send me some submissions!
For those that haven't seen this call for work yet or who would like a reminder, here's the info for sending me a proposal for First Backyard. I'm excited to see what people will come up with!
Site is a small-scale flat outdoor space for an intimate audience. Can be used to create temporary pieces, attempt new works, test audiences and push boundaries. Filming of performance or piece will be provided. Site is located in the Grand Avenue arts area.
Possible proposals could include projected videos, ephemeral sculpture, interactive performances, process-oriented work, performance art, and experimental theater. You could use this space to try out a new piece or share an older, lesser exposed one. The piece will be performed for one night only.
To submit your work, please include:
• a one-page proposal including the concept and intent of your work. Please indicate what type of resources you may need.
• resume (no longer than 2 pages)
• the following types of work samples: link to a website; up to 4, 3-minute works on DVD; or 10-15 jpeg images on CD. Submit what is necessary to understand your work better (a combination of samples is acceptable). Include an image list and descriptions. Images should be no larger than 5"x7" at 300dpi (1200–1600 pixels is fine)
• additional materials: relevant press; sketches or story board of proposed piece; artist bio
Submit materials to:
