Stark County Story Quilts Project

Request for Proposals for Big [BOX] =
08
Deadline June 30, =
2007
CPT is gearing up for the 07-08 Season. We want to =
continue
to support and celebrate local new works and emerging artists. Big [BOX] =
is one
of the ways we do that. After the success of Big [BOX] 07 we are =
extending the
series so we can include more artists and more projects. =
Big [Box] offers artists or groups the opportunity to
self-produce their own works. Big [BOX] is about whatever the artist =
wants to
focus on. We open the doors and let the artist experiment, =
charting their
own course, making their own decisions, taking their own risks. =
Interested artists and groups should go to www.cptonline.org
and click the big box button or email artistic at cptonline.org for =
an
application, or simply utilize the below application =
materials.
How Big [BOX] =
Works:
CPT will select seven or more artists/groups to be =
part of
Big [BOX]. Each of these artists/groups gets the James Levin Theatre =
(upstairs)
for one week, Monday through Sunday. Performances are Fridays and =
Saturdays at
7:30pm and Sundays at 3pm. This year’s series will be offered =
January 4
– February 17, 2008.
Big [BOX] is not about huge production values. It is =
more
about the performance. The artist shouldn’t get too caught =
up in
elaborate plans because they don’t have much time in the space. =
But
don’t confuse minimalism and resourcefulness with lack of style =
and
quality. We ask that all set pieces be portable in case the show =
needs to
be struck to make the stage available for a late night performance. The =
space
is set up with a rep lighting plot suitable for theatre and dance. =
Each
artist will have a few specials that can be moved around for their =
particular
needs, but the lighting plot must remain intact. Color may be =
changed.
Each artist/group will be provided a budget of $400 =
toward
his or her expenses. The net box office receipts will be split =
50/50
after that $400 has been recovered.
Although we will produce a direct mail piece =
advertising all
of the artists/groups, it is up to the individual artist to promote his =
or her
own show, and we provide you with show-specific flyers to aid in your =
efforts
to reach your audience. We will send out a press release for =
listings
only. Since the work being done is in development, there will be =
no
critics invited. However, critics from the Plain Dealer have =
attended and
written about work in the past, but clearly state that the work is in
process. Should an individual artist feel their work is ready for =
the
scrutiny of a reviewer we will be happy to try to accommodate =
them.
There will be a Big [BOX] Stage Manager, box office =
and
house staff, but it is up to each artist to provide their own artistic
collaborators and any additional technical staff =
needed.
This is a chance for us to get to know an =
artist’s
work or new work by artists we already know. =
Who gets =
selected?
In selecting works for this series we look at a =
number of
factors:
Has the artist/group demonstrated their ability to =
produce
the proposed work? We aren’t looking for top notch producers, but =
we do
want to feel confident that the artist/group has a clear understanding =
of what
it takes to pull off a show, and that they understand how to assess =
their own
capacity.
All artistic enterprises require risk and there are =
no
guarantees. However, it’s important to demonstrate a level of =
artistic
excellence and an understanding of artistry. This might be demonstrated =
in a
work sample, resume of artist, script of past or current work, or in a =
project
summary.
Is the work adventurous and new? CPT has a history of
producing work that no one else in town will produce because it is =
somehow
“outside the box.” The work doesn’t need to be =
experimental
or weird (though that is fine too), but it does need to be relevant and
compelling.
How will Big [BOX] impact this artist professionally =
and
artistically? CPT wants to have a real impact on the community and =
provide
resources to artists who will most benefit. =
If you would like to be considered for the 2007-08 =
Big [BOX]
Series, please fill out the below application form, or you can request =
an word
document form from Artistic at cptonline.org , or =
at
www.cptonline.org
Deadline for submissions is June 30, 2006. =
Deadline: =
June 30,
2007

you for
your interest in Big =

Attach up to
two sheets for the following:

involved,
what is the basis for the piece, how do you currently envision =
it?)
2) What are your production needs? (stage, =
lighting,
special effects, etc)
3) How will participation in Big[BOX] =
impact you
as an artist and the growth of the proposed =
piece?
4) What is your background and experience =
that
gives you confidence that you can complete this project? What skills do =
you have
to be able to produce the work?
5) Sometimes CPT pairs up artists or groups =
with
shorter works to maximize box office and space. Would you be willing to
participate if you were on a double bill?
Supplementary Materials: Include any additional information to =
support your
application including resume, bio, script, treatment, artistic =
