EarthQuake/Terremoto: 
temblores desde el corazón de la naturaleza
 
El colectivo Same Boat solicita obras cortas y piezas teatrales para EarthQuake/Terremoto: temblores desde el corazón de la naturaleza, un festival internacional via Zoom, de obras en pro de la justicia ambiental. Buscamos obras de teatro que generen consciencia de la manera en que los asuntos ambientales específicos afectan las vidas y las comunidades de las personas menos privilegiadas y poco representadas. El festival busca producir obras que den oportunidad a que se escuchen una diversidad de voces Latinas y de Latinoamérica, con énfasis en artistas poco privilegiados y subrepresentados. Same Boat se encargará de formar los elencos y dirigir las presentaciones.
 
BUSCAMOS: Libretos de 15-20 minutos de duración, así como piezas cortas (canciones, monólogos, obras sin palabras, títeres, etc.) que puedan ser representadas en vivo vía Zoom y que den una respuesta ponderada y atractiva a una (o más) de las siguientes preguntas:
  1. Si la naturaleza forma parte integral de la identidad cultural de [algún grupo al que pertenezcas], ¿de qué manera la destrucción o alteración de la naturaleza afecta dicha identidad o su capacidad para prosperar.
  2. ¿A qué obstáculos se enfrenta tu comunidad en la preservación de maneras ancestrales y sostenibles de convivir con la naturaleza? ¿Cómo se vería una solución latinoamericana?
  3. Elige uno de los siguientes elementos: Fuego, Aire, Tierra, Agua, Tecnología o Basura.
    1. ¿De qué manera ese elemento da vida a tu mundo? (Por ejemplo, ¿de qué manera el agua es fuente de vida para tu ciudad/comunidad?)
    2. ¿De qué manera puede ese elemento destruir tu mundo?
 
ESPECIFICACIONES:
  • Un máximo de cuatro intérpretes por obra.
  • Las funciones se presentarán en vivo; sin embargo, consideraremos la posibilidad de presentar una pieza grabada dentro del programa. Si cuentas con una pieza grabada que quisieras que consideremos, favor de enviarnos el video de la misma.

EarthQuake: Moving Latin America with Our Voices
A Global Zoom Festival
 
Same Boat Theater Collective is soliciting short plays and theatrical pieces for EarthQuake: Moving Latin America with our Voices, a global Zoom festival of performances to further the cause of environmental justice. We are looking for theater pieces that raise the awareness of how specific environmental issues affect the lives and communities of the underrepresented and underprivileged among us. The festival intends to produce work that gives an opportunity for a diversity of Latin American and Latinx voices to be heard, with an emphasis on underrepresented and underprivileged artists. Same Boat will cast and direct the zoom performances.
 
Submissions: 15-20 minute scripts, and 2-5 minute songs, monologues and other theatrical works (movement, puppetry, etc.) that can be performed live on Zoom and give thoughtful, engaging responses to one (or more) of the following questions
                  1. If nature is integral to the cultural identity of [a group you identify with, e.g., African 
                  Brazillian], how has the destruction or altering of nature affected the people’s identity or ability to thrive?
 
                  2.What obstacles does your community face in preserving ancestral, sustainable ways of living within nature?
                  What does a Latin American Solution look like?
 
                  3. Consider an element: Fire, Air, Earth, Water, Tech or Waste
                  -How does one of these elements give life to your world? (For example, how is water a
                   stream of life in your city/community?)
                  -How can one of these elements destroy - your world?

  • While we are looking for work that can be performed live, we will consider presenting video pieces in our livestream productions, such as movement and puppet pieces. For this category, please provide a fully produced video for us to consider.
  • If the work is a collaboration, please ensure the names of all participants appear on the manuscript.
  • At the front of the script, please include a cast breakdown with pertinent details about the characters.
