Time to Revive - a new vision for INCITE 2020
Force Majeure is offering artists from around Australia the opportunity to participate in the company’s industry-leading professional development program INCITE completely free of charge and supported by a fee and travel subsidy.
Responding to the COVID-19 pandemic and the devastating effect it has had on artists in Australia, INCITE Revive will be an opportunity to gather and share once again.
Open to artists and creatives working across all disciplines and roles including dancers, actors, theatre-makers, designers and directors, INCITE shares Force Majeure’s devising methodology to explore the use of movement and text in performance.
This one-week, 6-day edition will run in November 2020. Artistic Director Danielle Micich says it will provide a chance for artists to take paid time to focus on their practice and skills development without financial pressure or the requirement of an outcome.
“An important aspect of being an artist is finding your network, making connections and using this to empower your work. This opportunity is here for those who may not have had the capacity to take part in much needed professional development. I am very thankful to those who are supporting this initiative so that we can stay connected as we emerge back into studios and theatres,” Micich says.
Joining Danielle to lead the sessions will be longstanding Company Artist Ghenoa Gela and independent maker, Liesel Zink, who will each bring their unique viewpoints to the program.
“INCITE allowed me as a maker and performer to realise I have more potential. It awakened my impulses for creativity and inspiration, and presented new and expectant pathways. Which was proper exciting, I highly recommend any artist to do INCITE,” says Ghenoa Gela.
Expressions of Interest are open to mid-career and established Australian-based artists working in all artistic disciplines who have an interest in exploring the use of movement and text. It is open to all who haven’t participated in our INCITE Intensive program before – past Masterclass participants are welcome to apply.
INCITE Revive will only be offered this year, made possible by the support of the City of Sydney, Create NSW and Carriageworks.
