Recruiting: Radio Drama Writers
CFRC’s Radio Residencies program for 2011-2012 continues with the recruitment of two Kingston-area writers to create original radio dramas. Interested applicants should submit a 1 to 2-page proposal, outlining their project’s theme, subject matter, source materials, production techniques, a plan for involving CFRC volunteers and Kingston community members, and addressing how the drama will engage with local issues and stories, reflect the diversity of the region and connect with listeners from other places.
Proposals may be submitted to cfrcops@ams.queensu.ca until Monday, February 6 at 4pm. Successful applicants will have access to audio production training, CFRC’s studios, portable digital recorders, honoraria to recruit project volunteers, and a $1000 honorarium for completing the project. Finished pieces will be broadcast on CFRC, shared with other community radio stations and debuted at the Screening Room in April.

Art’s Birthday, January 17
Art’s Birthday is an annual event first proposed in 1963 by French Fluxus artist Robert Filiou, who suggested that 1,000,000 years ago, on the 17th of January, Art was born when someone dropped a sponge into a bucket of water. Filiou proposed a public holiday to celebrate the presence of art in our lives. This idea has been taken up by a loose network of radio and sound artists around the world. Kingston joins the movement through CFRC 101.9fm’s Art’s Birthday celebration: a day-long exploration of art on-air from 4pm-midnight, including a live broadcast from the Artel, 205 Sydenham Street, between 7-11pm, featuring performances by Decomposing Pianos, Happiness Is.., Neven Lochhead/Liam Cole and many more. This event is made possible through the assistance of the Community Foundation of Kingston and Area. Help us wish Art a happy 1,000,049th Birthday!
