Curated by Stoke Newington International Airport and Third Party, DISTANCE is a weekend of performance over distance.  Open to artists practicing in every part of the world.  

Distance has always been a part of our lives. Now, more than ever, we are expected to negotiate the complexities of near and far. From conquistador to ryanair to skype to pilgrimage to chatroom to your neighbour's front door, a multitude of choices now affect how we experience and engage with people and places across the world and across the street. As technology offers instant presence and lifestyle choices increase in complexity, what are our relationships to distance? How do we live with absence, intimacy and speed? When do we desire to close the gap and when do we need to create it? 

We are inviting artists locally, regionally and internationally to explore ideas relating to distance. We are particularly interested in performance, interactive and time-based proposals that will engage with live audiences. Artists who would like to submit a proposal should download an application form www.fromadistance.co.uk
