interplay_2027 Open Call, Live Online Performance > Our annual open call for artists exploring live digital performance. This opportunity is open to local, national and international artists of all abilities, career stages, disciplines, and locations.
interplay_2027 × Matriarchs Uprising Festival, Yukon Indigenous Artist Co-Commission > A special co-commission opportunity for a Yukon-based Indigenous female artist to develop a live online performance with additional mentorship and technology support. The selected work will be presented as part of interplay_2027 and will also be featured in a special live cinema program co-presented with Matriarchs Uprising Festival, as well as through Matriarch's Indigi-Dance on Screen on-demand programming.
Please review the eligibility and support offered through each call before applying.
Live online performance refers to artistic work intentionally created or adapted for real-time presentation in digital spaces. These works exist at the intersection of performance, technology, and virtual presence and are grounded in liveness: the ephemeral, co-present exchange between artist(s) and audience through an online medium.
Projects may incorporate pre-recorded material, but the live component should be central to the artistic experience.
