Intriguing images and offbeat oddities dotted around and about the historic Z-arts building. Playful, quirky, engaging, and sometimes plain daft: this is Live Art for kids and their adults, adults and their adults. h b|Word of Warning and Z-arts are now calling for proposals for Haphazard 2024, our seventh free 'all ages' Live Art day taking place on Saturday 11 July, 1-4pm in and around Z-arts, Hulme, Manchester, M15 5ZA. To date, Haphazard has seen a giant periscope, a lonely wookie, a golden toilet, clown-dancing, and a tiny bee-shaped world… This is not Live Art for children, but Live Art for ALL AGES - and we mean from tot to timeworn, 8 months to 80 years - so work should have appeal for adults and children alike. From experience, what works best are big surreal images, interesting repetitive movement, and nothing too text heavy. We have access to a number of spaces within Z-arts: a caf , an atrium, some large rooms and small spaces, some stairwells, a studio theatre, and a big black box theatre that we may well use as a 'dark gallery'. Work immediately outside the building may also be possible. Durational, intervention, and 'come and go' work seems to work the best - we're not really looking for sit-down theatre shows. This year, in particular, we are looking for a piece that can work in the Atrium to be viewed/interacted with solely from above. To hear more about what we think works for Haphazard join us for a short, informal zoom meeting on Tuesday 31 March at 3pm. Sign up or have a look at the recording of the information session we did in 2025. For details: https://haphazard.posthaven.com Proposal deadline: 5pm, Friday 8 May 2026.
