Emergency our annual platform for live art and contemporary performance, is now of a legal age to drive!
To get a feel for it, have a look at the 2015 programme and gallery. In 2016 the seventeenth Emergency takes place on Saturday 1 October, at Z-arts, Manchester (12-10pm) with the callout for proposals open from Wednesday 13 July to Friday 19 August, 5pm
With a whole range of spaces to fill - what we now need is a lots of great work! So…
Artists working in live art, contemporary performance, time-based media and interdisciplinary arts are invited to submit proposals of short pieces of work, works in progress or extracts of longer works for inclusion in this event. Proposals are also encouraged for durational, one to one and limited capacity work; performance installation and intervention-based works in and around the spaces.
Emergency is:
• a free, public micro-festival + open submission platform;
• an opportunity for artists to meet, show and peer-review work;
• a selection event for a number of small Works Ahead commissions to be developed + supported by hÅb.
Work can be in any relevant artform/medium, though some live presence is desirable. Show-type work should be 20 minutes max in duration, low tech and suitable for quick turnarounds, self-supporting in terms of props/set/equipment and specialised technology.
We also strongly encourage durational, one to one and limited capacity work; performance installation and intervention-based works in and around the spaces.
As this seems to be a recurrent question this year... Whilst we don't encourage it, you are permitted to submit more than one proposal but it is unlikely that more than one would be successful from a single artists/group.
Emergency will offer an honorarium of up to £100 per piece selected, to cover fees/expenses.
To apply:
• Download the Emergency Open Call Guidance Notes (below)
• Complete the Online Proposal form;
• Complete the Online Monitoring form (please, it really helps us!);

Sorry to anyone who was having a problem submitting the form. We think we've traced the problem - some very large attachments which took us over our storage limit... so anyone sending an image, could you keep it down to max 1mb please.
New deadline is Thu 15 August midday
Taking place on Saturday 5 October at BLANKSPACE and Z-arts, Manchester, we now invite artists working in live art, contemporary performance, time-based media and interdisciplinary arts to submit proposals of short pieces of work, works in progress or extracts of longer works for inclusion in this event. Proposals are also encouraged for durational, one to one and limited capacity work and performance installation and works which inhabit the journey between the spaces.
Emergency is:
- a free public micro-festival;
- an opportunity for artists to meet, show and peer review work;
- a selection event for a number of small Works Ahead commissions to be developed & supported by hÅb;
Work can be in any relevant artform/medium, though some live presence is desirable. Show-type work should be 20 minutes max in duration, low tech and suitable for quick turnarounds, self-supporting in terms of props/set/equipment and specialised technology.
DEADLINE Thu 15 August 2013, midday.
Emergency cannot pay fees or expenses (though we do feed you quite well!)
BLANKSPACE Upstairs Commission
In addition we are looking for one durational piece, working within specific criteria, to occupy the Main Exhibition Space, upstairs at BLANKSPACE. We realise that the criteria are specific and there is therefore a budget of £250 available for this work. This is a challenging space – as it is surrounded by alcoves, in which there will be small performances and interactions taking place, with no sound baffling.
The piece we are looking for must be durational, for a group audience that can come and go and able to co-exist with other pieces – so neither loud (preferably unamplified), nor overly sensitive to external noise spill.

If you're having problems with the Emergency form at http://habarts.wufoo.eu/forms/emergency-2013-proposal-form/, then please wait...
After weeks of working fine it appears to have fallen over, so I'm just trying to find out what's going on.
We'll leave it open til at least midday tomorrow, or later if need be - mail me at emergency@habarts.org and let me know if you're having a problem (what browser you're using would be good too.
Thanks
