CASTING
TORONTO
Three Roles — New Original Work
Outside the March and Factory Theatre
Compensation & Benefits: unlisted
Workshop Dates: May 9th — 29th
Rehearsals: June 27th — July 28th
Run: July 29th — August 21st
Submission Deadline: Friday, March 4th @ 11:59pm EST
Outside the March and Factory Theatre are excited to welcome audition submissions for three principal roles in the World Premiere of an original, immersive Canadian play — opening in early August 2022.
The play, soon-to-be-announced, is a large-scope, ensemble comedic drama, written by Gillian Clark, directed by Mitchell Cushman, and in collaboration with Associate Director Frances Koncan and Dramaturge Jeff Ho. The play unfolds in multiple performance locations at the same time, and each cast member portrays multiple generations of the same family, in an exploration of the theme of “inheritance”.
We enthusiastically welcome submissions from artists that identify with IBPOC communities (Indigenous, Black, and/or Persons of Colour) and equity-seeking groups (on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, class, cultural background, ability, and any other intersectional identities). The production itself will take place in Tkaronto, the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat Peoples, as well as many other recorded and unrecorded nations.

Call for Works: Mentoring Exhibition
Electronic Literature Organization
Exhibition Dates: June 2022
Formats considered: interactive fiction, poetry generators, hypertext, Third Generation E-Lit (including works on Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok), VR/AR/XR, et cetera.
Submission requires ELO Membership, minimum $25
Deadline: March 15
The making of electronic literature is an artisanal practice, born of community practices of sharing. While some artists find their own way into the rabbit holes of e-lit, most follow a guide or teacher, learning as a sorcerer’s apprentice. Whether this happens in a formal setting, like a classroom, or in an informal context, like a rainy day passtime for a family, the time spent sharing the forms and tools of electronic literature as well as techniques for making e-lit is crucial to bring new artists into the field and new works into being. In that way, the process is very much like teaching other forms of craft, like sewing, or even cooking, which has in turn inspired e-lit, such as the field of gastropoetics.
For this exhibition, we seek works that have emerged out of such tutelage and collaboration, where a mentor, teacher, or parent has introduced one or more new artists to the field by making a work of electronic literature with them.
Works will be exhibited in an online exhibition as part of the ELO 2022 hybrid conference. We will also plan an online launch either during or before the conference.
