Live Art Call Out
Writing From Live Art
Application deadline 9.00 Monday 23 April 2007
If you are interested in writing about a range of innovative performance practices that are not restricted by artform boundaries, then Writing From Live Art could be what you are looking for.
Live Art UK, a national network of venues, promoters and agencies, is recruiting writers for the second round of its critical writing scheme to develop and nurture writing talent. Writing From Live Art aims to develop writing, which can discuss complex Live Art and performance work in accessible terms and to find suitable publishing points.
Writing From Live Art is open to new writers or writers who are new to Live Art.
The scheme offers the opportunity to write about a broad range of live practices that address spaces, places and audiences, and that are more about process than product. The focus on accessible yet informed writing means that the scheme is not suitable for writers wishing to solely focus on academic writing or news journalism.
The facilitator for Writing From Live Art is artist and writer Joshua Sofaer.
There are a limit of three places on Writing From Live Art and expressions of interest are by application only. No formal qualifications are necessary but a commitment and enthusiasm for Live Art and contemporary performance are vital.
