Call for submissions: The 32nd Rhubarb Festival / Deadline: 17/08

THE 32nd RHUBARB FESTIVAL
Toronto’s Annual Convergence of Contemporary Performance
Feb 16-27, 2011, Festival Director Laura Nanni
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS 2011

Produced by Buddies in Bad Times Theatre for over 30 years, the Rhubarb Festival has offered artists a critic-free environment to experiment with new explorations in performance. Rhubarb continuously reconsiders the possibilities for performance – how we create it, how we present it and how we experience it. It is an invitation for artists to take risks, investigate new directions and challenge conventions. It is an opportunity for adventurous audiences to journey off predictable paths. Rhubarb provides artists with a rare opportunity to present work to a large and enthusiastic audience. Many Rhubarb shows have gone on to be further developed and presented in Toronto, across Canada and internationally.

GENERAL CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS DEADLINE
: 5PM, Tuesday August 17, 2010

Rhubarb seeks proposals for new, not previously produced performances (30 minutes or less) for the 32nd Annual Rhubarb Festival. Submissions are encouraged from both established and emerging artists working in the areas of contemporary theatre, performance art, dance, music, interdisciplinary and hybrid forms. Of particular interest are projects, approaches and ideas that are new territory for the artist and the medium.

Selected projects will be featured during the festival (Feb. 16-27, 2011) and will receive technical, production, administrative, promotional and artistic support. Invited companies will have the opportunity to access free rehearsal space leading up to Rhubarb. In addition to an honorarium, festival artists also receive an unlimited artist pass, allowing them to see work for free by local, national and international artists over the course of two weeks.

NEW TO RHUBARB THIS YEAR! TWO SPECIAL PROJECT CALLS:

SET IT OFF
DEADLINE: 5PM, Monday August 30, 2010
Building on the culture of club nights at Buddies, Rhubarb invites DJs and musicians who venture into new and experimental territory of music performance (especially those working in live mixing and sampling) to submit proposals. This may include DJs/ electronic artists collaborating with animators, new media artists, choreographers, etc. to create a short set. Other possibilities include musicians working with non-traditional equipment and instruments (i.e. kitchen appliances, video game consoles, found objects, bicycle powered amps, etc.). Of special interest are proposals that not only suggest experimentation with the instruments themselves, but also consider aspects of the music in relation to staging, conceptual meaning, story and/ or form.

MOBILE WORKS
DEADLINE: 5PM, Monday August 30, 2010
Taking the Rhubarb experience outside the walls of Buddies, the festival invites proposals for works that begin elsewhere and converge at Buddies (12 Alexander Street, Toronto). Performance interventions, performances on the subway, flash mobs, etc. that eventually end at Buddies are encouraged. Participatory projects and online performances that are developed in the lead up to Rhubarb and culminate in another form of presentation at Buddies are also welcome. The proposal should take into consideration not only the festival audiences but also the general public, unsuspecting and accidental audiences who may stumble upon or intersect with the work.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:
Only submissions delivered by or post-marked by the deadline dates will be accepted. Works submitted must be new and original. Submissions must be submitted in hard copy only and must be accompanied by the 2011 Rhubarb Festival Application Form (available online at www.buddiesinbadtimes.com)

and the $20 non-refundable reading fee (payable to: Buddies in Bad Times Theatre). Fax or email submissions will not be accepted and late submissions will not be considered.

PLEASE MAIL OR DROP OFF SUBMISSIONS TO:
Laura Nanni, Rhubarb Festival Director
Buddies in Bad Times Theatre 12 Alexander Street, Toronto ON M4Y 1B4

Call for proposals Belluard Festival 2011: HOPE

für Deutsch siehe unten / for English scroll down.
————————————————

Le Festival Belluard Bollwerk International et le Pour-cent culturel Migros recherchent des projets artistiques qui traitent de l’espoir.

Dans cette deuxième décennie du 21e siècle, la question de l’espoir semble occuper une place centrale sur la scène politique et culturelle. Bien qu’elle soit la plupart du temps une stratégie rhétorique pour rassembler les masses sur des questions écologiques, de globalisation ou encore de terreur politique, une approche contemporaine de l’espoir peut s’avérer utile dans la construction d’une perspective différente sur nos attitudes sociales et artistiques.

Aujourd’hui, l’espoir n’est plus la projection d’une sorte d’utopie éloignée ou d’un avenir lointain. Nous ne croyons plus aux grandes idéologies, depuis qu’il nous semble avoir été littéralement absorbés par les rêveries globalisantes du capitalisme. Plutôt que de rêver à une révolution sanglante, l’espoir se place aujourd’hui dans un présent éternel: dans chaque situation, chaque relation, chaque choix éthique.

En d’autres mots : l’espoir est une conception nouvelle de l’espace et des relations, c’est permettre au changement d’arriver, même petit, dans n’importe quelle direction. Un geste d’espoir est celui qui modifie la situation: entre toi et moi, entre moi et mon environnement, et en même temps nous change tous les deux.

