PANSA KwaZulu-Natal is calling for proposals for the 11^th Musho! International Theatre Festival which takes place from January 13 to 18, 2016. The festival is dedicated to small works and the celebration of the skill of the solo or duo performer.

The festival is looking for work which must have only one or two persons only performing. The work should be an innovative and interesting concept; have potential appeal for local audiences; and be able to perform in festival conditions, with quick get-in and strike, and simple technical requirements.

The work should be classifiable as theatre (with a discernible narrative) – they do not stage poetry, dance or music – although these elements can be included in the work.

The company or individual should have a good track-record and reputation; the work should not have played publicly in Durban in the past 12 months; and should be 50 to 70 minutes in length.

Participants are paid for their participation in the festival. Contracts will be drawn up between the artists and the festival once selection and confirmation procedures have been concluded, in October 2015.

Proposals should be submitted to kzn@pansa.org.za before 12 (midday) on October, 2. All proposals are read by a selection committee of local theatre professionals, and successful applicants will be contacted at the end of October 2015.
