Jump Start - New Plays Needed!

 

Jump Start - Malvern Cube Thursday 9th November - part of FEAST festival

 

Jump Start are looking for submissions for the next showcase performance event at Malvern Cube on 9th November. Jump Start is an initiative run by Worcestershire Arts Partnership to provide opportunities for new theatre works to be performed. 

We are looking for:

 

• New theatre work that has not previously been performed 
• Work that is 10 - 15 minutes long 
• Work that is low-tech and does not require any get-in or get-out time 
• Work that is rehearsed and ‘off-script'
• Ideally, work from Worcestershire-based practitioners 

We can also provide an opportunity for writers to link with directors & actors so don’t worry if you have a text or an idea but no company!

 

Submissions (either an outline of the work or a script) should be made by email to me by FRIDAY 21st SEPTEMBER 2017. We will then select 4-5 submissions and  invite people to a meeting in late September / early October where writers, practitioners & actors can link up and start rehearsing. The performance night will be THURSDAY 9th NOVEMBER 7pm at Malvern Cube. There may be some rehearsal space available at the Cube, but generally each group will be expected to rehearse independently and to sort out their own space & timings. 

 

The 4-5 selected submissions will receive £400 towards the production on receipt of a signed contract.

 

If you’re an actor / director who’s interested in the project, please drop me a line and I’ll keep you up to speed with the meeting date.

 

PLEASE pass this message onto your networks & anyone who might be interested.

Worcester Stands Tall

Exciting Arts Project - Worcester Stands Tall

We are delighted to be supporting Worcester Stands Tall which is one of the largest mass participation projects the city has seen. It will be towering over Worcester for 10 weeks in the summer of 2018. Working across the business, community and arts sectors, this is a far reaching multi-partner project that will generate lots of excitement and exposure in the city and on social media for many months to come. 

There is a call out for all artists whether professional or amateur, individual or community group to get involved and release their creativity on Worcester City. Worcester Stands Tall are looking for artists to submit designs to decorate at least 25 giraffes. These graceful creatures will then create a trail through Worcester City.

The giraffe sculpture is a 3D Canvas and therefore versatile - it will hold every conceivable medium of art from fine art to graffiti, new media to mosaic, embroidery  to metal work.

If commissioned the artist will be paid £800. Artists can get involved by registering their interest on www.worcesterstandstall.co.uk and submission packs will be sent out from 18th September 2017. Please follow the projects social media links and share this exciting opportunity and share this exciting opportunity through your networks.

Worcester Stands Tall is a Wild in Art Event brought to the city by St Richards Hospice. At the end of the trail the giraffes will be auctioned to raise money for St Richard's Hospice.
