Voice & Vision is looking for projects initiated by women theater artists including
performers, directors, writers, designers and groups of collaborators

Voice & Vision Theater’s annual summer Retreat offers selected participants an artist-centered
workshop environment where they can develop projects with women at the core. Voice & Vision
provides ample rehearsal space on the Bard College campus, dramaturgical support, round-trip
transportation from New York City, housing, a daily stipend and most meals. The ENVISION
Retreat affords each artist a highly focused workspace and opportunities to informally present their
works-in-progress.

Projects will be chosen to reflect a broad range of aesthetic and cultural perspectives. Past Retreat
participants include Ruth Maleczech and Mabou Mines, Kia Corthron, Estelle Parsons, Olympia
Dukakis, Yeardley Smith, Lola Pashalinski, Lynn Nottage, Chiori Miyagawa, Caridad Svich, Kristin
Marting, Karen Hartman, Jennifer Miller, Lisa D’Amour and Theodora Skipitares.

Please send TWO COPIES OF THE FOLLOWING:

 Your script, if available (if not, excerpts are acceptable, or an earlier script)
 A one-page description of your project and its current stage of development (we do consider projects at very early
stages of development as well as projects much farther along), including a statement of your particular goals for the
ENVISION Retreat
 The number of project participants, including all collaborators and number of actors, needed for the Retreat
 Resumes of any project participants already connected to the project, whom you would like to bring to the Retreat
(we do not expect or require that you already have your creative team together, we just need to know if you do)
 Any special equipment, practical or technical needs
 Names and phone numbers of three professional references
 You may also include ONE COPY of a video of your project as a supplement to your application
 ONE $15 check payable to Voice & Vision to help offset the costs of circulating scripts among readers
