HELLO MY NAME IS

Sans Hotel

Presented by Vitalstatistix

Hello my name is is a performance about getting to know yourself and strangers. Created by Nicola Gunn and award-winning company Sans Hotel, this startlingly original show is warm like a spring day and unexpectedly fun like a game of table tennis.

It is set in a community centre, which is just a room we call a community centre, and the audience are cast as workshop participants. Hello my name is is a beautifully chaotic, joyous and uplifting event that reminds us how to engage with and celebrate the act of living (and conga lines).

Opportunities for artists

It's not just festival time of year, it's also 'get involved at Vitals' time of year. We're sending out the call for artists to participate in Adhocracy 2014 and the Future Present residency with Rosie Dennis...

ADHOCRACY 2014

ADHOCRACY is Vitalstatistix’s national artist hothouse, supporting the creative development of new experimental and interdisciplinary projects. Artists from around Australia join us to create, converse and critique in one space (our beautiful heritage-listed home, Waterside) over the June Queen’s Birthday long weekend.

This is how it works: selected artists spend the long weekend in an open studio environment developing new work which can span live art, theatre, dance, sound, installation, media and technology, socially-engaged practice and more. Audiences engage with the artists and their creative process through a public program of artist talks and work-in-progress showings.

We are now seeking proposals from artists across Australia for this unique creative development opportunity. We will select between five and seven projects for participation.

Download the info you need to apply here.

Applications close Monday 31^st March.

To get a sense of what ADHOCRACY is like, view the public program from 2013 here and watch a short video about ADHOCRACY 2013 here.

FUTURE PRESENT: artists, primary industry & climate change, artist-in-residence project at Vitalstatistix for ADHOCRACY 2014

We are seeking 10 South Australian artists to join this residency, collaborating with lead artist Rosie Dennis, Artistic Director of Urban Theatre Projects (NSW). 

FUTURE PRESENT: artists, primary industry & climate change is an interdisciplinary project exploring the critical global issue of climate change and economic transition.

The project, commissioned by Vitalstatistix for ADHOCRACY 2014, is led by Rosie Dennis, Artistic Director of Urban Theatre Projects (NSW). A maker, performer, writer and curator, Rosie creates work renowned for distinct beauty, universality and currency. She is one of Australia’s foremost makers of contemporary art, drawing from relationships with non-artist experts and on-the-street research.

Expressions of interest due Sunday 23 March.
