Movement Fest Open call

Movement Fest Open call<h3>A Void: Open Call for Movement Proposal | Movement Festival 2022 Guidelines</h3>“Today, by radio” are the first three words taken from “A Void”, a translated work of literatureoriginally entitled La Disparition by Georges Perec. The core framework of the novelis to avoid using the letter “e” throughout the entirety of the 300 page novel- the starting point is the constraint itself, the constraint turning intoplay. Many of Perec’s works deal with absence, loss and identity, following thetraumatic events of WW2 and the loss of his own parents at an age when he wastoo young to remember them. The unusual work by Perec, who treasuredanti-conformism, unrolls through infantine games, often through word play.  We use "A Void" as this year’s prompt loosely, responding to our own impulse toconsider in a serious yet playful way the conditions within which performanceneeds to be / has been reconsidered under the pandemic, often in the absence ofa physical audience or from the perspective of the audience, in the absence ofphysical bodies. This year’s festival continues to place literature in relationto performance. In addition, a key part of this year’s program is the use ofradio which has been a central pillar to Eaton HK’s cultural programming in therecent years. Creators may consider including digital radio as a component oftheir proposal.  Festival Dates: March, 2022
