Are you working on a new idea that you’d like to test out in front of an audience? Open Floor is an opportunity to get something on its feet in front of an audience and see what does and doesn’t work.
Capital Theatres are looking for Scottish theatre makers to take part in their scratch night, Open Floor, on Fri 19 July 2024 at The Studio. Open Floor is an opportunity to get something up on its feet in front of an audience and see what does and doesn’t work. They’re opening up the opportunity to theatremakers of all kinds and all genres so go ahead and throw your hat in the ring.
They’re keeping this quick and dirty so think a few lighting or sound cues, basic video projection, nothing too technical.
Here’s what they can offer: A slot to perform 10-15 mins of material, a fee of £450 for your performance, professional photographs of your performance and feedback from the night.
The closing date for applications is Thu 13 June 2024 at midnight. Decisions will be shared on 20 June 2024 prior to the performance date of 19 July 2024.
To be eligible, you must be based in Scotland and have worked on at least one professional production or R&D process previously. This can include Fringe performances but not university productions or amateur dramatics. You must not be in receipt of RFO funding from Creative Scotland and you must be available to tech during the day and perform on the night of Fri 19 July 2024. In addition, the project you’re applying with must be new and have not already been commissioned, produced or co-produced, or staged by another organisation.
To apply, please complete the online application form by midnight, Thu 13 June 2024. You can complete this with written answers or video application. A dyslexia-friendly version of the form is also available from their website. If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch at engage@capitaltheatres.com
