CALL OUT FOR ARTISTS FOR LIVE ART SPEED DATE

Live Art Speed Date 25th September As part of Fierce Festival, London based art collective Stoke Newington International Airport present a new concept in intimate performance and live art curation. 20 artists and performers will take over the venue to perform individual ‘Dates’ to 60 audience members over the evening. The ‘Dates’ are presented as a vibrant fairground of private encounters between artist and audience. Each date is 4 minutes long, designed for an audience of one. Artists are asked to submit proposals for a repeatable, four-minute long intimate encounter. There will be a workshop in the space on the 23rd Sept (TBC) Concept:
• A four minute long encounter, date or meeting for an audience of one.
• The ‘Date’ should relate to intimacy, privacy, the encounter and status.
• The date should experiment with the opportunity of being so close to, and alone with the individual audience person.
• Performances will take place in a private booth, or at a table
• These are guidelines and a starting point, we want the artists to feel free to interpret them.

Don’t be afraid to go that little bit too far. Intimacy is a powerful thing, and not to be wasted. This is a fantastic opportunity for artists who want to:
• Experience and explore the one-on-one performance concept
• Test out new fragments of ideas
• Widen networks
• Try something new!
