Description

We’re giving you the chance to take a show to Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2012, with two funding prizes of £10,000 for brand-new productions. The winners will also receive mentoring from experienced theatre practitioners.

As always, we’re looking for innovative, creative ideas – anything from mime to opera. We want to see ambitious projects with more than three people on stage. For inspiration, read about how the award helped 2011’s winners, RashDash Theatre – who this year won their second Fringe First award – and the critically acclaimed Bridge Theatre Company.

Here’s the boring bit. You MUST download and read the Terms & Conditions in full before you apply – we get loads of applications that are ineligible simply because people haven’t read the terms.

We will not consider late applications under any circumstances, including technical difficulties, so allow yourself plenty of time to get your application uploaded.

If you would like some advice about your application, on Wednesday 9 November we are providing nine members with one-to-one Spa Fund Therapy sessions, hosted by IdeasTap’s Laura McFarlane. Places will be booked on a first-come, first-served basis, so keep an eye on the Spa page and group to be first in line.

Please note: to apply, you must be aged 16-25 on the closing date and live in the UK.

If you are having technical difficulties please email info@ideastap.com.

To find out how to apply, click on the How to respond tab at the top of the page.

This brief closes on Wednesday 9 December 2011 at 5pm.

Elspeth had the opportunity to record sound from Medical Imaging equipment at The London Independent Hospital. Included in her recordings were the Doppler Ultrasound, which is typically used for vascular imaging, and also CT and Dexa Scan Machines. They were able to create and capture some incredible electronic and anatomical sounds that perfectly capture Brooke Robert’s design ethos, ‘Science inspired Design’.
Within this medical sound world tracks by BBC Radiophonic Workshop pioneer Delia Derbyshire are woven together with the music of Corelli and Monterverdi.

Liz Jones appeared in Daily Mail on 17th of January 2011, the incoherent plot line, bizarre conclusions reached in the text, author’s absurd experiences and manic fixation on the subject of young women in various activities, makes the article a fascinating read when taken out of the tragic context. Alex Nikiporenko – CiR09 Music – is trying to relate to the absurdist nature of the article and the profound tastes of the Daily Mail readership alike through the combination of wondering, semi-tonal harmonic language and vocal styles ranging from music theatre to sprechstimme.

I went to see the show of Phisical Pixels and the exhibition is well worth a visit. They’ve created three installations that blew my mind. They are using technology for a real sensory journey and so much could be done with their products.

Initially created for autistic children, the series of rocking robots that they’ve made could be used for major live shows as each of them releases musical notes and it’s connected to Ableton. Perfromers could also easily get involved.

They’ve also managed to merge electronics with the natural environment. Brushing the grass opens up the fan-like blinds above, thanks to the conductivity of the skin detected by sensors under the soil. This could easily be adapted for all sorts of events.

The show was announced as one of the top six shows to see during Design Week and it’s on until the 28th of October.

Inside Playful Minds at the Arts Gallery, University of the Arts London, 272 High Holborn, London, WC1V 7EY continues until 28th October, Mon-Tues 11am-6pm.
