CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS - TARRAGON THEATRE URJO KAREDA RESIDENCY GRANT
------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------
This $10,000 grant is made possible by an annual donation from the
Youssef-Warren Foundation and allows the successful applicant to spend
up to 20 weeks at the Tarragon Theatre, working on a self-created
program in collaboration with an artist or artists in the applicant's
chosen field of interest. 

The grant is geared toward an emerging professional theatre artist,
whether it be in the field of playwriting, direction, design or the
technical arts. The residency period will occur between August 2006 and
June 2007.  The grant will be adjudicated by a committee consisting of
senior theatre artists and a representative of the Foundation.

In the context of the theatre award, "emerging artist" is defined as an
artist of any age who has spent no fewer than two years and no more than
five in his/her chosen field (after training, if applicable), and who
has demonstrated a strong interest in and potential for working in
theatre. The applicant must have created, or participated in, at least
one artistic work that has been presented, produced, or published. The
applicant must become a resident in the Greater Toronto Area for the
duration of the proposed program. Applications are encouraged from
artists of diverse cultures and artists working on non-traditional forms
of theatre. The adjudicating committee will be most interested in the
individual specifics of each application.

All applications must be received at Tarragon - by mail, courier, or in
person (no faxes or e-mails) - by April 28, 2006.

The Urjo Kareda Residency Grant for an Emerging Theatre Artist will be
announced on (or before) June 30, 2006.
