Storyfest 3, 2013: performers come forth!

storyfest-3Branwen Arts and Stories Unlimited have announced a call for performers at the Third Annual Storyfest event, to be held on Sunday 24th March, 2013.

The aim of the event is to present a day of stories presented in a variety of live performance forms – traditional telling, readings, theatre, dance, and so on.

The event will be hosted at Here Be Pictsies in Bran, commencing at 10:00 SLT on Sunday 24th March, and running through until 17:00 that day.

Anyone who is currently presenting stories in Second Life in any manner of live performance (i.e. not pre-recorded readings / performances), are welcome – and encouraged – to apply. Performances should be timed to fit a 30 or 60 minute slot, although there are limited slots for more elaborate presentations. Multiple performers can share a single slot, so long as the organisers are aware of how many and who as a part of the application. Note that not stream will be available for individual performers.

The organisers are also seeking volunteer hosts to help organise and run the day’s events.

How To Apply

Those wishing to participate as either a performer or volunteer host should contact either Caledonia Skytower or Dubhna Rhiadra via notecard, giving their SL name and role (performer / host) they are interested. Those wishing to help with hosting should provide times at which they can be available on the day. Performers should also provide the following:

  • Length of slot required (30 or 60 minutes, or time or running time of presentation if seeking one of the limited slots for longer events)
  • An outline of your proposed performance / presentation, including technical requirements you require (e.h. prim count for props, etc.) – again, please note that no stream will be available for individual performers / presenters
  • If the persentation involves multiple performers, please supply the number / names
  • A reference to what and where you present on the grid at present.

All submissions should be received no later than midnight SLT on Monday 4th March, 2013. successful applicants will receive confirmation by Thursday 14th March, and a schedule for the event will be published at that time.

Additional Notes

  • The organizers reserve the right to review the performers submitting and accept those performances & performers that they feel best fit the goals of the festival
  • While performers are welcome to use the theme from this year’s World Storytelling Day (“Fate and Fortune”), which takes place on Wednesday March 20th, for their presentation / performance at Storyfest, the organisers of Storyfest wish to emphasise that performers need not restrict themselves to just that theme
  • Questions on the event should be addressed to Caledonia Skytower or Dubhna Rhiadra by notecard, as IMs do frequently get capped.
