Carte Blanche Call for Submissions: Deadline September 9, carteblanche.acadie@gmail.com An evening of dance, Saturday, November 26th, 2022 @8pm, Salle Bernard-Leblanc, Centre culturel Aberdeen, Moncton
Through this event, we hope to create strategies and develop the dance community together, since dance is an art form free of language barriers.
The 4th edition of Carte Blanche Acadie will take place on November 26th, 2022, at the Bernard-LeBlanc Hall at the Aberdeen Cultural Centre, Moncton, NB, at 8 p.m. The event will be followed the next day by a business meeting to discuss the development of the dance scene. This meeting will be conducted in both official languages, English and French, at the Aberdeen Cultural Centre.
This is a wonderful opportunity to come to Moncton for a weekend dedicated to the Art of Dance! Carte Blanche Acadie (November 26th, 8 PM-10 PM) The aim of Carte Blanche Acadie is to offer a platform adapted to the needs of dance artists during which they can present work. The maximum length of each presentation will be 10 minutes. Whether the project is in the research stage, in development or about to be completed, the only criteria to participate is to have something to share. Even improvisation is more than welcome.
You would only have to specify what you would like to show in the application form. The presence of peers and an informed audience will allow you to have feedback on your work whether it is vocal or sensory.
Presenting, sharing and discussing in an inclusive environment are the objectives of Carte Blanche. In addition to providing a platform to perform, we will be providing a video of your performance as well as photographs that you can use for grants and future applications. Each act will receive an honorarium. The money accumulated at the door (in the form of a voluntary contribution) will also be divided equally between the acts and given to the person/company who submitted the project.
As for the selection process, we would like to accept as many projects as possible, but if we do not have enough time, as we will only have 2 hours for the event, we will draw candidates by lottery. Preference will be given for artists from the Atlantic provinces.
The chosen artists will be responsible for covering their own travel and accommodation expenses. Nevertheless, we can supply a letter of invitation to those who wish to submit a travel grant application. It may also be possible to find housing among local artists.
Please fill out the attached application form here.
The deadline for submissions is Friday, September 9th, 2022.

Theatre New Brunswick is seeking scripts to workshop for its third annual Fall Festival of New Plays, taking place September 2022. If you are a New Brunswick born or based playwright and you have a full-length script that is ready for a workshop, we’d like to hear from you.
The Fall Festival of New Plays will support artists in their creation process. This might mean that you work “traditionally” and you have a script and need time with a dramaturge and a cast of actors. It might mean that you and your team need studio space to create and move. We will work with you to help you take the next step with your play. The explicit goal of the Fall Festival is to foster new play creation and grow the canon of New Brunswick plays.
We will develop approximately five scripts. The Festival will culminate with public readings, highlighting the new works and the artists involved. Currently, the plan is to host the readings online, but we may do one or more in person, depending on the submissions we receive.
We’d prefer to work on ideas and scripts that are already in development, as opposed to ideas that are very new. The projects and the creators should be ready for outside input, criticism and collaboration. It is not necessary that the play be something that TNB would consider producing.
What we will provide:
* A dramaturge to work with and help establish goals/writing schedule, and to direct the final reading.
* A cast of actors to read your work (if required.)
* A fee for the applicant/playwright (we’ll negotiate if there isn’t one main writer).
* A selection committee will review all applications and select the artists and works that will be supported. The selection committee will consist of Natasha MacLellan, Artistic & Executive Director TNB, and Nate Telman, Fall Festival Coordinator.
Send applications to submissions@tnb.nb.cawith subject line TNB Fall Festival Submission.
Please include the following in your application:
* A cover letter that details the development history of your play.
* A clear idea of what you hope to achieve during the process and what you think you need (if it is above and beyond the support we outlined above).
* A copy of your script.
The Music Industry Development Program (MID) is designed to foster the development and growth of the music industry in New Brunswick through investment in projects submitted by New Brunswick music industry artists and businesses.
