Upcoming Event Place: USA Date : March 8th

For Immediate Release: February 2, 2002

The Greatest Anti-War Show on Earth A multi-media theatre happening inspired by 9.11.01 with international performers from The Gambia, Russia, Switzerland, Haiti, USA & elsewhere. Conceived by Galinsky and The Bohdi Tree Theatre Company (BTTC) With Christopher Stackhouse At St. Mark's Poetry Project, St. Mark's Church 131 E. 10th St. at 2nd Ave NYC Friday March 8, 2002, 10pm ($7 adults, $4 students)

A suspicious piece of luggage rumbles from the inside; the "TeleTwin Towers" loop a multi-monitored digital testimony of life; two stilt walkers dance awash projections of a still standing World Trade Center; Cat Stevens is interpreted through dance forms from The Gambia; the national anthem resonates from the electro magnetic sounds of a theramin; Pink Floyd's "Blue Skies" become pixilated while Big Brother's Bigger Brother monitors everything on short-wave and broadband; this is just a brief glimpse of the rich multi-media theatrical scope showcased in The Bodhi Tree Theatre Company's New York premiere of: "POWs: the greatest anti-war show on earth". Celebrating its inaugural season, the Bohdi Tree Theatre Company bounds onto the New York City theatre/media scene creating one of the most important artistic events of the season. For performance and media devotees, "POWs..." offers a incomparable opportunity to see how today's artists are processing the post 911 mentality of war and the personal rights issues that go along with it. The quality of this collective attests to the vibrancy and talent of resistance oriented works being produced in New York City today. Presented by BTTC in association with St. Mark's Poetry Project at the St. Mark's Church, the "The POWs..." features over fifteen of the most interesting performing and multi-media artists: Feedbuck Galore Inc., Kadiatou Sibi, Disney NASA Borg, ..... All of these individuals and groups are premiering their newest works at St. Mark's Poetry Project (131 9th Street at 1st Avenue) on Friday March 8, 2002, at 10pm.

  • Ephemeral Art

Type: Call for Art

Place: USA Date : February 22nd (deadline)

An Open Call for Ephemeral Art from NewTown Concept & Disciplines NewTown is working on a show based on the concept of ephemeral art ... art which, by nature of its materials, processes upon those materials or interaction of materials, alters over the course of time. By extension, we are also interested in static works reflecting the idea of ephemerality, though these will be curated far more closely than those actually changing over the course of the show. The show will be up for four weeks and include an opening and/or closing event which can accommodate shorter term art, including performance and sound/music works. The show will be documented before its opening. That documentation and possibly time lapse imagery of the show will be a part of the closing event. All arts disciplines have examples of ephemeral art. In addition to visual art, we want music and other sonic art, media, performance and new genres as yet unnamed.

Show Dates May 18 through June 16, 2002 Show Location The Armory Center for the Arts' temporary space on North Fair Oaks in Pasadena.

The show will occupy half of the gallery space. It is an industrial building, nto a "white waller". Artists' Fees NewTown always pays artists as much as we possibly can. We will have to see what ideas and proposals comes in to know what the fees will be. We try to assure that no one loses money on their art (that's icky!!). How to Apply Although we are not sticklers on proposal format, we do get irritable if we have to guess the artist's intent. The following items are suggested, but you are free to send the proposal in whatever format you feel best represents your work. BUT, please, however you choose to present yourself and your work, be clear and not too verbose. Please, do not staple or bind your propsal 1. Something that clearly describes your work. That could include any of the following or other materials you feel show your idea to best advantage. € Sketch or other visual representation € € Written description € € Video tape or 16mm film € € CDs, audio cassettes € 2.

If you feel this is self-evident, you can omit this, but please be sure the relationship between materials and their transformation over time is very clear. 3. A brief biography or resume. 4. Documentation of previous work, focusing on work relevant to the show's theme. If this is a new venture for you, don't be discouraged.

  • 'eel'

Call for works Place: UK

Date : March 21st (deadline)

'eel' is an opportunity for emerging and established artists, whose work includes performance, video, film, sound, animation and other time-based or live arts practise, to present new works, in a series of events happening throughout the year. Since November 2000, there have been four events at The Rhythm Factory, a sizeable club venue, and restaurant on Whitechapel Road. These have generated a lot of interest, attracting audiences of between 150-250. The work is mainly chosen from proposals, though we also make invitations to various artists. We do not receive any funding at the moment, so some of the cost for equipment hire, and publicity is covered by charging the audience a nominal entrance fee. Proposal submissions If you would like to submit a proposal, please include a statement about the work, its presentation, technical specifications, visual or audio documentation, and a brief C.V. This should be sent to 'eel' 25 Midhope House, Midhope Street, London WC1H 8HJ The next eel takes place Thursday 21 March, The Rhythm Factory, 16-18 Whitechapel Rd, London E.1 7.30pm For more detailed information on future events, or submitting proposals email:metazoon@hotmail.com or tel: Catherine Packard 020 7209 1438 Gary O Connor 07876152951 or Cindy Sullivan 020 7381 1524 25 Midhope House, Midhope Street London WC1H 8HJ

Dear all, now I mail you in quite a different purpose...and then it is about performance, of course! In 2005 it is the 200 year birthday of the tale writer H.C.Andersen in Odense. Every year from now Odense will celebrate him on his birthday April 2 - For that purpose I am asking you if anybody of you have an H.C.Andersen-related performance idea? To one of his many fairy tales (eg. The Princess and the Pea, the Ugly Duckling , The Little Mermaid (totally 172 fairy tales. - look at http://www.hca.gilead.org http://www.kb.dk http://www.andersen.sdu.dk - http://www.hcandersen.subnet.dk for more information). Or a performance idea related to his life which was in itself a fairy -tale (born by very poor parents in Odense - and fullfills the American dream?) Of course you are paid (travel. accomodation, fee etc). I am looking forward to hearing from you, with many greetings Else Jespersen info@performance-festival-odense.dk P.S. if you know other persons interested in H.C.Andersen, please tell me and make contact to me, thank you.
