This year SPILL becomes an annual festival, alternating between Ipswich in November 2012, and London in April 2013. This is your chance to be part of it.
 
Developed by Pacitti Company in collaboration with the Live Art Development Agency, and generously supported by the Jerwood Charitable Foundation, the SPILL National Platform is the UK’s open submissions platform for emerging experimental makers. This November SPILL will present its largest ever National Platform, showcasing the work of 50 selected artists and companies at a range of exciting spaces across Ipswich in Suffolk.

The National Platform is for artists who are at the beginning of their professional practice, including recent graduates, and who have only had a few opportunities to show their work publicly.
 
The National Platform is aimed at artists and companies based in the UK and Ireland who are interested in the ‘experience’ or the ‘event’ of art and who work with ideas of ‘liveness’. The Platform is open to artists and companies who are centralising or exploring the ‘liveness’ of the artist and/or the ‘liveness’ of the audience through performance, sound, film, video, installation, new media or digital practices.

Across three days and at multiple locations in Ipswich, emerging artists and companies will have a fantastic opportunity to showcase their work to an audience made up of national and international promoters and artists, and members of the public.
