Audition information
Two curators select works by audition. The slate of curators rotate so that each production of 12 Minutes Max is curated by a different pair of community members, often recent 12 Minutes Max alumni. We look for work from a variety of art disciplines. Tips for your audition:
Bring a device that can be connected to an auxiliary cord if you need sound.
If bringing equipment that requires power, please provide your own extension cord.
Arrive 15 minutes before your audition appointment.
Audition appointments are scheduled in 20 minutes slots and must include set up, performance and strike, as well as any questions curators may have about your piece.
Video auditions will be accepted––please see the application for more information.
Audition notification will be sent via email within a week of the audition.
