⭐️OPEN AUDITIONS⭐️

We are holding auditions for our newest production, Inertia.

Inertia explores the five stages of grief and healing through
poetic language, intense relationships and visually-driven movement.
The piece follows the journey of Frida, in Eastern Europe post the fall
of the Soviet Union, as she grapples with the human condition,
melancholy and madness.

Rehearsals will be throughout September with the show in October. There are 6 roles with varying ages and genders.

If you are interested in auditioning please read see the audition pack linked below.

It’s time to campaign to get early year creatives involved in the industry and pay them properly. We are looking for donations for our next project, Inertia to make exactly this happen.

If you are able to give any donation at all it would mean the world to all our production team and actors.

Thank you so much to all those who have already donated, we are beyond grateful for your kindness and support.

Thank you so much to for hosting two development readings for our next project, Inertia. Our playwright has been working so hard to get this piece to where it is today and these readings made such a difference. The talent these actors have is outrageous and we are honoured to have worked with them.

We have a gofundmepage linked in our bio to fund the production. It is so important to us that early career creatives are paid properly for their work and therefore we are trying our hardest to raise enough money do exactly that. Paying people the correct amount in the arts should not be a rarity, it should be a given. We will work our hardest to try and make that happen for all those involved in Inertia. So whatever you can give means so much to myself and the team.

ANNOUNCMENT

We are so excited to announce that we have been working with the intimidatingly talented Trudy Kalvynaite for a brand new production...

This will be our second independently produced piece of new writing and we could not be more excited.

Now we need your help...we are looking for support with funding and have therefore set up a gofundme page. If you can give anything at all we would be eternally grateful.
