Friends, Colleagues and Everyone Else:
We of Great Small Works are feeling the Toy Theater itch again. We loved our Isolating Together pandemic evenings, the extraordinary gems that were created, and the pleasure we felt as a creative community during frightening times.
The times have changed, but we're hoping that the creative seeds are continuing to propagate and blossom.
And so ... we are planning another ONLINE international Toy Theater Festival, to take place on May 27th and 28th.
We are seeking 1- to 3-minute pieces. Whatever is on your mind these days.
They can be sent to us as pre-recorded videos, or can be performed live online.
It's possible that we will have more proposals than we can accommodate. But this is not a juried event, and we are not strict about Toy Theater rules. We do hope that you, as we, are inspired by the form's grand limitations -- flat, in a frame, small-scale, accessible. And that you will stick to the time request.
To see what we did in 2020, the programs are archived here, Virtual Toy Theater Festival Days #1-#6: https://www.facebook.
We expect the majority of pieces to be pre-recorded. But if you are interested in performing live, please let me know. We will want to have a short rehearsal to practice the tech, and we also want to balance the live/taped ratio.
Time Line --
As soon as possible: Send message expressing interest to Trudi Cohen, trudico@gmail.com.
May 15: Deadline for commitment, with a title and credits for listing.
May 22: Deadline for sending pre-recorded work.
Week of May 22-26: Rehearsals for live performers.
Thank you!
