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.

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.
