Submission 05: Girls Gone Wilde

 

Idea:

Girls Gone Wilde by Urban Curvz

Summary:

Girls Gone Wilde Late Night Cabaret is a tongue in cheek evening of performances created by female artists or with a strong female perspective.

The Project:

Girls Gone Wilde is awesome because:

• We will involve over 30 artists, a huge cross section of the emerging talent in Calgary, in a supportive environment to create, develop, and perform new work. 
• The process includes dramaturgical support, production support, and mentorship by professional artists.
• It’s a fun night of theatre to see- it’s like going to a tapas restaurant where the dishes tantalize your palate, leaving you wanting more!
• Urban Curvz is Calgary’s professional feminist theatre company whose work reflects the wit and intelligence of women to counteract the underrepresentation of females in popular culture, and we’re extending this year’s Cabaret to two weekends because last year’s sold out!

 

How the $1,000 will be spent:

• Lunchbox Theatre and rehearsal space.
