PROVOCATION:
BORDER, noun, the part or edge of a surface or area that forms its outer boundary.
the line that separates one country, state, province, person etc., from another;
Our lives are full of borders and borderlines; lines that separate, enclose, exclude, surround, and protect; we encounter them physically, emotionally, psychologically, environmentally, and spiritually. We are asking, how are borderlines created? What does it mean to challenge a border? How do we cross a border? How can a border be interacted with? How do we know what or where a border(line) is? How do we obstruct, destroy, re-create, and delineate borders? Are all borders restrictive?
WHAT IS IMMERSIVE THEATRE:
Immersive theatre invites audiences to engage with performances in new and non-traditional ways. When attending an immersive show, you move through the theatre encountering performances in a variety of locations. You may be seated in a cushy seat watching the action on a stage or you may be invited to engage with performers in the lobby or take in an art installation as you transition from one location to the next.
APPLICATION:
Interested artists may submit an on-line application.
