passionate about performance
You are a dancer, composer, choreographer, musician, performance artist
We are intrigued by the possibilities of performance on television and film
M B & D is our chance to explore the potential of performance and film together
M B & D…aims to support the research and development of up to twenty short, innovative performance film ideas throughout the next six months.
Ten of those ideas will be selected from the performance community of Wales and supported with an award of £1000 each, with a further ten ideas being developed inside BBC Wales.
M B & D will offer an opportunity to performers and BBC employees to develop their ideas alongside choreographers and cinematographers, editors, designers and composers who have created great performance film.
BBC Wales will commission a series of performance shorts from the best of these ideas.
You are invited to submit a
MAD, BAD AND DANGEROUS… proposal
We would like your proposal to contain two elements:
1
AN IDEA FOR A SHORT FILM
An idea for a short performance film that you would passionately love to develop.
Your idea should:
· Have a strong performance element
· Tell a story without words
· Be innovative and original
· Appeal to a broad audience
Your idea should be for a short form film of 30 seconds to 5 minutes, but a pair of 1minute films or a three part t.v. series of micro-shorts would be equally acceptable.

A PROPOSAL FOR RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
What and who would you like to help you develop your idea? What skills do you need to learn? Are there locations you’d like to recce, dancers you’d like to work with, references you’d like to track down?
Describe the research that you would undertake to develop your idea. Outline the resources, technology and people that you would like access to in developing your idea.
