We've just been informed about a great opportunity for artists, practitioners, students and freelance performance makers. Have you come across TDPT? (It stands for Theatre, Dance and Performance Training.) There's a TDPT Journal, and a TDPT Blog, but now it gets even better - there are TDPT Blog Awards too. We'll let the TDPT team tell you all about it: read on!
.
.
The TDPT blog was launched last year to encourage a growing community of artists, academics, practitioners and researchers to share practice and debate issues that are currently alive within the disciplines of theatre, dance and performance training. In November to mark the one year anniversary of the launch of the site we will be launching a series of blog posts supported by the new TDPT Blog Artist Awards.
One of our aims was to engage a new audience for the TDPT journal while also creating an online space that encourages spontaneous and productive conversation and debate. We are grateful to everyone who has posted their work on the site to date and we are looking to further grow our network of artists, researchers and performance-makers. The blog currently has around 1000 visitors a month from around the world.
There's Cash!
We are keen to encourage artists, practitioners, students and freelance performance-makers to engage with the blog and are launching the TDPT Blog Artist Awards which aim to facilitate those not in full-time employment and students to be able to contribute to the site and the community. We have small pots of money (£50-150) to support artists who pitch an idea for a contribution to the site, either audio-visual, text-based or audio that disseminates an area of performer training that may be of interest to the wider community.
But You Have to Apply!
To apply, please write a short proposal (no more than 300 words) outlining your suggested submission, format and any media you intend to use. You should also include in your statement how you intend to disseminate your post to your networks and help build new audiences for the blog. Please email proposals to the blog editors:-
- Laura Bissell l.bissell@rcs.ac.uk,
- Maria Kapsali M.Kapsali@leeds.ac.uk
- Bryan Brown B.Brown@exeter.ac.uk.
