DivaFest 2010
A juried competition for female playwrights, especially emerging artists.
DivaFest, the newest initiative under the IndyFringe umbrella, announces a ‘Call For Scripts’ Dec. 15, 2009-Jan. 15, 2010.
IndyFringe is launching the First Annual Indy DivaFest during May 2010, with special tie-ins to the sixth annual IndyFringe Festival during August 2010.
“IndyFringe is expanding its commitment to audiences and providing new opportunities for women playwrights through a program that has proven its viability in other fringe communities,” said Pauline Moffat, IndyFringe executive director. “Through DivaFest we will develop and present voices not often heard and showcase the work of established voices. DivaFest is different from other juried competitions in that we will help playwrights learn the process of play production and marketing.”
“In addition we will involve audiences in the process of playwrighting and production through public conversations and discussions during DivaFest. We want to engage the community in how to approach a new script as an audience member as well as learn from actors, directors and designers how they approach a new script.”
The long range goal is to establish Indianapolis as a centre for developing women playwrights through an annual May DivaFest and as a vibrant part of the annual IndyFringe.
“We want to engage the entire community in providing benefits to community/civic, college/university and professional theatres through an ongoing May DivaFest.”
Scripts are to be from 45-60 minutes in length, single-set, new or have been produced elsewhere, and can be one-person or multiple-cast covering a range of dramatic forms.
If further information is required contact Pauline Moffat or by phone 317-522-8099.
