Spoken Word Artist Wanted

Open Call - Spoken Word Artist
The Flash Residency Project

The Flash Residency Project is a series of very short residencies (one hour in length) , where artists of different disciplines inhabit our outdoor pop- up studio space. The first instalment has been commissioned by Beam for Wakefield's Playful City Festival. We are looking for a spoken word artist for one of the five residencies.

The chosen candidate must be available on October 18. If chosen you will be asked to use your residency to crowd source, write and perform a poem during your time in residence. The artist fee is £70 and must cover all expenses (including travel). We are open to artists across the country, but preference will be given to candidates in the West Yorkshire Region.

If interested please email: flashresidencyproject@gmail.com with an expression of interest, including performance experience and examples of your work
(up to 2 video clips and 1 written text)

Deadline: September 20 2014
