BREEDING GROUND 2009
Breeding Ground: New Writing and Digital Media for South Australia’s most outstanding new writers and emerging media artistic investigators.
What is the way ahead for writers using new media tools? How does new media writing affect the way writers approach the making of texts? How does an audience read new media text? What are the advantages of online writing/? How do young writers collaborate with other art-forms? How does new media change writing practice?
No longer is literature bound by print, there are many opportunities for writers to experiment with new kinds of media, different voices and experimental platforms, both independently and in collaboration with other writers or other fields and disciplines.
Carclew plans to submerge our most exciting new writers and emerging media artist investigators in a specialist laboratory where they will engage in writing experimentation, generate creative energy and offer skill exchange as a way of building their own methods, theories and definitions that investigate notions of ‘innovation’ and ‘relevance’. Taking place in 2009 the Breeding Ground: New Writing and Digital Media project is interested in hearing from young word artists and writers who would like to become involved.
Breeding Ground 2009 will take place as part of Come Out 2009
25 – 29 May 2009, 10am - 4pm
Stay tuned for more details! Or call Georgie Davill, Industry Development Program Officer on 8267 5111
WHAT IS BREEDING GROUND
Breeding Ground is a unique project whereby an artist of national or international significance ignites, inspires, provokes and challenges local talented writers and digital media audiences to stimulate both critical debate and display the latest innovations and professional directions in its chosen field.
Breeding Ground is a unique opportunity for SA’s next wave of arts leaders to engage in specialist professional development. Breeding Ground creates opportunity for them to come together to debate their practice and share their methods. This project nurtures young people who are making brave, exciting new art and provides them with an unheralded opportunity to work together.
Breeding Ground responds directly to a strong need within the youth arts sector for professional development and considered laboratory – for skills advancement, sector expansion, workforce development.
Breeding Ground is designed to invest in industry development by encouraging creative relationships, practical-forum and professional networks among our state’s most exceptional young arts makers.
