Rather than submit separate applications for all three series, as in years past, artists are welcome to apply for one, two or all of CPT’s development series described below in one submission. Our goal in combining the proposal process is to encourage artists to evaluate the current state of their project and select the series, or multiple series, that will best support the growth of their project throughout CPT’s 13/14 Season. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#121212;background:white'>Application Deadline is Wednesday, May 1, 2013</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#121212'><br></span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><a href="http://www.cptonline.org/13NWD_RFP.pdf"><span style='background:white'>Click here for the New Work Development Series Application.</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Springboard</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> is a staged reading series that seeks to form and deepen relationships between playwrights and directors. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Leap/Conceive</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> looks to reach beyond the text and conventional theatre making to experiment with a short segment of a larger piece nearing readiness for production.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Big Box</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> offers artists and small theatre companies the opportunity to self-produce original works of theatre, dance, performance art, music, or genre defying performances.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Artists must read the full description/detail of the programs found on our website before applying.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Prospective Series Dates<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Springboard: October 2013<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Leap/Conceive: Late October through mid-November 2013<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Big Box: February and March 2014<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Selection Criteria<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>In selecting projects for our New Work Development Series we will look at a number of factors.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><ul style='margin-top:0in' type=disc><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Adventurous, New Work<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Artistic Growth<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Leadership Skills<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Artistry<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Adventurous, New Work<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Is the work adventurous and new?
