CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

BUDDIES IN BAD TIMES THEATRE ANNOUNCES A CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS FOR the THIRD annual HYSTERIA: A FESTIVAL OF WOMEN, the largest multi-disciplinary showcase of its kind in North America.

DEADLINE May 15, 2007

Buddies is seeking submissions for it’s 4th incarnation of this
international showcase of female talents from the worlds of theatre,
dance, film & video, performance art, music and visual art. Curated
by Buddies’ Associate Artist Moynan King, HYSTERIA is a vital female
forum for presentation, discussion and exchange, unlike any other in
the country.

For two weeks, Buddies’ 12 Alexander Street digs play host to a jam-
packed calendar of events, showcasing over one hundred female artists
from across North America and around the world. The worlds of
theatre, dance, visual art and music intersect as HYSTERIA offers
uniquely eclectic mixed programmes that feature anything and
everything from a one-minute film to a sculptural installation, to
dance piece, to a ten-minute cabaret performance. Hysteria also
presents short plays, new opera, musical cabaret, film, dance, video,
panel discussions, classes and a visual art gallery, open throughout
the festival.

Buddies seeks submissions from any artistic discipline of new
creations as well as existing works by emerging and established
artists from diverse cultural, sexual and artistic backgrounds.
Submissions guidelines and application forms are available on Buddies
website. Hysteria participants will receive an honourarium. A List of
successful applicants will be posted online by August, 2007.

“I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is.
I only know that people call me a feminist whenever
I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat…”
