Sunday, June 16th, 2013 will mark Clay & Paper Theatre’s 11th annual Day of Delight: A Toronto celebration of Love, Courtship and Desire outdoors in beautiful Dufferin Grove Park.
We are seeking creative collaborators to contribute works that respond to this year’s theme: celebrating Mother Earth herself, and how Toronto rests in her bosom, and how lovers love here in our beautiful city. Works of all artistic disciplines are encouraged, including theatre, music, dance, spectacle, installation, puppetry, participatory works... we dare you to surprise us!
Offerings can be large or small, new or old – but they must be suitable for outdoor space and respond to this year’s theme. We have found that image- or performance-based works of about 15 minutes in length seem to work best, whereas dialogue-driven works of a realistic nature seem to work the least. A modest honorarium will be offered to all participating individuals or groups. Please note that you are responsible for providing all requirements for your piece/ work/ performance, i.e.: materials, cast, director, set pieces, etc., although we will provide whatever support we can.
PLEASE SUBMIT THE FOLLOWING FOR CONSIDERATION:
• A 250 - 500 word proposal outlining the project and its connection with Day of Delight's theme, as well as a list of technical requirements, if applicable.
• A script (if applicable)
• Artist Statement (optional)
• CV’s for participating artists
• Support Material: A maximum of 10 images, 2 videos, and/or audio files (videos via link, CD or DVD)
PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR PROPOSAL by 5:00pm, April 24th TO: clayandpaper@sympatico.ca
Or by mail:
