Call for Projects, Productions, and Proposals
The Verona Shakespeare Fringe seeks productions and project proposals for its 2022 Festival, scheduled for August 22-28 in Verona. Held simultaneously with the Shakespeare and the Mediterranean Summer School, and organised by the Skenè Centre at the University of Verona in collaboration with the Municipality of Verona and the “Estate teatrale” including the Verona Shakespeare Festival at the Roman Theatre, the Fringe is at once lab, studio, crucible, incubator, hothouse, and platform. The Verona Shakespeare Fringe Festival values experimentation and conversation, expression and debate, and the lively exchange of ideas.
The Verona Shakespeare Fringe Festival seeks proposals that fit the Festival’s vision for new, untried, untested, and/or innovative Shakespearean productions or adaptations, and animated by some combination of the following:
- New, original, and/or experimental approaches to Shakespeare’s plays and poetry
- Artists, researchers, and companies engaged in intercultural, multi-lingual, or otherwise international work
- Devised Theatre
- International co-productions
- Intersectional work in terms of live and digital performance
- World Premiere performances
- Intergenerational work
Festival participants will engage with students, scholars, audience members, and other artists in a rich exchange of performances, classes, and social events.
