Artists to be well paid to promote the climate scam
The TippingPoint Commissions are a new initiative for professional artists who wish to create new performance work in the context of climate change.

The theme of climate change is intended to provide a stimulus and a springboard for the commissions. Artists are invited to submit projects that stimulate audiences towards the radical and imaginative thinking necessary to comprehend a world dominated by climate change. We are not looking for a didactic exposition of the subject. Rather, we are seeking proposals that offer creative reflections on a world that is rapidly changing and on humanity’s role and responsibilities within it.

We will be able to sponsor around 4 commissions. The maximum award will be for £30k although we anticipate that most awards will be for less. Applicants may wish to commission a composer, a writer, a choreographer or work with a range of collaborators as part of a devising process. We recognize that you are likely to undertake additional fundraising from other sources to take the initial commission to production.
