Deadline to apply: March 5, 2021
Greetings, artist! The 2nd biennial BorderLight International Theatre + Fringe Festival returns to downtown Cleveland July 22-24, 2021 as an outdoor, open air event. The
"fringe" is the open submission part of the festival —application is free, there is no risk to submit. The deadline to apply is March 5.
BorderLights seeks to present a diverse program that offers our audiences a wide variety of theatrical approaches, styles, topics, and genres including (but not limited to):
> theatre
> solo performance
> performance art
> circus
> pop-up performances
> stand-up comedy
> cabaret
> busking + street theatre
> physical/dance theatre
> site-specific installation
> multimedia performance
> virtual + online experiences
> and more!
Under the supervision of
public health advisors, we've redesigned the festival to take place across outdoor stages, tents, green space and other locations to allow for social distancing. We’re also seeking interactive virtual and streaming options to enjoy remotely, as well as site-specific
experiences to take place in locations within our downtown footprint.
As one of 100s of fringe festivals worldwide, the BorderLight Fringe serves as a platform for independent artists to self-produce, showcase original work, and engage new patrons as part of a vibrant festival
environment.
