What is Practice looking for?
In-person works that are small in scale, but big in ideas. We’re talking about performances, workshops and experiences that break away from our traditional expectations of what theatre is. Most importantly, we’re looking for our partners in play!
All works will be presented at Practice (54 Waterloo Street), Objectifs – Centre for Photography & Film or the P7:1SMA studio space (Stamford Arts Centre). Depending on the work, the actual presentation venue will be discussed and mutually decided by the artist(s) and Practice.
All works will also need to adhere to the latest NAC guidelines for Arts and Culture Advisories.
How do I submit my proposal?
