Calling artists and companies with a connection to Europe and something to say! Join us for our 10th anniversary festival!
We want to read your proposals for shows to take place live on stage at The Cockpit, our 200-seat venue in Marylebone, London. We want to see your performance videos, ready to be introduced to wider audiences at our online Watch Party events. We want to hear your ideas for new and innovative digital theatre.
Voila! Europe is a multilingual theatre festival produced by The Cockpit. Celebrating our 10th anniversary in 2022, our curated programme of cross-cultural, cross-disciplinary performance connects independent artists and adventurous audiences.
HOW TO APPLY
Please download and read the application pack:
https://www.thecockpit.org.uk/voila_europe_2022_applicationsNew this year, we are using a two-step application process, in order to reduce the amount of unpaid time artists spend applying for the festival. The first step is a short list of questions to give us a basic idea of you and your project. This application form is due by 11:59pm on 11 April, 2022.
We want to make it as easy as possible for artists to connect with us. You can choose to fill in the application form in writing, or make a video or audio recording (no longer than 5 minutes) answering the same questions.
Whichever you choose, you’ll need to:
1. fill in at least the cover page of the google form
2. select the option to continue filling in the form OR provide the link to a video or audio recording.
We recommend preparing your answers in a separate document; you will not be able to save your work and return to the form later.
Once you submit the form, you will receive an email from Google with a copy of your answers. You will not receive an additional confirmation from the festival.
We will contact all applicants by 6 May 2022. If your Step 1 application is successful, we will invite you to submit the Step 2 application form by 20 May. In this step, we will ask for more detailed information about your show. Final programming decisions will be made in mid-June 2022.
