CBT’s PLAY CREATION UNIT
SUMMER EDITION

An invitation to all writers to play with and explore the written word.

At CBT, we’re dedicated to encouraging and developing the voice of the Filipino-Canadian on-stage and in our community. One of the continuing programs we offer to support these efforts is our annual Play Creation Unit.

The CBT Play Creation Unit is a novice play creation program that introduces participants to various approaches to making theatre.  Through bi-weekly sessions led by professional theatre artist Marie Beath Badian, we help participants identify, cultivate and explore their creative voice.

With a focus on process, each member will create a 5-10 minute piece of theatre. Individual works may be presented in CBT’s annual showcase of new work: Tales from the Flipside that will be part of this year’s KULTURA Festival organized by the good people at the Kapisanan Philippine Centre for Arts and Culture.

So come on, get those words, those ideas out of the shadowy corners of your mind, off your notebook and blog pages and see how you can bring them to theatrical life.

Submission Guidelines:
Please send us a letter of interest outlining why you would like to be part of the program, including an idea you would like to develop into a piece of theatre.

The Play Creation Unit begins meeting Sunday June 2, 2013 and runs bi-weekly for six sessions until August 2013.

The deadline for submissions is May 26, 2013. Space is limited.

Submissions can be sent by email to: info@carlosbulosan.com

CBT’s been going through an extended period of transition but we’ve been working hard behind the scenes and we’re preparing to come back better than ever. This very temporary site was just put up to let you know we’re still alive and kicking and if you need to get in contact with us you can e-mail: info@carlosbulosan.com or visit our facebook page.
