"Site"-Specific Festival
brought to you virtually by Exquisite Corpse Company
About "Site"-Specific Festival
ECC has decided to give the community a little virtual show! We're doing a spin off of our classic Drunk24 Festival! We're inviting people around the country to participate in this online night of theater... or as we're calling it "Site"-Specific Festival!
What does this mean?
Since our community is in quarantine, we're adapting one of our favorite community events and making weird art in strange spaces... your spaces!
~Performers~
We're asking people who live together to apply as acting teams! Live alone or with non-actors? That's ok too! This is a chance for everyone to get creative. You can always do a short monologue, song, or solo-dance.
~Directors~
Will be assigned an actor team and a piece to direct from the comfort of their own home. They only get 2 days to get their actors off-book and incorporate the space in an imaginative way.
~Playwrights~
Playwrights will be given 24hrs to create a 5 minute playlet for their assigned actor team! They're inspiration? 5 drinking rules, the team, and the team's apartment. Bet you were wondering how this would be site-specific... ;)
~Creatives~
Are you a dancer, painter, musician, drag queen, puppeteer, contortionist, etc? Submit to participate and if selected you will be challenged to create a piece in your space incorporating 5 drinking rules.
OH, and did we mention... "Site"-Specific 2020 is a DRINKING GAME!? That's right! Instead of watching the performers have all the fun, you'll get to join in too! Grab your beer, wine, tea, or juice and join in!
"Site"-Specific Rebirth Festival

During our second round of this festival, we were able to collaborate with ECC community members from near and far under quarantine. With over 200 people watching on the night of the performance, we were able to reach an extraordinary amount of people and collaborate with artists across the world. We're so excited to do this again!
