2nd National Asian American Theatre Festival Call for productions/plays/performers

Call for Proposals!
2nd National Asian American Theater Festival
New York City, October 2009

Download the Guidelines and Application Now!

NAATF 09 Guidelines

NAATF 09 Application Form

Web: http://www.naatf.org

Proposals are being accepted now through November 1, 2008 from companies and individual artists for the Second National Asian American Theater Festival, to be held in New York City from October 8-18, 2009.
Over approximately 10 days, the Festival will present approximately 10 productions by Asian American companies and individual artists, showcasing performance works that demonstrate and celebrate the vitally important contributions of Asian Americans to contemporary American culture. The Festival is a continuation of the momentum generated by the First National Asian American Theater Festival of June 2007, and
National Asian American Theater Conferences in Los Angeles and Minneapolis, in 2006 and 2008, respectively.

For this Festival, we will be concentrating on presenting theater and performance art. While we acknowledge the equally important and rich dance and music works Asian American artists offer, it is beyond our capacity to include those disciplines at this time. We seek to represent diversity in demographics, style, and subject matter, and will present work from both established and emerging companies and artists from various parts of the country. Artists and companies who have not previously been represented at conferences and festivals are especially encouraged to apply.

Proposed Programming:

* Fully produced works representing the diverse Asian American theatrical landscape.
* As appropriate, productions of collected solo and ensemble performance pieces.
* Open mics and showcase events. Proposals to curate or host an event will be accepted.

NAATF provides financial support in the form of a travel and accommodation stipend and the proceeds of the participant’s net box office earnings. Stipend amounts vary based upon whether participant is applying as a company or individual/solo artist, the number of artists appearing in the production and the distances from NYC that the artist(s) will be traveling. Net of box office equals the gross ticket revenue from the participant’s shows less cost of ticket production, service charges, box office costs. NAATF tickets are priced $18, with additional discounts given to customers purchasing multiple tickets.
