Perform your piece as part of the 10th anniversary
Jane's Walk festival in Calgary
Who:
Professional
theatre companies and emerging groups, and non-professional community-based
groups with a track record of creating and producing performances.
What:
Create a
10-minute theatre piece as part of the Jane's Walk festival in Calgary. The
pieces will celebrate a Calgary neighbourhood and fit into the spirit of the
Jane's Walk festival.
How:
· Submit an application by March 31st
· Attend an event at Theatre Junction Grand on April 4, 2017: At an
evening community where completed applications will be drawn by lottery
and assigned a Calgary neighbourhood.
o At least one representative of the group must be in attendance at the
event to accept the offer or another group will drawn instead.
· The five selected groups have one month to create their 10-Minute
Play for Jane's Walk
When:
· On Saturday, May 6: Each group will perform their piece at Theatre
Junction GRAND (space TBD on April 4).
· On Sunday, May 7: Each group will perform their piece in their
assigned neighbourhood that inspired their piece.
· Schedule: TBD
What else:
· Each of the five selected groups will be given a $400 honorarium.
· Project partners can provide limited guidance on the neighbourhoods –
including where to perform the piece on Sunday, May 7 – but this is
mostly the responsibility of the groups themselves.
· 10-Minute Plays for Jane's Walk can focus on any aspect of a
neighbourhood and on almost any topic. Plays can be serious or funny,
informative or exploratory, based on history or what's happening right now; or
any combination.
· 10-minute Plays for Jane's Walk will be promoted as part of the
2017 Jane's Walk festival weekend – but each selected group should also do
their own promotion.
