Once More With Feeling: call for proposals

Call for proposals: Online performance re-enactments or instruction-based pieces for LADA’s 2020 online Summer Programme in June and July.

As part of this programme, we are seeking proposals for online performance re-enactments or instruction pieces that can be done within the environment/s you are in during lockdown.

These re-enactments or instruction pieces can be of your own work, of existing and iconic works, or even imaginary works. How you re-enact the works or issue instructions is up to you – it could be a performance to camera, the editing and curation of archival footage, a lecture/written text, or any other form of intervention  –  but we would encourage your presentation to be something that online audiences might be able to participate in or do themselves in some way.

The re-enactments or instruction pieces should be at least 15 minutes in duration, but other than that can last as long as you would like. They can be live or pre-recorded. This invitation is open to anyone working in Live Art, of any age and experience, and based anywhere in the world.

LADA will host the interventions on our website and will be able to provide technical support and advice in whatever ways you may need. We are planning these as presentations that will be online for a week and then archived in LADA’s Study Room.  We will schedule the interventions in dialogue with the participating artists.

We are looking to programme four re-enactments or instruction pieces for our Summer Programme this June and July, and can offer a fee of £250 (inclusive of taxes and expenses) to each selected artist.

To propose a work please complete and submit this simple application form by Monday 8 June.
