Open Call

Anyone is part of BANGS.
The open call is really open to all and open until July 31st.

If you want to propose something for the program, please complete the form below. Even if it’s an unfinished idea or a budding fantasy, don’t hesitate to go for it and write what you can. It’s just good for us to have an idea of what you want to do so that we can think together about how to facilitate it.

Is July too early to come up with an idea? Don’t worry. Later, you will still be able to add last minute events to the BANGS calendar once it’s out!
This is an autonomous festival: initiate a bang whenever you want.

The difference with events coming in later than July is that we need you to take on more of an autonomous organisation, since we (probably) won’t be able to help with any practicalities, or at least not as much (finding a location, for instance). Of course, we are happy to share it around and connect you to other people if needed! It will be presented on the website just the same!

Want to volunteer in a different way (help facilitate the festival, help out with bar shifts, etc.)? Awesome! –> Send us an e-mail with your Signal number. We respond within a couple days – make sure to check your spam folder.

any kind of name, if you do not want it displayed on the event – just write this here
Description of your show/event/workshop. This is what people will see on the website.
We like to add everyone from the festival to a single group chat for coordination.
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!
Read again: When you are NOT available. That way we can allocate based on availability, not preference.
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.
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.
Are there any content warnings of any kind that you wish to include? We do not create content warnings ourselves – it’s your choice.
How would you categorise this show? More tags? Write it in the comments.

This is for you to decide. We do not police this.
If you don’t have any of this, this is fine!
Other things we should know. Clarifications, uncertainties, etc.
