Revolution Now!
Gob Squad are holding an international Workshop in Nottingham from 8th to 11th July at a cost of £100. Find out more about Gob Squad at www.gobsquad.com
The 2008 workshop will be the first stage of Gob Squad’s REVOLUTION NOW! series of performance and film projects. Together with 12 workshop participants we’ll be investigating the idea of revolution, what part that idea plays in our lives today and how re-enactment can be a strategy for exploring it.
Participants need not have any video or performance experience. We’re looking to put together a diverse group of participants from various backgrounds. If you’d like to take part, just email us your answers to these questions to workshop@gobsquad.com
- Tell us about yourself and what you do. You may wish to use a CV.
- Describe the last piece of work you were involved in that you enjoyed. What role did you take? What was the outcome?
- Tell us briefly about a piece of art/performance you have seen which has moved, inspired or excited you?
- What interests you in taking part in the workshop?
- In the final scene of a film made by a director of your choice, an actor/actress of your choice is pointing a weapon of your choice at your head and asking you to sing your final song. Whatˆs the film called? What do you sing? How do you sing it? How does your costar react? As the credits roll how do the audience feel? How do you feel about being in such a clichéd scene? Do you get more work?
Closing date for applicants: 31st March.
We’ll let you know if you have a place by 14th April.
