Sandra Reeve will facilitate an artist’s retreat with 15 artists of different disciplines from 14th-18th March, exploring the context of Coventry city as an urban environment, with a final day sharing on the 18th of March which is open to the public. Her ‘ecological movement’ approach considers the artist’s and audience’s inter-relationship with the context of the work. This ingrains site as an integral part of the art-making process, as it emerges out of the affordances offered by the site (and out of the artist and audience ‘collaborating’ in the site).
Sandra Reeve runs the The Move into Life® workshop programme which draws on the teaching of the respected Javanese movement artist Suprapto Suryodarmo (Prapto). Her work is interdisciplinary as it crosses dance, theatre, intercultural studies and ecological studies. Reeve is also a scholar, having completed a PhD in Performance Practice at the Drama Department, University of Exeter, where she is an Honorary Fellow. Reeve has published Nine Ways of Seeing a Body (2011) and the edited collections Ways of Seeing a Body: Body and Performance (2013), Embodied Lives (2014) and has written in Dance, Somatics and Spiritualities: Contemporary Sacred Narratives(2014) andMoving Sites: Investigating Site-Specific Dance Performance (2015).
Knowledge is a common agreement of what is repeatable and transmittable. Practise ‘whatever-ing’ to invert this logic. ‘Whatever-ing’ entails dancing through the world while affirming ‘it certainly totally could also be that!’
Cyril Baldy and Timan O’Donnell, both formerly of The Forsythe Company, will lead a week-long workshop on ‘whatever-ing’ for up to 20 practitioners: 13–17 April 2016 (with a public sharing on 18 April). The workshop will take place in the Michaelis Dance Theatre, University of Roehampton, London. The deadline for applications is 14 March.

Scale & Scope ChoreoLAB
Big Ideas on a Small Scale
Open Call for Applications
Monday 4 April – Friday 8 April 2016
Pavilion Dance South West and South East Dance are working in partnership to increase development and choreographic opportunities for artists who want to explore creating work that is big in ideas but small in scale, where technical and practical limitations complement the work, rather than compromise it.
Applications are now open for the 2016 Scale & Scope ChoreoLAB. The lab will be an opportunity for two artists to experiment with ideas and test possibilities with a collaborator of their choice (if they wish), investigating new work over a week without the pressure of producing a finished piece of work. In addition, the participating artists will be invited to the Small Spaces & Rural Places Dance Summit at PDSW in May, and offered the opportunity to take part.
Each artist will receive a budget to cover fees, accommodation and travel. Producers from both organisations will be present throughout the LAB week offering support, advice and feedback.
How to apply
Full details and an application form can be found at:
To apply please complete and return the application form to by 5pm on Tuesday 8 March 2016. Successful applicants will be informed by Thursday 10 March 2016.
Applications for this opportunity are being managed by Pavilion Dance South West.
South East Dance is an Equal Opportunities employer. Supported by Arts Council England, South East, Brighton and Hove City Council and Kent County Council.
PDSW is supported by ACE, Bournemouth Borough Council and BH Live.

Call for Participation: Summer Institute Cologne
At :
We invite graduate and postgraduate students from Area Studies, Art History, Classics, Communication, Cultural Studies, Dance, English, Film, Gender and Sexuality Studies, German, History, Literary Studies, Media, Music, Performance, Sound, Theatre, and related fields to apply for this international interdisciplinary program. (All sessions will be conducted in English.) Participants and faculty of [sic!] 2016 will explore perspectives on the topic in situ through four themed seminars:
– Queer Becomings and Unnatural Intimacies
– Sound Studies
– Theatre Historiography
– Urbanism and Hip Hop
Each seminar will be led by a pair of scholars from Northwestern University (Evanston, USA) and the University of Cologne (Germany). In addition to the seminars, [sic!] offers interdisciplinary academic workshops that allow for a dialogue with participants from across the seminars. Each participant enrolls in one seminar and one workshop, thus composing an individual study program. Seminars and workshops are enhanced by excursions, lectures by faculty, poster presentations by students, and social gatherings. The University of Cologne assists participants in identifying accommodation and with other basic logistics.
The Latin term in situ means to be in the original place. Additionally, it means to be in position and, by extension, refers to a normative, rightful, historical, or naturalized location or condition. Knowing that something is unaltered implies awareness of conditions and criteria for alterability and what would constitute mobility, displacement, and change that come about through contact, recombination, contamination, or even representation. Whether considering the contrast between natural sound and its capture, transnational sharing of media, shifting and expanding categories of social and cultural identity, or the performative vocabularies that refer to place, [sic!] 2016 will explore contemporary and historical, local and global instantiations of in situ through many perspectives.

Thursday, 7 April: Symposium 16:oo – 2o:oo
International Laboratory
Friday and Saturday, April 8– 9, 2016
Call for submissions and enrolment in artistic–research workshop & symposium, followed by performances, exhibitions and screenings, and training classes in immersion performance
Please send abstracts (300 words plus bio) or proposals for installations, provocations, film, or performance, to

The context for this international workshop, the fifth Artaud Forum held at Brunel Unversity, is the collaborative European project “Metabody” which works to redefine bodies in media, performance and design. Over the past few years, ‘Metabody’ has developed new architectures and immersive environments which behave like living organisms that have an auditory, visual, and tactile sensory quality, with subtly changing states and affordances, they can be worn and breathed, felt and imagined, transported and taken off.
We invite participants to join us and work with these concepts of integrative tactile experience, kinetic atmospheres, multiperspectival space, and unconscious perception.
‘Metabody’ counteracts dominant technologies and their prevalent tendency to negate differences by reducing bodies and movements to prescribed forms in current surveillance culture. ‘Metabody’ emphasizes openness, and indeterminacy of embodied expressions as a key factor for a sustainable society. This project also foregrounds the need for a new politics. The workshop & performance laboratory probes troubling interpretations of the increasing unrestrainment of capital, and capitalism’s impact on all social-economic, cultural, creative, and educational sectors in a shared developed world now expanded by massive migration and refugee movement. The sustainability of democracy is an urgent theme for all those in the performing arts/creative fields becoming intensely aware of the multiplication of realities (virtualization; networked infrastructures, diasporas) and the tightening of our bodies into technological environments. This is a call for peripheral perception in existential experience.

CALL FOR ART PROJECTS
MILLENNIUM GALLERY: November 11, 2016
Deadline for submission: January 31, 2016
The PSF2016 in partnership with the Millennium Gallery – a joint effort of Faculty of Fine Arts of Lisbon University and Lusófona University – is calling for artists to submit an artwork to be presented at the group exhibition of the Post-Screen: International Festival of Art, New Media and Cybercultures.
SCOPE
The PSF2016: Intermittence+Interference is focused in the themes of photography, film, museology and public space, in connection with the idea of post-screen underlying the festival’s name and purpose, which is to generate a dialogue between the artistic and technological fields, through multidisciplinary studies that contribute critically both to research and artistic practice.
Starting from the three areas already appointed, this project will address a set of topics related with the media, the proliferation and the unfolding of images in cyberspace, the new modalities of screens and their implications in spectatorship and audiences. The substantial increase of urban screens is also a potential field of investigation and reflection on new forms of interaction and collaborative environments in public spaces. The projection of light on urban surfaces arises, largely, as a way to create spaces for collective critical thought through which the video serves as a means for communication and not for consumption, often conveying a sense of political inquiry.
In addition to these aspects, issues related with algorithms, the decoding of images through different outputs, or the new imagery offered, for example, by satellite images, or even the possibilities generated by the virtual reality, are some of the themes to be addressed in this second edition of the PSF, taking into consideration new proposals and approaches which may arise during the course of the project.
Artists may submit an art project/artwork to be presented at the virtual gallery of the festival.
Submissions are accepted in various genres, such as:
• Installations (interactive, site-specific, etc.)
• Video
• Photography
• Audio
• Multiple projections
• Immersive environments
• Video-mapping
• Video-performance
• Cyberarte
• Visual Arts
Before submitting please read carefully the Artists Guidelines and the Rules and Regulation provided in our website.
Artworks will be evaluated through a single blind selection process by the Curatorial Commission.
Please submit by January 31, 2016 through this link:
All candidates will be notified by the end of April 2016.
