Day one is a symposium, questioning how to best support practitioner and artform development the symposium will scrutinize structures for supporting emergent talent through examples of past and present practice in order to move on to discuss possible futures. Amongst other questions we will ask: What is emergent practice? Do practioners need to emerge for themselves? What are the best structures to support developing practioners? What creative skills will be important in the future?
£5 / £4 for full day
Day two will provide opportunities for emergent practitioners to enroll in workshops with either Matthew Lenton, Director of Vanishing Point or Ian White.
£4.50 / £3.50 per workshop
Day three will present new work from emergent Scottish practitioners, including Oliver Braid (image above Oliver Braid, I’ll Look Forward To It, New Work Scotland Programme 2011/12, Collective, Edinburgh), Jack McConville, Ash Reid, Gordon Schmidt and a film programme by Amelia Bywater and Christian Newby.
