Best regards Tim - - - - - - Lab Nights >From October 2003 the CCA, Glasgow will be hosting �Lab Nights� every third Wednesday of the month. �Lab Nights� give artists from any performance discipline 10 or 15 minutes to try out new ideas or methods in front of an audience. We want to give artists the chance to test something that is mid-process or even just a seed idea. The work might be a bit raw or a bit risky but that doesn�t matter � in fact that�s the point! Artists might want to get some feedback in the bar afterwards, or give some to other participants. But in order to make this work we will ask critics not to review Lab Nights nor should they be used by funders to formally assess work. We hope Lab Nights will be used to, perhaps, �shoot from the hip� with an idea � just do it and see what happens � or try out some new technology - or show some work mid-process - or try the first stages of a script - or find out whether you really can do THAT in front of an audience and get away with it. Who can be in a Lab Night? The CCA welcomes any artist or company from theatre, dance, music, live art, spoken word, screen or anything in-between for Lab Nights. It may be work that would not normally be programmed at the CCA � doesn�t matter. We hope they will be of use to established artists trying out new work or emerging artists trying out first ideas. Lab Nights will be in CCA5 and will have a basic technical spec to be shared by all. We anticipate having 5 or 6 slots each Lab Night of 10 to 15 minutes each. If you have something you would like to show please email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or leave a message at 0141 332 7521.
