The new $10,000 grant will be awarded US-based artists for making cutting-edge dance and movement-based performance work.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Open Call – Trans-Borders International Work Session (La Vilella teatre, Barcelona, Spain) 5th-9th September 2018 Deadline: 15th July 2018 Online Application: by email produccio@ciasargantana.cat Fee to Participate or Apply: Free Description Of Opportunity: OPEN CALL FOR ACTORS, DIRECTORS, PERFORMERS, SINGERS, MUSICIANS, DANCERS, VIDEOMAKERS, PHOTOGRAPHERS, VISUAL ARTISTS, PHD STUDENTS AND RESEARCH FELLOWS II INTERNATIONAL WORK SESSION The roots Directed by Jordi Pérez cia. Sargantana 5th – 9th September 2018 La Vilella – Barcelona | Catalonia Within the frame of Trans-borders laboratory With the collaboration of Institut de cultura de l’Ajuntament de Barcelona In the 15th anniversary of the company, and after ending the 10th “La Cuina” research group period we trigger a new series of encounters with creators from all around the world. In those 15 years of work we have developped a personal approach to the performing arts as a vehicle to connect the audience with themselves through the live on stage. In each production, we’ve tried to create a meeting space where we could share an essencial question with the audience. In order to set the frame and improve our methodology we created “La Cuina” research group, which has been been working for almost 10 years. The trans-borders International work sessions let us start a new investigation journey through a series of deep anthropological, sociological and polytical questions that involves our nowadays existence. This open call invites international artists to respond to these questions, following the principle of openness and sharing that has always characterized our work as a company. Trans-: «across», «beyond», «through» This new shared journey aims to continue the pursuit that started with our “La cuina” research group, but going beyond its work through what we’ve began. 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). Participation is free of charge.

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. Each artist/company can present only one project. 9 to 12 performances will be selected. 2- How to participate Participation is free. All submitted materials will be archived by the festival organizers and won’t be returned. In order to participate, the following documents shall be submitted: 1. The application form included in this open call, filled in all its parts; 2. A PDF document illustrating/describing the performance and containing all the information needed to understand its execution and poetics. Maximum 2 pages. If the performance has already been shown, the document should also contain a link to a full video documentation of the work. Application forms and PDF documents shall be submitted no later than May 31st 2018 at 23:59 to the e-mail address collettivo.superazione@gmail.com. The selected artists will be provided with: Spaces for the performances Technical support* Buffet during the 3 evenings of the festival Promotion of the event After the selection, a visit to the location will be organized for all the artists who would like to check the place.* The festival will take place in non-conventional spaces.

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.

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.

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?

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. ELIGIBLE 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. Applicants can be based anywhere. No formal qualifications are needed to apply for the SPILL OPEN. Undergraduate and Postgraduate students: we will only accept applications from current final year students who will have graduated before the SPILL OPEN takes place. You may only make one application.

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. Residents are selected by a jury composed of Bergen professional artists and other arts professionals.

Artists from all areas of the world are encouraged to apply; however, artists selected by the panel are expected to present their work in New York. Full-time students are ineligible. Award Terms Projects may begin as early as August 1, 2018. Artists who are awarded funding must present new works of performance art – though it is acceptable for these works to be shown in earlier iterations as works-in-progress. Funded projects must be presented in New York. Grants range between $2,000 and $10,000, depending on peer review panel allocation of funding. Grant recipients are required to submit video and photographic documentation of their funded projects to Franklin Furnace for preservation in the institution’s event archives. The grant recipient is responsible for hiring a videographer and photographer, and Franklin Furnace can provide referrals if needed.

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.

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.

» ‎ Contemporary Performance - Opportunities

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!

» ‎ Contemporary Performance - Opportunities

OPEN CALL Altofest 8th Ed. Naples (Naples, Italy) from 29th June to 8th July 2018
Deadline: 01/07/2018
Online Application: [bit.ly]
Fee to Apply: FREE

Description Of Opportunity:
ALTOFEST 2018 – 8th Edition
TO GIVE RISE TO a Human/Urban Regeneration
29th June > 8th July NAPOLI
Residency + Program

We invite you to send us your proposal
[deadline 7th January 2018]

ALTOFEST was born to GIVE RISE to a community that generates a critical thinking, that is constantly on the alert regarding every attempt of imposing a depersonalized cultural proposal. A community that is able to recognize culture as a primary good, of which feeling a daily need. We try to insert a process athwart the several social elements of the urban fabric, putting them into dialogue. The connection is given by the foreign, external sight, that expresses itself in the plurality of artistic languages that are hosted in the festival. These semantic interferences give to the community the occasion of speaking to each other in a neutral language, meeting in a shared space for risking.

Following this vision we found in “proximity” and “gift” the first keys to conceive the structure of Altofest.

Since 2011, every year, in different areas of the city, Naples’ citizens become Altofest’s space donors, welcome national and international artists in their private spaces, offering the gift of their hospitality and accommodation.

