OUTBURST CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS!
We know from chatting to festival goers that lots of you are keen to get involved in the festival on a creative or organisational level. So...we are opening the committee to new members! We are looking for volunteers with a passion for creativity, a great positive attitude, lots of ideas and most importantly, the time and commitment to see a professional level festival through to November and beyond. The basic commitment will be a monthly meeting (usually about 2 hrs, with biscuits), a couple of hours worth of tasks between meetings, helping out at events, publicity etc. We're particularly keen to get people on board who have experience in fundraising, marketing, publicity and organisation, though it would also be a great learning opportunity for anyone with an interest in arts event development and organisation, so if you've just got oodles of enthusiam and drive, that's okay too. We're an upbeat and positive collective of diverse queer folk, so it should be great fun as well as occasional hard work.
Drop us an email to info@outburstarts.com telling us a bit about yourself and what you'd like to bring to OUTBURST and we'll take it from there!
Don't forget, we are always open to suggestions for events, collaborations and partnerships so feel free to email us anytime.
That's all for now but we'll be in touch with more news over the coming months.
Oh and we should have some new pics from the festival up on our sites soon, so check back from time to time or become our friend at our Bebo and Myspace pages.0 Comments 626 days

SATURDAY 26th APRIL 2008
Reading of a new play by Shannon Yee, Cafe @ The Black Box, Hill St. (2pm, Free Adm.)
Outburst is all about supporting vibrant new queer creativity and this afternoon reading is no exception. Local (via New York) playwrite Shannon Yee will be previewing some of her new work with performers, so take a break from the shopping, grab a cappucino and be mightily entertained in the lovely chilled out cafe setting at Black Box. More details to follow.
In other news...Not an OUTBURST event but for those of you who enjoyed the Wine, Women and Words event at last year's festival, Lesbian Line will be presenting another evening of poetry and prose at 8pm in La Boca (formerly Alto's), Fountain St. on March 6th. Please note that this is a women-only event.0 Comments 626 days

FRIDAY 28th MARCH 2008
Rae Spoon and guests at Dubarry's Bar, Gresham St. (Tickets on Door, £5)
Rae Spoon is a critically acclaimed Canadian bluegrass/alt. country performer, influenced by the greats likes Hank Williams and Woodie Guthrie but more in tune with modern day performers such as Joanna Newsome and Sufjan Stevens. Describing himself as "a transgendered person raised by Albertan Evangelists", his warm and colourful musical storytelling has seen him share a stage with everyone from Emmylou Harris and The Be Good Tanyas to Ani Difranco and Natalie Merchant. He's been described as "one of the most genuinely gifted and original songwriters to come out of the country genre for a long time."
If you like your music with a big honest queer heart and lots of rich toe-tapping goodness, this one's unmissible!
Outburst is delighted to support such an intimate solo gig from an up-and-coming queer recording artist who is set to be making big waves over the next couple of years. Check out Rae's music at www.raespoon.com and www.myspace.com/raespoon.0 Comments 626 days
