The Hot Phase - Ring Award 2011
The Ring Award
More than ten years ago, in 1997, the Wager Forum Graz developed the idea of organizing a three- step competition in the field of the musical theatre, but a competition which, different from most others in the field, would not concentrate on the musical side of works but focus on stage direction and stage design. From the outset it has been the most distinctive feature of the Ring Award that, at the finals, actual performances take place on a large stage and that, accordingly, not only conceptions are submitted for assessment, but contestants are judged by their capacity for producing live realizations of their conceptions.
The hot Phase
The Ring Award is a competition following three-steps. The hot phase just started. The overall number of individuals participating in the competition is 131. The fact that the participants come from 17 different nations affirms the international character, the versatility and uniqueness of this competition. In this first phase the Ring Award Jury faces the challenge of deciding on which of the 63 participating teams (6 of them for ring.award.off) should move on into the semifinals. on the 14 th and 15 th of January 2011 it´s halftime.
