\u00ab\u00a0Outside the March<\/a><\/strong> is thrilled to launch the second incarnation of our Forward March new work commissioning stream, THE TD FORWARD MARCH PROGRAM. <\/strong>With the support of TD Bank Group we\u2019re seeking submissions from playwrights and creators across the country who want to develop original immersive theatrical experiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artistic Director Mitchell Cushman describes the TD FORWARD MARCH PROGRAM <\/strong>as \u201cthe incubator of OtM\u2019s future creative identity.\u201d \u201cAs the world grapples with the uncertainty and precarity of the global pandemic, the need for human connection and communal experiences has never been greater,\u201d he says. \u201cDuring this time of crisis, and with the support of our partners at TD, OtM is committed to developing the next generation of immersive theatre artists and projects \u2013 so that when audiences are ready to congregate again, we will be there to entertain, challenge and immerse them.\u201d   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building on the success of our 2016 Forward March program, we\u2019ll fund the development of a slate of new projects over our \u201820\/\u201921 season and beyond. We\u2019re enthusiastically seeking to support artists who identify within marginalized communities (ethnicity, cultural background, orientation, gender, class, and\/or abilities) to immerse our audiences in a richer diversity of immersive experiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re seeking submissions from playwrights and creators who are passionately curious about immersive experiences. We strive to create memorable and communal work for all kinds of audiences, including those who may not normally find themselves at the theatre. In the projects we support, we\u2019re working to prioritize and emphasize marginalized voices across the full spectrum of diversity (ethnicity, cultural background, orientation, gender, class, and\/or abilities). With that in mind, we are strongly considering submissions from artists who self-identify within marginalized communities and new generation artists (under 30) and are eager to work with you to realize your imagination and project in full colour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though we\u2019re interested in text-based projects, we\u2019re also deeply curious about applicants from interdisciplinary forms: do you have a knack for puppetry? A background in dance? Did you run away to the circus? We\u2019d love to hear from you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Importantly, we\u2019re seeking projects at an early stage of development. That means you\u2019ve advanced beyond the purely conceptual phase and have some (can be very basic) tangible work to show (some pages written, storyboard sketches, etc.). We\u2019re interested in supporting new projects and artists who, either because of who you are or the nature of the project, haven\u2019t yet found a home for your piece. If the project\u2014not you, your project\u2014has already received a bunch of workshops and grants, or is being programmed on a major stage next season, it\u2019s probably too far along in its development for this call.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n