These private and intimate places (apartments, terraces, basements, courtyards, whole buildings, artisan shops) become the space for the artistic residency where every artist will re-qualify one of his/her artwork in dialogue and in relation with the citizen’s everyday life and intimacy. After the residency, the same spaces are opened to the audience.

The proximity exposes both the donor and the artist to a mutual lack of ownership: the first losing objects and spaces, the other losing the possession of the artwork. The gift originates a mechanism in which one expropriation naturally invokes and claims for another expropriation. The work is therefore “displaced” losing the usual conditions of the formal space where it primarily was born. The work will inhabit totally new spaces, geometries and remembrance, calling the artist to reconsider its structure, the original and essential core and its shape, in dialogue with the space and the relations that are involved in it. Expropriation, displacement, are usually perceived as traumatic conditions, but in Altofest they turn into the possibility of an artistic and human regeneration. What is private has not an owner anymore, turning itself into a shared intimacy.

Proposals may refer to one or more finished and already debuted works. Works must be original. Subject, contents and themes of the proposals are free.

Open call for Formations at The Prague Quadrennial 2019 (Prague) 6-16 June 2019
Deadline: 02/28/2018
Online Application: [media.pq.cz.s3.amazonaws.com]
Fee to Apply: FREE

Description Of Opportunity:
ABOUT PQ: Organized by the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic and realized by the Arts and Theatre Institute, the Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space is the largest international exhibition and festival event dedicated to scenography, performance design and theatre architecture. Since 1967 PQ has been an exchange, networking and educational platform exploring the best works in scenography and design for performance through exhibitions, festivals, workshops, performances, symposia, educational events and residencies. The last edition of this international performance design event in 2015 was held at more than 30 venues, featured more than 500 live performances with over 180,000 visitors, and was named one of the twelve most trend-setting European festivals in the prestigious EFFE Awards. Individual exhibitions of countries and regions were organized by some of the most important cultural organizations from over 75 countries, including ministries of culture, art and theatre institutions, as well as international festivals, theatre companies and prestigious theatre and visual arts schools.

This Open Call is for artists and architects from around the world to participate in a performative urban experiment. PQ offers an opportunity for participants to realize time-based art works at the Prague Exhibition Grounds on the plaza in front of PQ’s main exhibition building, the Industrial Palace, in a variety of combinations and durations starting on 7 June at 10:00AM and ending on 13 June at 6:00PM (18:00). The works will intersect at random moments with the open environment, the public, the weather, and other selected works performed near and passing through another. The resulting disruptions and frictions will expand the individual contributions as they become part of a continuous whole unfolding from 7-13 June. The project focuses on clearly defined patterns and their arbitrary but symbiotic interweaving in the public space.

We are looking for artists of all genres who create clearly distinguishable art works rooted in pattern: patterns in time, space, sound, movements, bodies and/or materials. The performances or actions can be presented anytime day or night, for as long or as short as the artist wishes, and can occur once, or can be repeated at chosen intervals. The public, knowingly and unknowingly, will be participating as they move through or within the site, also affecting the pattern woven into the whole.

We are reaching out to artists and architects with clear points of view who are curious about experimental performative conversations.

CURATORS: D. Chase Angier & Serge von Arx

DATES:
• Deadline for Submission: 28 February 2018
• Official Announcement of Included Works: 15 June 2018
• 14th Edition of Prague Quadrennial: 6-16 June 2019
• Formations Festival: 7-13 June 2019

LOCATION OF FESTIVAL Formations will be centered at the Prague Exhibition Grounds on the Plaza in front of PQ’s main exhibition building, the Industrial Palace, while also expanding across the city of Prague. The works will intersect at random moments with the open environment, the public, the weather, and other selected works performed near and passing through another.

PLEASE NOTE: While excited to offer a platform for this work, PQ cannot cover the expenses or production costs for every participating artist or company, who will need to be self funded. However, the Prague Quadrennial will contribute to the expenses of a small number of endeavors that the curatorial team feels is most in the spirit of the artistic statement. By selecting participating artists more than a year before the festival, it is our hope that participants will have the opportunity to secure funding from other organizations or grant bodies. PQ can provide needed documentation and letters of invitation in support of any grant applications undertaken by participants.

How To Apply:
For more information and conditions for submissions for Formations, please, follow attached files.

Please complete form in English and return to call@pq.cz saved as “artistname.company.application.pdf” with email subject line FORMATIONS. Deadline for submission is 28 February 2018.

Common Ground: Training In Socially Engaged Art Tools (Cork & Budapest) February 2018 – February 2019
Deadline: 12/26/2017
Online Application: [https:]]
Fee to Apply: FREE

Description Of Opportunity:

Common Ground, a training in socially engaged art tools is a 1-year long part-time programme comprising 3 residential and an online stage taking place in Budapest, Hungary, and Cork, Ireland, from February 2018 to February 2019 initiated by the Firestarter Network and developed by Makeshift Ensemble (IRL), Artemisszió Alapítvány (HUN) and Postmodernsquare (FIN).

