'You Say Tomato, I Say Tomato'

We are planning an exhibiton about the nature of dialogic disagreement.  Our proposition is that in this context misunderstanding occurs due to failures in communication rather than fundamental differences in opinion. Such malfunctions within conversations result from conflicting learnt definitions of words and differing conceptions of their meaning.

We are looking for works that engage with semantics in spoken language in order to explore and demonstrate the above ideas.

In light of the above please consider the following statement in regards to your own work...
"Every conversation is a game, every player has their own rules."

We are looking for completed works or proposals for new or relevant work by Monday 3rd May. [Video, audio, performance, spoken word, for other mediums please justify]

Please send an artist's CV and your proposals, including links to past works, if available, by email to: nathalie.boobis(at)nxnwfestival.co.uk If you have completed work, please post your artist's CV and DVD Pals, CDs or relevant documentation of performances to: Anna Smith, Flat 3, 5 Mauldeth Road West, Manchester, M20 3WB

Saturday saw a return of the silent disco, but with 3D visuals and a halloween fancy dress theme.

 It was a fundraiser for next year's festival, and thanks to the generous (and slightly mad) party people of Wigan we raised even more than we thought possible.

Thank you!!
