Infuse: Project Areas

Stage 1

One Day Forum:

Facilitated by Keith Gallasch, the forum will encourage open debate and critical discussion on contemporary hybrid practices. The round-table forum will encourage participants to be directly involved in dialogue and discussion with the panel members. The forum will include discussion on:

á  Hybridity: key Australian examples and how do we talk/write about these hybrids

á  Clarifying concepts: hybridity, interdisciplinary, cross-disciplinary

á  Kinds and nature of collaboration, different art form languages

á  New ways of working, re-defining artistic relationships

á  Multi-skilling, resourcing and networking


The forum will have a key focus on developing the participantsÕ knowledge of how to conceptualise and express a project: specificity of description, handling ideas and structuring proposals; and understanding funding (Interarts) definitions.

Stage 2

Mentorship:

Following the forum, participants will be invited to join the mentorship stage, designed to give participants an opportunity to build a relationship with a more experienced artist, and develop a project concept within the field of interdisciplinary arts with their guidance. The program is designed to be flexible and casual, and is based on the model of hub mentoring.
