self-produce their own works. Big [BOX] is about whatever the artist wants to

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>CPT will select six 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
– February, 2009.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Big [BOX] is not about huge production values. It’s
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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Each artist/group will be provided a budget of $600 toward
his or her expenses. ($400 for double bill) The net box office receipts will
be split 50/50 (30/30/40 for double bills) after that $600 has been
recovered. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>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, but we will. We will send out a press release for listings only,
provide flyer templates, use of copy machine, and may be able to help with
distribution. Since the work being done is in development, there will be no
critics invited. However, critics have attended and written about work in the
past, clearly stating that the work is in process. Should an individual artist
feel their work is ready for the scrutiny of a reviewer we will try to
accommodate them. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

summary.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

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

compelling.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
