call for proposals-

Earth Matters On Stage ~
Ecodrama Playwrights Festival & Symposium
May 21~ 31, 2009 ~ University of Oregon

Call for Symposium Papers and Proposals

"Ecological victory will require a transvaluation so profound as to be
nearly unimaginable at present. And in this the arts and humanities –
including the theater – must play a role."
Una Chaudhuri

Indeed ecology is at the heart of burgeoning creativity and
interdisciplinary scholarship across the arts and humanities. This
Symposium, together with the concurrent Ecodrama Festival, invites
artists, scholars and activists to share their work, ideas, and
passions with one another and with the larger community who attend the
Festival.

We welcome creative and innovative proposals for workshops,
round-tables, panels, working sessions, installations, or
participatory community gatherings that explore, examine, challenge,
articulate, or nourish the possibilities of theatre's response to the
environmental crisis in particular, and our ecological situatedness in
general.

The format is wide-open and we will schedule and shape the Symposium
around the types of proposals received and selected. We encourage
proposals that go beyond a recitation of ideas or positions, and
instead bring presenters and participants together as they engage the
driving question of how theatre has or might function as part of our
multiple reciprocal relationships within ecological communities.

Some possible topics for exploration include: land and body in
performance; representation of/and environmental justice; green
theatre production; old cultural narratives/new stories; indigenous
performance; community-based performance/ecological communities;
sensing place/staging place; devising from ecology; the ecologies of
theatrical form and/or space; animal representation; and application
of ecocriticism to plays and performance.

Please send by email or snail mail, a one-page proposal and/or
abstract by January 1, 2009 to:
Earth Matters ~ Ecodrama Symposium 2009

Your preferred type of space (classroom, theatre, studio, or outdoors);
Time-length (60 min; 90 min; 2+ hours; half-day);

About the MAK Urban Future Initiative:

The MAK Urban Future Initiative is a fellowship program funded by a major grant from the
U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Culture and Education in which cultural researchers
from diverse nations come to Los Angeles for two months to pursue a research topic
related to urban phenomena. The fellows will come from nations that are under-
represented in the Los Angeles discourse; the MAK Center will work closely with them to
create a meaningful cross-cultural exchange. The goal is to generate concepts for the
urban future by stimulating dialogue and mining both Los Angeles and international
resources.

About the MAK Center:

Established in 1994 as an alliance between the MAK Vienna (Austrian Museum of Applied
Art) and Friends of the Schindler House (FOSH) in West Hollywood, the MAK Center is
housed in the Modernist landmark R.M. Schindler House (1921-22) in West Hollywood,
which it uses as a primary presentation space. The MAK Center also maintains and
occupies the Schindler-designed Mackey Apartments (1939) located nearby. The Mackey
Apartments is the home for the MAK Center¹s residency program designed for visiting
artists, architects, and students of architecture.

The MAK Center develops local, national, and international projects exploring art,
architecture and their intersections. The Center seeks out and supports projects and ideas
that test disciplinary boundaries. Acting as a "think tank" for current issues, the Center
encourages exploration of experimental, practical and theoretical aspects in art and
architecture through exhibitions, lectures, performances, screenings, and publications.

About the Program

Twenty-first century digital media makers are pushing the boundaries
of collaboration and copyright, once the exclusive domain of
industry. YouTube further opened up the digital revolution by:
exploding user choice, creating a user-to-user vetting system,
allowing online users to share and mix media, and creating a culture
of mass collaboration where audiences and communities can participate
as co-creators and co-curators. YouTube's success reflects a new
force where users are the agents of social change and the creators of
cultural content.

This day long Arts Intensive will reflect on the changes being led by
digital culture. We will examine how foundations and organizations
might want to position themselves to achieve impact within the
digital cultural space. With a myriad of different speakers from
various sectors, we will contemplate many of the emerging questions
evolving from digital media and culture. (more)

The Center for Cultural Innovation (CCI) is pleased to announce that the Guidelines and Application Forms for Round II of the Investing in Artists grants program are now available for download at www.cciarts.org/funding. Applications for Round II must be received in CCI's San Francisco office on January 11, 2008.

The Investing in Artists grants program is designed to enhance the working lives and creative environment for California artists by funding tools and market strategies that will allow them to create their best work more consistently, and distribute that work more broadly to new audiences. To support those aims, Investing in Artists provides grants in two categories: 1) Artistic Equipment & Tools; and 2) Presenting & Marketing Work.

Response to Round I of the Investing in Artists grants program was extremely encouraging, but we know that there are still many artists in California that we have yet to reach. Please help us in spreading the word about this unique funding opportunity by forwarding this email to artists in your networks. In addition, a representative from CCI will be traveling throughout the state to present an informational workshop on the Investing in Artists program.

Event: Political Equator

Political Equator II: Collective Territory / Territory of Collaboration will be presented by the Visual Arts Department of the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), in collaboration with the haudenschildGarage, Casa Familiar, Centro Cultural Tijuana (CECUT), and inSite, and co-sponsors including the University of California Institute for Research in the Arts (UCIRA), the Division of Arts and Humanities at UCSD, Woodbury University, The New School of Architecture in San Diego, Lui Velazquez in Tijuana, in conjunction with Patronato de Arte Contemporaneo (PAC) and Fondo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes (FONCA), and the PARC Foundation in New York. This 2-day trans-border event takes place on November 16 and 17, 2007, in San Diego and Tijuana. The event is free and open to the public.

