Art Asia is looking for a local artist/film maker to create a short artistic film inspired by an exciting project entitled ART to DANCE, for inclusion in an exhibition at the Southampton City Art Gallery in Autumn 2012.
Inspirational works have been selected from Southampton City Art Gallery’s collection by Mayuri Boonham, a leading British exponent of South Asian Dance, and will be on display throughout January and then again in the Autumn.
A weekend programme of workshops, talks and sharings by international artists exploring the creative connections between visual art and dance will run alongside the exhibition in January. In February half term talented young dancers will create a new dance piece inspired by the exhibition.
We wish to commission an artist/film maker to create a film which uses the dance project as a starting point, but which takes a very creative approach and is inspired by the ART to DANCE theme of creative connections between visual art and dance. We do not want a documentary record of the project, but a piece of film art which will be shown in the Autumn when the exhibition returns to the gallery.
ART to DANCE is part of Art at the Heart – a partnership between Southampton’s arts organisations and the City Council to bring exciting events and projects to Southampton’s emerging Cultural Quarter.
You will need to be free to attend the ART to DANCE weekend programme on 28th-29th January and the half term dance project 16th – 18th February.
There is a fee of £500 payable to the artist to cover their costs.
