Mahogany Opera's Various Stages Festival returns in 2017, showcasing the company's research and development programme, and the company is inviting artists to submit project ideas. The programme was formed to test creative and challenging ideas for opera and music theatre. Selected artists are given the opportunity to put their creative projects through a range of open and closed workshops and public work-in-progress showings, with close support.
Artists and producing companies are invited to submit projects with innovative ideas combining music and drama, which they would like the opportunity to develop through Various Stages. Entrants should be keen to take bold creative risks and push the boundaries of style and form, and have an existing relationship with a venue, promoter or production house which could endorse and support the project. In January, selected ideas will be workshopped with a range of different artists. This will culminate in a two-day Various Stages Festival in February 2017, featuring showcases, critical feedback sessions and networking opportunities. National and international venues, promoters, artists and producers will be in attendance, and some events are open to the public.
Full information from the Mahogany Opera website. The deadline for submission is 29 July 2016.
