Choreographers
must submit a completed application
form, $60 submission
fee and recording (DVD/VHS) of actual choreography being entered
for review. Submission of press package and/or background information
is recommended but not required. Incomplete submission materials
or those exceeding the Festival time limits (see below) will not
be processed.
Submission materials must be postmarked on or before May 26,
2008.
Submitted materials become the property of the McCallum Theatre Institute.
Choreographers can submit in both Divisions I and II. Only one choreographic
submission per category (solo, pas de deux, small group, ensemble)
per Division is accepted. Each piece of choreography must be submitted
on a separate recording and be accompanied by a separate application
form.
The recording must contain only the choreography being submitted.
Professional recordings are not required, but attention to quality,
clarity and point of view are essential for accurate judging of choreography.
Submitted choreography must not exceed 11 minutes for Division I
and 7 minutes for Division II. Choreography that exceeds the Festival
time limits will not be processed.
Choreographers under 18 must have parental permission to participate
in the Festival.
A committee will select finalists for both Divisions based on the
materials submitted. Finalists will perform the submitted choreography
live at the McCallum Theatre for the Performing Arts before a general
audience and panel of judges and will compete for cash awards.
Finalists are responsible for travel arrangements and all other
related expenses.
Finalists will be announced and posted on the Festival Web site at www.mccallumtheatre.com/education/festival.php by
September 1, 2008.
