Drama, Dance or Visual Art/Craft Practitioners Required for Youth Arts Project in St Albans
SAASH Arts will be working in partnership with The Base Youth Project to deliver a multi-disciplinary arts/dance project with young people across the District.
The vision for the project is as follows:
· Issues to be explored around the theme of bullying leading to the development of a dance and/or drama/forum theatre routine
· Stage props/costume design/backcloth to be designed by young people to be assembled whilst showcasing the performance
· Young people to be supported in investigating opportunities to showcase their work and marketing themselves
· Performance to be showcased at various events/schools in the St Albans District during Autumn term
Timeline of workshops
· Workshops starting Easter holidays (pending funding) for approx 18 weeks through term time and 6 weeks during the summer holidays, mainly 3 hour workshops, some may be longer.
This is a callout for proposals from artist or artist groups with experience in working with young people on theme based projects in one or more of the art forms mentioned. You may wish to deliver one or more parts of this project. Hourly fees will be in the region of £25 per hour pending funding. This project would suit a London or Hertfordshire based artist due to limited travel expenses available.
You will have a recent CRB check and public liability insurance.
I resent the implied criminality in this new trend for demanding CRB absolution; it goes against the spirit of a 'rule of law'. and why doesn't the employer take on the responsibility for public liability? and since when the assumption that we are not capable of social responsibility, that we intend harm to others?

Ceremonies and Celebrations
A rites of passage workshop
Most of us have a profound need to mark the important events in our lives with some kind of ceremony. Often these are the occasions that our culture finds easiest to celebrate – for example, births, marriages and deaths, but there are many other significant life experiences that demand attention. Sometimes a personal or private ceremony is the answer; sometimes a more public event where friends and family can bear witness. In a changing social and cultural environment where confidence in traditional religion has often diminished the challenge is to create appropriate, new rites of passage. This challenge is the starting point for an intensive workshop which will examine the Hows and Whys of ceremony and celebration in a practical and experiential way. Beginning with an exploration of the way that rites of passage have featured in our own lives already, we will look at what else might call out for special attention: - beginnings and endings; gains and losses; transitions. We will examine how both positive and negative life events can be distilled into myth and poetry and create meaningful rituals to contain them. One full day will be spent in the company of independent celebrant, Belinda Chapman of Light on Life (www.lightonlife.co.uk), who will take us on a site
visit to the crematorium and green burial site in Brighton and talk about her own practice with particular reference to funerals. Belinda also works with Arka Original Funerals (http://www.eco-funerals.co.uk/).
The intention is to provide a balance between inward and outward work, between mental and physical activity. There will be opportunities for listening, participating, pooling ideas, writing, singing and whatever else arises. Gilly Adams and Sue Gill will provide theory, information, and – they hope – inspiration, but most importantly the week will be shaped to fulfil the needs and aspirations of participants so there will be plenty of opportunities to create ceremony and to experiment and play with new practice in a safe environment. Our working day will be 10 – 6pm, finishing 2pm on the last day. Gilly and Sue have been working together in this field for more than 20 years, first as part of Welfare State International and latterly under the banner of
Dead Good Guides. Gilly is a director and workshop leader who specialises in the development of text for performance as well as in ceremonies and storytelling. Sue was a founder director of WSI, co-author of the Dead Good Funerals Book and also the Guide to Namings and Baby Welcoming Ceremonies. They both work as independent, secular celebrants, guiding families and individuals who wish to create their own distinctive ceremonies.

Update III
At the occasion of the Update III exhibition that is organised as a Biennial event at the Zebrastraat Gent, the Liedts-Meesen Foundation will award a work by a living artist distinguishing himself or herself in the field of digital art. This award will consist of a cash purse and a showcase in the Update IV to be held in 2012.
The upcoming exhibition, Update III (in 2010), will be held in collaboration with the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
At the same time, the 10 works selected for the Liedts-Meesen Foundation award will be exhibited and integrated into the publication accompanying the exhibition.
Update’s mission is to expand the scope of contemporary artistic creations and traditional media with works dedicated to employing contemporary and new technologies in an original and intelligent way: treatment of sounds and light, use of new media, application of innovative evolutions in communications, telecommunications and broadcasting, centred on the world of information, communication, and computers and interaction.
These descriptions are in no way restrictive and should be interpreted in a broader meaning.
The aim of the competition is to present works in accordance with Update’s objectives. The submitted work can have been previously exhibited, but the jury reserves the right to choose creations that are proven to be practically realisable within the possibilities of the Liedts-Meesen Foundation, keeping in mind that the works will be displayed during the exhibition.
The choice of the 10 projects selected by the jury will be rendered public at the occasion of the Lineart Art Salon (Ghent) from the 4th to the 8th December, 2009.
Those projects that have been retained will then be installed in order to be exhibited alongside of the Update III exhibition from March to June 2010 and published in the exhibition catalog. The basic equipment is available to be used by the selected artists; specific and special equipment must be provided for, and lent by the artists for the duration of the exhibition.
During the Update exhibition, one of the nominees will be chosen for the prize award given by the Liedts-Meesen Foundation. A people’s choice award is also foreseen.
Article 6: Eligibility and submission details
This international competition is open to all age groups and to all nationalities. English is the working language. Deliverables: A general portfolio of the artist including a CV and a detailed description of the work submitted, accompanied by visual material is demanded. The material must be provided either in an uploadable format or must be easy to reproduce as the jury's decision will be primarily based on the visual documentation.
For 2010, a 5000 euro cash award is foreseen by the Liedts-Meesen Foundation. This indivisible cash award will be allocated to a work and to its creator.
Moreover, the jury reserves the right to award an honourable mention to an artist. The Liedts-Meesen Foundation and the jury reserve the right to not award a prize and to transfer it to the next exhibition.

ARTIST TO ARTIST INTERNATIONAL SCHEME 2010
Much as I would like to do something like this, I am trying to imagine the additional chaos this would introduce into the already complex expression of an average week; or would it be the very thing to impose structure on the otherwise meaningless ramble of domestic life?

Professional, practising UK based artists can apply to invite an artist of their choice, from the below prioritised countries, to visit them in the UK for two weeks for the exchange of ideas and experiences. The selected overseas artist will spend two weeks with the UK artist, visit their studio, meet contacts, network and discuss ideas.