Le Festival Belluard Bollwerk International et le Pour-cent culturel Migros recherchent des projets qui pourraient mettre l’espoir en mouvement, en forme d’installations expérimentales, en travail performatif, en pratiques stimulantes ou en invitations attrayantes pour la ville et ses habitants.

Espoir comme invention; comme mouvement; comme changement; comme chorégraphie; comme rêve de jour; comme potentiel; comme révolution; comme hospitalité; comme action; …

L’appel est ouvert aux artistes ainsi qu’aux spécialistes d’autres domaines, aux habitants de la ville de Fribourg et d’ailleurs, aux individus et aux groupes.

Les projets sélectionnés seront réalisés dans le cadre du Belluard Festival 2011.

Les dossiers sont envoyés au plus tard le 18 octobre 2010.

Info et règlement sur www.belluard.ch

————————————————

Das Festival Belluard Bollwerk International und das Migros-Kulturprozent suchen künstlerische Projekte, die sich mit Hoffnung auseinandersetzen.

Zu Beginn dieses zweiten Jahrzehnts des 21. Jahrhundert steht sie immer wieder im Rampenlicht und auf Podesten politischer und kultureller Bühnen: die Hoffnung. Sie dient oft der Rhetorik, um die Massen für Umweltschutz- und Globalisierungsfragen zu mobilisieren oder einen Konsens in Sicherheitsfragen herbeizuführen. Doch ein zeitgenössisches Verständnis des Konzepts Hoffnung könnte sich zu einer nützlichen Strategie entwickeln, eine andere Perspektive gegenüber unseren gesellschaftlichen und künstlerischen Haltungen zu gewinnen.

Heutzutage ist Hoffnung nicht mehr das Glück einer fernen Zukunft oder die Utopie vom Paradies. Seitdem wir mit Haut und Haar von den allumfassenden Träumereien des Kapitalismus eingenommen wurden, glauben wir nicht mehr an die grossen Ideologien. Wir hoffen nicht mehr auf einen Umsturz mit blutiger Revolution. Hoffnung ist eher ein ständiger Begleiter im Alltag für das ewige Hier und Jetzt geworden: in jeder Situation, jeder Beziehung und jeder ethischen Konstellation.

Mit anderen Worten: Hoffnung bedeutet, Räume und Beziehungen zu überdenken, das Wagnis einzugehen, Veränderungen zu erlauben, egal wie klein und in welcher Form sie sich auch präsentieren. Eine hoffnungsvolle Geste verändert eine Situation: zwischen dir und mir, zwischen dir und deinem Umfeld und im selben Moment verändert sie uns beide.

Das Festival Belluard Bollwerk International und das Migros-Kulturprozent suchen Projekte, welche Hoffnung in Bewegung bringen, sei es in Form einer experimentellen Aktion, einer Installation oder Intervention, in Form einer Performance, eines Spiels, einer Einladung ans Publikum oder einer anderen herausfordernden Vorgehensweise.

Hoffnung als Erfindung, Intervention, als eine Bewegung, ein Wechsel, als Choreographie, als Tagträumerei, als Potential, als Revolution, als Gastfreundschaft, als Verhandlung,…

Die Ausschreibung richtet sich an Künstler und Praktiker aus anderen Bereichen, an Menschen aus Freiburg und dem Rest der Welt, an Einzelpersonen und Gruppen.

Die ausgewählten Projekte werden als Teil des Belluard Festivals 2011 realisiert

Einsendeschluss ist Montag, 18. Oktober 2010.

Info und Reglement: www.belluard.ch

————————————————

The Festival Belluard Bollwerk International and the Migros Culture Percentage are looking for artistic projects that are dealing with hope.

At the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century hope seems to occupy centre stage on the political and cultural scene. Though a lot of the time no more than a rhetoric strategy to get people in line on issues like ecological doom, global confusion or political terror, a contemporary understanding of hope might prove to be a useful strategy in constructing a different perspective on our social and artistic attitudes.

Hope in this age is no longer projected upon a distant utopia, a far-away future. We no longer believe in the big ideologies, since we seem to have been sucked up head-over-heels by the all-encompassing musings of capitalism. Instead of dreaming about a bloody revolution, hope situates itself today in the eternal now: in every situation, relation, ethical set-up you commit to.

In other words: hope is about rethinking space and relations, about daring to allow change to happen, however small, in whatever kind of way. A hopeful gesture is one that alters the situation: between me and you, between me and my environment, and in that moment changes both of us.

The Festival Belluard Bollwerk International and the Migros Culture Percentage are looking for projects that could set hope in motion, in the form of experimental set-ups, performance work, challenging practices or wildcard invitations to the city and its inhabitants.

Hope as invention; as movement; as change; as choreography; as daydream; as potential; as revolution; as hospitality; as action; …

The call is open to artists and practitioners from other fields, to Fribourg residents and people from other places, to individuals or groups.

Selected proposals will be realised as a part of the Belluard Festival 2011.

Info and rules on www.belluard.ch

Projects must be sent by October 18th 2010.
