This sounded kinda funky....found it at Puppeteers of America:
PuppetLOVE! 2004 is seeking submissions of puppetry for performances, workshops, a gallery exhibition and video event. We will select high quality contemporary work that has a political or social message and/or that redefines, expands, exposes or fuses the boundaries of puppetry as an art form. The work can be in-your-face, explicit, challenging, absurd, fantastical, silly or sophisticated. All styles and sizes of puppets welcome. Artists receive an honorarium and admission to all festival events. We will find housing in people's homes for artists traveling from other places.
We are a small festival and are committed to giving everyone a small piece of the pie, but in general cannot guarantee much as far as fees go......last year honoraria/travel $ ranged from $25 to 250 depending on a multitude of variables. Please note that in most cases we will not be able to cover airfare or other travel expenses beyond the honoraria already stated.
Application Deadline: MONDAY, JANUARY 19. 2004 Proposals must be in our hands by this day!
Notification: SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 1ST Clarification: We will accept some late submissions especially for gallery and video event, but cannot guarantee that these artists will be included in the written materials for the festival.
Please mail all submissions to: K.Ruby/PuppetLOVE! 2633 Etna St Berkeley CA 94704 Questions can be directed to this email or (510) 843 6683
PERFORMANCES: We seek performances 5-25 minutes in length for two evenings that will show a range of themes and styles. We do not accept full-length work. Video, even of a rehearsal, will greatly enhance your proposal. Please include ° name of company ° contact name & information including phone, email and street address ° name and description of piece ° technical needs including lights/sound and amount space/size of stage ° running time ° sample reel (video) with SASE ° 2-3 sentence blurb about the group and/or piece for inclusion in promotional materials and programme ° specify if work is appropriate for adults only, or for children & adults. GALLERY: We will accept a limited number of works needing to be shipped to us and will pay return shipping cost. Please include ° name and contact information including phone #, email and street address ° photos or slides with an SASE ° name, creation date and materials of pieces submitted ° 2-3 sentence blurb about yourself and/or the work for the programme/promotional materials ° specify if the work portrayed is the same work you want to show.
WORKSHOPS: We will offer workshops from 12-4 pm both days of the festival. Workshops may be from 1 -4 hours. Include ° name and contact information including phone #, email and street address ° name, description & length of workshop * Supplies needed ° your qualifications as a presenter ° 2-3 sentence blurb about yourself and/or your work for the programme/ promotional materials
VIDEO: We are only accepting video SHORTS. We will not show anything over 10 minutes. Work can be video of actual puppet shows, puppet video, animation that in someway uses puppetry and so forth. Include ° name and contact information including phone #, email and street address ° name, description, format and running time of piece to be screened ° sample reel or video of piece you wish to have screened with SASE ° 2-3 sentence blurb about yourself and/or the work for the programme/promotional materials
Some people have questioned our use of "radical" to describe our festival. Indeed radical is an over-used and somewhat ambiguous word. People's associations with the word give them to expect that all the work presented will be political or shocking or....? Our definition has always been more boraod than that. However, as an explorative measure, we are asking for other subtitles to replace "Festival of Radical Puppetry." The sense of it must be that this is puppetry that is different, explorative, adult, sophisticated, contemporary etc.etc. Let us know of your ideas if you have them.
We are seeking 2-3 more people to work with us to produce the festival. We have short meetings every 2-3 weeks January-April (3 months) and each person takes on a task or two. It is a great opportunity to gain production skills and work with a great group of people. This festival is a joy to produce, low stress and no drama! There is no guarantee of pay, though we do give small stipends if we can. There is a thank you dinner for the production staff. Let us know if you are interested.
Thanks
