This is an open call for practitioners, artists and companies to present works-in-progress in front of a live audience.

ICIA University of Bath in partnership with Salisbury Arts Centre, is looking for new contemporary performance work that has been devised, choreographed or produced. We offer a platform for work-in-progress and new performance ideas to test in front of a live audience at ICIA University of Bath on Saturday 26 November.

Practice is an exciting opportunity for theatre, dance and live art companies, artists and practitioners to test emerging ideas and material. It provides a place for work to be shown and encourages an opportunity for open discourse on the work presented. It is a place for mistakes, a place for practice and a place where something special might just happen.

So if you work with dance, if you work with theatre, if you’re a live artist, if you have an idea, if you have an experiment, why not test it at Practice?

There will be four Practice events each year, two at Salisbury Arts Centre and two at ICIA University of Bath. At least one company or artist from Practice each year will be offered one of the following opportunities:

• To have their full work presented by Salisbury Arts Centre
• A commissioning package from ICIA

In addition Practice will be attended by producers from:

• BAC (Battersea Arts Centre)
• CEW (Creative Ecology Wiltshire – formerly TheatreWorks and Wiltshire Dancing)
• Theatre Bristol or Activate Performing Arts (Dorset)

If selected, you will:

• Present between ten and twenty minutes of performance material
• Receive £100 performance fee plus a contribution towards expenses of £50
• Showcase your work at an exciting live event at ICIA University of Bath on Saturday 26 Nov
• Have the opportunity to engage in a creative dialogue, about your work and that of the other artists, with real audiences to help inform your process and practice
• Meet other artists and companies presenting and develop potential future partnerships
