Deadline: Tuesday 1 March 2016. Paid.
We are looking for any kind of theatre maker: Writer; director; performer; company; artist; designer etc.
Criteria
- The piece has to be targeted at 8 – 13 year olds.
- We are committed to representing the diverse world we live in. Your proposal must respond to ACE Creative Case for Diversity
http://www.artscouncil.org.uk/what-we-do/our-priorities-2011-15/diversity-and-creative-case/. - We are committed to supporting artists from the North
- This commission will need to begin with an outreach phase, targeted to reach 8-13 year olds, as part of the r&d in 2016, acting as a taster to entice audiences in this age range to attend the final piece of theatre, having played a part in its development.
The piece must have the ability to be performed across the network, so ideally it needs to be adaptable for anything from rural touring to mid-scale venues and schools.
Budget

We are seeking additional funds from co-commissioners around the country to increase this total as well as adding touring venues.
- Partners are also contributing significant in-kind resources including space, marketing, mentoring, working outdoors or in rural locations, tour booking, engaging with schools and communities, outreach with low engagement communities.
