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

The call is open on a rolling basis, closing 17 days before each event.

To propose some work - see information at:

*The priority is for Greater Manchester artists, but we will consider applications from other North West based artists.
