We will however consider those applicants whose profile includes some experience in performing arts. It is our aim to use two different local venues during the festival for introducing the workshop participant's live performance acts to an international audience. If you are an electroacoustic musician, or a VJ (among others), you may consider joining the workshops for gaining the experience on how to bring some funky ideas to reality.
