• First registration time :  January/February to April 1st. Applications will be processed from the date of the finalization of their registration.

• Second registration time from April 1st to June 15th. It only concerns fixed performances (no wanderings) that do not require an electrical access at the spot.

A collective is a group of companies collaborating to manage a spot with performances, a public restauration and a bar.

The organization of a collective requires that one of the companies coordinate the project and implies the presence of a qualified technical referent. Only a professional company can coordinate a collective. We need one contact person for the administrative part and one contact person for the technical part.

Before March 10th, the company in charge of the collective must send us a request by email with a detailed file describing the identity of the collective and its artistic project including : 
- the list of all the companies and performances
- the intended program
- the scenic spaces and elements planned
- the total electrical power required
- the consideration of the environment and the relationship with the inhabitants
- all information judged helpful to understand the project

Before April 1st, the collective will have to send back the completed technical preparatory document (without which the registration will be considered null and void) and all companies will have to finalize their individual registration.

Dates

Wednesday August 23 to Saturday August 26.
