The TippingPoint
Commissions
Deadline : 4th May,
2009
The TippingPoint Commissions are a
new initiative for professional artists who wish to create new
performance work in the context of climate change. The theme
of climate change is intended to provide a stimulus and a
springboard for the commissions. Artists are invited to submit
projects that stimulate audiences towards the radical and
imaginative thinking necessary to comprehend a world dominated
by climate change. We are not looking for a didactic
exposition of the subject. Rather, we are seeking proposals
that offer creative reflections on a world that is rapidly
changing and on humanity's role and responsibilities within
it
