CALL OUT FOR WORKS- IN- PROGRESS
Deadline: THURSDAY 12th SEPTEMBER
ASSEMBLE is a brand-new, small-scale D.I.Y performance platform, happening in Manchester. ASSEMBLE is for story-tellers, live artists, comedians, writers and anyone in between to come together in a room, have a conversation and test their ideas out.
We are concentrating on work that has something to say for itself, tells a story and is small in scale but big in ideas.
For our very first event in the autumn, we are looking for four un-finished pieces that need a testing ground and would benefit from exposure to supportive audience.
There are three rules:
- The whole thing, including setting up and putting away must fit into a 20-30 minute time slot.
- It can be broadly defined as live-art or performance
- AND that you will be prepared to develop the piece with our support and perform it again in four months’ time.
We are not looking for sleek finished or polished pieces but for strong starting point, an interesting first step and an openness to share thoughts on process and development of work.
If you have an idea and want to get involved email us at assembletheatre@gmail.com for an application form.
NB: In the next few weeks we hope to be announcing the venue and the date, keep an eye out on twitter @assembleNW or our blog assembletheatre.wordpress.com
ALSO: We want this to be a regular event but to do that we NEED you. So, if you have an idea or a fully formed piece that’s not quite right for our first event, email us, tell us about your work and about you and we’ll get back to you. OR if you have a performance coming up and would like to put it on at ASSEMBLE, invite us and we will do our best to come!
AND: We are open to ideas… get in touch
