Re: Question for artists who seek commissions
I've been a bit out of it & not really following
things properly but I did want to add my
threepenn'orth
to this- if I'm out of touch with the ebb & flow of
the thread forgive me.
A completely personal & subjective reaction but I
*love* restrictions - I find they really stimulate my
imagination. Having said that it tends to be
*technical* restrictions that really get me going -
I personally love things like 5k.org and ten second
films.com , where you're fighting the intractibility
of the technical brief but the subject matter is your
own.
FInally I agree 100% about collaborations -I love
them, I do as many as I reasonably can & it would be
nice to encourage more both because I think they're
aesthetically of interest but also because they break
down a lot of the unecessary and harmful barriers
between artists that our competitive world constantly
fosters and renews
as I say, just my feelings,
best

Fwd: Dancer/Choreographer Required
Hi
I'm posting this in case there are any
dancers/choreographers out there on the list who'd be
interested in the job below.
We're definitely *not* looking for artists I'm afraid
-its just the one dance slot remains to be filled.
I don't know what the position would be with work
permits for anyone not from the EU & you would
absolutely have to be available in the area for one
day a week in the Autumn for about 10 weeks as well as
four four days this Feb, but if you're interested mail
Jo with the required stuff.
