Call Out – FRESH North East

Moving Art Management are now seeking proposals from dance artists/makers to share new work in progress at FRESH North East at Dance City Newcastle on Thursday 19 March 2020.

 

FRESH is a scratch platform for dance giving artists and companies an opportunity to share new work in progress* in an informal theatre setting. A networking gathering with complimentary refreshments takes place for 30mins before the event, and a facilitated feedback discussion follows the live performances for artists to gain insight from the audience regarding the content and development of their work in a relaxed, supportive environment.

 

Up to 5 artists/companies will receive a £100 bursary, photography and film of their work captured during the event, plus the opportunity to network with artists, producers and programmers.

 

*By ‘works in progress’ we mean new work which has either already undertaken research and development and is being structured into a performance or the starting stages of an idea which is in development.

 

We are looking for:

  • Short new pieces of dance work (includes all genres/styles)
  • Excerpts from a longer work-in-progress performance (please note that excerpts of completed performances are not eligible)
  • Artists any stage of their career. (Unfortunately, we are unable to consider applications from current BA (or equivalent) students. This opportunity is open to graduates, post-graduate students and anyone who is no longer studying)
  • Live Performance work (Dance Film is not eligible on this occasion)

 

Proposals should be for pieces that are:

  • Between 5 – 10 minutes in duration
  • Technically simple and adaptable to quick turnarounds
  • Self-supporting in terms of props/set/equipment
