Event Summary
Event Description
A gathering for anyone interested in Live Art and contemporary performance to meet, chat and try ideas out.
If you're a North West artist - this is your chance to test out a short performance, intervention, or durational work in front of an informal audience.
If you're an audience member looking for something a little bit different - this is your chance to take a few risks and meet some artists in our social experiment.
Social Experiment is a semi-regular evening event at Manchester's Contact
The next date is Thursday 19 November - with a deadline of 2 November, 12 noon for proposals.
Further dates:
Thu 11 Feb 2027 Deadline Mon 25 Jan 2027, 12:00 noon
