Call for proposals: 080808 UpStage Festival
http://www.upstage.org.nz
Following on from the sucess of 070707, the second UpStage festival
of live online performances will be held on 080808 (8 August 2008).
The call is now open for performance proposals.
The 080808 Upstage Festival aims to create a participatory space for
collaboration, creation, and for the presentation of current
cyberformance. The festival provides a platform (and shares the
technichal expertise) to enable artists to experiment with the new
medium, and to have their work seen alongside performances by
internationally reknowned practitioners - in a celebration of the
evolution and diversity of online performance practices.
To submit a proposal, email the following information to [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
o working title of your cyberformance and 3-4 sentences about it;
o names and locations of people involved;
o brief background/bios (not more than 300 words);
o preferred time(s), in your local time, for presentation on 080808;
o contact email and postal address.
Performances can be on any theme or topic; the only rules are it must
be no longer than 20.08 minutes, and must be created and performed in
UpStage (for information about the 070707 performances, see
http://upstage.org.nz/blog/?page_id=48).
The deadline for proposals is 16 May 2008; selections will be
announced on 1 June.
The festival will take place online in UpStage on 080808, with some
RL ('real life') access nodes at locations around the world. If you
are interested in hosting a RL access node, please contact us for
further information and technical requirements.
Participating artists will be listed and acknowledged on the UpStage
web site. We will endeavour to record all the performances and
provide participating artists with copies for documentation, however
this is dependent on volunteer resources.
