Expressions of Interest OPEN ON MONDAY 11 MAY
and close Friday 19 JUNE
The hillsceneLIVE team will support artists and groups of artists to create a new performance work to be presented as part of the 2020 hillsceneLIVE REVEL: Flirting the precipice.
Working in partnership with Yarra Ranges Council and Burrinja Cultural Centre, the hillsceneLIVE program is structured to be a comprehensive and nurturing platform to take an idea / challenge / creative work and develop it into a live performance outcome. Integral to our process is a commitment to supporting a connection between the work and the artist, enriching the creative practice of all artists involved. During the program you will be engaged in 4 monthly participation of events held in the Dandenong Ranges (interstate / international artists may also apply, please contact us before you do) providing you with the space to take bold risks into your explorations.
Each year we provoke artists with a theme that stems from the creative climate and this year will be no different. hsL is going through a change this year (just like everything & everyone else) and we wanted this year's theme to reflect that emergence of the new, the creativity found in the pause, Flirting the Precipice.
