Would you like to host an innovative networked event from your home, as part of a simultaneous event at the Brighton Fringe Festival in the UK?
"make-shift" (http://www.make-shift.net) is a is a unique and intimate networked event that speaks about the fragile connectivity of human and ecological relationships. It takes place simultaneously in two houses, connected via the internet and a purpose-built online interface. Paula Crutchlow and Helen Varley Jamieson (one in each house) work with participants in the houses to present scripted and visually poetic performance interspersed with webcam videography, avatar puppetry and audience interaction. Everything is streamed to online audiences who can also contribute text chat visible on the interface to everyone throughout the event.
On May 11, 12 & 13 "make-shift" will be presented at the Brighton Fringe Festival, with Paula in Brighton and Helen in Berlin; we have a house lined up for the 11th and 12th, but we are still searching for a house/apartment and host(s) in Berlin for the afternoon of Sunday 13 May. The house needs a stable internet connection, a light-coloured wall suitable for projection, and space for 8 or 10 participants to gather. More information is on the web site, http://www.make-shift.net and click on "hosting make-shift" - or email brokers@make-shift.net.
"make-shift" is an ecologically aware house party with a difference, bringing together people from around the world in a discursive, thought-provoking and fun event. The audience are invited to participate in various ways before, during and after the event, and their contributions are incorporated into future events as the project evolves.
Please email brokers@make-shift.net for more information about hosting the event in Berlin on May 13, or if you are interested in participating at the houses that weekend. If you would like to watch online, go to http://www.make-shift.net for a live link at the time of the event.
