Seed Commission Call Out from Camden People's Theatre

Camden People's Theatre are offering a new seed commission to artists from BAME (Black, Asian and minority ethnic) backgrounds to create a new ‘scratch’ performance (up to 25 minutes long) as part of their Autumn 2016 programme.

Each artist will receive £750 towards producing the work. These commissions are being offered specifically to those from BAME backgrounds in recognition of the fact these artists are currently underrepresented in contemporary theatre.

Please bear in mind, they are unlikely to consider 'plays' as traditionally understood, 'new writing', formally conventional work, straight monologues, or any work made according to the usual writer- director-actor hierarchies.
