Games Time WANTS YOU!

Games Time WANTS YOU!



* Ever fancied being centre stage in front of 12,000 people?

* Ever wanted to gain real working experience of being part of a professional world-class show?

* Want to do something totally different as a team building exercise for your group or organisation?

* Or maybe you want to be part of celebrations for the London 2012 Olympic Games in your region?



Déda Producing, in partnership with Derby City Council, Derby Festé, QUAD, and Derby LIVE, is looking to recruit volunteers to be part of the cast for Games Time.



Games Time is a spectacular live outdoor stage show combining music, video, fireworks, professional dancers and 160 members of the local community.



The event is funded by Legacy Trust UK, an independent charity set up to create a lasting cultural legacy from the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games across the UK, and Arts Council England.



Designed and written to embrace the spirit of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, Games Time made its debut to great acclaim in front of 10,000 spectators on the sea-front at Skegness in July.



It will be showing throughout the East Midlands in 2012, in Loughborough, Northampton and Derby.



Volunteers will be rehearsing in 2012 and will have the chance to work with professional dancers and choreographers, as well as seeing how a large outdoor show is put together.



We are looking for individuals and groups, aged 13 and over, from in and around Derby, Derbyshire and the surrounding area. You don’t need to be a dancer or a performer but we are looking for people who will commit to the rehearsal schedule and who want to make the most of this opportunity.



Interested individuals or groups need to contact Déda Producing by 10 February 2012. A series of taster sessions will be held in March 2012 where potential cast members can get a taste of what’s involved in taking part.



To express an interest please contact Clare Limb at c.limb@deda.uk.com or call 01332 374681 or visit www.gamestime.org.uk.

Call for East and West Midlands based Filmmakers and Photographers (deadline: 5-12-11)

Call for East and West Midlands based Filmmakers and Photographers (deadline: 5-12-11)



QUAD in Derby is issuing a final call-out to all filmmakers and photographers based in the East and West Midlands to be part of a major cross region exhibition in 2012. The exhibition, entitled East Meets West, will be part of a programme of ‘off-year’ events for FORMAT International Photography Festival and will be on display at QUAD in Derby from March to May 2012 and Wolverhampton Light House from June to August 2012.



East Meets West is offering a chance for submissions from artists within the region and additional opportunities to support local talent. Selected artists will be invited to exhibit at QUAD, Derby and Light House, Wolverhampton or to take part in critiques and review sessions with film and photography industry experts. Filmmakers will also have the opportunity to have their work screened before feature films at QUAD.



Submissions are welcome from photographers and filmmakers of any age and background who are currently based in the East or West Midlands.



Submissions should be existing photographic works and short films that can broadly relate to the theme of Heroes. This could be as straightforward as depicting the super heroics of costumed heroes or documenting simple or unnoticed acts of heroism that occur every day. Alternatively, they could explore the darker facets of this theme, focusing on the sinister acts of an anti hero or villain. East Meets West is also open to emerging artists who have recently graduated from a Midlands University during the past two years.



The deadline to apply for East Meets West is by midnight on 5th December 2011 using a submission form available from the FORMAT website: www.formatfestival.com/exhibitions/exhibition/east-meets-west-open-call



The page also includes full details about East Meets West. The Jury will include: International Photographer Simon Roberts, QUAD & FORMAT International Photography Festival’s Artistic Director Louise Clements; QUAD Director of Audience Engagement, Adam Buss; QUAD Film Programmer Adam Marsh and Light House Curator & Educational Projects Co-ordinator, Kathryn Kliszat
