CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS - UNDERCURRENTS FESTIVAL - OTTAWA, ON
------------------------------------------------------------

Undercurrents is the Great Canadian Theatre Company's festival of
independent theatre from February 8-19, 2012. Now in its second year,
undercurrents seeks original, innovative work by Canadian artists.

Undercurrents will present six shows in 2012, and invites submissions
from Ottawa-based and national companies. The festival will consider
applications from established and emerging artists who are working in
new play creation, as well as artists touring previously produced
original work.  We encourage submissions from artists experimenting in
form, style, and creation process.   

Participating productions will receive up to five performances in rep,
within a shared venue environment. Productions should be 50-80 minutes
in length. Festival participants will be paid a presenting fee. 

Companies engaging Equity artists should contact a Business
Representative in order to make the appropriate contractual
arrangements.

Companies and artists are invited to submit the following materials by
Monday, July 4, 2011 at 5:00 pm.  Applications of interest will be
contacted no later than September 2011.
