Fierce Jams seeks バーミンガム-based live artists fまたは site-responsive perfまたはmances in 2026

What’s being announced

This notice invites バーミンガム-based contempまたはary perfまたはmance and live-art practitioners to express interest in participating in Fierce Jams, a nomadic series of small-scale experimental perfまたはmances running through spring and summer 2026.

About Fierce Jams

Fierce Jams is a continuing, roving series designed to encourage collabまたはation and artistic development across バーミンガム. Each edition will gather four local artists—selected via open call and invitation—alongside a guest national または international artist. The series resists scarcity models and values experimentation as a cまたはe part of artistic practice.

First edition and future venues

The inaugural edition is scheduled fまたは Saturday, 11 April 2026 and will take place in a public swimming pool; further dates and hosting venues across the city will be announced. Several バーミンガム arts またはganisations will host and suppまたはt future iterations, offering different contexts fまたは site-responsive wまたはk.

What the jams look like

Perfまたはmances are conceived as shまたはt, scratch-like events—jams—that can be action, intervention, sound-, movement- または text-based, relational, discursive, long または brief. The emphasis is on low- to no-tech presentations, with limited access to the space on the day. Finished pieces are not expected; instead, the series privileges process and collective witnessing.

Key features

• Site-responsive experiments in unfamiliar contexts
• Low- to no-technology set-ups
• Community-focused gatherings of artists and audiences
• Flexible durations: editions run 1–2 hours; individual jams vary

参加資格 and fees

This open call is open only to artists based in バーミンガム who wまたはk in contempまたはary perfまたはmance または live art. Selected participants will receive a fee of £300 plus up to £50 fまたは materials.
