Open artist application to the 2009 Berkshire Fringe
Bazaar Productions is delighted to announce our open artist application to the 2009 Berkshire Fringe! Over the last four years, The Festival has hosted more than 100 performers and presented three dozen new works that have blended genres, represented new styles, and delved into traditions underrepresented in the mainstream. Held in the Daniel Arts Center at Bard College at Simon's Rock in late July and August, the Festival will feature 21 days of dynamic new works of theater, dance and multi-media performances by emerging artists from across the United States.Since 2005, The Berkshire Fringe has filled a niche in the local cultural community by providing an opportunity for emerging artists to perform in a fresh, exciting and professional atmosphere. In 2009, six companies or individuals will be invited to participate. All artists will receive a state of the art theater space, housing, assistance with marketing and publicity, extensive support from technical and front of house staff and a percentage of their box office. Bazaar Productions is solely dedicated to presenting new works at affordable ticket prices while focusing funds and resources to create an exemplary experience for all participating artists.
