The 7th International Children and Youth Theater Festival in the city of Ordu will be held on 30 May 30 - 5 June, 2011 with the collaboration of the Ordu Municipality and TOBAV. The organisation welcomes proposals for plays.

TOBAV (Turkish Theatre Opera and Ballet Members Foundation), with the purpose of spreading theater, opera and ballet culture, organizes festivals, workshops, and seminars by adopting the motto YES TO ART. One of the basic aims of their festivals, is to strengthen the knowledge and experimental cooperation among the young people who have different social and cultural point of views. Thus, they believe in improving the philosophy of art as a life style.

Ordu has opened its cultural centers and the stage of its local theater OBKT as well as its streets, parks, and marketplace to theatrical activities. It is a city full of people sensitive to theatre and art. They believe that the art of theater abolishes the international borders and creates positive interpersonal relationships. In this context, they would like to see various examples such as street performances and shows in alternative locations, which are as less verbal as they can be.

If you are intended to participate in the festival, enclose a copy on a VCD/DVD, visuals (brochures and pictures) of your plays. The plays will be evaluated by an independent board of jurors working with TOBAV.

The total number of the members of the participating groups (including the technical staff) is limited to maximum 15. The accommodation, food, and travel expenses within Turkey will be covered by the festival committee. However, the participating groups will have to cover their own flight /export expenses.

The deadline for the applications is March 1, 2011.

Please send you proposal to: tobav@tobavnet.org
