AUDITIONS / INTERVIEWS for 11Reflections: San Antonio

AUDITIONS & INTERVIEWS 

September 8-9, 2021

12 noon - 8pm Central (1pm-9pm Eastern), by appointment

Award-winning Lebanese American poet, theatre director, and cultural organizer Andrea Assaf will select 11 artist and community collaborators for the upcoming November production of 11Reflections: San Antonio at The Carver Community Cultural Center. Will YOU be one of them?

11Reflections: San Antonio is envisioned as a  large-scale, city-specific, devised creation, scheduled to open at The  Carver on November 20, 2021. It builds on, and will evolve from, Andrea  Assaf's previous work, Eleven Reflections on September, a poetry and multi-media performance on Middle Eastern American  experience in the post-9/11 era. But this time, San Antonio voices--YOUR VOICES--will be at the center. This project is part Art2Action's new  initiative, Eleven Reflections on the Nation, reflecting on the 20th anniversary of the tragedy of 9/11, and the wars and policies that followed. (Supported, in part, by the Doris Duke Foundation for  Islamic Art, Building Bridges program) Visit our blog to read the full  Call for San Antonio Artists & MENA Community Collaborators!

This opportunity is open to all artists, creatives, and community members who have a story to share. This may include actors, poets, movers, performers, musicians, designers, video/multimedia artists, or any creative person who wants to collaborate on an interdisciplinary, devised theatre project. This may also include community members who don't identify as artists, but who have a post-9/11 story to share, and want their voices to be heard.

2) Once we receive your registration, we'll contact you to schedule a 30-minute interview or audition, September 8-9, between the hours of 12 noon - 8pm Central (1pm-9pm Eastern).
