Project Brand New 2               (24, 25, 26 July 08): Call for Submissions
What will you make?
 
Project Brand New is an initiative for the performing arts at Project Arts Centre. It exists to provide a framework for theatre, dance, music and live art practitioners to develop new work for the stage outside the traditional production model.  We are offering you the opportunity to put new ideas into practice at a developmental stage in an informal environment.

At the heart of this project is the ambition to provide a platform for innovation andexperimentation, and work that strives towards the new. Project Brand New will serve as a springboard to push you, as artist and spectator, in new directions.

In March 2008, 13 pieces across many art-forms were shown as part of Project Brand New's sell-out debut season. Their success depended on the enthusiasm of an adventurous audience, and the passion of over 60 participating artists. We are delighted to present the next season of Project Brand New in July 2008, in Project Space Upstairs and we're dying to know what you will make...

Here's how it works:
 
Over three nights in July (24, 25, 26) Project Space Upstairs will play host to 8-12 new works made by you. These works can be up to twenty minutes long.   You can make whatever you like. You can use a video projector, a play-back sound system and anything else you can get in and out of the space in a ten minute turn around.  That's it! We are excited to see what can be created when the focus is more on the people making the work than on the technical requirements we sometimes can be constrained by.
 
If you are interested, all you have to do is submit your ideas to us.  We ask for a brief description of your idea and where you would like to take it, in no more than 500 words and a biography detailing your previous work as an artist. If you are submitting a new play or musical text,  it is helpful, though not essential, for us to read a full draft.

Submissions will be assessed under the following criteria:
The artistic quality of your idea
The scope of your ambition
The practical needs of your idea
 
We are: Róise Goan, Louise Lowe, Jody O'Neill and Deirdre Roycroft,.
Once we have selected the successful submissions for Project Brand
New, we will work with you to assist you in bringing your ideas to fruition.
This is a not-for-profit venture, where all the participants time and
resources, including Project Arts Centre, are being offered free of
charge. We do not have any additional budget for props or equipment.
