As Fred made so clear, the application process is not at all a hurdle. If you desire to "learn and share" (and I would add "grow"), you'll fit right in at the O'Neill. It's an amazingly supportive environment for taking risks, learning, sharing and growing. I never miss an oppoprtunity to sing it's praises.

Regards, Mark >> I have responded to Mark privately, but thought a shorter reply here might be helpful. The application form for the O'Neill which is downloadable from the site (www.oneillpuppetryconference.com) has a listing of what they would like to receive from you to see where you may be in the field of puppetry (or other related fields). Having said this, I know that the selection process is extremely flexible and at times, a phone conversation has been the determining factor. They want whatever materials you can send along to understand who you are and what you've done. The list may seem intimidating but don't let it bother you. Call or email Bobbie and let her know why you are interested. It's not meant to be off-putting. There is an 'interview' process, whereby Bobbie Nidzgorski determines if the 'fit' for a prospective participant with the conference is right. Believe me when I say, it has more to do with making sure that you will benefit from the conference and less to do with your status. --->>>>The most important thing is that any participant has a strong desire to learn and share. <<<------ Once you're in, everybody starts at the same place. It depends more on what you need to get out of the conference. The staff adjusts to meet those needs. We have also had folks there who have no puppetry experience but may have some dance or theater connection and who are interested in puppetry. This is just a quick reply. I'd be glad to give you details on specific questions. It's not as intimidating as it looks. And it's a GREAT experience for most....We have had a lot of repeats.
