We're putting out a call for a lead artist + ensemble to develop an interdisciplinary performance at Theatre Y in North Lawndale, Chicago on Friday June 13th. Click here for more info and to submit a proposal.

BlankBox presents work by artists working in contemporary experimental time-based arts, including sound/music, video/projections, dance/movement, theatre/lighting/scenery, puppetry/sculpture, and any other performance-based and installation arts. 

For the next iteration of Blank Box, Homeroom will provide financial, organizational, marketing, documentation, and creative resources to a lead artist and small ensemble of musicians/video artists/movers to develop new work using practices of structured improvisation, performed live in the main stage of Theatre Y in North Lawndale, Chicago, in partnership with Theatre Y's "Performer Sandbox" Series.

The selected lead artist will receive a stipend of $300 for the development and performance of this new work, plus a budget to pay collaborating artists (each a minimum of $100) for a performance at Theatre Y on Friday June 13th.
