SLAPover | York Mediale

SLAPover was a week-long creative residency for 4 artists to collaborate and create a new live performance for York Mediale 2018.
By developing and testing ideas together, the artists explored how technology and performance can be combined to create new experiences for audiences.
‘What does the future look like?’ was the artists main brief and line of enquiry throughout the week.
The aim of SLAPover was to create a safe space for artists and performers to experiment and share skills in a collaborative atmosphere. The SLAPover residency ran from the 13 - 17 of August 2018 with a public sharing of the work created for Friday 5 October, to form part of York Mediale 2018 festival programme.
SLAP was dreamt up, formed and spawned by a group of artists who wanted to bring exceptional performances to the city of York. SLAP generate opportunities for like-minded artists who probe and produce raw grass-roots performance work.
We like the risky and small-scale, we like big ideas and artists who are producing works on the fringes of traditional performance. We tend to put unusual work into usual spaces for unsuspecting audiences.
SLAP is supported using public funding from the National Lottery through Arts Council England. With further support from York St John University, York Theatre Royal, York Dance Space and Festival of Ideas.
