Description
Next Wave this year presents its 12th biennial festival, the 2010 Next Wave Festival.
Since 1985 Next Wave has been dedicated to developing and presenting innovative work by Australia's most interesting young artists. From the 13th to the 30th of May this year Next Wave will showcase almost 60 new art projects in and around central Melbourne, at some of this city's premium venues.
The 2010 Next Wave Festival will feature new work across all art form areas including visual arts, performance, dance, new media, literature, hybrid projects and beyond, pushing the boundaries of traditional media and encouraging connections between diverse art forms and disciplines.
Next Wave artists, all under 30 years of age, are encouraged to undertake ambitious new projects, to experiment and engage with new ideas, and develop new skills and networks. Next Wave is also dedicated to exploring different contexts for contemporary arts practice, activating unconventional spaces for exchange between artists and audiences.
