Opportunities for street arts and circus companies will be the focus of a new network, ‘Up and Out’, which will bring together ten creative organisations from across the UK to support the development of high-quality, indoor and outdoor work. The partnership will be issuing a bi-annual call-out for artists and companies wanting to develop new or existing work. Support will be offered to successful applicants in the form of creation time, access to partners’ networks, direction and production mentoring, and guidance on funding and the creation of commercially viable work.
The ten partners are SeaChange Arts in Great Yarmouth; NoFit State Circus in Cardiff; DanceEast in Ipswich; Déda in Derby; The Invisible Circus in Bristol; The Point in Eastleigh; 101 in Newbury; and in London, Jacksons Lane, The Roundhouse and the National Centre for Circus Arts. Joe Mackintosh of SeaChange Arts said: “This will be a significant opportunity for any artist or company… We’re keen to ensure the creation of imaginative work with long-term touring capacity in both the UK and internationally.”
Further information and application details are available by email from upandout@seachangearts.org.uk and the deadline for submitting proposals is 10 December.
