WHAT'S NEW?
The PAPRIKA THEATRE FESTIVAL has begun its search
for spicy new works by hot young artists 21 and under
And it’s completely FREE!
DEADLINE IS 25th September, 2008
The Paprika Festival is now accepting submissions for the EIGHTH
ANNUAL PAPRIKA FESTIVAL, a two-week festival of original short works
created by artists under 21. One of its kind in Canada, this festival
gives young artists – playwrights, directors, actors, designers, composers,
video artists, songwriters and stage managers – the opportunity to
develop their own work with a professional artist mentor and then
showcase it in a two week festival at Tarragon Theatre in March 2009.
Whether you already have a script and a team or an idea or you just
want to get involved – Paprika wants to hear from you. We encourage
submissions from young artists of all levels of experience.
There are three streams this year!
1. PRODUCTIONS
You provide the script and the team – director, actors, stage
manager – and we give you the chance to work closely with a professional
artist mentor and perform in the studios at Tarragon Theatre. EMAIL
or MAIL us an application form, script and project description.
2. CREATOR’S UNIT
Do you write stories, poems, songs or scripts? Do you compose
music, take photos, make films, perform on the street or in the theatre?
Do you sing, dance, paint or create installation art? Apply to the
Creator’s Unit where you’ll get a chance work with professional artists
and meet, collaborate and develop your work with other young artists.
EMAIL or MAIL in a sample of your work and tell us a bit about yourself
and why you want to be part of the Paprika Festival.
3. BACKSTAGE: DESIGNER’S AND PRODUCER’S UNIT
Do you like getting your hand’s dirty and making things happen?
Do you wanna design costumes, set, lighting, sound or graphics? Apply
to this unit and work with professional theatre artists to design,
produce or work backstage. EMAIL or MAIL us a sample of your work
(if you’re a designer) and tell us a bit about yourself and why you
want to be part of the Paprika Festival.
