Just two weeks ago, TILT Performance Group -- Central Texas' newest theatre company -- wrapped up its devising process for 45°. This fresh, experimental performance piece debuts at Austin's FronteraFest on January 24^th, and the company is charging full-steam ahead. During the process of creating 45°, company members wrote multiple songs and scenes, choreographed myriad gestural phrases, and generated loads of fruitful discussion surrounding topics ranging from poverty to technology and everything in between. Any observer familiar with devising work in the theater might have found this an exciting but "typical" process. Beneath the surface, however, TILT is anything but typical. It's a company at the cutting edge. It's innovative, pioneering and groundbreaking. Join TILT as it takes a giant leap onto a slippery, sloping surface of 45°.

Opportunity: FronteraFest 2013 Applications Available via Hyde Park Theatre

FronteraFest 2013 runs January 15 - February 16, 2013. Applications and information now available at www.hydeparktheatre.org

That's right: it's time to heat up your winter nights again, with the holy-smokes-this-is-momentous 20th anniversary season of FronteraFest at Hyde Park Theatre (typically one gives emeralds on the 20th, hint hint). The Short Fringe, the Long Fringe, BYOV, or Mi Casa--as always and ever, FronteraFest is five weeks of alternative, offbeat, new, and just plain off-the-wall fringe theatre. Too bad there's no actual way to expect the unexpected, because that is your only hope.

FronteraFest is produced in collaboration with ScriptWorks, a group dedicated to supporting emerging playwrights and developing new dramatic works.

The Short Fringe
January 15 - February 16, 2013 at Hyde Park Theatre

Every night we present a new bill of four or five plays no longer than 25 minutes each. Brilliant monologues? Plays in progress? Comedy improv? Cabaret singers? Avant-garde dance? Short films? Multimedia? We've seen it all.

Every Saturday night is a juried "Best of the Week" performance, and the last week, February 12-16, is the juried "Best of the Fest"--with a few wild cards thrown in. A complete schedule, updated regularly, will be available here as the festival approaches.
