Apricity — Performing Arts

Overview
Apricity operates as a non-profit student organization, and its performing arts submission call reflects an academic, exploratory curatorial ethos. The magazine accepts work across music, short film, short play, and dance, with scores, scripts, and screenplays considered alongside live documentation. This openness suggests a publication interested in the performative gesture in its many forms, rather than a single medium or tradition. The absence of a fee and the acceptance of simultaneous submissions indicate an effort to remain accessible to practitioners at various stages of their practice. Selected contributors can expect their work to be presented within a student-edited context that values arrangement and description as much as the final artifact. The requirement to include a brief description of how the performance was arranged points to a curatorial interest in process, not merely product. Video submissions are capped at fifteen minutes each, a constraint that encourages concise, considered excerpts or complete short-form works. Notification occurs within three months of submission, though the staff's academic calendar means that pieces submitted in April and May may not receive a response until August. The magazine's non-profit status and student composition position it as a space for emerging and experimental voices, though the call does not restrict eligibility by career stage. The emphasis on live versions, where possible, signals a preference for work that retains a sense of liveness or documented performance, rather than purely studio or text-based outputs. For performing artists seeking a first or early publication credit, or for those interested in reaching a university-affiliated readership, Apricity offers a low-barrier, no-fee entry point with a clear, if modest, editorial framework.
