Call for Sumbissions: Voila! Europe Festival, 6-18 Nov 2018 (London, UK)

Deadline: 10 May 2018

Voila! Europe is an annual theatre rendez-vous in London, bringing together British and European theatre makers. Our curated programme is a border-busting mix of multicultural, multilingual, and multidisciplinary performance. Now, we want to hear your ideas for the November 2018 festival.

The Festival is a place for artists to take risks. We support individuals and companies to make a daring leap: presenting a new piece of work, touring to a new audience, or translating a play into a new language. Our previous programmes have included European creative collaborations, bilingual comedies, new writing, adaptations, devised theatre, solo performance, puppetry, clowning, circus, dance, music, stand-up, family shows, and more.

Join us for the 6th Voila! Europe Theatre Festival in venues across the capital. The Cockpit, Etcetera Theatre, and Applecart Arts offer 2-6 night runs, and there are opportunities to develop a brand new piece in residency at the festival. In addition to our three performance spaces, our new festival hub will host events for artists and audiences where everyone is welcome to be part of the Voila! Europe community.

WHAT DOES THE FESTIVAL PROVIDE?
Marketing:
- The festival will include your show image and information in our brochure, on the website, and in our social media marketing.
- We will arrange a photoshoot for companies in London, if your show needs an additional professional marketing image (you will need to provide at least one to begin with).
- We will support any social media activity you initiate to promote your show. When you tweet, we retweet to all our supporters. If you send email flyers, we will reuse them wherever we can.
- Although we can’t promise, we will arrange interviews and press releases about you and your show if we can. The more marketing materials you are able to provide us with, the more we are able to help.
- Although we cannot produce printed flyers or posters for individual companies, we will supply branding and Voila! Europe festival logos for you to use on all your publicity.

Box Office: We will provide box office services to sell tickets to your show online in advance (£10) and on the door (£12). Artists will keep 50% of the net box office receipts; please see more details of the box office split on the Venues Page.

Technical Support: The venues will provide a technician to run one tech rehearsal and all performances of each show.

Events: We will create opportunities for you to connect with the other artists performing at the festival, as well as members of the theatre industry and audiences. These events will include a festival meet & greet, satellite events such as talks and workshops, and a festival party.

Festival Pass: all participating cast and creative team members will have the chance to see the other performances in all venues across the festival.

Apply by 10 May 2018. Please read the FAQs and venue details before applying: www.voilaeuropefestival.com
