Call: 7a*11d International Performance Art Festival

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: 7a*11d International Performance Art Festival
Date: Submissions due January 15, 2008; Source: 7a*11d Collective

This is the call for submissions for 7a*11d's 7th International Festival of Performance Art in 11 years, taking place in Toronto from October 22 ñ November 2, 2008. Organized by an unincorporated non-profit group of artists, 7a*11d presents a series of performance art events and artist projects in a festival setting. Our purpose is to offer a professional showcase for new and progressive performance
art works. Artist organizers will select emerging and established artists of the highest quality from around the world that showcase the breadth and depth of performance art as a genre. We pay artist fees and try to subsidize travel, but please note that our budget is limited and not adequate to support troupes or companies.

PLUS:
D2D Direct to Documentation: A video program of performance documentation. Can't come to the Festival? We still want to see your work! Send us an edited tape [five minutes or less on NTSCVHS, Hi-8,
mini-DV, CD or DVD] of your performance documentation or performance for camera. (No PAL or SECAM tapes, please!) Selected tapes will be curated into a screening program. Artist fees will be paid
for those selected for screening.
