Buddies In Bad Times Theatre
announces a call for submissions for

YOUNG CREATORS' UNIT

YCU Director Evalyn Parry
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: September 17, 2010, 5 pm


Buddies in Bad Times Theatre’s Young Creators Unit (YCU) provides a supportive and artistically rigorous space for four queer-identified artists (age 25 and under) to develop and perform their own original, 25-minute, solo performance piece. Under the creative mentorship of YCU Director Evalyn Parry, members of the YCU workshop their material through the weekly Unit meetings, and present their final works at the 32nd Rhubarb Festival in February 2011.

The YCU is dedicated to developing the work of promising, emerging queer creator/performers. We are interested in work that pushes the boundaries of theatrical creation, and in keeping with Buddies’ mandate, have a particular interest in work that reflects “queerness” either in terms of LGBT identity, and/or in terms of difference, being outside the mainstream, challenging in both content and form.

The 2010/11 Unit will meet on Mondays for 12 weeks, beginning October 18, 2010, thru Jan 31st 2011. In February, each YCU artist is paired with a director to work toward the final presentation of their show at Rhubarb. To participate, you MUST be available for all YCU meetings, plus be available for additional rehearsal time in January and February. Participants will receive an honorarium for their participation.

The YCU supports a wide definition of “performance”, and sets no particular limitations or guidelines as to the nature of the proposed projects (aside from a time limitation of 25 minutes). However, we do ask that the requested writing sample / support materials be original, and closely related to the proposed project, so we can fairly evaluate the project’s feasibility.


YCU SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

• Download the YCU application form from our website at buddiesinbadtimes.com
• To apply, fill out the application form and along with the following (in print, in Word .doc or pdf format):
• A letter of introduction (1 page). We want to know get to know you.
• A project proposal (2 pages max). Pitch us your idea. What would you like to do a show about?
• A writing, art or performance sample (4 pages max. video and photo links are great too). Show us your style. What’s your work like?
• A resume or bio (1 page). Do you have loads of experience? Not much at all? Either way it’s ok.

APPLICATIONS must be RECEIVED by 5 pm, September 17th, 2010.

Applicants will be notified of the status of their applications by Oct 1st, 2010


PLEASE MAIL, EMAIL OR DROP OFF SUBMISSIONS TO:
Evalyn Parry, Young Creators’ Unit Director
Buddies in Bad Times Theatre

We are asking local artists to join us in our celebration by donating works of art that will be on show to the community and will be featured in our Opening and 100th Anniversary celebration on November 16th. The Opening will include guest speakers, elected officials, performances, as well as food and will be open to the over 30,000 individuals we serve each year. Your artwork would receive a wide viewing from the community. Artists will have the opportunity to meet and greet the community and to discuss their work. Themes for the art exhibition could be: stories of settlement, new life, new beginnings, family, growth, community, trees and roots. You may also come up with your own unique idea and have your artwork tie in with your experiences, University Settlement and the role we have played in your life, or the life of the community.

University Settlement is a multi-service agency that was founded in 1910 and has the distinction of being the first community-based social service centre in the City of Toronto.

We are seeking 100 donated pieces which will be sold for 0 each. Tax receipts are available upon request. All works of art are accepted and where possible should be framed or mounted. If you have any artwork, or wish to create a new piece, that you would be willing to donate it will support University Settlement’s efforts to raise funds for our subsidy program that helps families in need participate in our programs. To-date we have raised over ,000 and proceeds from the art exhibition will bring us closer to achieving our goal of ,000. Each dollar that we raise helps a child participate in camp activities, music lessons or afterschool programs at University Settlement!
