A symposium for artists, performers, producers, programmers and funders working in outdoor arts and events

Following on from the Moving Out Symposium that was held on Saturday 4th July as part of SURGE FESTIVAL 2020 ONLINE, Martin Danziger and R.M. Sánchez-Camus (Marcelo) have kindly offered to lead two online Zoom sessions to give more time for discussion on the breakout groups they chaired.

You are invited to register for the 60 minute sessions that will be held on the 5th August. Tickets will be limited to 20 people for each session and so will be allocated on a first come, first serve basis.

2pm – Session 1: Designing work

Creating work in direct response to the COVID-19 crisis

Chair: Martin Danziger

Martin Danziger will invite discussion around the impact COVID-19 has had on the practice of artists and the approach artists have taken to developing work in direct response to COVID-19.

3.30pm – Session 2: Publicly engaged work

Strategies to work with the public whilst observing social distancing

Chair: R.M. Sánchez-Camus

R.M. Sánchez-Camus (Marcelo) will be presenting some of his response work created during the Covid emergency and chairing a conversation that explores the tension in practices that are rooted in participation during a period of pandemic lockdown. Together with artists interested in and exploring audience participation, we will explore the ways we continue to work and develop, how to navigate online spaces and bring our art to the public, and consider the importance of care and art in a post-pandemic world of fear.
