New Year. New Work. Scratch Mornings at Everyman Theatre
Starting this February, e&p’s New Works department will present a quarterly Scratch Morning – offering artists the opportunity to scratch new performance ideas in the early stages of development. The inaugural Scratch Morning will take place on Saturday 4th February at 11am in Ev1 at the Everyman Theatre.
We are seeking applications from an eclectic mix of theatre-makers from across the North West who wish to present a short section of new work before an audience who will get a chance to offer their thoughts on how these exciting new ideas might develop.
The Scratch will present four extracts of new work for the stage, no longer than 20 minutes. Extracts can explore any topic and take any form but must be in the early stages of development. We ask that performances are not dependent on technical support.
You must:
–Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Be based in the North West region
–Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Be making new, original work for the stage
–Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Have a 20 minute extract to scratch
