Description

Listening to a misused, abused, stream

The Friends of Bradford's Becks are holding an open competition to select an artist to create a listening sculpture so that the Beck, buried in a culvert beneath the city streets, can be heard flowing. The competition for the design has a prize of £2000. Funding will then be provided to realize the work which the winner will be given a contract to complete.

This is an opportunity for an artist to design and deliver a permanent public artwork in a prime city centre site. The work will be visually engaging, generating empathy for the imprisoned Beck and also reflecting Bradford's pride and history. This opportunity is open to artists working with materials suitable for permanent outdoor artworks that require minimum maintenance. Full support is available for the acoustic design.

The current situation of low and no pay in many parts of our industry is very damaging, and a hot topic for everybody whether the work is live or recorded. Funnily enough, not all of the issues are about money. Other things such as hours, health and safety, cancellations and more are all areas of confusion and have caused contention.

Description

What might science have to say about why dancing together is such a universal human activity across all cultures? And how might artists and scientists work together to address such questions?

Choreographer Matthias Sperling, social psychologist Daniel Richardson and cognitive neuroscientist Guido Orgs introduce their collaborative research project investigating moving together in groups in this lecture demonstration. Combining choreographic practice and scientific methods, they studied what it means to move in synchrony, how it affects those who do it (performers) and those who watch it (perceivers).
