Priorities
We will prioritize projects that combine disciplines, bridge cultures and theatrical traditions, are politically and/or intellectually provocative, and look to reinvent the theatrical experiment. We embrace digital and digital/analogue experiments as part of this. We hope to solicit submissions that, whether digital or not, provide audiences with a feeling that their experience of the work is consequential. We are very interested in WHY a project is necessary at this time.
