by Cathleen O'Malley 28 Dec '18

28 Dec '18

Calling Theatre Artists! Looking to self-produce your show and seeking a venue? Want to reach new audiences as part of a downtown Cleveland festival experience? Apply to participate in the BorderLight Fringe...Cleveland’s own (and Cleveland-grown) "fringe festival," to take place July 25-28, 2019. Deadline to apply: December 29, 2018 INFO & APPLICATION HERE: www.borderlightcle.org/about-the-fringe/<http://www.borderlightcle.org/about-the-fringe/> Selected companies will self-produce their shows in non-traditional storefront venues on the “fringe” of the BorderLight Festival of International Theatre, energizing and activating the festival with fresh and emerging voices. HOW IT WORKS Selected participants will pay a production fee*, in exchange for a 70/30 box office split of all ticket sales (artists take home 70% of revenue). BorderLight provides venue, insurance, very basic lighting and sound equipment, some technical support, marketing guidance, and front of house. BorderLight will promote the overall festival and fringe - but we rely on individual companies to hype their shows. *Limited fee assistance is available for artists with demonstrated financial need. See application for details. 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 fringe(a)borderlightcle.org. THE SELECTION PROCESS BorderLight Fringe is 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. Here’s what we’re looking for: * Surprise, innovation, and creative risk-taking in the proposed work * Artistic quality and style of the proposed work and/or work samples * Simplicity and feasibility of your show’s technical requirements within the Fringe format -- these are non-traditional venues! * Enthusiasm and capacity for self-promotion * Preference for shows 45-60 minutes in length; no shows longer than 90 minutes * An expressed interest in the work of others, being part of the Festival community, and embracing the collaborative spirit of the inaugural BorderLight Festival For more information on Production Fees*, Box Office Compensation, Production, and Scheduling, see "Information for Artists" at www.borderlightcle.org/information-for-artists<http://www.borderlightcle.org/information-for-artists> Any questions? Don't hesitate to contact Cathleen at fringe(a)borderlightcle.org and we will get you answers. Consider applying!
