Now entering its second decade, hÅb and greenroom’s platform for contemporary performance and live art is calling for proposals.
A paper dress, lovingly hand-typed and stitched; a giant circular skirt leaving filligree traces of icing sugar through its lacy trim; racous rememberings of a decade of madness and one woman's musings on her identity as a horse...
emergency's tenth epic featured saw all this plus a mermaid and a giant post-box, paddling pool performance and tea parties, romance and heartbreak in a tent and a mass celebratory conga. 40+ performances filling every nook and cranny to bursting and spilling out onto the street.
This is your chance to participate in this extraordinary free marathon of the bizarre and the beautiful, the glamorous and the thought-provoking. Proposals are welcome for both short black-box/studio performance pieces and durational installations and interventions in the bar.
Artists working in live art, contemporary performance, time-based media and interdisciplinary arts are invited to submit proposals of short pieces of work, works in progress or extracts of longer works for inclusion in this event.
To get a feel check out emergency’s MySpace and take a look at last year’s line up.
emergency2010 will take place at greenroom, on Friday 1 and Saturday 2 October and at the International Anthony Burgess Foundation on Saturday 2 October.
