New Work Network
New Work Network is a sector-wide, artist-led organisation that brings together artists, producers, venues, academics and other practitioners involved in the new work sector in the UK. The organisation builds on the existing cross-over between a wide variety of practices in the fields of performance, live art, new theatre, new dance, installation, video art, digital art, time-based and interdisciplinary arts including those that embrace new technologies.
Their project "Networked Bodies"is a radical and democratic awards scheme for the creation of new work in the live medium. It hands decision-making back to you - the artists, producers, critics and academics via a unique, online submission, review, discussion and voting process.
In 2004 Networked Bodies will offer 3 awards of £5000 for the production of new work to professional artists working in Live Art, live/interdisciplinary practice and contemporary performance and it offers New Work Network's membership the opportunity to discuss and decide who should get awards. Winning projects must be produced and shown at least once in England by the end of the financial year in which the round takes place.
