In addition to the call for submissions/proposals for the 2011 Text Festival in my last blog, here is another Text opportunity arising from a new partnership with the Live Arts Development Agency. The Agency run a programme called DIY, which is an opportunity for artists working in Live Art to conceive and run unusual training and professional development projects for other artists.
With the Text Festival, DIY proposals are being invited which address language in Live Art practice. The proposed project needs to take place in in August and September 2010 and hopefully some of the work will be developed to appear in the Festival next April. For more detail go to:
