Knockengorroch Festival 2027 – Offene Ausschreibung für ortsspezifische Performances

Knockengorroch Festival 2027 is offering a unique opportunity for artists to create site‑responsive live performances in the landscape of the Glen and the Water of Deugh in Carsphairn, Scotland. The call is open to artists at any career stage, working solo or in groups, and seeks work that engages with the land and local community. Selected artists will receive a residency of up to five days, which includes the festival weekend, stage‑management support, on‑site camping accommodation, mentoring from Alex Rigg of Oceanallover, crew meals, access to an audience of over three thousand people, limited travel assistance, marketing and publicity through the festival, on‑site information for audiences, and photographic documentation of the performance. There is no entry fee, and while the opportunity is not a commission, small bursaries may be provided to help with travel costs. Applications consist of a short pitch sent by email, outlining the artist’s background, proposed work, team composition and logistical details. The deadline for submissions is 5 pm on 11 January 2027, and the performances will take place during the festival dates of 27 – 30 May 2027.

Residency up to five days, stage‑management support, on‑site camping accommodation, mentoring by Alex Rigg, crew meals, audience access (≈3000), limited travel assistance, marketing and publicity, on‑site information, photographic documentation.
