» ‎ Contemporary Performance - Opportunities

PAB OPEN 2019 (BERGEN) 5th and 6th of October Online Application: [https:] Fee to Participate or Apply: 0 Description Of Opportunity: PAB is seeking performances from local, national and international artists for PAB OPEN 2019. The event will take place at Grand Hotel Terminus Bergen, Norway. PAB offers 39 single / double rooms on the top floor, where the artists will both live and perform in the room they are allocated. This is the 4th time PAB will organize PAB OPEN. The festival holds a low-threshold offer that allows the artists to explore and test new performative expressions. We want to provide a broad approach, where artists with different backgrounds and expressions can evolve and create work. Seeking performances with a duration of 30 minutes: The festival runs over two days, with a program lasting 3 hours each day, including a seminar Saturday evening. Due to the briefness of the festival, we strongly encourage applicants to focus on durational performances, with a minimum of 30 minutes, performed both Saturday and Sunday. You can apply with both solo-or duo performances. Due to the number of performances occurring at the same time, please let us know if you wish to use audio or similar elements in your performance. This is so we can fit it into the program without disturbing other performances. We can unfortunately not offer any technical support or equipment. We kindly ask all artists to be self-reliant due to the size of the event. Support: PAB can offer one night of accommodation at the hotel. This includes breakfast, brunch before the festival starts on Saturday, dinner during the seminar 5th of October and dinner after the festival program on Sunday 6th of October. Travel costs have to be covered by the artists themselves at the moment, although we are still seeking funding to offer a small honorarium. Registration for the festival opens on 6th of June at 6pm. Traditionally, PAB OPEN has been a festival where everyone who applied for participation was accepted. This time, applications are evaluated consecutively, as there are limited rooms available. The committee will make a selection based on local and visiting artists. Travel by train to the festival Performance Art Bergen encourages all artists traveling to the festival, to do so by train if it’s manageable. Grand Hotel Terminus is located only 50 meters from the train station. The festival will organize a seminar on Saturday evening, with an overall theme: Carbon Reflections. Here we will reflect on the carbon footprint we as artists leave behind and how to deal with climate change.

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

» ‎ Contemporary Performance - Opportunities

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

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

» ‎ Contemporary Performance - Opportunities

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

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

» ‎ Contemporary Performance - Opportunities

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

» ‎ Contemporary Performance - Opportunities

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

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

» ‎ Contemporary Performance - Opportunities

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

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

» ‎ Contemporary Performance - Opportunities

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

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

The strategy to achieve this is to develop and test an innovative incubating environment in which noninstitutionalised and independent theatre practitioners will have the opportunity to develop their artistic and professional skills and grow their production proposals from the stage of creative ideas to different stages of production and promotion.

