Deadline: May 1, 2025
321 Plays for Trans Futures is an 11-hour long performance art show centering work & artists within the gender expansive community. You do not need to identify as trans/gnc/nonbinary in order to submit, but we will prioritize work centering trans+ experience for this piece.
We are seeking writers, artists, and musicians to submit work responding to the following prompts: Birthplaces, Homes, Memorials, Creation for Survival, & Futures. These prompts are the themes of each ~2-hour long movement within the show. We are specifically seeking work that can be performed in 2-5 minutes, but are also open to longer and non-temporal works. These prompts are meant to serve as an inspiration-- if your work lives outside the scope of these themes, please submit it anyways.
We will cast an ensemble to perform all 11 hours of content. If you live in the Chicago area & would like to perform your own piece, please indicate that in the form below. If you're a performer, keep an eye on our social media for a casting call for the ensemble.
Please submit a piece that you'd like to see featured in this project by May 1st, 2025. We will accept submissions on a rolling basis. After submitting, PLEASE keep an eye on your email.
We will pay each selected artist $15. You may submit as many pieces as you'd like for consideration, but you will receive a flat $15 if any of your work is selected for 321 Plays for Trans Futures.
