Roel Verniers Prize 2017
Are you a beginning artist full of inspiration?
Do you have a plan, idea or concept that you wish to fulfill?
This is your chance to take the first step towards the realization of your project.
The TheaterFestival and social office for artists, t-heater, support young talents in the performing arts.
That’s why we are looking for fresh concepts of beginning and graduated artists from various backgrounds: theatre, dance, slam, performance, writing… Everything is possible!
The best concept for a show, performance, text… wins the Roel Verniers Prize 2017.
The prize consists of:
- a coproduction prize of 6.000 euro
- the invitation to show the realization of the concept on the next edition of het TheaterFestival 2018 in Antwerp.
- business support from t-heater during a whole year.
How does it work?
You can e-mail your plan, idea or concept (max. 1 A4) together with your resume to info@theaterfestival.be.