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

» ‎ Contemporary Performance - Opportunities

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

MA in Directing of Devised & Object Theatre (Prague) Academic Year 2018/2019 Deadline: 15.02.2019 Online Application: [https:] LEARN NEW WAYS TO DO THEATRE, CREATE YOUR OWN WORK & MAKE CONNECTIONS! (deadline to apply: February 15th!) MA Degree in Directing of Devised & Object Theatre is a 2 year English language program at DAMU, Department of Alternative and Puppet Theatre in Prague! COURSE DESCRIPTION: The Master in Directing of Devised and Object Theatre offers advanced studies in the practice of theatre-making with a twofold focus: learning the process of devising a theatre performance from scratch, with a strong emphasis on a visuality of expression. Students will learn to create theatre performances with strong visual, spatial, object and media (low tech) aspects, as well as working in other related performance forms such as scenographic installations, sound performances, and other types of performances with strong visual and spatial dramaturgy. The process will be based in devising techniques: creating thematic, conceptual, and/or documentary projects that are not based in pre-written plays, but are created mainly through the process of rehearsing, often as collaborative work of the whole creative team. Students will learn to work with a variety of authentic, found, and created material: poetry, images, fragments of plays, songs, historical events, personal stories, scientific findings, common knowledge, pop culture etc. Students will further learn a conceptual approach to research and development of materials, creating specific performance structures (in the sense of narrative, space, and relationship to audience), for specific material, and proposing new ways for audience to perceive/experience the performance to provide the students with the skills to become independent authors. The degree is in directing, where directing is understood as an expanded practice, with the potential to work within the fields of design, writing, and performing, to prepare students for work in theatre forms without strict divisions of roles within the creative team. Students will be guided toward becoming independent creators making their own artistic work. For their last semester and final projects, students will be partnered with prominent practicing artists, based on their individual needs, working in the fields of media, site-specific, community theatre, movement theatre, documentary theatre, puppet theatre, visual theatre, scenographic installation etc., for a hands-on experience. Students will further have a possibility to create a direct connection to the international environment, artists, and institutions as well as connection to Czech artists and companies. PRACTICE: The foundations of the program involve practical work that provides the student with a hands-on experience with all the elements and in all the phases of project creation: selecting a theme; building a concept and dramaturgical structure; processing material; sound, visual and spatial design; dramaturgical work with material; creating material through rehearsal; performing and working with performers; work with puppets and objects; work with audiences. SKILLS ATTAINED: Directing theatre performances with strong visual and spatial components Devising performance from a variety of material Devising using one’s own material (not only interpreting already existing material) Research and development of material Creation of a variety of dramaturgical structures and research of material Performing, and working with performers Performance designing (scenography) CONTACT: Sodja Lotker sodja.zupanclotker@damu.cz How To Apply: For more information about the course, fees, application please visit: [https:] LIST YOUR OPPORTUNITIES: Share your open calls, commissions, grants, workshops, classes, festivals, and more with the network.

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.

» ‎ 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.

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).

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.

Opportunities: LUCKY CHANGEMAKER Call for Entries!

» ‎ Contemporary Performance - Opportunities

In 2016 LUCKY TRIMMER launched the LUCKY CHANGEMAKER.

Annually LUCKY TRIMMER grants a 500 € award to the recipient of the LUCKY CHANGEMAKER to contribute to the development, continuation or realisation of his/her project. What is the LUCKY CHANGEMAKER grant for? – Projects that embody the LUCKY spirit and that are engaged with physicality, movement and performance. All artistic disciplines are eligible (dance, visual arts, theatre, film/video, music, performance-based arts, interdisciplinary arts). – Projects that increase environmental awareness, promote social equality, showcase art’s social dimension, address cultural responsiveness and social responsibility. – Projects that engage socially underprivileged community members who would normally not have access to culture as equal partners, that encourage under resourced communities to overcome barriers, to participate in creative process and that create equitable access to culture. Who can apply? – Any individual artists, collectives or institutions, regardless of their geographic location. – Artists addressing critical social issues of our times. There are social situations in the world that are deeply affecting people. Our goal is to use art that is engaged emotionally and intellectually to inspire anyone to be agents of change. – We value the process as much as the product.

The award-winning theatre is now hosting a 12-day acting training intensive. A maximum of 12 international students participate in this unique multi-cultural experience. Students share their time between class work in Culture Collective’s black box theatre and field-trips to historical and famous sites. The classwork includes workshops with master teachers in Thai dance, Thai puppetry, and Thai theatre makeup. Students then incorporate their experiences into an original / ensemble devised performance of a Thai story. The workshop culminates with a final performance presented to a public audience. Students also study the Gister Method of Acting (developed by Earl Gister, former chair of the Yale School of Drama’s MFA acting program), with focus on character development and text analysis and a guest master teacher will focus on ensemble and devised creation training. This workshop emphasizes the role of the actor as a storyteller. Students collaborate to devise a script (dialogue and movement) to tell the story of the disappearance of Jim Thompson. The Gister Method is used to focus on character development and interactions with other actors as they share in telling this story. Some of the devising strategies covered in the workshop are idea mapping, research, storyboarding, improvisation, rapid prototyping, iteration, and an open frame works approach to rehearsal. Acting is taught by Loni Berry. He is the artistic director of Culture Collective Studio, is from the United States and holds graduate degrees from Brown University and the Yale School of Drama. He studied acting with Earl Gister, directing with Lloyd Richards and Anne Bogart, and playwriting with August Wilson and Paula Vogel.

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

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

» ‎ Contemporary Performance - Opportunities

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