Institute for Creative Arts (ICA), Cape Town, South Africa
Deadline: 31 January 2020
The ICA announces a call for proposals for the ICA Live Art Festival 2020 in Cape Town from 22 August – 6 September 2020.
Since 2012, this Festival has challenged and extended the public’s experience of live art in a non-commercial environment. Prior to 2012, there were no exclusive platforms for live art on the continent. Within this vacuum, the ICA Live Art Festival has established a world-renowned meeting ground for live art practitioners – not just to stage work to diverse publics, but to form and sustain relationships with a variety of organisations, places, and cultures.

PROPOSALS
This open call is for both established and emerging artists to submit proposals to present work at the ICA Live Art Festival 2020. The deadline for submissions is 4 pm, Friday 31 January 2020.
The proposal can be for a live performance, a digital work, a performative installation or intervention, or some other form newly imagined. The ICA does not prescribe a specific theme. Works may be short and whimsical, full length or comprise sustained participation over a few days.
Successful applications will receive technical, publicity and administrative support, and some monetary support to augment their budgets.
