FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

The Houston Fringe Festival Announces Call for Submissions!
10th Annual Festival to be presented at MATCH, September 6 – 10.

FrenetiCore, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization with the mission to transform and empower communities through innovative dance, theater, and visual art, is excited to announce a call for submissions to the 2017 Houston Fringe Festival. Celebrating its tenth year, the Houston Fringe Festival will be presented at the Midtown Arts & Theater Center Houston, 3400 Main Street. The five-day festival of indie and fringe performing arts will be held from September 6 – 10.

Interested artists can apply at the following link: http://houstonfringefestival.org/apply/. Works should be at least thirty minutes to one hour.

The Houston Fringe Festival welcomes performing artists in all disciplines, including dance, theater, music, film, and interdisciplinary art. Selected participants will have the option of performing in either Matchbox One or Matchbox Two. Performers of the past few years include Cirque La Vie, Perpetual Motion Dance (OK), ANIKAI Dance Theater (MA), Cameryn Moore (OR), Hideout Theatre (Austin), Lori Yuill, jhon r. stronks, and Emotions Physical Theatre (NY).

The Houston Fringe Festival will be curated by FrenetiCore’s Executive/Artistic Director Adam Castaneda and festival Associate Director Kimberly Stoilis. “This year, given our exciting new location, we’re on the lookout for works that are Houston premieres and really blur the edges between the performing arts disciplines,” says Castaneda. “Individual artists and groups alike who have a zany or wild idea that might not be produced elsewhere should apply.”
