The Ukrainian artist, photographer, and filmmaker Mila Teshaieva, who has documented the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine through photography since the beginning, says: “I will be happy to read proposals written in a simple and honest way. While reading your text I want to feel your motivations, I need to understand why it is important for you personally to carry out this project.” And Japanese performer, director, and choreographer Yuya Tsukahara, who is a co-founder of the improvisational performance collective contact Gonzo, highlights the importance of never-before-seen projects, of surprise and impact on the audience. “I would like to meet people who want to create a new value set in the performing art scene, something that hasn’t yet been understood as art.”
