Artists/makers/creatives/performers needed.

Be a part of an immersive experience, experimental installation and performance exploring layers of confusion and belonging through sound, light and objects.

I am a MA performance design student at the University of Leeds, and I am currently working in collaboration with Jonathan Parker (hoppla creative and Inkwell arts) on an extension of a piece developed in Germany whilst on an artist residency. The piece is story, and originally an object and promenade performance, I am developing it into a sound installation with interactive live elements.

I have two roles to fill:

1 – speakers/performers: I need people who are confident learning a piece of text and reciting it in a not-so-traditional manner. I am looking for a variety of languages, and if possible some people confident in sign language.

2 – makers  (painters, illustrators, writers, sculptors, fabricators etc): in response to a prompt and/or a piece of text form the story, I would like to create a set of relics, a sort of living history of the piece. The audience will then be encouraged to add to this archive, and expand its presence.

The piece(s) would be displayed alongside the installation, in the foyer at stage@leeds, on the 5th Feb.

I aim to have about 7 showings through the day, (of roughly 15-20 audience members each time) so it would be fab to get loads of people and mediums involved, and a great way to push the boundaries of the University of Leeds Theatre.

If you or anyone you know would be up for it let me know. It would a great thing to be involved in etc (UOL MA collaborative, experimental, cross disciplinary, interactive work).

Both of these are unpaid roles, however, I can provide tea and/or vegan snacks.

Let me know what you think and if you need extra details.
