The Fair’s main target consists of promoting the latest professional theatrical productions coming from both the national and international market,paying special attention to those companies from Castilla y León, Extremadura and Portugal.The event is configured as a point of encounter and as a space for promoting creativity through the offering of opportunities to encourage the market dynamics in the field and put it into artistic value.

The presence of companies in the Fair is reflected in three different sections: their shows may be selected as promotional performances in the official programming of the Fair; they may participate with different proposals in the section of complementary activities; and, in any case, they are allowed to take part in the Virtual Fair, where all the data coming from the registered companies are joined together –of both programmed and not programmed shows- with the aim that programmers and cultural operators obtain their information and contact.

Works exclusively premiered throughout 2014 and 2015, as well as shows not yet performed in Spanishlanguage,will be accepted. Besides, as long as the Selection Committee has enough time for checking the data that guarantee the quality of the show, the proposal of premiere during the Fair and the proposal of premiere in Spanish language will be positively valued.

Those proposals adjusting to the spatial and technical available conditions,showing quality, innovation and creativity in every level and developing new dramatic possibilities, will be chosen with the aim of creating a dynamic, balanced and striking programming.

The Fair shall programme any genre and stage formatand shall present the following sections in its programming:  

·         Children’s Theatre and theatre addressed towards a familiar and youthful audience.

·         Classic and contemporary theatre, drama, new drama, comedy, musical, clown, sketch and pantomime.

·         Dance performances.

                Besides, companies will be able to participate in the Fair within the section of complementary activities, addressed towards professionals and other audiences, in two main lines of work:

Presentations addressed towards professionals: The Fair offers a specific sectionwithin the dynamics of encounters between companies and representative cultural operators(programmers, distributors and producers)devoted to the presentation of work-in-progress shows. Proposals must be submitted by e-mail to the Fair Office attaching all the documentation that the companies consider necessary and explaining the proposal put forward to consideration (short presentations in stage, showcases, work-in-progress, communication…).

Activities dealing with the promotion of performing arts: training and learning proposals, theatre pedagogy activities and other activities that the companies consider suitable to develop under the scope of the Fair and targeted towards social collectives (young people, children…). Proposals of this kind must be submitted by e-mail to the Fair’s Office attaching an explaining dossier.

            The Fair will study those proposals of participation in the event that can be propounded as complementary activities, in which case, the financial conditions of participation would be discussed.

All the proposals will be properly studied and valued and the companies will be informed of the state of their submissions when the processes of selection and the design of the programming are finished.
