Artists Creative Commission Call Out Tameside Culture
Total Budget: £22,000 (Research & Development £3,000 and Commission Budget £19,000)
Application Deadline: 14th January 2025, 11pm
The Idea (Project Aims):
● We are keen to explore Tameside’s rich dance heritage and uncover what matters most to its residents today, providing a creative platform to share their ideas and stories, particularly those rooted in life in Tameside. Dance in Tameside spans traditional folk dancing, clog dancing informed by its industrial past, to a diverse range of dance styles with roots that reveal connections with dance forms from around the world and resonate with the borough’s diverse communities. For guidance on exploring local archives and discovering more about Tameside’s dance heritage, please visit this link.
● We are interested in work in any artform designed for outdoor settings. This could include creating large-scale movement pieces, projection mapping, storytelling in green or urban spaces, or an immersive digital adventure – and everything in between! The final presentation will take place outdoors, so we’re looking for exciting and innovative ideas that spotlight our residents’ voices and reimagine Tameside’s rich heritage in a bold and dynamic way. The artistic vision will be led by you, with a focus on making the outdoors a stage for creativity.
● Whatever the approach, we want Tameside residents to be embedded in the process – throughout the research, development and creation phases, with the theme and content of the piece explored with local participants to ensure an authentic co-creation process.
