Artivist Performance

Dear Colleagues,

Over the past few years, we have noticed a gap in training for performing arts professionals. There are many masters programs and other professional training programs for visual arts curators, but we could find nothing comparable in the performing arts fields. In talking to colleagues, we realized that there was a real need for a program that addressed the ways in which performance is curated and produced today.

In 2010, in partnership with Danspace Project in New York, we founded the Institute for Curatorial Practice in Performance (ICPP) at Wesleyan University in Middletown, CT. The ICPP is now accepting applications for a low-residency professional certificate program in 2011-2012.

February 28, 2011, has been set as the Application Deadline for the 2011 Travel and Study Grant Program

ELIGIBLE DISCIPLINES: MUSIC, THEATER, and VISUAL ARTS

The 2011 Travel and Study Grant Program will award grants to emerging creative artists (composers, sound artists, playwrights, creators of performance art and experimental theater, and visual artists). Minnesota-based executive and program administrators working for nonprofit organizations in music, theater, and visual arts are also eligible to apply. The deadline for applications in Music, Theater, and Visual Arts is February 28, 2011.

Applications must be postmarked on or before the deadline to be eligible for consideration. Fax and e-mail submissions are not permitted.

Dear People,

I am a young sound artist from Belgium, and I'm currently building a new installation called Soundtracks.

And to build the installation, I need your help. The idea behind soundtracks is to build an archive of memories of sound. Memories of sounds that were important to you, that struck you or stayed with you. Soundtracks wants to research which kind of sounds get remembered, and how they are remembered. Can we hear those sounds again in our heads, or can we only remember the circumstances of the situation; the outlines, the edges of the sound?

And that's why I would like to ask you to take a moment and try to find your recollection of a sound, a sound that was important to you.
