Following on from the success of the Spring devised piece, ‘Visited’, we are launching an unique new project that will give a group of dedicated actors the chance to be involved in the creation of two original, site- specific plays.
Two separate casts will each work with a director and devise a one act ‘Splinter pieces’ based on the scripts of the main shows, Electra and Bones, focusing on any element of the play which they find interesting e.g the time period, a theme, character etc. The project will be both creative and challenging, with each actor being given the opportunity to experience a range of theatre styles and exercises.
The splinter pieces will be performed together in outdoor spaces on Friday 2nd,Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th August.
Rehearsals will begin on Thursday 6th June and will be every Thursday and Sunday in June and Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays from July. Actors cast will need to be available from 4pm on the first performance nigh,t Friday 2nd August. Due to the tight time constraints of the project we ask that actors can commit to the entire rehearsal period.
Casting is via email and will be open from 9pm on Sunday 19th May until 9pm on Monday 20th May. After the deadline, all applicants will be put into a hat and names drawn at random until all available slots have been filled, this is to ensure the process is fair and everyone has an equal chance to take part. Each play will have a maximum of 6 actors.
Email the directors; Trina Hasthorpe and Kim Morrison at: devised@kdctheatre.com to apply or for further information. Please note applications will not be accepted until 9pm on Sunday 19th!
