X-UALITY FESTIVAL - Summer 2010

THANK YOU TO ALL THAT SUBMITTED
- WINNERS ANNOUNCED SOON!!!


Call for Short Works about diverse Queer sexualities for
Come As You Are! - The X-UALITY FESTIVAL
The 40th anniversary of the Stonewall riots is rapidly approaching. For this historic anniversary the queer community is gearing up to celebrate the gains our movement has made. We also wish to evaluate our movement's course as we move into the future. Camposition and it's amazing partner up north, The Theater Offensive seeks to achieve just this with some good, queer performance by a select group of artists!

Camposition in parntership with The Theater Offensive Boston, The Flynn Theater Burlington Vermont and the National Performance Network, is proud to announce:

Come As You Are! - The X-UALITY FESTIVAL: a nationally coordinated series of locally produced performance events from June 2009 through June 2010.

Come As You Are intends to recognize and give voice to the great diversity of queer sexualities. Let's not forget how important SEX is in the queer milieu. The role that sex and sexuality have played in the movement for queer liberation cannot be ignored for this historic celebration!


What we're looking for:
Short performance works that explore the diversity of queer sexualities, the changing realities of queer sex, and/or the role sex has played in the LGBT movement
Works that help engage audiences in vibrant conversation about queer sexualities and the values that underlie them; pieces with audience participation are a plus
