There are lots of opportunities to get involved in IBT - from discussion and writing forums to parties and artists' and group tours. See how you can get involved.
Inbetween Time provides a unique opportunity to experience a wide range and mix of live art and experimental performance. Arnolfini staff can work with artists/educators to offer introductory talks and tours through the work.
Hundreds of groups have already made use of Arnolfini as an inspiring source for learning. Arnolfini staff can provide introductory talks and tours of InBetween Time as and our exhibitions as well as support with planning a visit. Artist/educators can run workshop sessions, for which there is a charge. Group visits should be booked at least two weeks in advance.
Please contact lindsay.hughes@arnolfini.org.uk 0117 917 2319 for details and bookings.
As ever with IBT there are lots of opportunities for you to get even more involved….
Throughout Inbetween Time, artists presenting work within the festival will be invited to lead tours of the programme from their own special perspective. A full schedule will be available shortly.
RealTime is Australia's largest arts magazine distributing 27,000 copies bi-monthly and free to over 1000 points across Australia, as well as to international subscribers. It provides quality writing about innovation in the arts focusing on contemporary performance, dance, music, sound art, visual art and new media art with particular attention paid to the relationship between new media, performance and the resulting hybrids.
For Inbetween Time, RealTime will conduct an intensive 10-day writing workshop. Selected writers will join the editorial team, Keith Gallasch, Virginia Baxter and Gail Priest, to respond to the festival. Writings will be completed and submitted in morning sessions, edited and then placed online later in the day. Participation in the workshop requires a willingness to write on the run, the courage to frankly discuss your writing with others and to commit to the intensity of the whole festival experience. Having to write about a festival as it unfolds sharpens the senses and strengthens writing skill. RealTime’s commitment is ‘experiential writing’ believing the writer’s first commitment is to creating an economic, accurate and vivid evocation of the work experienced.
Participation in the workshop is by selection only. Application details to follow.
Moderator: Daniel Brine (Live Art Development Agency) Speakers: Helen Cole (Arnolfini), Fiona Winning (Performance Space, Australia), Thomas Frank (Sophiensale, Berlin), Mark Timmer (Gasthuis, Netherlands), Sophie Cameron (New Work Network), The Special Guests, Daniel Belasco Rogers (plan b), Robert Pacitti, Lone Twin, David Weber Krebbs, Martin del Amo (tbc)
How do artists and producers work together? This forum, a collaboration between Inbetween Time and New Work Network, attempts to explore this varied and unique relationship. What is risk, and how is it nurtured? The two words ‘nurture’ and ‘risk’ seem almost an antithesis of one another, but together they reflect the lifeblood of Live Art and experimental practice - as well as that of the producer/ artist bond. To nurture is to take care of, to protect, and to develop. Risk, on the other hand can be calculated, but there is always an element of chance-taking. Risk may contain the possibility of something bad happening but the rewards are often high!
In the context of Inbetween Time we invite you to bear witness to, and to share in conversations on working models with a number of local, national and international artists and producers/ curators. Anticipated debates concern the artist’s and curator’s intended enunciations for their work, the seepage between the two roles, commissioning, and potential contexts or settings for the dissemination of process and production.
Hop aboard the IBT London routemaster bus throughout the festival. All are invited aboard to pose questions, take time out and check out resources. Dr Roberts, Spaghetti Club and other artists from the festival will be present to share ideas and thoughts with you. So please join them for tea, biscuits and maybe a sandwich and receive a relaxed response to the snarling beast of critical debate.
The kind of DJs you’d normally only expect to find in your front room on a Monday evening….Glam up.
By Friday evening things will be hotting up, but the Spaghetti Club are taking a relaxed approach with a Three Minute Warning designed to chill-out your cockles:On the theme of ‘Live Lounge Lizards’ this evening will provide masseuses for your pleasure, cigar sellers for your satisfaction, food for your contentment, music for your delight and delectable performance work for your consumption.
Any artist is invited to present a piece of work that moves away from their usual practice to be included in the evening, this could be video, sound, performance or object based. There are only two rules: the piece needs to be as low tech as possible and take only three minutes. If you would like to participate please contact Elaine Kordys on peeka@kordys.fsnet.co.uk by 30 January.
Kick off the festival and the opening of This Secret Location in style. Presented in association with Australia Council and the Australian High Commission. DJs from 8pm.
Moderator Johannes Birringer. Speakers Kira O’Reilly, Dr Sally Jane Norman, Dr Simon Jones (Bodies in Flight), David Toop, Lynette Wallworth
The artists contributing to This Secret Location employ a range of strategies to disrupt our sensory and conceptual relationships with our surroundings and each other. By manipulating the movements and experiences of audiences they re-imagine the physical, emotional and cultural boundaries between self, others and environment. The question ‘where do we stop and our surroundings begin?’ underpins the works presented within This Secret Location. This symposium brings together artists, curators and theorists to explore this and other key questions about contemporary presence, identity and hybridity.

Come and join us for a glass of wine to celebrate the launch of We Love You. This Revolver publication is part of an ongoing and acclaimed series exploring the issue of audience. Material from the 2004 We Love You symposium is presented in the form of transcribed discussions, presentations and interviews. The title of the book and the symposium refer to the Rolling Stones song of the same name and signifies the intimate bond that can exist between the artists and audience. This new publication approaches the subject from a number of perspectives including those of architects, artists, curators, producers, directors and political and cultural institutions in the European sphere.
The Live Art Archives - first established in 1994 and now comprising several databases, websites, poster, handbill and video/DVD collections relating to UK-based Live Art events - have recently transferred to the University of Bristol Theatre Collection. These archives include a unique video collection featuring contemporary performance since the 1980s, which, with financial assistance from the Arts and Humanities Research Council, is to be digitally preserved for posterity and wider access. Further information for visitors/researchers wishing to use the archives available at http://www.bris.ac.uk/theatrecollection/generalinfo.html. This reception is to launch the archive.

Richard Dedomenici is a one-man subversive think-tank and inbetween time’s writer in residence. Richard will be keeping a doubtless irreverent account of the festival’s goings on, engaging in poetic acts of low-grade civil disobedience and creating subtle anarcho-surrealist interventions. You can follow Richard’s activities on his weblog at www.arnolfini.org.uk/pages/visitingwriter, see his bookworks exhibited in the bookshop or join him on his unique tour of the festival.
Winding things down- we don’t want to have to say goodbye, but all good things must come to end…
Richard Dedomenici is February's Visiting Writer. Richard's practice involves the production of small independent objects and publications that are often irreverent, thought-provoking and funny. Throughout February, Richard will be curating a display of his work for the Arnolfini bookshop cabinet. A one-man subversive think-tank, Richard Dedomenici’s poetic acts of low-grade civil disobedience forcibly ask pertinent questions of society.
Richard will also be leading a tour of the Inbetween Time Festival (details to be announced as part of the IBT programme) and will return to Arnolfini on 2 March to give a presentation that will include a new piece of work commissioned by Arnolfini. You can also read Richard's contributions on www.arnolfini.org.uk/about/visitingwriter.php
