Expressions of Interest Open for Profile at DreamBIG Gathering

Closing midnight AEDT 26 February 2021

APAM Gathering at DreamBIG Children’s Festival 2021 will feature Profiles highlighting the repertoire, ideas and ambitions of a number of Australian and New Zealand performing artists and companies.

Profiles are short presentations (5-10 mins in length) by artists, companies and presenters, to share information about new and existing performance projects, and invite collaboration and potential partners.

All Profile presentations will take place online. If your expression of interest for Profile is successful, it’s not necessary for you to be physically in Adelaide to give your presentation.

There will be two Profile categories designed for performing artists and makers and one Profile category for presenters of performance works.

The APAM curatorial panel convened for the DreamBIG Gathering will select artists and presenters for Profile.

Expressions of interest close midnight AEDT 26 February 2021. APAM will notify all applicants of the outcome of their EOI by 12 March.

Digital Gathering program: 14 – 24 May 2021
In Person Gathering:  19 – 23 May 2021

The APAM Gathering at DreamBIG Children’s Festival will focus on work for multigenerational audiences. With a focus on inclusivity and audiences’ experience, this approach to programming allows for diverse cultural and community engagement.

In creating the work, the artist has actively considered how to facilitate access for the audience so that whole multigenerational families or communities can attend together, or that traditionally marginalised audiences are considered and embraced.

This work is for broad audiences and, within the shared experience, it holds the potential for impact, empathy and play. It recognises that artists know their audiences and are creating inclusive experiences for them.

This focus reflects a growing trend internationally for programming that rejects a siloed view of audience segments, instead welcoming families and communities of audiences to experiences of complex and nuanced work that resonates across the span of ages from children through to adults.

    For Artists and Makers:

    HERE’S WHAT WE MADE
    APAM invites performing artists and companies to pitch performance works which have already had a presentation in some form, whether in-person (theatre, site specific) or digitally. This opportunity is for Australian and New Zealand performing artists and companies seeking future presentation opportunities, and/or seeking commissioning or presenting partners in remaking the work for new presentation formats.

    HERE’S OUR IDEA
    APAM invites performing artists and companies to pitch ideas and works in development: either in-theatre, site specific, digitally, or any other format. This opportunity is for Australian and New Zealand performing artists and companies seeking partners for creative collaboration, commissioning, and premiere presentations.

    Artists and makers may submit up to two expressions of interest.
