Come and join us at open|forms, a community for experimental artists working at the intersection of electronics and performance. It’s an open event where everyone is welcome, but our programming is curated by our community – which you can join once you have performed.
We have three principles:

– There is an electronic element to the work – this can be synthesisers, samplers, pedals, or something we haven’t thought of!

– It is experimental in whatever genre, pushing an envelope and trying something new. It could be from guitar drones, to spoken word, from modular ambient, to processed voice. As long as it fits in a small intimate environment you are welcome to submit

– It is inclusive. We wanted to create a community that is open politically, culturally and gender wise. A safe space for anyone to come and contribute something meaningful

It is a place for musicians, spoken word and visual artists, anyone with a boundary pushing idea to come and share, learn and be inspired. We are deliberately starting small, to keep it cosy and supportive, personal and friendly.
