Without Walls (WOW) offers site-specific, interactive, and immersive projects that transform the familiar into the extraordinary, sparking imagination and wowing audiences of all ages. These bold experiences ignite cross-disciplinary partnerships that help expand and diversify the field making San Diego a destination for this groundbreaking work.

With innovation at its core, WOW celebrates vibrant connections with fearless and fun activations that electrify our creative city. Click here for video footage from previous festivals.
Artists of all ethnicities and artists with disabilities are encouraged to submit.
As we cannot guarantee the resources and time to develop or playtest new projects, we are primarily looking for experiences that have been previously presented or workshopped.
The WOW Festival is a free event, and artists will have access to mostly outdoor spaces and some indoor spaces. Traditional theatre spaces will likely not be available. Artists/Companies will be paid a fee, receive festival infrastructure support and other resources if presented at the annual WOW Festival.

PRAGUE
Call For Presentations/Workshops
Zip-Scene Conference
Registration Fee: 100 EUR (physical attendance)
Conference Dates: 17–19 October, 2024
Submission deadline: July 1, 2024
LINK
The Zip-Scene Conference takes XR/extended reality (VR/AR/MR) and Metaverse-related works seriously and treats them on equal footing to film and performing arts, and wishes to expand its scientific treatment and reflection. On this basis, we are inviting papers that address narrative experiences enabled by digital platforms, especially online and XR or related to the Metaverse. We are also looking for IDN practices and prototypes from medical and mental healthcare practices that could offer new approaches on how storytelling can be embedded in scientific practices.
Proposals may be for a paper/panel and should be related to at least one of the conference themes.
