Off-Leash Area announces an artist call for proposals for the second Off-Kilter Cabaret: Inside Outside Inside-Out.
Off-Leash Area’s Off-Kilter community program highlights and supports artists with disabilities creating original performance work. The second Off-Kilter Cabaret is an evening length cabaret-style production, comprised of 5 to 7 acts in any performing arts form, curated by the Off-Kilter Leadership Team, who are leaders in the disability community, and two thirds of whom are themselves persons with disabilities.
Performances will be held November 17-19 at the TEK Box at the Cowles Center for Performing Arts in downtown Minneapolis, a fully accessible black box theater with a floor-level stage, and the event will include accessibility accommodations including ASL interpreting, captioning and audio description.
The CFP opens June 1. Artists with disabilities are asked to submit proposals for a 5-to-10-minute original performance on the theme of Inside Outside Inside-Out by the deadline of July 14.
Off-Leash Area co-artistic director Jennifer Ilse says, “We want to prompt artists to propose risky, rebellious, and thought provoking performances, informed by their own experience of being included or excluded, feeling within or outside of oneself, or even just discombobulated.”
The Off-Kilter Advisory Team are: writer and storyteller Amy Salloway, arts accessibility consultant Jon Skaalen, national touring musician Gabriel Rodreick, and Sam Jasmine, host of the Disability and Progress program on KFAI.Off-Leash Area is excited to be partnering again with Young Dance, whose mission is transforming lives through movement.
