CREATOR'S RESERVE

 



Crow’s Theatre is accepting submissions for Theatre Creators’ Reserve grants through the Ontario Arts Council.

All potential applicants should visit the OAC website for information on eligibility and application guidelines, as well as the application form.

Crow’s Theatre wishes to support the variety of needs and approaches individual creators or collectives may have in creating original work. We are interested in projects that are in all stages of development. We will support theatre creators who are working on new play texts, creation based-models, found sources and with unusual combinations of the three.

With the Theatre Creator’s Reserve, we like to enable creators to:

  • begin initial research on a new project;
  • create a solid first draft of a new play;
  • further refine a current draft of a new play, or;
  • if the project is collectively devised, find some time in a rehearsal hall.

Submission Criteria:

  • The quality of the proposed project (as evidenced in the proposal and/or the artist’s previous work)
  • The relevance of the proposed project to Crow’s Theatre’s mandate and interests
  • Clarity about the developmental path for the project

Crow’s Theatre is committed to supporting work and artists that reflect a diversity of perspectives.

Application Guidelines:

We will require the following material with all applications:

  • An up-to-date CV/resume
  • A concise one-page outline of the project describing the goals and objectives for the project as well as its history.
  • A brief half-page statement describing how the project contributes to the artist’s growth at the moment.
  • Writing sample if applicable (maximum 15 pages)
  • A budget detailing how funds will be allocated over the creation period
