RISK RIOT REJUVINATION

Call for Submissions for 2008

DEADLINE: 5PM, SEPT 14, 2007

Canada’s premiere new works festival returns February 2008.
Buddies’ announces the welcome return of the Rhubarb Festival after a one-year hiatus. For almost 30 years The Rhubarb Festival has offered Toronto artists a critic-free environment to experiment with new theatrical explorations. Rhubarb encourages established artists to take new risks and emerging artists to explore the medium of performance creation in a safe, encouraging space. Buddies in Bad Times Theatre is currently accepting submissions of new, original contemporary theatre for our 30th Rhubarb Festival until Sept 14, 2007.

Rhubarb is a partially curated, but primarily submission-driven festival. Submissions are reviewed by a selection committee composed of Erika Hennebury, Festival Director, David Oiye, Artistic Director, Jim LeFrancois, Producer and Associate Artists Ed Roy and Moynan King. Criteria for this year’s festival are strongly in the realm of experimental, devised, innovative contemporary performance. Although script-based submissions will be accepted, Buddies strongly encourages submissions which are more experimental in nature. Rhubarb seeks submissions from contemporary theatre, conceptual dance, performance art, new media, installation art and welcomes new hybrids of live performance as well as cross-disciplinary experiments and collaborations.

The 2008 Rhubarb Festival seeks proposals for the following stages:

* The Cabaret: performances up to 25 minutes in length, for the proscenium Cabaret stage
* The Chamber: performances up to 25 minutes in length, for the Buddies Mainspace

ABOUT RHUBARB!
Rhubarb was first produced by Buddies in 1979, and is the country’s oldest new works fest. Rhubarb is more than a festival; it is a commentary on theatre - on how we create it, on how we present it, and on how we experience it. Here we allow the artist and the idea to be the centre of attention. The trappings of traditional theatre are purged in favour of a stripped-down approach, where inspiration and invention are genesis. Over almost 30 years Rhubarb has seen exciting new work by a host of groundbreaking Canadian artists such as Daniel MacIvor, Daniel Brooks, Guillermo Verdecchia, Don McKellar, Diane Flacks, Gavin Crawford, Sonja Mills, Darren O’Donnell, Sky Gilbert, Damien Atkins, Atom Egoyan, Jacob Wren, Ann-Marie MacDonald (and many more).
