Essex County Council, in partnership with Chelmsford Borough Council Cultural Events Team and Walk the Plank, an internationally renowned outdoor performance company, are devising an ambitious large-scale outdoor performance for 2012.

In the build up to this project, a training programme comprising several Artist Training Schools is being developed. The first will be a five-day residency hosted by Walk the Plank in Essex from 27 – 31 October 2010 (inclusive) focussing on outdoor arts that relate to night time events, including fire technology, illumination and animation, pyrotechnic effects etc.

We are seeking expressions of interest from artists and creative producers who have a desire to develop and extend their practice in outdoor arts. The Artist Training School is aimed at emerging artists who are interested in developing outdoor work, or practitioners who want to expand their skills and thinking around site-specific and larger scale work. See attached brief.
