Hi, will there be a need for any ‘helping-hands’/volunteers?
Hi. Yes there will be. Keep an eye on the website/facebook/twitter pages over the next few weeks.
Hi, just wanted to check if the script reading service is available, and what the rough turnaround time was?
Many thanks
Dan
Hi there.
The script reading service is available all year round. The turnaround time is usually 2 weeks. If there is a urgency this can be accommodated.
Best wishes.
Hello, on your application form you ask for ‘images and/or supporting material’, which are compulsory. Could you clarify what you mean by supporting material, and do you mean images that might appear on publicity material, or just any images of the event. And will a link suffice for these or would you like attachments? Thanks for your help.
Hi there. Supporting material as in images/flyers of your show and/or company. These don’t have to be finalised as obviously applicants aren’t in the festival yet but we must have something rather than written text. If you have a link to any supporting material that’s fine. Just include as much as possible to help your application. Hope that helps.
How about extending the art forms ? I would be interested in doing drawings of performances (on-the-spot and instantaneous in concertina sketch books, so they open out into a long continuous narrative – a bit like a bayeux tapestry).
Have done those in performances before (e.g. Graii production of The Threepenny opera at Birmingham Rep) and also for Walsall Museum recording workers in the leather industry)…it’s a sort of drawing performance and people can see the resulting narratives as I draw…or afterwards. Can, of course, send samples of previous stuff I have done
Hi Tom. Please e-mail us via the contact page outlining further what it is you’re looking to do. Best wishes.
