Another open call for the Body and Soul Festival in Ballinlough Castle at the end of June:

Creative festival proposals wanted for Body & Soul Festival
The art and creativity flourishing within Body & Soul grows from strength to strength each year.
We invite you to create in a way that encourages people to look, listen, explore and interact.

It is once more time to pour our dreams and aspirations into exciting projects, to both inspire and be inspired. Be they big or small, simple or complex, cosmic or comical, organic or electronic – we look forward to your proposals with bated breath, as do the people who spend their weekend in awe of your work!

Past proposals have included giant kaleidoscopes, hanging moss pods, architectural light displays, a bandwagon of face painting charlatans, dragon birds, creative willow fencing, a giant elk complete with his own knitted jumper, suspended performers entrancing passersby’s below, video and sound installations, a singing angel in the garden, a 100 metre long serpent made from CD’s suspended in the tree tops, giant lanterns and more.

So, whatever your idea; whether it be hanging, planted or floating art pieces, suspended or stationary performances of conversation or song, string instrument or drums, we would like to hear from you.
Please apply on line using the application process in the Get Involved section of our website.
