CALL FOR PROPOSALS

The DC 12th Annual Improvisation Plus+ Festival, October 17 - 22, 2006, is 
seeking proposals from dancers and other performing artists interested in 
participating in the 2006 Festival.

The DC Improvisation Festival has been held annually in Washington for the 
past eleven years. Earlier festivals have included a variety of DC dance 
groups, actors and musicians, as well as artists from elsewhere in the US 
and the world. Performances have been held in various locations and theaters 
around town.

PLAN FOR THIS YEAR:
The Festival will feature site-specific performances held in public places 
around Washington, DC. Performances will be free and will occur regularly 
throughout the course of the festival.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR PARTICIPATION:
Festival organizers are seeking artists to create work and perform it during 
the festival.   Performances will be publicized by festival organizers, and 
a small stipend may be available. Applicants are urged to select a specific 
site and develop work in which the site itself is an integral part of the 
performance; the work should ideally change how observers experience that 
place in the future. Possible sites include the Lincoln Memorial, Union 
Station or Malcolm X Park, but unusual spots, and streets and neighborhoods 
where everyday life occurs, are particularly encouraged.  Improvisation 
should be part of the work.  It is up to each participant to define 
improvisation.

To apply, please send a Word document with this information:

1.	Name, a short bio
2.	Contact information for the artist creating the work (email and 
telephone)
3.	Number of performers involved
4.	The performance site
5.	A short description of the envisaged performance, including an 
explanation of how the work will genuinely incorporate the site (maximum 500 
words)
6.	Necessary conditions for the performance (i.e., daytime) and date/time 
restrictions, if applicable

Send all applications or questions to Amanda Abrams at 
abramsamanda at hotmail.com. Deadline for applications is July 15, 2006.
