Call for proposals 


The curatorial committee of Theater In My Basement is accepting proposals for this year’s ¡Teatro Caliente! festival. This year’s festival will be held in downtown Phoenix in November. We are looking for highly experimental, transcultural (and transgender) work in all fields of performance (including, but not limited to: Performance Art, Dance, Multi-media, Solo Performance, Theater, Music and any interdisciplinary work that falls outside of the mainstream categories, whatever those might be). We’re looking for pieces of various lengths, but between 10 minutes and 55 minutes is a good guideline. In keeping with the mission statement of the festival, work that represents the diverse populations of Phoenix, in any language, will be given priority. Entry into the festival is based on Innovation, Experimentation, and Transculturality. O, and there is pay.

To Apply, please send: 
- 1-page description of the project 
- 1-page description of the group or performer 
- When possible, a link to samples of the proposed work (or, if the work is brand new, samples of prior work). We prefer video samples for examination, but understand that this is not always available—in these cases, we will make every effort to send a member of the committee to see the work in person. 
The deadline for consideration is September 15th, 2008. Please e-mail samples to: 

chrisdanowski@yahoo.com
(please put the word CALIENTE in the subject llne)

TEATRO CALIENTE
FALL 2008
November 21-22
PHiX GALLERY
1113 NW GRAND AVE.
PHOENIX
$10 AT THE DOOR EACH NIGHT

¡Teatro Caliente! a two-day festival of transcultural, experimental performance, features local work by performers pushing the barriers of their forms (interdisciplinary, visual art, dance, music, performance), and reflecting and re-representing the cultural make-up of the southwest in general and Phoenix in particular.  This brings local and international artists together to share ideas in the form of work, with an eye toward opening the barriers and quality of experimental performance work, fostering creative relationships among local and regional performing artists and organizations who might not otherwise connect, and creating spaces of artistic dialogue in multiple languages, styles, and points of view, bringing international awareness to the vibrant Phoenix arts scene.
(That sounds granty.)
((Oh but it’s true, it’s true...))
This year’s event will take place over 2 nights in the Fall of 2008. Thirty acts (in music, theatre, dance, performance, and visual art) will present, with showtimes from 7 p.m. to midnight. For information on artistic participation and administrative personnel, please see sections 3 and 5 below. Apart from the performances, the artists will be available for post-show discussions and public interviews with academic advisory committee members, to maximize the interplay between the audience and the performers, help the community grow in artistic understanding, and contribute to a public dialogue about art and performance in the Valley.
