[dance-tech] OPEN CALL / UNI_Q *Live Media Installation*

(Please feel free to forward, but first of all, get involved and dream on!)


Open Call
for participation and realization of a


*Project of Social Choreography and Dreaming:
UNI_Q -Live Media Installation*


This is a *uni_q *opportunity of being and making a difference in the world
by sharing your dreamed realities.

We are looking for dreams (in text and audio formats) for a performative
multimedia installation,
which will be shown 30.1.-8.2.2009 at Zodiak, Center for new dance, Helsinki
/ SideStep Festival/ Project of Social Choreography, "U. N. I. (You and I)"

You can contribute your dream as a text / recorded audio file. Dreams in
text format will find some kind of sonic form either in the studio or as
live speech as part of the displaying of the installation. One may
participate as an anonymous contirubutor or with your "signature", but as
the dreams are mixed in the real time with other dreams and sounds, they
will flow in and out of each, layering with other kinds of soundsscapes, all
together creating a dreamsonic realtime radio play, which will be streamed.
One may also share one´s dream in a live situation during the festival by
using the DreamsOpenAir -microphone or leave dreams in a DreamsInbox for
someone else to give voice to them.

Send your dreams, questions, ideas and get connected:

*Project of Social Choreography and Dreaming:
UNI_Q -Live Media Installation*


is a hybrid process which understands art as an event, experience and site
of sharing and connecting. It explores and plays with the in-betweens of
different art forms, social realities and potentials and invites different
kinds of communities and individuals into active participation, sharing and
performing ones dreams and connecting with others´. UNI_Q is a constellation
of senses, perceptions, experiences and imagination which invites people for
recognizing new pathways, sharing worlds in and around us and generating
ethics of interbeing. The goal is to open up for embracing atmosphere of a
collective happening: experimental space for dynamical continuums, movement,
meeting and connectedness in and between bodies, consciouness, meaning and
potential.


The starting points for the concept of the project:

*Social Choroegraphy (Michael Klien & Steve Valk)
*Social Dreaming (Gordon Lawrence )
*Relational Aesthetics (Nicolas Bourriaud)
