Performance Artists for Ottawa Fringe Festival Production
Whatsoever
Ottawa Fringe Festival - June 18-28
Lottery-selected paid performance opportunity.
No audition, no headshot, no previous experience required.
The goal is to reduce barriers to participation and the burden of rejection.
Open to any Black artists or performers who are open to co-creation
Inspired by the work of Edouard Glissant, this performance brings together professional artists and community to co-create an experimental multi-audio track performance about Black hypervisibility. There will be collective witnessing of the stage performance, while each audience member will privately navigate their own audio experience.
Three on-stage performers and one virtual / remote performer will be selected. Each performer will be assigned a 5 minute slot and we will co-create an action or movement based performance based on key themes. Speech and audio are optional.
