touring work, collaborations between Cleveland companies and visiting international artists, and free public events—all to take place in downtown Cleveland,

<div>THE SELECTION PROCESS</div>
<div>The BorderLight Fringe is committed to presenting a wide range of theatrical work. We are looking for everything from devised creations to musical adaptations; from experimental opera to new circus; from physical theatre, to original scripts, to interactive
wandering shows, to reimagined classical texts…and everything in between. The inaugural BorderLight Fringe will use a juried selection process—and the application is the first step. </div>
<div></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here’s what we’re looking for:</div>
<div>
<ul style="margin-bottom:0px; margin-top:0px">
<li>Surprise, innovation, and creative risk-taking in the proposed work<br>
</li><li>Artistic quality and style of the proposed work and/or work samples<br>
</li><li>Feasibility of your show’s technical requirements within the Fringe format<br>
</li><li>Enthusiasm and capacity for self-promotion<br>
</li><li>Preference for shows 45-60 minutes in length; no shows longer than 90 minutes<br>
</li><li>An expressed interest in the work of others, being part of the Festival community, and embracing the collaborative spirit of the inaugural BorderLight Festival<br>
</li></ul>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Perhaps you are a new or emerging artist, and don’t have extensive materials to share – we still want to hear from you. The spirit of the Fringe is one of risk-taking and development, and we are looking to program diverse works that represent a wide range
of artistic styles, modes, and points of view. Or perhaps you're a busker, street performer, or pop-up musician who doesn't need a venue space, but is looking for a way to get involved - we'd love to hear from you as well! Contact us at
<b>fringe@borderlightcle.org</b>.<b><u></u></b></div>
