“Imagined Homes” Thessaloniki Performance Festival | 6th Thessaloniki Biennale of Contemporary Art
OPEN CALL FOR SIX GREEK ARTISTIC COLLABORATORS Collective performance opera
We are an artist duo and invite six Greek artists to collaborate in our new performance to be presented in the occasion of the Thessaloniki Performance Festival of the 6th Thessaloniki Biennale of Contemporary Art, on Saturday, 21 October 2017. The collective performance opera (title, to be announced) is a poetic performative act to honour the ideal force of a community and sites of belonging, while questioning the precarious umbrella of state systems defining both the collective and places.
• We are looking to work with six Greek artists who identify themselves as female, ideally with a background in visual arts, poetry, music/sound, dance, theatre, or performance art.
• Full availability is required in the period: Sunday, 15 October to Saturday, 21 October 2017.
• Preparation under our guidance will take place from Sunday, 15 to Friday, 20 October 2017, every day from 10:00 to 18:00, with availability for evening sessions where necessary. In this preparation period, the selected artists will work intensively with us on the our performance methodology and poetry. We will work together on the production of actions and materials for the collective performance opera, including the selected artists’ individual artistic backgrounds. The selected artists will be mentioned along all publications related to the work.
• Final set-up and performance: Saturday, 21 October 2017.
• The work process will be in English.
• Accommodation in Thessaloniki during the working period is at the collaborators’ own responsibility.
To be considered, please fill in the online form until August 31, 2017: https://goo.gl/forms/QPAgCmOGbDVEjxfo2.
