This is a call for performers with charisma, flourish, sea legs and
and inner loud mouth bass. Not flounder. This is the first curated

integrated within the Performance Creation Canada closing night party
on June 15 on the Ottawa River.
The pieces must not be more than 4 minutes long and without technical
support. We will accept just you. Submissions for big and gorgeous
movement, dance and physical pieces as well as shouty loud roaring
pieces are recommended.
Please contact the curators to set up a short interview:
