Call for Submissions: The Glassco Playwrights’ Residence in Tadoussac, 2011
Playwrights’ Workshop Montréal is now accepting submissions for the 2011 Glassco Playwrights’ Residence in Tadoussac. The residency will take place September 14th to the 25th, 2011 at the home of the late Bill Glassco in Tadoussac Québec.

The Glassco Playwrights’ Residence in Tadoussac is made possible with the support of the Cole Foundation, and the friends and family of Bill Glassco. The Residence allows Québec and Canadian playwrights and their translators, as well as adaptors, to come together for ten days in Tadoussac, Quebec, to work in depth on their translations/adaptations.

The chosen participants are provided with a unique opportunity to focus on translations of contemporary French and English plays from Quebec and Canada (occasionally projects in other languages are considered), as well as theatrical adaptations, and to share expertise in a retreat environment.  Linda Gaboriau, one of the country’s most respected translators and Governor General Literary award winner, hosts the Residence and is the Dramaturg on translation and adaptation projects.

We are accepting submissions of plays that are slated for translation or adaptation. The projects must have committed interest from a theatre company for a possible production. Please send us a short description of the project, the name of the translator and playwright, and details of the production interest.  One of the selection criteria for translation projects will be the availability of both the playwright and the translator to attend the residency together.

Deadline for submissions: April 15th, 2011.

Appel de soumissions: La Résidence Glassco pour dramaturges à Tadoussac 2011

Playwrights’ Workshop Montréal accepte présentement des propositions de projet pour le programme de La Résidence Glassco pour dramaturges à Tadoussac 2011.  Cette année, la résidence aura lieu du 14 au 25 septembre 2011, à la maison du regretté Bill Glassco à Tadoussac.

La Résidence Glassco pour dramaturges à Tadoussac est rendue possible grâce au soutien de la Fondation Cole, et des amis et de la famille de Bill Glassco. La Résidence permet aux dramaturges et à leurs traducteurs ainsi qu’aux adaptateurs, de se rencontrer et d’échanger pendant dix jours, dans un petit village à l'embourchure du magnifique fleuve Saguenay.

Les participants sélectionnés ont l’occasion exceptionnelle de se concentrer sur la traduction des textes contemporains français et anglais du Québec et du Canadaanglais et sur des adaptations théâtrales, tout en partageant entre eux la richesse de leur expertise dans un environnement magnifique, unique. Linda Gaboriau, deux fois laureate du Prix littéraire du Gouverneur general, est l’une des traductrices les plus respectées au pays. Elle anime la Résidence et agit en tant que conseillère dramaturgique sur tous les projets de traduction et d'adaptation.

Nous acceptons présentement des soumissions d’œuvres théâtrales choisies pour la traduction ou l’adaptation. À l’occasion, des projets visant la traduction ou l’adaptation d’œuvres en d’autre langues que le français et l’anglais sont étudiés. Les projets devront avoir déjà retenu l’intérêt d’une compagnie de théâtre pour une production éventuelle. Nous vous demandons de nous faire parvenir une brève description du projet, le nom du traducteur/traductrice et de l’auteur dramatique et les détails concernant l’intérêt d’une compagnie de théâtre.
