Moon Radio is an experimental broadcast channel, transmitting live art,
Performance, sound and on demand artists film and video.  

Since it began, Moon Radio has worked with artists to develop live
performances specifically for the web as well as offering a professional
streaming service, webcasting conferences, discussions and festivals. Moon
Radio broadcasts from bedrooms, cinemas and working men's clubs and is the
host to toilet philosophers, amateur rock stars and would be rocket
engineers, as well as a host of others.

Moon Radio takes off on the weekend of October 27th and 28th, and will
continue to broadcast bi-monthly from then on.  
Moon Radio has been supported by East Midlands Arts, the Arts Council of
England and East Midlands Media Initiative

The theme:
Jumping the Shark (the fall and rise of TV sitcom) 
the launch of Moon Radio's themed weekend broadcast events.

Jumping the Shark is a phrase used by T.V producers to refer to the moment
sitcoms turns bad. It comes from when the Fonz jumped over a shark in a pair
of water skis in Happy Days, marking the beginning of a downward spiral from
which it would never recover. It's the point when Monica and Chandler kiss,
the day Del Boy and Rodney win the lottery.

Moon Radio's launch weekend will be a programme of live broadcast utilizing
video streaming technology and web based events, to create a whole weekend
of online shows
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Commissions:
We are offering 4 commissions for live pieces as part of the Moon Radio
weekend.
Where Everybody Knows Your Name
The first commission is for ?800, and is for a new piece of work which uses
web technology to look at meeting places in sitcoms. 
Odd Couples and Dirty Old Men
The second commission is for ?500, and is for a live performance which
explores the world of the sitcom couple. 

Artists will have access to a small studio with 2 camera set up. While
artists are welcome to use pre-recorded video and multimedia as part of the
piece, it is expected the piece will include a substantial performed
element. 
Moon Radio is filmed before a live studio audience.

Two smaller commissions of two hundred pounds each are also available to
create an audio broadcast, and a live audio/video mixing piece, which will
be performed in Broadway Bar as part of the Moon Radio weekend and
simultaneously streamed live over the internet.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Brief for general submissions:
We are seeking work that is made for / or explores Internet broadcast and
artists looking for new ways to distribute their work.  We are funded for
three commissions only and therefore are also looking for work that is
already made or funded and that is looking for additional channels of
distribution.

Any live work can either be produced in collaboration with Moon Radio, or
Moon Radio will provide support for the artists to broadcast remotely
through the Moon Radio server space. 

If you would like to add to this programme and find a new way to show your
work please go to www.moonradio.co.uk <http://www.moonradio.co.uk> and fill
