Street Arts Festival and Competition in Korea May 3-5
Posted February 27, 2008
Note: It would require a big investment to participate, as the
fest doesn't pay travel expenses, but the prize money is large, and
how often do you get invited to perform in Korea? Posted as
received.
I'm Michelle Oh, program manager for ANSAN STREET ARTS FESTIVAL (ASAF)
of Republic of Korea.
ASAF has the history of only 4 years but it is not only the most
beloved event in the region but also one of the fastest growing
festivals in the country. The city of Ansan is 30km from Seoul, with
about 700,000 populations. All the performances will be held in the
field of street and open-air theatre. The festival aims at developing
street arts in Korea, promoting cultural exchange between countries,
and relating to the audiences.
ASAFRINGE is a name of the international competitive section of ANSAN
STREET ARTS FESTIVAL which will be held in Ansan, Korea from 3rd~5th
May, 2008. The prizes for the 1st and 2nd winners will get 10,000USD
and 5,000USD. So artists must cover their own travel cost as well as
freight. The festival only can provides hotel, meals (or per diem),
technical rider, domestic transportation and under 1,000USD financial
support per each team.
We're programming this year's program at the moment and finding some
interesting performers. I think it'll be a good opportunity for the
artists. It is very first steps of street performing arts in Korea, we
really need your help. Please spread the ASAF and ASAFRINGE news
through bulletin board and e-newsletter in your site. Anybody you want
to recommend us, please do so.
