OUTBURST QUEER ARTS FESTIVAL
Nov. 14th-22nd 2014 SUBMISSION DETAILS
Thanks for your interest in Outburst. We are open for business. Show business. Over the last eight years, OUTBURST has grown from a small community event to a dynamic celebration of local and international queer Arts, culture, visibility and ideas. OUTBURST aims to entertain and inspire a diverse audience, while raising awareness of LGBTQ stories and issues in Northern Ireland through performance, screenings, talks, workshops, visual art and much more. It’s probably a little bit on the more fabulous side of how that sounds. As a curated festival that loves sharing new ideas and new ways of telling our stories, we are as passionate about facilitating a creative space for developing queer voices as we are about bringing you brilliant professional and international touring work. We are particularly excited about work that says something new or explores new or previously unexplored territory for queer audiences. OUTBURST is a festival for everyone. And we can’t wait to hear your ideas.
WHAT WE PROGRAMME OUTBURST programmes work that fits one or more of the following criteria: 1. Has a lesbian, gay, bi, trans or queer theme 2. Is by an LGBT or queer identified writer/producer/performer 3. Is of particular interest to people who are LGBTQ. To keep the festival fresh for audiences, we give priority to artists and work that haven’t be seen in Northern Ireland before and that will not be available to see or experience elsewhere here throughout the year. Please let us know if you have plans for other Irish dates this year.
