trance-like states can lead to the further development and formation of new neural networks. What trances can be designed to re-tension our current mental networks? The 8th Performance Garden is looking for performative artistic works that deal with various aspects of trance. The broadest possible readings and approximations are desirable. The call is aimed at young and experienced artists alike. Performative works from different artistic disciplines and medialities (e.g. video / dance / music / lecture performances) are welcome. Non-regional artists are asked to include a concept for a digital version of their work. An accompanying print publication will appear for the event. The program is free and, as far as the applicable guidelines allow, open to everyone. As an accompanying program, individual artist talks, so-called TWALKS, are planned. The artists have the opportunity to design a textile edition for this (details tba). The artists are paid an expense allowance as well as a flat-rate travel allowance for arrival and departure. Accommodation costs cannot be covered. Apply by June 30, 2021. How To Apply: Der 8.

Opportunity: Online Course “New Technologies for Performance Art” Where: online When: May 7-28, Fridays 6-8pm CET Deadline: May 6, 2020 Online Application:
[https:] Fee to Participate or Apply: EUR 175 Description Of Opportunity: Online course: “New Technologies for Performance Art Part 1: An Introduction to the Extended Reality Spectrum and related Performance Work” This course is devoted to one of the most pertinent cultural trends of the present: immersion and its technologies. It addresses central questions such as: What does the turn to the immersive mean for us? Why is it happening? Who benefits ? How is it changing the way we create, share, and preserve art and culture? How does it transform the field of performance art? Experiential technologies or XR technologies, which include virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and 360 photo and video capture, propose knowledge production through an immersive encounter. At the same time, they put central aspects of performative practice such as notions of liveness and corporeality up for renegotiation. The field of Digital Humanities highlights the ongoing tension of pairing computational methods which are often more quantitative and positivist with arts and humanities practices that shepherd a more qualitative reflection or approach. This class brings together a set of theoretical and practical resources that illuminate the friction of that combination in powerful ways. Students will not only learn about historical and current techniques of immersion but will be expected to think critically and reflect on the work of artists producing XR related work.

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

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

Opportunity: Choreographic Convention V: Movement Research, Sofia Where: Goethe Institut-Bulgaria / Online When: 10th and 11th of October 2020 Deadline: None Online Application: None Fee to Participate or Apply: None Description Of Opportunity: Choreographic Convention V: Movement Research, Sofia October 10 – 11, 2020 at 11 AM – 5 PM UTC+03 As a part of the “Choreographic Convention” Programme of the project “Life Long Burning – Towards a Sustainable Ecosystem of Contemporary Dance in Europe” Curated by Iva Sveshtarova, Angelina Georgieva, Willy Prager, Stephan A. Shtereff Ever since its introduction into dance-making by the pioneers of modern dance, and especially since experimental dance collectives turned improvisation into an artistic practice in the United States in the 1970’s, movement research has generally been understood as a process of finding and generating movement material beyond existing dance vocabulary. Movement is differentiated as an essential materiality of dance, and research takes place in the body of the dancer. The body experiments with kinetic potential or appropriates movements from different spheres of life, on the basis of which it develops movement language. But movement research also operates on a much broader level, which we can only briefly outline here. Contemporary choreography has complicated the attitude that the body and movement are the main means of expression in dance. They have been subjected to radical deconstruction, examining their culturally assigned meanings. The notion of choreography as an expanded practice has largely emancipated itself from dance and has become increasingly interested not in the individual expressiveness of the body and movement and in shaping them through various techniques, but in the relations they create with other bodies and objects in multi-layered aesthetically organized situations, as well as in their socio-political significance. Digital and dance artists have incorporated new technologies as a creative and research tool that expand the notions of bodily boundaries. Various software programs make it possible to capture, analyse and reconfigure movement in any environment – physical, virtual, visual or acoustic… The growing interest in the history of dance in recent decades has raised questions of the possibilities for archiving, researching and reconstructing the kinetic knowledge of the past. The Choreographic Convention: “Movement Research” offers a space for dialogue and reflection on new perspectives and approaches to movement research. Over the course of two days, through talks, presentations, conversations with artists and theoretical discussions, the meeting will focus on the following main topics: movement research as an artistic practice, as a form of work with dance archives and its interactions with new technologies and in social movements and contexts. The meeting will be accompanied by an artistic programme with performances related to these topics. How To Apply: The International Choreographic Convention will be held live, in compliance with all anti-epidemic measures and will be broadcast online on the Antistatic International Festival for Contemporary Dance and Performance’s Facebook page (@antistatic.international.festival), where no registration is needed. Due to the anti-epidemic measures, the seats in the hall are a limited number that is why a pre-registration via e-mail at antistaticfest@gmail.com is mandatory. Free entrance. The working language will be English. * Please be aware that the programme may be altered in occasion of unexpected changes in anti-epidemic measures. Contact Email:info@a25cultfound.org Website:

