Choreographer/Dance Company Workshop Opportunity

image for recruiting dance company

As part of our exciting Spring project we have a great opportunity for a dance company or choreographer with a current DBS certificate (within 6 months) to work with us this Spring over the Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend.

The selected candidate will spend a half-day working with children/young people to create a piece that tells a story and celebrates the 70 years of the Queen’s reign.  The time spent will total 3 hours including two 10 minute breaks.  The piece will be performed to a small audience at the end of the session.  We are looking at the possibility of this performance taking place outside (weather dependent).

 

We will pay a total of £200 for the 3-hour session and up to £50 to cover expenses for the day (including travel, money towards childcare if required, and food).  This will be payable after an invoice is raised and will be paid by the Tuesday following receipt of the invoice.

To apply please do fill out this short form, including a link to your related work

Alternatively, if you wish to discuss this further please email beth@liveartlocal.co.uk and leave any details, plus a phone number and we will call you back to discuss.

 

Due to when funding was confirmed and the short timeframe we have for this project we aim to let the successful candidate know by 17th April.

Week 8 – Alys Williams (Sardines Theatre) – Family Physical Theatre and Puppets

This week we had a session run by theatre-maker, Alys Williams where participants had a great time dancing like a monkey, a lobster, and a host of other animals, getting rained on by money, having a wash, and having a go at making some simple puppets.

If you were unable to make our session then why not join along at home with our live recorded workshop?

To have a go at making the puppets you will need:

clothes peg, scarf, or towel, round hard disk, paper, scissors and single-sided tape

This is a family-focused session suitable for all ages

Micro Commission: Micro Performance – Culture @ Home

Liv Art Local CIC are excited to announce our latest opportunity for creatives in the UK.  With news that live performance still cannot take place, but that soon families will be able to spend more time with friends and family members outside of their home, we are looking to commission a micro play/performance (between 5-10 minutes in length), that can be performed by a group of socially distanced people at home without any prior experience or training.

We view this as a great way to bring theatre into the home this summer and to bond people by creating something together, we are also keen to support UK talent, although we can only offer a modest sum of £250, and to take their work to a wider audience.

We will be inviting people to share their performances with us if they feel happy to share and we hope to be able to upload some of these to our website in the months ahead.

This opportunity is open to all creatives, whether from a theatre, writing, art, music, or dance background, and can take the form of a mirco play, a way of creating music/sound together, or a movement piece.

It is up to you how you convey this, however, all works must be on the theme of connection.

To apply for this opportunity please fill out our brief application form and submit an outline of your idea (max 250 words).  The deadline is the 7th August and we will contact the selected applicant by 10th August and would look to have the work, whether that be a script, a video lesson, a sheet of instructions etc. .. completed and uploaded to our website by 22nd August.

 

If you would rather you can send a video application via WeTransfer to us at help@liveartlocal.co.uk using the application form questions, and up to 5 minutes to explain your idea.

Payment will be made the following Friday (28th August) via Paypal or bank payment.

 

Culture @ Home week 3: Rosa Torr – Playwrighting for ZOOM performance

Join playwright and dramaturg, Rosa Torr as she hosts a workshop focused on writing for performance over ZOOM.  This session uses automatic writing exercises and gets the writer to think about how they can use the medium as a core part of the storytelling experience.  Due to its length it does not get down to the minutiae of writing for Zoom but seats it within the general framework for writing for performance, because of this the workshop may be best for those newer to playwrighting.
