IndigeLab Call for Applicatations
at Performance Space National
A workshop for Australian Indigenous artists led by Wesley Enoch, Brook Andrew and Darlene Johnson
DEADLINE: Monday 31 August 2009
PROJECT DURATION: 31 October – 13 November, 2009
Performers, writers, directors, dancers, choreographers, screen-based artists, sound-artists, designers, lighting designers, visual artists and web artists are invited to apply.
Performance Space invites applications for IndigeLab – a two-week residential laboratory for Indigenous artists who work in different artforms from around the nation to participate in a challenging environment of exchange, experiment and play. It will take place at Bundanon Trust on the south coast of NSW from Saturday 31 October to Friday 13 November, 2009. IndigeLab is produced by Performance Space in partnership with Bundanon Trust.
IndigeLab focuses on developing process rather than product. Participants are invited to enter a hothouse environment where ideas are shared, collaborative relationships are seeded and critical debate is robust. There will be discussion concerning the relationship between our traditional heritage and our contemporary practice. IndigeLab will be led by three facilitators — Wesley Enoch, Brook Andrew and Darlene Johnson — who will collaborate and develop a series of tasks, provocations and dialogues in which participants can engage.
Ten participants will be selected to participate. Each participant will receive a $1,100 honorarium (inc GST) to participate. Accommodation, meals and some transport will be provided.
HOW TO APPLY
Eligibility:
• The laboratory is open to Indigenous artists working across media and disciplines.
• Participants need to be available to attend the full duration of the laboratory.
Selection Criteria:
• Ability and interest in working collaboratively and empathetically with artists from diverse backgrounds and practices.
• Interest/experience in interdisciplinary performance making.
• Ability to analyse your practice.
Applications must be received by C.O.B. MONDAY 31 AUGUST, 2009 and need to include:
• Full contact details including both telephone and email contacts;
• A statement addressing why you are interested in participating;
• A description that articulates the central ideas of a current or previous work;
• A short biography;
• Support material from previous work (ideally images/moving images or website if applying via email, and video, DVD, audio CD, or other documentation to apply via mail);
