Showcasing the best independent theatre from Ottawa and across the country, undercurrents invites submissions from Ottawa-based and national companies. The festival will consider applications from established and emerging artists who are working in new play creation, as well as from those touring previously produced original work. We encourage submissions from artists experimenting in form, style, and creation process.
We are also seeking submissions from artists who have have short pieces (under 30 minutes), works-in-progress, or live art/installation pieces.
Applications are accepted any time of year, but artists wishing to be considered for 2020 must submit their information on or before July 7, 2019. Applications received after this date will be considered for 2021.

- Biographies/CVs of lead artists
- Detailed technical specifications for the production
