BorderLight Fringe Festival 2023 announces a Call for Artists<https://www.borderlightcle.org/apply/> open until Feb. 28! Be You. Be Weird. Be Fringe. BorderLight Festival returns in 2023 with our first all-Fringe festival! We invite you to join the Fringe community we're building by applying to the BorderLight Fringe Festival. This continental festival will take place over three days in late July or early August (dates tbc soon!). In previous years, BorderLight was a biennial festival, bringing national and international artists to Cleveland. In summer of 2023, instead of going dark in the 'off' year, we are creating an all-fringe festival focused on domestic artists. (International work will return in 2024!) You bring your work, while BorderLight provides a venue, box office, marketing support, and fun events like an Opening Night Party and a Fringe Awards Ceremony. 70% of box office revenue is returned to artists. Plus, see all the Fringe you want! Shows are free on a standby basis for participating Fringe artists. The BorderLight Fringe Festival will take place in the Playhouse Square neighborhood of downtown Cleveland and feature at least half local artists. We welcome your proposals to produce plays, puppetry, circus, comedy, immersive experiences, cabaret, burlesque, dance theatre, etc. Although we are a theatre festival, we want to continue to expand the artform, so please also consider the Fringe if you are a choreographer, installation artist, site-specific visionary, movement practitioner, virtual reality creator, musician, or any creative who wants to explore performance and storytelling! You can also propose to offer a masterclass or present work in development. For information and to apply, visit: https://www.borderlightcle.org/apply/ Spread the word - tell a friend about the Fringe!
