Got any BITS to share?

The BITS festival is an open access, non-curated weekend event held in Brisbane from November 26-28 for independent theatre makers to showcase their work.

BITS is calling proactive artists to present bits of their work, which could take the form of a completed performance, extract or scene from a past or future planned production, work in progress, workshop, demonstration, exploration of an idea in public, or simply a discussion of an idea.  BITS welcomes any type of act including, but not limited to, traditional theatre, song, dance, circus, burlesque, cabaret and improvisation works.

There is no selection process for BITS. Acts will be assigned a time slot at one of our amazing venues.  Participants will have information about their acts featured in BITS advertising and programme literature.

NEW TO BITS THIS YEAR – QUICK BITS 48 HOUR CHALLENGE!

Participants in QUICK BITS 48 HOUR CHALLENGE will be given a stimulus and asked to formulate a piece within 48 hours.  Acts will be presented prior to the BITS wrap party to be held at Tribal theatre.
We want you to show us your best bits at BITS festival 2010. For more information on BITS Festival please visit www.bitsfestival.com
