Describe What You Want to Do
Description of your show/event/workshop. This is internal, not on the website – it’s for our planning and trying to figure out together what we need to do to get the show on the road with you!
Duration of Event
Which Days Are You Available to Do the Event?
Oct. 1
Oct. 2
Oct. 3
Oct. 4
I can do all days.
We can allocate based on availability, not preference, so please be honest. And keep the dates free! If there are changes, let us know as early as possible because it makes scheduling really difficult!
What Kind of Location Do You Have in Mind?
We are able to “book” squats and non-squats, with different opportunities for staging and size. But we want some shows/workshops to be in public spaces, streets or parks, and some in more risky locations. Think banks, supermarkets, shopping malls, restaurants. This does not necessarily have to align with the content of your performance. It’s important to know because for riskier locations, we will be in touch with you providing legal support and support on the ground, etc. Contact us for questions, and feel encouraged to experiment with ideas.
Is the Time of Day Relevant for the Event?
Some things need the wolves of the night, some things need the shop goers of the day! But we might need to be flexible here, and make wolves stay out at uncommon times!
What Are Your Technical Requirements?
We will do our best to accommodate, but our capacities are limited, and it depends on location. If you have technical objects and capabilities to lend to the festival, please let us know in the form here, or reach out via mail.
What Tech Do You Have For Yourself?
What Kind of Tech Do You Have to Share?
Do You Have a Performance/Workshop Location to Offer?
Please describe it as accurately as possible. Space, Light, Technical Capabilities (please be very specific on that one. E.g. if there is a mixer, say what kind of mixer, so we really know what is possible). Also, specify when and if rehearsals are possible in the location beforehand. Also: We do NOT rent locations. If you have a location in mind that is not yours but you have a good contact there, please reach out to your contact first.

Are there any content warnings of any kind that you wish to include? We do not create content warnings ourselves – it’s your choice.
