Call for collaborators


Estelle Rosenfeld is looking for collaborators to research and develop her new piece of work: Capture.

She has been awarded a grant for the arts to look at ways of capturing human images as well as capturing humans. She would like to explore early motion devices and themes like migrations and surveillance. It would be presented as a promenade piece, somewhere between a show and an exhibition.

The work should consist in two separate weeks of workshop at Central School of Speech and Drama with a showcase at the end of each week. Other opportunities to show the work might also include Scratch Interact, Hatch, Suspense, New Marlowe Studio.

For this work she is looking for highly motivated and reliable performers with experience of puppetry. Interest in live art and experimental forms of theatre is essential, other artistic practices or technical skills would be an advantage.

For more information on Estelle's work, you can visit puppetsanddolls.org.uk to see her previous body of work and to read about the beginning of her research and development, look at rd-capture.blogspot.com.

For more information about dates and fees, email Estelle at estelle@what-box.org

To apply, please send a CV and a short cover letter explaining why you would be interested in this collaboration and what you think you could bring to the project at estelle@what-box.org before the 4th of February.

First ever scratch!!!

I’m happy to announce the first ever bit of work that I’m going to show live about my R&D of Capture. It is called Scene 1: the Waiting Room and will be shown as part of Scratch Interact curated by Glue. It will be on February the 5th from 3pm to 6pm at the Kent University School of Arts in Canterbury.

To learn more about the event and book your free ticket visit: http://scratchinteract.wordpress.com/

It is free, but I would strongly recommend to book, as there is only a very limited audience.
