Social Experiment: call for proposals

About the Open Call

Social Experiment is a free and informal, semi-regular evening event at Manchester's Contact venue. It is an opportunity for North West artists to test out short performances, interventions, or durational works in front of an informal audience. Priority is given to Greater Manchester artists, but applications from other North West based artists are considered. The event is not a dance platform and is not suitable for large physical performance groups. Solo pieces should ideally be under 10 minutes, and durationals should be under 1 hour. Artists must be available for a one-hour get-in on the day of the event.

What is Offered

Honorarium provided: £100 for a solo, £175 for a duet, £250 for a trio, £325 for a quartet (maximum pay).

Requirements

Artists must be based in the North West of England (priority for Greater Manchester). Must be available for a one-hour get-in on the day of the performance.
