Aansoeke open op Woensdag 16 Augustus en sluit Vrydag 22 September om 12:00. Bevestiging van ontvangs sal jou binne 7 dae nadat aansoeke ingedien is, bereik. Indien jy na 7 dae niks van ons hoor nie, doen asb. navraag by Faren.Esau@media24.com. Aansoekers sal op Vrydag 20 Oktober in kennis gestel word of aansoeke suksesvol was.

Die Suidoosterfees het beperkte tradisionele teaterspasies. Kunstenaars wat klein plekspesifieke opskietproduksies wil aanbied in ruimtes in en om Artscape, is welkom om voorstelle te maak.
Produksies met omvangryke tegniese behoeftes word aangemoedig om vir die Operahuis, Teater of Arena aansoek te doen.
Die Suidoosterfees se program word soos volg saamgestel:
Bestaande werk – Produksies wat feesgereed is
Nuwe werk – Debuutproduksies
Ontwikkelingsinisiatiewe – Projekte met ’n sterk fokus op ontwikkeling, asook geleenthede vir gevestigde en opkomende kunstenaars om saam te werk
Opskietproduksies – Kort, eksperimentele werke wat in enige spasie kan plaasvind
Visuele kunsuitstalling – binne die ruimtebeperkinge
Jeugteater – Produksies van studente en pas afgestudeerde kunstenaars
’n Onafhanklike paneel sal aansoeke evalueer. Ongelukkig is daar bepaalde uitdagings wat in ag geneem moet word en kan net ’n sekere aantal produksies op die program ingesluit word. Dit is geensins ’n refleksie op produksies wat nie gekeur word nie.
Die uitdagings sluit in:
Beperkte aantal venues
Begroting
Tegniese behoeftes
Balans in die feesprogam

Suidoosterfees has limited traditional theatre spaces. Artists who would like to stage small site-specific pop-up shows in and around Artscape, are welcome to make suggestions.
Productions with extensive technical requirements are encouraged to apply for the Opera House, Theatre or Arena.
The Suidoosterfees programme includes the following:
Existing work – Productions ready to be staged at the festival
New work – Debut productions
Development initiatives – Projects with a primary focus on development, as well as events where established and emerging artists can collaborate
Pop-up shows – Short, experimental works that can be staged anywhere
Visual art exhibition – in spaces available
Youth theatre – Productions of students or recently graduated artists
Applications will be evaluated by an independent panel. Unfortunately, certain constraints must be kept in consideration and only a specific number of productions can be included on the programme. If applications are unsuccessful, it is in no way a reflection on the quality of the production.
Challenges and constraints include:
Limited number of venues
Budget
Technical requirements
A balanced festival programme

Fee production: Suidoosterfees offers a fee for the production.
Box office production: The production earns 100% of ticket sales.
Every little bit helps: The festival provides seed money to the production and the production earns income from ticket sales.
