An O.P.E.N. call for participants, for the public engagement initiative of the SG International Festival of Arts 2014!

As you may now know, the Singapore International Festival of Arts is back on the calendar this year. The platform’s public engagement initiative, the O.P.E.N. – open, participate, enrich, negotiate art – is seeking 100 passionate and committed individuals who are 17 years and above to be part of a participatory public arts project, Ways of Wandering.

Interested participants, who need not have prior arts experience, are invited to the O.P.E.N. call on Saturday, 15 February 2014 for a sampling of the arts experience that will make up the rehearsal process for a performance. At the O.P.E.N. call, taster workshops will be led by five Singapore artist-mentors:

Philip Tan (art of sound)

Joavien Ng (contemporary dance)

Jeremiah Choy (theatre)

Sharda Harrison (theatre)

Jason Wee (multi-media)

At the end of the O.P.E.N. call, the selected participants will work with the five artist-mentors over a four-month period starting March 2014, to create their work that will be presented at two heritage sites in mid-July 2014. The O.P.E.N. call will be held from 11am to 5pm on Saturday, 15 February 2014 at 72-13, Mohamed Sultan Road.

Registration is free, email or call 8424 2785.
