Call for production concept proposals, new positions in int'l performing arts

NEW POSITIONS IN INTERNATIONAL PERFORMING ARTS
CALL FOR PRODUCTION CONCEPT PROPOSALS
FOR THE PLATEAUX FESTIVAL IN APRIL 2008

Plateaux is an international production festival for young artists in the field of experimental theatre, performance and live-art. Initiated by the Künstlerhaus MOUSONTURM and co-produced by the Deutsche Bank Stiftung, the festival aims to promote new experimental forms of performance by providing them with a professional platform. Plateaux defines itself as a base for artists, who in a conscious and
integrated way operate between the given borderlines of various performing arts. Plateaux herewith would like to invite international artists and artist groups to send in concept proposals for productions in all fields of the performing arts. The concepts should reveal an individual aesthetic position.

Plateaux will commission a limited number of productions. These projects can be carried out and developed beginning December 2007 in residencies either at the Künstlerhaus MOUSONTURM or at one of the co-producing houses. The finished productions will then be presented as part of the Plateaux Festival in April 2008. Plateaux will supervise the productions and promote the finished pieces within the
existing international networks.

Plateaux application deadline -- 1st of September 2007 (post marked)

Every proposal must be submitted in print and in digital form (accepted formats: pdf, jpg, html, excel, word). Please clearly mark all material with name of the applicant and project title.

Proposals have to include:
- completed application form that is available for download here
- detailed project description
- comprehensive documentation of previous productions with video examples (prescribed format: DVD, length: maximum 60 minutes)
- CV's of all participants
- calculated budget of the expected total costs including a finance model covering 30% of the total costs

The budget should provide an overview of the total production costs including all artistic fees, travel costs, material costs, royalties, etc. (Accommodation during the residency periods, technical staff and PR will be covered by Künstlerhaus MOUSONTURM and do not need to be calculated). The size of the budget has no influence on the choice of production concepts. The volume of production grant will not exceed 70% of the total budget and will be determined according to the requirements of the respective production.

Proposals will be assessed by the project manager and the artistic advisory board.
The decisions will be announced in November 2007.
