Invitation for submissions:
Please see call for new work below, we will very much appreciate your taking a look or forwarding to your networks.
Open call for submissions to Powerplay: an indisciplinary live performance event at Toynbee Studios Arts Bar & Café
Open call for: Performance/Live art/Spoken word/Stand up/Storytelling/Interactive-workshop activity/Tabletop artwork-activity prompts/Resources for interaction
Tattenbaum/deluca invite you to submit work for an evening of entertainment and debate making the case for/against performer-audience interactivity.
We are interested in many of the discussions going on in the arts, and in popular culture, about audience participation, agency, ‘customization culture’ ... (blog journalism, tweeting an event your feedback/thoughts, Apple’s app store or Nike’s design-your-own-trainer experience...). Despite (or perhaps because of) this we feel that, as consumers, there is a high expectation that our cultural experiences will be well facilitated. That we will be given an appropriate number of options + appropriate set boundaries + appropriate directive/facilitative/supportive environments in order to best achieve our own participatory potential.
...We don’t want to be told how to have fun, but we don’t want to be left in charge of making our own fun either...
Work proposed might explore: power play, dominance, submission, control, participation, interaction between audience/performers, curators/public…
It should be 5-15 minutes duration, low tech and suited to the bar/café environment and small stage area.
To apply email [log in to unmask] answering the following questions:
Idea
Tell us about what you want to do
Give us a feel with image/s, a link to video, or evocative bit of description (doesn’t need to be of this piece if you haven’t made it yet, could be e.g. a few images that show something you’re interested in referencing)
Any thoughts on how it will relate to the theme of the event (audience experience – participation – power play) and to the Arts Bar&Café space the event will happen in?
Tech
How long is your performance/activity going to last for?
What are the tech requirements (inc h&s/audience alerts such as messy materials/nudity…)
If a ‘stage’ performance, how long will changeover take before and after your ‘turn’?
Deadline: Monday 30th September
Event will take place Thursday October 24th from 7pm at Toynbee Studios Arts Bar & Cafe
This is an unfunded non-profit event, any money made on the night will go towards covering cost of putting it on, so we regret that we are unable to offer artist (or producers) a fee for their involvement.
