Theatre Glos, Everyman And Create Glos offer opportunities to get feedback on performances and training to organise 'Scratch Nights'
Dear All, at the Theatre Network meeting on May 9th we discussed the possibility of organising a scratch night so that companies and practitioners could show their work with the opportunity for informal discussion and feedback from audience and peers after the performance.
Theatre Gloucestershire has met with Paul Milton, Everyman Theatre and Pippa Jones, Create Gloucestershire to look at ways of making this happen.
The Everyman has offered the Studio Theatre for a week next February 2013 and mentoring for the companies/practitioners involved from an industry professional.
Create Gloucestershire has offered professional training (1day) for practitioners around leadership. The intention is to provide practitioners with the necessary skills to be able to organise this kind of event for themselves in the future.
Theatre Gloucestershire has a small pot of money available.
Companies/practitioners involved will have the opportunity to -
- Present between 20 and 60 minutes of performance material
- Showcase their work at a live event in the Everyman Theatre Studio
- Have the opportunity to engage in creative dialogue, about their work and that of other artists, with real audiences to help inform process and practice.
- Meet other artists and companies presenting and develop future partnerships.
If you are interested please put forward a proposal for what you would like to show/perform and what you hope to achieve from the evening and send to kim@theatregloucestershire.net . The proposal should be no more than 500 words.
Look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best wishes
Kim
