Brevity is the soul of wit: TPM’s 5 Minute Pitch Blitz!
Passe Muraille would like to invite artists of all disciplines and backgrounds to come and make a pitch to Artistic Director Andy McKim.
Releasing the bounds of a formal audition, The Pitch Blitz is an opportunity for artists to introduce themselves to Andy McKim, Artistic Director, in whatever way best represents them. The Pitch Sessions give artists five minutes to showcase themselves or present their project.
Pitch an idea, pitch a show, pitch yourself! We’re on the lookout for exciting new artists to work with and remarkable artistic projects to facilitate. Spend five minutes showcasing who you are, what you’ve done in the past, and what your ideas are for the future. This is an opportunity to talk about what it is that brings you to us, and to show us what you might want to bring to TPM.
At Passe Muraille, we’re committed to enhancing meaningful interactions between our communities, and extending the development life of projects developed both inside and outside our walls. We have a special interest in independent, emerging, collaborative and multidisciplinary artists, and seek out all whose voices are marginalized. Our vision is of a theatre space that functions as an arts centre and a town square in one.
Welcoming actors, directors, writers, musicians, technicians, administrators, dancers, producers, visual artists, and anyone who blurs the boundaries between these roles. Anything goes. Think of it like a chance to spark a meaningful relationship with one of Toronto’s oldest new work development theatres.
A Pitch date will be posted here and on Work In Culture at least three times a year and then we will consider all applications that we have received by that deadline. Due to the high volume of submissions, we are not able to see everyone so we have a three way system for getting access to the Pitch Blitz. First we will make offers to some people, then we will send an email to all applicants and accept the first group of people to reply and lastly we will accept a set number of people who are first to come to an announced “crash” time. We will not keep applications on file so for those who are unsuccessful at getting a spot we heartily welcome you to reapply for the next round. We will be doing this a minimum of three times per season. The next Pitch Blitz is
BUZZ is a tri-annual work-in-progress festival. Fifteen to thirty minutes of a play or project in development or full length pieces in development are staged in front of an audience with the intention of involving the audience. Each artist or group of artists pose written questions to the audience who then, in turn, write answers to those given questions about each piece. Playwrights and creators learn about their piece from an outside perspective, therefore plays develop with an audience, rather than in isolation. Most presenters at BUZZ are curated by the theatre or solicited from Pitch Sessions.
Theatre Passe Muraille’s Theatre Creator’s Reserve Fund Recommender Program
The Creator’s Reserve Fund is a program for individuals with the purpose of assisting theatre creators to develop new work. Through the Ontario Arts Council, the program assists Ontario-based professional theatre creators, and informal collectives of creators, by funding them to create work. This is a third-party recommender program, meaning, applications are made to and funding decisions are made by, Theatre Passe Muraille.
Special priorities are given to: collaborative creation projects, emerging artists, multidisciplinary theatre creators. We welcome other submissions.
For your application, please consider including any information, documentation or media that would provide us with the appropriate understanding of your project.
Applicants may request up to $2,500, but we tend to grant smaller sums to more than one group.
You can find the OAC program guidelines and the necessary OAC application forms on the following OAC web site.
