Call for Performance Projects for rises Zora, Deadline: April 7

For rises Zora, a multi-venue, multi-disciplinary arts project, Charlotte Street Curator-In-Residence Jamilee Polson Lacy is looking for experimental art performances—solo or collaborative—in all formats, including:

• dance
• musical performances
• performance art
• sound
• actions or interventions
• spoken word or other oratory works
• installations which include a time-based or performative component

Selected projects will take place at outdoor sites (to be determined by the curator and selected artists) throughout Kansas City between mid-May and mid-June 2013.

Proposed projects, whatever their format, should:

• engage the exhibition theme in some direct or indirect way
• be designed to be temporary—a one-time event—to be removed from the site immediately after the performance event/happening
• be amenable to a public outdoor setting, such as a city park or community garden
