Social Experiment is a new gathering at Contact for anyone interested in Live Art and contemporary performance to meet, chat, and try ideas out…
A free and informal, semi-regular evening event with the next on Thursday 17 July from 6pm to 9pm. Subsequent dates are 27 November; the first event was held on Thursday 6 February.
If you’re a Greater Manchester artist — 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 & meet some artists in our social experiment.
