    • Neo-Futurism creates non-illusory, interactive performance that is a fusion of sport, poetry and living-newspaper. We make work under the tenets of honesty & truth on stage, brevity, transformation, liveness, risk, and chance.
    • In Neo-Futurism, performers present themselves and their world onstage as directly and honestly as possible, without playing characters or using a fictional setting. Everything we say and do onstage is true to our lives.

      What kinds of opportunities for yourself do you see in work like this? What kinds of challenges do you see for yourself in work like this?

    • Please include a sample of your recent creative work. Work that represents you as an artist or person (first-person storytelling, anything that showcases yourself as a performer) are especially helpful. Please limit the size of your samples to no more than 5 pages for writing, and 2-5 minutes for audio/video.
