ARTISTS’ BURSARY SCHEME 2010
Artsadminʼs Artistsʼ Bursary Scheme offers bursaries to artists working individually or collaboratively in Live Art, and is open to UK based artists whohave been making work for up to and no more than ten years. The scheme supports artistic experiment, risk, speculation and play, ratherthan the production or touring of finished work. It aims to offer time to exploreprocesses and try out new ideas, mentoring support, and opportunities toshow work within a framework of constructive and critical dialogue. This year the scheme will support a minimum of seven artists who will beoffered a package including: • A cash award of between £1500 - £2500 • Artistic mentoring budget of £600 • Professional development mentoring with one of Artsadminʼs advisors • Opportunity to showcase work in development • Dialogue with a critical writer, towards online publication of a reflective response • Opportunity to meet other bursary artists through networking events The bursary is an opportunity to work with Artsadmin between June 2010 and May 2011. Our advisors Manick Govinda and Nikki Tomlinson run the schemeand will be in contact with the selected artists regularly on an individual basis, either in person or by phone/email, supporting their work over the year. The bursary award includes a specific budget for mentoring with an artist decided through discussions with Artsadmin and if necessary, brokered by us. We anticipate that the budget will allow for roughly 3 – 4 sessions in total. We see this as an opportunity for artists to meet and support each otherʼs practice, and will organise social events with former bursary artists and withothers that Artsadmin works with on a regular basis. Bursary artists have an open invitation to show their work in our fullyaccessible building, Toynbee Studios, or another venue as appropriate, withtechnical support. Artsadmin can provide up to three days studio space forshowcasing work. Additional working time at Toynbee Studios can bearranged but will have to be budgeted for and deducted from the cash award. This year we are piloting a new element of the scheme through which artistswill be introduced to specialist critical writers and thinkers, towards theeventual publication of an online response to their work. This reflects our aimto create more critical dialogue around the work of the artists we support, tomake ideas and processes more publicly visible where appropriate, and togenerate more awareness of the artistsʼ work.

We therefore particularly welcome artists who define themselves as Deaf or Disabled to apply.

The scheme is open to artists who: • Are based in the UK • Are actively making work in the area of Live Art • Have been making work for up to and no more than ten years outside of full-time education Live Art is “basically art that happens in real time, overlapping with and crossing artforms such as performance, dance, theatre and visual art.” Artsadmin “Influenced at one extreme by late 20th century Performance Art methodologies where fine artists, in a rejection of objects and markets, turned to their body as the site and material of their practice, and at the other by enquiries where artists broke the traditions of the circumstance and expectations of theatre, a diverse range of practitioners in the 21st century – from those working in dance, film and video, to performance writing, socio-political activism and the emerging languages of the digital age - continue to be excited by the possibilities of the live event.” Live Art Development Agency www.thisisliveart.co.uk Definitions of Live Art can vary - we are therefore offering these uses of the term as a rough rather than exhaustive guide.

'Comme il fait Beau!' (‘What Lovely Weather!’) was co-written by Surrealists André Breton, Robert Desnos and Benjamin Peret in 1923 following the principles of collage to which they had been introduced by Max Ernst. It features a cast of animals and insects.
We will be performing the premiere in English of this wonderful short play at the Barbican in July, as part of a major exhibition. There will also be other paid opportunities for future performances elsewhere. We are looking for two actors (male or female) who will bring their own unique skills to the roles, and are interested in hearing from performers with physical theatre, circus, dance or comedy skills, a love of the unusual and a collaborative spirit. There is a small fee for the July performance and we are applying for funding to cover the (London based) rehearsal period. Auditions week beginning 5th April. There is no need to prepare an audition piece beforehand. Please send letter, CV's with any weblinks and a photograph.

Artist’s Commission: Greenwich Film Festival
Commission Brief
Stream is a creative production agency based in the London Borough of Greenwich, where our programmes bring together innovative art practice and local people. We invite artists to find inspiration in the geographies, peoples and locales in which our projects are sited and offer a stimulating environment in which to realise ambitious new work. We work in collaboration with the artists we commission to realise the full potential of projects, and are committed to creative excellence and meaningful participation in all the work we produce. We look for artists whose practice combines a conceptual sophistication with a lightness of touch, and are keen to support the professional development of the artists we commission. www.streamarts.org.uk
As part of the Greenwich Film Festival, Stream is running an open submission, home movie/archive project that will result in a new artist's commission to be premièred at the Vue Cinema, O2, Greenwich.
We are seeking an artist who can create an innovative short film of between 5-10 minutes that utilises new media to transform and re-think material submitted by the public. We are looking for an imaginative approach to the material and narrative, and will give preference to proposals that will take a visually radical approach to the material. The film should use footage submitted by the public and archive materials that are copyright cleared through the Greenwich Heritage Centre. The artist can also film or design/animate new material to add coherency and context to the finished film and help to achieve the artistic vision of the work. This commission may be suitable for a new media or video artist, filmmaker or VJ but the finished work must be suitable for a cinema screening. The film should not be reliant on dialogue as it may potentially be screened on outdoor sites without sound, so it needs to be visually interesting.
The theme of this year's Greenwich Film Festival is time, and we are looking for a filmmaker who can produce a poetic vision of the borough through the prism of past, present and future. The borough of Greenwich is renowned for its rich history, but, it is also a forward looking borough that is frequently used as visual shorthand for concepts of time, being the home of Greenwich Mean Time. The selected film-maker should be able to think creatively about how the borough and its residents can be represented positively through this film. There will be a call out to the public to submit their home movie footage to the project and this should be used alongside any new material to create an exciting new film that reflects on Greenwich past, present and future. The artist must have a rough edit of the film ready by 21 June and be prepared to make any changes to the film if deemed necessary. Stream, acting on behalf of Greenwich Council will need a master copy of the finished film and 3 x DVD suitable for screening purposes. The artist will also be expected to run a workshop/Q&A session at which they will talk about how they approached the commission and their use of archive footage and new media to create the work .
The fee for this commission is £2,500, inclusive of expenses.
If you are interested in applying for this commission, please send a brief outline (no more than 1 side of A4) detailing how you would approach the commission and any initial concepts you may have of how you would work with archival material in an innovative and imaginative way. You should also send an example of your previous work with your expression of interest, no later than 4pm on Thursday 1 April
