Call for Proposals for upcoming theatrics event

Netsap Call for Proposals for Upcoming Theatrics Event
The theme of this event is "9/11 and its impact on the South Asian diaspora"

With the 5 year anniversary of 9/11, awareness in our community is pre-eminent. Netsap-Boston would like to hold a half-day event in which we invite South Asians to demonstrate their creative work under the theme of the effect and ramification of 9/11 on the South Asian diaspora in at least 3 categories of works:

Literary (prose, fiction, non-fiction)
Visual arts (movement, dance, skits)
Artwork (photography, sculpture, paintings)

We are currently seeking proposals for works in each category. The work can reflect any aspect of the artist’s interpretation or rendering of the impact of 9/11 through a South Asian perspective. This is a chance to highlight your creativity for a good cause as proceeds from this event will go towards charity. Proposals must include the category of work (one of three listed above), explanation of how the work embodies the theme of this event, and description of the how the work will be presented.

• Please limit this description to 1 page and plan for a presentation of your work not to exceed 20 minutes in length
• For artwork, these will be displayed rather than presented. Visual arts should be presented through demonstration or short audiovisual presentation. Literary works should be presented in the format of a book reading.

Due Date: Proposals are due November 1, 2006 (Note: Actual event to be held in January/February 2007 in Boston, MA (details will come later)

Contact: Please RSVP as soon as possible that you plan to submit a proposal by the due date. Then please email proposals and any questions to: Usha (cultural@netsapboston.org). Decisions will take up to 2 weeks. Will be notified by email.
