well done

Well done all, really proud today. You coped well with changes, adjustments and all things new. Generous, responsive and well thought performances. I hope that you learnt a lot and there is still a lot to evaluate and reflect on .Please see below for this excellent opportunity.

We would like to invite your students to our Summer Project, Make Space 2014. It is a free four-week course (2 weeks in July and 2 weeks in September) created and facilitated by performance artist Nic Green for young artists to enhance skills in using performance-making as a lens for personal learning and individual development.

As well as the course, participants will be offered a programme of professional development, the opportunity to be involved with Artsadmin's Youth Board and be introduced to other peer and professional networks. I will pop some flyers in the post but please forward to your students, particularly those interested in performance. Here's the info:

What? Summer project designed for young artists who wish to expand and explore themselves and their creative abilities through Live Art and contemporary performance-making.
Who? 17-24 year olds
When? 9-18 July and 1-12 September, 10am-5pm. You must also be available for the taster session on 6 June at Toynbee Studios. 
Where? At Toynbee Studios and offsite locations. The group will be focussing on London’s waterways, framing research and experimentation around the river and its systems to create a performance event responding to this site. 
How do I apply? Email samtrotman@artsadmin.co.uk with no more than 200 words describing why you would like to take part by Friday 30 May.
Find out more by heading to our website (also check out the photo blog on Artsonline from last year's Make Space)

We are also working with Associate Artists Richard Houguez and the vacuum cleaner on a poster letting artists know how Artsadmin can support their artistic development through workshops, projects, advice sessions and bursaries and will be posting them out soon. It would be brilliant if you could put them up to spread the word to students and soon-to-be graduates.

Finally, we are pulling together a list of degree and masters shows where students are sharing performative practices so that someone from Artsadmin can attend and see the work. It would be great if you could add both myself and karl@artsadmin.co.uk to your invites lists and let us know when these will be taking place.

Speak soon and good luck with all the shows.
