TEAM Volunteers wanted for Green Man // Red Woman this August

We are looking for female volunteers from TEAM to join the on-site production of Green Man // Red Woman, taking place from 14th - 17th August at Greenman Festival in Brecon (volunteers needed 16th and 17th).

About the show:

Commissioned by National Theatre Wales and written and directed by site-specific theatre maker Gerald Tyler – Green Man // Red Woman is a show created specially for Greenman Festival 2014, taking inspiration from the pagan energy that flows through the site – seriously. 

Unfolding across the four days of the festival (14 - 17 August) the piece will follow the journey of our two innocents, Llinos Mai and Hannah McPake. Commissioned by National Theatre Wales, they promise to shake thing up by performing some actual, real life magic, from a spell Llinos found in her nan's house. Their plan is to harvest female energy from the festival’s most powerful women and invest a brave volunteer with the fertile fury of nature herself to create a walking, talking Red Woman. Once the ritual is complete, this new super being will engage the festival’s pagan namesake, The Greenman himself either in combat or marriage. 

You will be part of the Red Woman's entourage. Part of the role of the volunteers will be to talk to festival goers and asking them to perform some basic story-related tasks, so you will need to be confident improvising and ad-libbing.  

Dates and times you will be needed for:

Saturday 16th August evening / night 18:30 – 23:00 (approx)

Sunday 17th August afternoon 12:00 – 18:30 (approx)

Per Diems / Subsistence:

This is not a paid role. All volunteers will be provided with a full festival pass covering 14th - 17th August. You are welcome to be on site for the duration of the festival but please note you will be given per diems (£30 a day per person) for the Saturday and Sunday only, as those are the days you will be needed for the show. TEAM will cover your travel costs.

You will need to be available and in Cardiff on the morning of the Friday 1st August to meet with Gerald Tyler, the show's creator and director, to have a chat about what the role involves. Following this initial meeting we will contact  you if we would like you to be involved. 

If you are interested in coming in for a chat, please email me at olivia_harris@hotmail.co.uk no later than Wednesday July 30th and I'll send you some more detailed information about the show, what we would like the volunteers to do and a time slot to come in for a chat. 

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Cheers,

Liv
