The Body is Back for 2011!

While the Christchurch earthquake may have put the brakes on the 2010 Body Festival, The Body is definitely still dancing, and more determined than ever to create a spectacular Festival for 2011. There are some incredible events planned for next year and submissions are now being sought for dancers and dance organisations to be part of the celebrations in the city that definitely knows how to "shake" its booty!

The Body Festival is seeking dance and physical theatre submissions for the 2011 Festival - both as umbrella works and presentations. Proposals are sought for a range of events from small, mid or large scale performances to a variety of community workshops.

Applicants who were accepted for the 2010 Festival (but were unable to present work due to the Festival's cancellation) are also invited to resubmit their performances for consideration and programming.

The Body Festival is Christchurch's annual dance and physical theatre festival and each year aims to host a variety of related projects during the festival period, which will run from 23 September to 9 October 2011 (possibly extending to 16 October).

As always The Body Festival will provide venue and technical support as well as generic marketing and other support where applicable in return for a box office split generously favouring the presenting artist.

To allow considerable time for the processing of applications for the 2011 programme the deadline for submissions is Monday 8 November 2010.

Please send proposals, along with any support documentation (incl. DVD's, tech specs, images etc)to PO Box 13663, 2/173 Gloucester Street, Christchurch by Monday 8 November 2010.
