'Poolside Emergency 2013 calling for proposals

Dear all

'Poolside Emergency 2013

...mayhem on Merseyside is back for the third time, with a day-long splash of live art and performance at the Bluecoat on Saturday 13 April, 12noon-5pm 

Artists working in live art, performance art, experimental theatre, contemporary dance, installation, sound art and interdisciplinary arts are now invited to submit proposals of new work and works in progress for inclusion in this event.

    Work can be in any relevant art-form/medium though some live presence is desirable. There are a variety of spaces available including public indoor and outdoor areas, daylight work spaces, low-tech studios and a small performance space. Applications are encouraged for work that is durational, one-to-one, intervention based or site-sensitive.

    The aim of the event is to showcase a large number of artists and companies. All work proposed should be technically simple and able to accommodate short get in/get out periods.  Performances with a static audience (i.e. non-durational) should be no more than 20minutes in length.

      'Poolside Emergency takes place on Saturday 13 April, 12noon-5pm at the Bluecoat, School Lane, Liverpool L1 3BX Liverpool 

      Deadline for proposals: 5.00pm Friday 15 February 2013
