We have had so many emails and calls asking for an extension of the Big
[BOX] application, that we decided to extend the deadline to July 13.=20

HOWEVER, if you get your application in before Monday (the original
deadline was 6/30), you will get extra points.

Please don't be mad if you worked extra hard and such to get it in on
time, we are just trying to make sure we have the best Big [BOX] we can.
We will definitely take your timeliness into consideration.

Thank you to all who have submitted already!

Request for Proposals for Big [BOX] 08

Deadline July 13, 2007

=20

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.=20

=20

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. =20

=20

Interested artists and groups should go to www.cptonline.org
<http://www.cptonline.org/> and click the big box button or email
rbobgan at cptonline.org <mailto:rbobgan at cptonline.org> for an
application, or simply utilize the below application materials.

=20

How Big [BOX] Works:

=20

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.

=20

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.

=20

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. =20

=20

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. =20

=20

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.

=20

This is a chance for us to get to know an artist's work or new work by
artists we already know. =20

=20

Who gets selected?

=20

In selecting works for this series we look at a number of factors:

=20

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.

=20

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.

=20

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.

=20

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.=20

=20

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
<mailto:Artistic at cptonline.org>  , or at www.cptonline.org
