Deadline: 14-Feb-22
Another Route is now seeking artists to be part of the Another Route fellowship.
Another Route is a new artistic fellowship that will enable a group of 12 performance makers to embark upon a significant journey to internationalise their creative practice through an 18-month programme of events and residencies taking place across the world. The opportunity involves mentoring, lab events, dialogue and exchange, a 2-week residency and seed commission.
Another Route is a project designed by artists for artists, built upon a spirit of internationalism and a shared understanding of the benefits of ensuring generosity, mutuality and collaboration to connect with the rest of the world. It will bring together brilliant practitioners based across England with a broad range of exciting international and UK partners and collaborators. In spaces across the world, they will have the opportunity to begin talking, imagining and making new performance together.
Elements
The project will involve 12 artists or companies becoming Another Route fellows and embarking on an 18-month programme incorporating five key elements:
- Mentoring by an internationally experienced UK performance company
- Participation in three lab events, one residential lab in England and two taking place internationally, which will be opportunities to explore other artistic cultures and meet a range of different artists and programmers
- A dialogue and exchange process with a carefully chosen international colleague – be they an artist, writer, creative producer, activist or someone else whose skills and knowledge are relevant to the participating artist/company’s practice
- A 2-week residency with a different international partner for each artist/company
- A seed commission supported by Jerwood Arts and a brokered commission / development partnership with a UK and international partner to develop new work during the residency.
Benefits
In order to participate in the project, each artist or company will receive:
- An honorarium of £1,125 towards your time spent in 15 mentoring /dialogue sessions. This honorarium is based on an allocation of £75 for each session to cover the meeting and any prep/reflection time which should be equivalent to half a day maximum (per session).
- A fee of £1,800 to support 1 representative of each artist/company to attend each of the 3 lab events. This is calculated on a maximum of 5 days per lab, including travel days at the rate of £600 per week/lab.
