Become a volunteer

We are looking for volunteers for this year’s edition of the festival Revolve Performance Art Days, called Revolve porous bodies.

The festival will be held during two days in May, Friday 24th, 18.00–21.00 at Köttinspektionen and Saturday 25th, 11.15–17.00 at Uppsala Art Museum and in the castle park around Uppsala Castle.

As volunteer at Revolve you will get the opportunity to learn how the Art Museum and the artists work. You will get a chance to engage with the performance art scene and meet artists, other people interested in art and of course the organizers of the festival. You will also get a chance to see some of the acts for free.

Volunteer Job Description

As volunteer, we wish that you first and foremost:

  • Help the artists – by preparing props, arrange the rooms and the scenography before and after the performance act, clean or help in other ways.
  • Help the audience – by acting as a host and answering questions, help them find their way around at the festival, inform about other acts that will be held. 

After your participation you will be offered a short work certificate. Before the festival starts, a meeting will be held for all volunteers, preliminary date and time: Tuesday 21st May, 16.00. You will also be invited to a dinner with the artists Thursday 23rd May.

Application 

Apply by sending an email to kontakta Sara Nylund Wass (coordinator), sara.nylund-wass@uppsala.se. Write your name and a short presentation about yourself. What do you study and why are you interested in working as a volunteer at Revolve?

You choose if you want to work only one or both of the days. Include your wishes in the E-mail together with other specifications surrounding work hours, if you have any.

We wish that all volunteers wear black as far as possible. Comfortable shoes are recommended and dress according to the weather.
