APPLICATION OVERVIEW AND GUIDELINES Before filling out an application for DramaRama, please note: DramaRama is a PRESENTING ORGANIZATION, not a PRODUCING ORGANIZATION. We provide a space for you and your performers to present your latest work. Due to numerous constraints, we don't have the resources to provide you with directors, actors, or dancers. In short, we showcase finished performance works; we cannot assist in the mounting of those works.
MISSION DramaRama is a nonprofit organization that exists to encourage new work in the performing arts. DramaRama’s annual performing arts festival offers artists from New Orleans and beyond a nurturing environment in which to present their latest work. DramaRama also strives to increase theatre audiences by producing performance events that reflect the diversity of our community.
ELIGIBILITY & SELECTION DramaRama is open to individual artists as well as performing arts companies. Works ranging from traditional theatre to experimental performance and dance are welcome. Works performed previously in DramaRama are ineligible. Proposals will be judged on a number of criteria such as artistic quality, experimentation, and innovation. Visual documentation and work samples are not required, but are highly encouraged for the selection process. Proposed works may range from five to 30 minutes. Jurors will select works based on the time and space available. Outstanding works will receive featured times and spaces. Artists who were featured last year are ineligible to be featured again this year.
HONORARIA Participating artists will receive an honorarium, based on a share of admission revenue. The amount of the honorarium varies from year to year, depending on funding and other circumstances.
REQUIREMENTS A non-refundable application fee of $10 is required with each application. This fee, along with the quality of the application, will serve as an indicator of seriousness of the artist’s intent. Participating artists are required to attend an orientation meeting and a technical rehearsal.
Completed applications must be received no later than Friday, February 29, 2008. Applications may be mailed to
DramaRama, Inc.
P.O. Box 58175
New Orleans, LA 70158-8175or hand-delivered to the Contemporary Arts Center at 900 Camp Street. Completed applications may also be emailed to info@dramarama.org.
NOTE: Artists/groups submitting their applications via email may include links to music, video, and photos online instead of sending hard copies of their supporting materials--in fact, we would prefer this to receiving dvds, cds, and other press kit materials!
Late applications may be accepted but not juried.
