Residency: Playable City Tokyo Residency 2018 (Deadline: May 16 2018)

Watershed and the British Council seek two UK-based creative professionals to participate in a two-stage Playable City Tokyo Residency in June and September 2018. Building on the work of an ongoing Playable City Tokyo programme, the residency is an opportunity to collaboratively research and develop playful ideas at the intersection of art, technology, society that innovate around public space in Tokyo. We are offering two places for creative people from any discipline who believe we can start a new kind of city conversation through play.

Who

We are looking for two creatives with an open, rigorous and experimental approach, willing to produce work that is exposed, tested and investigated as it is developed. Creatives will be encouraged to focus on exploration and proof of concept, rather than completion of a finished product.

Participants may be artists, designers, architects, urbanists, magicians, interaction designers, technologists or other kinds of professional creative practitioners who can demonstrate a history of delivering high quality, innovative professional practice in public.

We welcome applications from BAME, LGBTQI, Deaf and disabled practitioners as they are currently underrepresented in public space work.

Successful Applicants will be awarded:
