Call for Performers - National Storytelling Network Fringe, July 2012
NSN Conference Fringe
National Storytelling Network (NSN) Conference – June 28 through July
1, 2012
Cincinnati, Ohio
The Fringe @ the NSN is back for its 6th Season!
Explore the limits of storytelling at the National Storytelling
Conference.
Want to present 55 minutes of your most compelling, riskiest,
experimental or work in progress storytelling? How about a mini-
fringe
event with you and a friend in a pair of shorter performances? Just
think of the possibilities: 55 minutes of folktales, autobiography,
performance art, stand-up, puppetry, dance or your favorite long form
story!
What is the Fringe? The NSN Conference Fringe follows the Fringe
Festival model giving artists freedom to create and audiences "the
ability to decide for themselves the truly great productions from the
good, the bad and the gloriously disastrous." In keeping with the
Fringe principle of an un-juried selection process, Fringe performers
for the 2012 National Storytelling Network Conference will be
selected
by lottery.
Growing networks of performance venues all over the world have
adopted
this model and many storytellers are taking advantage of these venues
to reach new audiences. The Conference Fringe encourages more
storytellers to participate in American and Canadian Fringe Festivals
by providing the opportunity for you to experience many aspects of a
typical Fringe Festival including the selection process and
performance framework.
Deadline: August 31, 2011
