1/ FRESH AiR LIVE ART PLATFORM
FRESH AiR LIVE ART PLATFORM
SATURDAY 12 MARCH 2011
Deadline for proposals: 11 FEBRUARY 2011
FRESH AiR is a new initiative from Queen Mary, University of London offering recent Live Art graduates and emergent artists in London support, advice, professional development and a performance platform.
FRESH AiR includes an open submissions platform, mentoring and critical feedback for programmed artists, and FRESH TIPS – a day of information and advice from experienced artists on Sunday 13 March.
The FRESH AiR PLATFORM is aimed at artists who are at the beginning of their practice and have made at least one professionally presented piece of Live Art. It is an opportunity for artists to introduce their practice to audiences, peers, and promoters, to work with a mentor, to participate in a critical feedback session, and to attend FRESH TIPS.
The FRESH AiR PLATFORM will take place in a range of spaces at Queen Mary, University of London. Artists will be selected on an open submission basis from their written applications by a small team of lecturers and Associate Artists from Queen Mary, and the Live Art Development Agency.
Information on last year’s Platform can be found here. <http://www.thisisliveart.co.uk/prof_dev/fresh_air/fresh_air_2010.html>
Artists wishing to present their work in the FRESH AiR PLATFORM should submit a written proposal with a completed application form by 11 February 2011 at the very latest.
Please note that we can only accept applications received by email.
Applications forms are available on request from Rose Sharp on 0207 882 5196

FRESH AiR builds on East End Collaborations (EEC) <http://www.thisisliveart.co.uk/prof_dev/eec_everything/index.html> , which ran from 1999 to 2009, and is produced in collaboration with the Live Art Development Agency.
FRESH AiR is part of Queen Mary’s wider Artists in Residence (AiR) project – an in–house initiative to sustain established Live Art practitioners, support emerging artists, and invest in the spaces that nurture their work and audiences.
AiR will create a dedicated community for Live Art at Queen Mary, ensuring that audiences in the East End and across London have the opportunities to engage with a wide variety of performances. The AiR Project is co–funded by the Arts Council England, LCACE, Westfield Trust, Prospects Fund and Women@QM

2/ LAMBETH INSPIRED FESTIVAL
Are you interested in creating 2012 related work?
If so, the Lambeth 2012 team is hoping to support the development of Lambeth based Games inspired performances or installations, in any art form, throughout 2011 and 2012.
There are a lot of opportunities for arts organisations and artists to perform and engage with 2012 related events and programmes.
Genuinely 2012 inspired work could:
Be performed / installed around the borough, possibly in a festival context, to engage residents and attract visitors at Games time.
Link into key 2012 experience zones at the Southbank and beyond.
Link into the Cultural Olympiad 2012 Festival and other pan London cultural programmes.
Contribute to torch relay celebration moments if appropriate and route depending.
Provide content for any Lambeth based celebration events.
If you are interested in finding out more about the proposed Lambeth Inspired Festival please contact:
