Four directors are chosen for each festival. Their works will be presented in rotating repertory scheduled for the month of August 2000. The Series encourages collaboration between the four directors. Directors are asked to read all the scripts involved, to hold regular meetings, to see each others' rehearsals and to exchange ideas. Works should be created specifically for the Blueprint Series, and should not have had prior presentations in New York City.
Original material is encouraged.
Each director is given complete artistic freedom, without interference from the Ontological, but is encouraged to engage in an ongoing dialogue with the curators. Directors are not, however, allowed to cast themselves in their own piece. There is no money provided by the Ontological for any production costs, although there is the possibility of a small stipend provided at the end of the festival. Rep lighting plot with minimal specials for each show. Programs with biographies of cast and crew.
