Call-out: Artists for hillsceneLIVE 2026 — …AT A STRETCH

hillsceneLIVE wants the bold, the bent, the beautifully unhinged. For hsL 2026, we’re diving into the tension point — the snap, the wobble, the risky stretch where new performance visions take shape. If your work sweats, glitches, hums, unravels or rebuilds itself in real time… we want to see it.

What you’ll get:

  • Four development sessions to push, twist, test and re-shape your idea

  • Creative guidance from the hsL team

  • A supported live presentation at the festival

  • Production manager, tech and documentation

  • Marketing, promo assets + a $250 artist stipend

  • A spot in hillsceneLIVE on Saturday 29 August 2026

What you’ll do:

  • Show up for development

  • Bring your work to life at the festival

  • Share promo content and help stir the buzz

Key Dates:

  • EOIs open: 1 Dec 2025

  • EOIs close: 8 Feb 2026

Who can apply?
Emerging, mid-career, cross-disciplinary, hyper-local, intergalactic… all welcome. No finished work needed — just a spark with the courage to grow.