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

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

Opportunity: the Incurable Caravan’s Online Car Show Where: Online (Virginia, USA-based) When: May 2020 Deadline: December 1st, 2020 Online Application:
[https:] Fee to Participate or Apply: 0 Description Of Opportunity: About The Incurable Caravan’s Online Car Show is an indefinite online exhibit. All works accepted should expect to be a single element on a larger, scrolling page. The Car Show seeks to intersect traditional, popular, experimental, and outsider styles with an enthusiasm towards all approaches to art-making. We welcome all interpretations of media and automotive transportation. Guidelines Works submitted should include, allude to, or represent some elements of a car (doors, windows, wheels, engines, memories, etc.), but how you choose to present these elements is up to you. Not all internal spaces with windows are cars, and not all cars have doors. Your car can be literal, abstract, heartfelt, playful, technical, emotional, or all of the above, to any degree of detail. Any media capable of existing online is encouraged, especially media that are normally challenging to program or format in other contexts. This includes: literary: poetry, short prose (< 1000 words), haiku, interviews, interactive fiction static visual: all traditional visual media: drawing, painting, photography, graphic/product design. For sculpture, 3D photoscans or multiple photos are acceptable. moving visual: short film (< 3m), silent animations (gif/mp4), filmed choreography 3D: any 3D model or scene below 50k polygons audio: short pieces or songs (< 3m, loopable or not), interactive web audio, original sound design haikus (< 10s) multimedia: any combination of the above web: any self-contained webapps, games, data viz, generative art, net art, or CSS/SVG/Canvas animations, size restrictions TBD Proposals for categories not included in this list and works-in-progress are allowed, as long as evidence of progress can be demonstrated on submission. Older works are also allowed, as long as they relate to a car in some form. Formatting The works included in the Car Show will be assembled as a single, scrolling page. We will make a best effort to format everything in a way that respects individual artistic visions, while also taking into account the data limits of viewers around the globe. This means: Media (images, audio, video) used in the Car Show may be compressed and resized smaller than the original sources sent in your submission. We will balance image/audio quality vs file size and maintain aspect ratios. Works that depend on extremely large file sizes might not work as well in this context. Poetry and prose (or other text-based media) will be included as text rather than images if possible. We are able to reflect your original formatting (including whitespace, font weights/sizes/families, colored text censoring) if desired, and will make a best effort to do so. Works that require a large number of different fonts or unique text effects may be displayed as SVG instead. Caveat: the Car Show will not be able to pay for web fonts that require licensing. Non-standard media (3D objects, data viz, JS canvas art, etc) may be displayed with relevant Javascript libraries rather than as images. We’ll work with selected artists to find good solutions for these works. Hosting The Car Show will host the works submitted for as long as possible. We will make a best effort to keep a consistent domain name, but a backup/redirect will always exist on the hosting artist’s webpage (Becky Brown). Artists selected will be sent both links when the Car Show is released. Files hosted by the Car Show are only intended for the exhibition webpage. Artists selected must agree to refrain from using the Car Show’s hosted media files of their works as personal hosting. If displaying your work requires hosting outside our own (due to file sizes or using embedded services), we will not be able to pay for those services. Agreements All work remains your own. We do not require submitted works to be exclusive to the Car Show. You affirm that you created the work you are submitting. If you’re a performer and you’d like to submit a recording of yourself playing a piece written by someone else, ask them to submit the form on your behalf. How To Apply: View the submission form here. All works should be sent as links that do not expire––i.e., no WeTransfer. Each artist or collective can submit works in multiple categories, but you must submit a separate form for each work you intend to submit. Exception: 5 haikus/sound design haikus can be submitted in a single submission form. Contact Email:rlb9fd@virginia.edu Website:

With respect to the profound changes that shake our everyday life, CROSS Award 2020 aims to be an incubator of images and practices which are engaged on the rewriting of the present as well as the re-appropriation of public spaces. The award aims to promote investigation and artistic expressions related to the combination of different styles and genres, considering multi-language practices and the mix of techniques and codes pertaining to the various performing arts as reward factors. The artistic creation aims to be a mean of research and intervention on the reality. Through their relational and permeable quality, performative arts represent the place to build again trust on the community and social dimension of our experience of the world. The goal of the competition is to identify new productions – thoroughly unpublished – that put in dialogue the language of the body and of the stage performance with musical composition, without any restrictions or constraints of kind, category or practice.

The project must be submitted as a production that can be developed during the different phases of the residency and that could include multiple expressive practices at the same time (as such: dance, music composition and interpretation, DJset, live soundtrack, composition of a soundtrack, activity of noise music, theatre, body performance, urban performance and dance, walkways, participated workshops, singing, new technologies, video art, motioncapture, readings, site-specific design).

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