CALL FOR COLLABORATORS

A group of 8 emerging artists enters a hospital, hospice, or senior’s residence and performs Shakespeare scenes, monologues, and choral pieces for the patients/residents.

This is a prime opportunity for actors who are looking to gain directing and collective collaboration experience. It is an opportunity to hone your critical eye and network with emerging and established artists from diverse backgrounds.

RESPONSIBILITIES & REQUIREMENTS:

-Interact/collaborate with actors, directors, and guest artists

-Will be included in creative exploration for the project and will step in as understudies on occasion

-Facilitate an atmosphere for actors to develop their monologues and scenes

-Must be able to facilitate discussions on various theatre topics related to the project

-Must have a strong critical eye and be able to articulate notes to actors

-Must be passionate about classical theatre and contemporary performance (particularly Shakespeare)

-Must be an actor or have a background in acting

There is an opportunity to be paid per project for each year. However, this is an emerging collective and shared experience is the main form of compensation. This is a great opportunity to expand your network of emerging and established artists and to develop new skills in a collaborative environment.

 

Applications may be submitted electronically to Victoria Urquhart at shakespur@gmail.com. We will be holding interviews the first two weeks of September.

 

 

ABOUT SPUR-OF-THE-MOMENT SHAKESPEARE COLLECTIVE

 

The Spur-of-the-Moment-Shakespeare Collective is a youth-led group of artists dedicated to breaking down barriers surrounding Shakespearean text, thereby making the Bard's work more accessible. This is done through performing classical pieces spontaneously in modern spaces, demonstrating the humanity of each story in a current context.

We also strive to provide cyclical-benefit projects for artists and the community. Emerging artists need to hone and develop their skills, and there are several opportunities to do so while benefiting the surrounding community. Therefore, we seek to satisfy one need with another.

We hope to perform these works in length one day.

We aren’t just doing this project for fun. As shown in this blog, there is at least a metric tonne of reasons why we are doing it. A large part of that is because we aspire to do this professionally one day- and as such, we hope to perform each of these plays in full-length.

So, if you are looking for a reason to vote today, do it because we are aspiring to do this in full one day, so you know we’ll handle it professionally. http://pep.si/hDkj1N