The Political Equator Conferences were founded on the premise that if one traces an imaginary line along the US / México border and extends it across a map of the world, what emerges is a political equator roughly corresponding with the revised geography of the post-9/11 world according to Thomas P. M. Barnett's scheme for The Pentagon's New Map. Barnett effectively divided the globe into "functioning core," or parts of the world where "globalization is thick with network connectivity, financial transactions, liberal media flows, and collective security," and non-integrating gap," "regions plagued by politically repressive regimes, widespread poverty and disease, routine mass murder, and ... chronic conflicts that incubate the next generation of global terrorists." This concept set the stage last year for an exploration of Urbanities of Labor and Surveillance. Political Equator II tackles questions surrounding the intersection between sociopolitical and natural domains, foregrounding the notion of a collective territory and the territory of collaboration that transgresses hemispheric boundaries. At the core of such trans-hemispheric sociopolitical and economic dynamics is the conflict between transcontinental borders and the natural and social ecologies they interrupt and seek to erase.

Re-emerging in 2007 in conjunction with Transito(ry) Público / Public(o) Transit(orio), Political Equator II follows an event-based itinerary traveling from LA to San Diego to Tijuana, and back again. Focusing on artistic, urban, and environmental collaboratives from Latin America and Europe, the events and interventions hosted by educational and cultural institutions as well as community-based NGOs cross over into the no man's land of the border zone itself, where the Tijuana River symbolizes the conflicts these collaborative practices seek to expose and engage.

Described as a "carnival of conversations on the move" by architect Teddy Cruz and art historian and critic Grant Kester, co-conveners of the event and members of the Visual Arts faculty at UCSD, Political Equator II begins at 12:30 PM Friday, November 16, 2007, with a "Conversation on the Move" led by Teddy Cruz. This conversation aboard the AMTRAK Pacific Surfliner at Union Station in Los Angeles concludes when the train reaches San Diego; participants move to the haudenschildGarage at 7 PM for a "Table of Collaboration," a conversation involving members of the Argentinian art collaborative Ala Plástica, and the Caracas Think Tank from Venezuela.

At 10 AM Saturday, November 17, participants will reconvene in the border neighborhood of San Ysidro, at The Front at Casa Familiar, a cultural center recently inaugurated by the community-based NGO, for interventions by Mexican art collaboratives Tercerunquinto and Torolab. Following "Food for Thought," a lunch and performance piece, participants will begin a pedestrian border crossing at the Tijuana checkpoint. With the intent of closely observing the collision of the Tijuana River and the busiest checkpoint in the world, a bus tour traces the river deep into this city's sprawling mix of American-style subdivisions, informal settlements, and maquiladora factories. The conference concludes at Centro Cultural Tijuana, CECUT, where at 5 PM provocative French Landscape Architect Gilles Clement will present a public lecture on "The Share of Third Landscape in the Planetary Garden”; at 8 PM, the final event, "Conversation: From Tijuana to the World," engages invited artist s, architects, and critics in a debate projecting the case of Tijuana through the lens of territorial phenomena characterizing border zones worldwide.

Sustaining Yourself as a Working Artist

If you would like to register, please visit
http://www.cciarts.org/register.htm.

NEW! Sustaining Yourself as a Working Artist: A Discussion at the Center
for Cultural Innovation
Recent research indicates that contemporary artists, who envision and
build their practice(s) as individual or small business persons, achieve
success differently than in the past and differently than most other
entrepreneurs. Generally speaking, artists balance greater crossover
investments from multiple jobs, requiring more time management, with
updated outlooks about available resources and limited access to new
technologies.

In the new marketplace, artists are increasingly finding newer ways to
sustain themselves. Join us for an insightful evening with three Los
Angeles based artist-entrepreneurs who use their skills and creativity
to generate multiple income streams in order to achieve healthy
productivity.

Joe Smoke from the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs
will moderate a discussion with Cindy Bennett (visual artist), Lisa
Lynne (music), and Jodi Nelson (film and theater).

Date: Thursday, November 8, 2007
Time: 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

Pocha Nostra seeking videographer

Dear Pocha Nostra colleagues:
We are currently seeking the help of a filmmaker or video artist
interested in working with us in an upcoming performance project. In early
November 07, La Pocha will be premiering ³The New Barbarian Collection Fall
2007: Designer primitives on the runaway runway² at Arnolfini (Bristol, UK).
The performance is ³an X-treme fashion show² about fear/desire of the Other.
As part of this project we are compiling a bank of recorded TV commercials
from different countries that emphasize ethnicity, sexuality, fashion,
religion and/or violence. The idea is for a video artist to record directly
from television a bunch of interesting commercials and then to eliminate the
actual product from the commercial by either editing it out, or replacing it
with some other image. These enigmatic or poetic commercials will be sampled
live during the performance. We have a budget to pay for this and can
explain in more detail the nature of the material via email.

4.) We are also looking for a bilingual writer/theorist interested in
translating a text by Gómez-Peña, from Spanish to English for one of his
upcoming books. We have a performance text in Spanish about the difference
between border art and ³global art² that has never been published in
English. It's about 10 pages long double-spaced. The goal is to have the
translation finished by late 2007 or early 2008. It will appear in one of
Gómez-Peña's upcoming books in late 2008. The translator will have full
credit in the book.

If you are interested in learning more about these collaborations, please
write to Emma Tramposch at pocha@pochanostra.com with ³TV COMMERCIAL
PROJECT² or ³PERFORMANCE TEXT TRANSLATOR² in the subject heading. Please
describe a little about how your experience makes you a good person for the
collaboration.

Looking for graffiti artist

Hi to everyone who does graffiti art,

with this sort of project please send an email with graffiti-based
work samples to jlhlmbrg@yahoo.com.

Thanks for your interest, Joel
