We are delighted to announce the performances that have been selected
for the 11:11:11 UpStage Festival, taking place on and around 11
November 2011. The formal announcement was made today, live in UpStage,
with a wild collaborative audiovisual celebration featuring guest CJs
Miljana Peric and Dan Untitled.
The 11:11:11 festival programme showcases work by seasoned cyberformance
artists, along with performances by artists from other disciplines
working in the online environment for the first time, and by school
students (some of whom are also seasoned cyberformers). Classical texts
from Brecht and Shakespeare get the cyberformance treatment, and themes
range from the moon to capitalism, and just about everything imaginable
in between.

The performances were selected by the 11:11:11 Curatorial Panel (Liz
Bryce, Karla Ptác(ek, Ben Unterman, Becca Wood, Helen Varley Jamieson
and Vicki Smith), who will mentor the artists on the development of the
shows between now and the festival.
Some shows will have public work-in-progress showings and previews
before the festival - starting this Saturday 14th May, with the first
presentation of the Cyberian Chalk Circle (details here:
http://upstage.org.nz/blog/?p=2337); and on Friday 20th May there will
be a presentation at another festival about make-shift, which can be
joined online (details here: http://upstage.org.nz/blog/?p=2343).
We also launched a donations appeal, to raise NZ$5000 towards the costs
of the festival. Donations of any amount are gratefully appreciated, but
we particularly appreciate amounts of $11, $111, $1111 and so on ... go

watch the thermometer rise!
The build-up to 11:11:11 has begun! :)
