Performance art - What you can do

You can use Cinnaminta to help someone else by performing their work in a location which you can get to but which they cannot easily visit. You can submit your own requests for performances anywhere in the world.

In the performance art category you can:

• browse the performance request listings and offer to perform someone's request;
• add your own request for a performance art event at a location which you cannot easily visit;
• search the member profiles to find a suitable performer with a suitable style for your own requests who can reach the right location for your request - this could be anywhere around the world; and
• use the private members message service to discuss and develop the performance style with the reader and, possibly, develop the text to achieve a unique and very personal performance, or
• record your own performance (uses the Request form - select 'I want to read/perform/deliver this request myself').

You can search the requests for performances to see what things other people would like to have performed or you can browse another reading category using the links in the right hand margin of this page.

Cinnaminta provides facilities for a multi-media recording (video, photos or sound) of the reading event to be stored in a private archive, shared, free, with the requester, the reader, their friends and family or, if appropriate, the whole world.

You can also search the public archive of completed readings to:

• see what other people have written and read out aloud as performance art; and
• see how other people have performed readings.

How will you 'Reach out, connect, discover and develop through interactive writing and performance around the world'?
