Calling all Outdoor Performers!
The fourth Annual Edge of the Woods Theatre Festival is now accepting proposals.
The Edge of the Woods Theatre Festival is an annual travelling arts event celebrating theatre, food and public space in the Muskoka/Parry Sound Region of Ontario. This year, the festival will make presentations in different spaces on July 8 , 9, 14, 15 & 16, 2011. Each nightly event begins with delicious affordable food served on site and free arts activities for youth. Following this, audiences are treated to an evening of pay-what-you-can outdoor theatre based performances by local, national and international artists.
The festival is an ideal venue for artist-run companies or independent artists creating original, ambitious outdoor theatre. We are interested in supporting new pieces created for the festival itself, as well as those that are adapted and re-worked for this context. In past years we have presented work which draws from various forms including physical theatre, circus, break dance, puppetry, choral singing, live music, clown, street theatre, tap dance and storytelling.
Artists will be paid an honorarium for their work.
Deadline: April 15, 2011