APPLICATION DEADLINE: 26TH DECEMBER 2017

Common Ground is a training and research project focussing on approaches to working and engaging meaningfully with local communities of place within the internationalised, migratory professional practices of both international youth work and the arts. The project will “twin” two multi-cultural, inner city streets and communities in Cork and Budapest that will serve as the location as well as the subject of the training allowing to explore, through artistic tools, the questions: Who are your neighbours? Whose street is this anyway? How can you leave again? Bringing together participants from different backgrounds, the aim is to develop strategies and explore methodologies within the broader frame of socially engaged art with a specific focus on ‘parachute strategies’ to engage with local communities. By ‘parachute strategies’ we mean methods and practices that do not require long-term engagement with communities but work on the basis of interventions, one off events or remote practices that nonetheless provide meaningful connections and a real exchange.
This training will join trainers and participants coming from different backgrounds to allow Common Ground to act as a platform for peer-learning, sharing of international practice and collaboration which will have multiple outcomes in methodology, projects and the professional development of the participants.

WHAT TO EXPECT?

The aim is to equip the participants with a broad understanding of tools and practices, develop their skills and awareness and allow them to learn by doing while also providing support, mentorship as well as skills-based workshops. Having the experience of working in two different countries on similar streets will also give the participants the opportunity to understand the international dimension of working locally.

We firmly believe in peer learning and the power of joint thinking across sectors and disciplines. The participants will be invited to contribute their knowledge and expertise as well as receiving inputs from trainers, peers and invited guests. It is this learning and the questions raised, as well as the methods developed, that will form the backbone of the second half of the project and will culminate in the international seminar in Cork entitled How to finish? focussing on dissemination and knowledge sharing practices within the context of short-term international projects with young people taking place within local communities. The results of the activities will be the learning of the participants, development of new methods and potential projects on a local and European level, a book documenting the project and its outcomes, as well as public presentations, both in Cork and Budapest.

The training will have 4 segments:

1. Common Ground: Cork 30th Jan – 4th Feb 2018 a 4-day study visit in the context of the Quarter Block Party festival in Cork, Ireland, focussing on performative strategies and anthropological approach to public space.
2. An online part-time training conducted via www.artescommunity.eu, a web-portal for community and social engaged arts projects in Europe that will take place in April/May 2018.
3. Common Ground: Budapest in August (exact dates tbc) an 8-day residential training in Budapest, Hungary taking place at Aurora and other locations along Nepszinhaz utca in Budapest. This training will have a specific focus on exploring video methods.
4. Common Ground: How to finish? 1st Feb – 5th Feb 2019 a return to disseminating the results and learning of the project in the form of presentations, performances and talks in collaboration with Quarter Block Party festival. This will also include the launch of the book.
Full participation in the four elements of Common Ground is mandatory!

WHO SHOULD APPLY?

This training is aimed specifically for participants resident in Hungary, Ireland, Serbia, Finland, Greece and Portugal who work with young people under 30 and have a background in either socially engaged art, public art, urban design intervention, documentary film, participatory arts and/or social work, youth work, community organising, activism or cultural anthropology, and already have some professional experience in their fields and a genuine interest and openness to explore the intersection of art and the social in a cross-disciplinary environment.

WHAT WILL IT COST?

Successful applicants will be required to pay a €30 / training participation fee.
Travel, accommodation and meals during the training will be provided. Please note that we will only be able to reimburse travel up to a certain limit defined per country by the European Commission. The travel band applicable to your country will be provided. This limit will be communicated to successful applicants, if you require more information at this point do not hesitate to get in touch.
Common Ground is funded by the European Commission through the Erasmus+ programme.

How To Apply:

To apply, please, fill out the online application: [https:]]

APPLICATION DEADLINE: 26TH DECEMBER 2017

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU APPLY?

After the deadline of 26TH DECEMBER 2017 a committee will read the application form and make the first selection. You will be informed by email if you are invited to the training.
In case you are selected you will be invited to travel to Cork, Ireland, for the period of 30th January – 4th February; remember that participation in the online training is mandatory.

CURRICULUM The John Wells Graduate Directing Program MFA provides Fellows with the opportunity to pursue both rigorous, classical training, new technologies, and experimental approaches to contemporary performance.

Click here for online application form. Applications must be submitted online by 11:59pm on February 29, 2015 * There is no exact and singular definition of an emerging creative artist. The Jerome Foundation (The Foundation) seeks to support those artists who show significant potential, yet are under-recognized. Examples of recognition include exhibitions, critical reviews, commissions, performances, grant awards, residencies, fellowships, publications, and productions. The Foundation considers not only the number of these acknowledgements but also timing, size, characteristics, geographic context, and significance. The Foundation engages each artist in an individualized manner, addressing how emerging is defined in the context of the program and the organization. Career stage is a factor but not a limiting one. Many emerging artists fall in the early career category but not all do. Age is not a factor in determining an emerging artist. The term emerging refers to artistic development, professional accomplishment, and recognition, not to evolution within an artist’s work. The Foundation will assess each situation in reference to the artist’s intention and history of work. For more info: www.jeromefdn.org
