PESSIMISM OF THE INTELLECT,
OPTIMISM OF THE WILL

OPPORTUNITY FOR EMERGING(ISH) THEATRE MAKERS

22/8/2018

Hi gang.

I'm working on some new material w/c 3 September at Shoreditch Town Hall. I have some funding to support an emerging theatre maker to join me in the room. Let this opportunity be known as Person in the Room.

Given what is likely to be happening in the first half of the week at least, it would make sense if the Person in the Room was someone with a writing practice, or at least with writing as part of their practice. For the first couple of days, as it happens, I'll be mostly working up some text. In the latter half of the week there'll be some performers in the room getting this on its feet a bit.

The Person in the Room will therefore be enabled and supported to spend some of the time working on their own material. They are required to bring nothing into the room beyond their brain and their heart, and to do little more than to respond to what they see and hear, using the aforementioned equipment. Additionally, they'll document the week in some form - that could be a blog post but it could equally be a short video or a cartoon, or an imaginary animal.


There's £500 for them. I can pay travel expenses within London. Similar (identical) opportunities outside London will follow very soon.

If you're interested, or know someone who is, email me on danielbye AT ymail DOT com (not gmail) and tell me who they are and what you'd like to get out of the week.

I encourage applications from people who don't look like me.

UPDATE: It's been pointed out that a deadline would be helpful. Here's one: Monday 27th at noon. I'll get back to people as quickly as I can. My decision will be made on the basis of who I think I can help, as well as who can help me.

Hi Daniel,
I am an armenian classically trained actress based in Sheffield. Don't have a writing experience ( just trying to make some short plays). If you need performers I am interested in your project. thanks
