\nAT KOLAJ FEST<\/p>\n

Call to Artists: THINGS-SPEAK<\/h2>\n

Friday, July 12, 3:45 to 5PM
\nCafe Istanbul
\nFrom Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, Mia van Leeuwen is looking for artists interested in working with her to create short performances for The Surrealist Salon on Saturday of Kolaj Fest New Orleans. THINGS-SPEAK is a process of improvisation grounded in free association, stream of consciousness techniques combined with movement and objects as a catalyst for creation. Van Leeuwen welcomes performers, actors, dancers, movers, visual artists, musicians, writers or anyone interested in exploring creative acts. Volunteers will work with van Leeuwen during a closed workshop to develop performances using found objects. Some of these will be provided and participants are invited to bring their own. Past object participants include: a yellow rubber glove, a box of cereal, a framed photograph, an umbrella, a pipe, a pair of bowling shoes, a tea-cup, a chess-set, a wig, a bust of Shakespeare, a bag of feathers. Participants will need to wear clothing they can move freely in and bring to the workshop a writing device, and a minimum of three found objects.<\/p>\n

Note: Space is limited. RSVP required. If this interests you, send an email to info@kolajmagazine.com<\/a> or speak to someone at the Kolaj Fest New Orleans Information Desk. First come, first serve and we will create a waiting list if all the spaces are filled.<\/p>\n
