PRACTICE Salisbury Arts Centre, Wednesday 18 July 2012 This is an open call for practitioners to test new and innovative contemporary performance and dance work in front of a live audience. Practice will consist of up to four selected extracts of work in progress by solo performers and companies, with the potential for some of the works to be further developed and performed at ICIA University of Bath and Salisbury Arts Centre. The next Practice platform will take place at Salisbury Arts Centre on Wednesday 18 July 2012. Practice creates a safe environment for an engaging exchange of views between artists and audiences. After the performances, there will be an informal discussion enabling you to receive feedback on the work and ask questions, opening up a genuine dialogue that will help develop the work further. This two-way communication is an integral part of the evening. So if you work with dance, if you work with theatre, if you’re a live artist, if you have an idea, if you have an experiment, why not test it at Practice? There will be four Practice events each year, two at Salisbury Arts Centre and two at ICIA University of Bath. The event will be attended by producers from: o BAC (Battersea Arts Centre) o CEW (Creative Ecology Wiltshire – formerly TheatreWorks and Wiltshire Dancing) o Theatre Bristol and/or Activate Performing Arts (Dorset) If selected, you will: o Present between ten and twenty minutes of performance material o Receive £100 performance fee plus a contribution towards expenses of £50 o Showcase your work at an exciting live event at Salisbury Arts Centre on Wednesday 18 July o Have the opportunity to engage in a creative dialogue, about your work and that of the other artists, with real audiences to help inform your process and practice o Meet other artists and companies presenting and develop potential future partnerships For an application form or further information, please visit www.salisburyartscentre.co.uk, email info@salisburyarts.co.uk or call 01722 343020.
