Track 2 – Community Project – Create a New Project as a Lead Artist with a Jerusalem-based Community

Guidelines:

Create a giant puppet or visual performance capable of moving on a cart or truck, animated or manipulated by a team of manipulators.

The project must draw inspiration from a child hero or live figure such as those mentioned in the call for proposals.

Each project must operate in two ways:

  1. A moving sculpture/puppet as part of the Adloyada parade.
  2. A theatrical act during the parade stops, including animation, choreography, and a short story from the world of the hero you’ve chosen (up to five minutes).

Budget: Salary for accompanying the project – 20,000 NIS (including VAT and transportation).* Materials – 7,000 NIS

*The cart/truck, amplification, and electricity have an additional budget and are not part of the development budget. 

Prerequisites:

The applicant must be a professional artist/cultural entity/group of artists with experience in building visual performances/giant puppets.

Preference will be given to applicants with experience in group work (we will pair each artist with a suitable group)

Each project must be accompanied on the day of the Adloyada by a minimum of 10 manipulators/actors/puppeteers.

Runs up to five minutes.

Projects must incorporate elements of mechanical or manual animation.

The project must debut at the Adloyada premiere (existing projects follow a different submission track).
