WYSIWYG 2006

WYSIWYG, Scotland's Annual Showcase of Performing Arts for Children and Young People organised by Imaginate, runs from Wednesday 27th September to Thursday 28 September 2006 at the Byre Theatre, St Andrews, and features theatre, dance, puppetry, music, storytelling and participatory events

Proposals are currently being invited from performing companies who would like to showcase at WYSIWYG 2006. Work in progress, performed readings and participatory events (eg. educational workshops) presented in the appropriate context, as well as performances in their finished state will be considered.

WYSIWYG is the key meeting place for all those involved in the performing arts sector for children and young people. Delegates at WYSIWYG include performers, directors, venue and festival programmers, cultural co-ordinators, education officers, arts policy makers and funders. Previous delegates have found it an invaluable way to view the range of work available, book shows, meet colleagues, discuss work and generate new strategies for the future.

WYSIWYG aims to provide a balanced programme in terms of art form, age range, and new and established companies. There is a limited number of performance slots. The selection criteria will be based on:

• New or revised work
• Work specifically created for children and young people
• The performance has not been showcased at WYSIWYG for the last three years
• The company is known to the Selection panel*
• The company is Scottish based

* If you/your company is not known to Imaginate or the selection panel, a member of the selection panel/Imaginate staff will be in touch following your proposal submission to chat about you/your company and your work.

To apply to perform at WYSIWYG please send in your proposal on no more than two sides of A4, describing the performance/event. Please include details such as duration of performance, target age range, contact details, get in and out times, and fee. It would be useful if
you could also send supporting material such as promotional material (flyers, cd-rom, programmes). The deadline for proposals is Tuesday 28 March 2006. The Selection panel will meet mid-April 2006.
