i want from…
a director
someone interested in female-focused stories, new writing, challenging the audience through thematic exploration.
active political engagement —> directing with awareness and a desire for activism within their work and art.
someone with a cohesive aesthetic vision -> sharp, clean, engaged.
i would be interested to learn new things, working with different mediums, something more technical perhaps?
a writer
writing that challenges -> the norms, social conventions, the audience, the actors, the director. that seeks to explore new territory, even through the familiar.
someone who is politically aware and writes for social change/awareness.
who is interested in being involved in producing their work - being part of a wider collaborative team/environment. with passion for what they write, and a real desire to do something valuable with the opportunity.
a producer
from my peers, the seven other producers on the course, and the writers/directors who are interested in self-producing.
as one of the wider festival organisers, i want to work with producers who have clear understandings of their plays: logistically, technically, casting-wise. who know the ins and outs of rehearsal progress, scheduling effectively around one another.
who are actively contributing to the vision of VIEW 2026 - in whatever thematic and aesthetic means we decide as a collective. who are passionate about their specific projects as well as seeking success for the whole festival.
who are kind, and supportive always!
