Social Experiment: Student Edition - call for proposals


A new gathering for students interested in Live Art and contemporary performance to meet, chat, and try ideas out.

If you’re a North West student and artist (18+)— this is your chance to test out a short performance, intervention, or durational work in front of an informal audience.

If you’re an audience member looking for something a little bit different — this is your chance to take a few risks and meet some artists in our social experiment.

Social Experiment: Student Edition will be a free and informal evening event at Manchester's Contact on Thu 5 June 2025.

The deadline for proposals has been extended to 2359 on Sun 18 May.
