A call out

The Skeleton Project is hosting an event, a gathering really... a party I guess. The sole purpose is to have a day where a lot of people get together and show each other what they are working on and have a chat and a drink.

The call out below is intended to be fairly open so that any one that wants to present work from any discipline has the opportunity to do so. If you have any questions please e-mail me. Send all ideas and questions to info@skeletonproject.co.uk.

If anyone is interested in helping running it or getting more people involved let me know.

Call out for contributions:

pARTy is a showcase, exhibition and party of art, performance, film and music hosted by The Skeleton Project at Enjoy Art Space (Unit 22, Mabgate Leeds, LS9 7DZ) on April 21st. (3pm – 10pm)

This is a call out for performances, artworks, videos, music and writing. There is a deliberately short time between this call out and the event, this is to encourage preexisting work, interventions and smaller pieces. All artworks will be hung and taken down by the artists. This is a chance to showcase your work or the style of work you make to other artists, filmmakers, performers etc working in Yorkshire and to see what other work is being made locally.

Performances:

Call for performances of new work, live art and contemporary theatre of any duration.

Performances need to operate without any tech and can run alongside other work in the same space.

Durational work, interventions, short performances and readings are encouraged as there will be no seated audience and other things may be happening in the same space.
