Ignite Festival – A global street food and cultural festival – with fire!
We seek proposals for internationally-themed performances and light installations/performances.
The mission of Ignite is to showcase the depth and breadth of local talent through a global lens. Artists/designers may choose to work alone or collaboratively. Keep in mind, since this is an evening festival, any lighting effects should be strong enough to be visible for the duration of the event. Group performances need to be low tech. Stipends will be determined based on the application budget. Proposals could include, but are not limited to:
Cultural performances: Artists whose work aligns with the global theme of Ignite. Past programming has included- Taiko drumming, Indian classical dance, Capoeira, bhangra dancing, Mexican Folkloric ballet, traditional Chinese Lion Dances, and more.
Roaming performers: For example: Belly Dancers, jugglers, hula-hoopers, performance artists, magicians, puppeteers, etc.
Light installations/performances: Roaming performing artists that specialize in light-themed work (past example: LED hula-hoop troupe, whimsical puppet showcase, and illuminated dancers), performances related to and/or incorporate light in their piece (example: illuminated dragon dance), or light or Ignite-themed site -specific installations such as video projections, luminaries, interactive light-themed activities, sculptures, etc.
Ignite this year will be Saturday, September 28th. (RD: 09/29)
