this is the Open Call for the international student festival FURORE in Ludwigsburg.

 

The deadline for applications is March 5, 2018.

Welcome to FURORE!
This summer, the Academy of Performing Arts Baden-Württemberg (ADK) holds its second international theatre festival, Furore. For three long summer days and nights, Ludwigsburg will be the pulsing heart of tomorrow´s theatre world.
2018 marks both the 300th anniversary of the town of Ludwigsburg, and the 10th anniversary of the Academy of Performing Arts. On the occasion of this double celebration, we invite young artists and collectives from Baden-Württemberg, Europe and further afield to Ludwigsburg. Between 19 – 22 July, Furore will bring together local and international emerging artists, and offer insight into new work and thinking around performing arts.
For Furore, performing arts may include spoken and music theatre, dance and performance art, but also projects that stretch out to film, animation and fine arts. The Academy´s close ties to the Film Academy Ludwigsburg and the Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart enables a wide range of interdisciplinary projects. To complement the main programme of performances, Furore will also include a range of lectures, talks, parties and concerts.
In an increasingly unstable world, where new borders are drawn, defined and defended everywhere we look, Furore is looking instead for the vague, the elusive, the fluid. Searching for something to hold onto, performing arts can at present only be complex and controversial. We do not believe in straight answers. We do not want to resolve contradictions. We cannot pretend to not be liminal. We will colour in the gaps between us with felt-tips. We will encounter anOther, eachOther. We will throw a party for all the differences. Long live disagreement! Long live polyphony! We are no we. We don´t belong to this. That is why we´re exactly right here.

Apply for FURORE 2018
Any project that defines itself as performing arts (spoken and music theatre, puppetry, dance, etc), fine arts or film, and projects that evade or do not fit into any genre can apply.
To apply, we need three things from you:
1) General information on your project and all participants (Attachment 1)
2) Technical requirements of your project (Attachment 2)
3) A full recording of a staging or rehearsals, and supplementary photos

Closing date for entries is 5 March 2018.
The festival programme will be devised by students of the Academy of Performing Arts, and takes place across a range of locations (including theatres, exhibition spaces, cinemas, etc). Depending on the format and scope of your project, this means it can be shown once or several times over the course of the festival, and possibly in a variety of venues.
