Theatres As Producers: What I Talk About When I Talk About Producing

Tuesday Nov 10th 1100-1530

Free, including lunch

The Producers Place network is back with an event in partnership with Aberystwyth Arts Centre.

It’s a friendly and informative day-long event for anyone who is interested in or connected to producing in the performing arts, such as independent producers, venue producers, artist producers, artists and companies

Theatres and Arts Centres are producing because there is a shortage of suitable touring product and of independent producers in their area. They want to support artists and see producing as a valuable contribution. Venues also see that it is beneficial to be involved in the creation of work for their audiences. But do venues have the right skills, experience or capacity? And how do they develop this sustainably for the future? How do we share skills and experience – making links between the independent sector and venues?

1100 hrs:              What I Talk About When I Talk About Producing: Forum Sessions

An opportunity to share, chat, moan, rant, discuss and problem solve together with experienced producers on hand from the Producers Place steering group. You can get great advice, ask basic questions or have wider discussions on subjects such as Artists and Producers, Venues and Producers and The Role of Scratch Nights, Festivals and Sharings. 

1215 hrs:              Lunch

1300 hrs:              What I Talk About When I Talk About Producing: Panel Session

A panel discussion looking at different examples of producing and why people do it. Looking at in-house producing within venues to independent production outside Cardiff, this will take account of the strengths and weaknesses of current models with contributions from:

  • Sharon Casey – Theatre & Arts Service Manager at Caerphilly Borough Council
  • Gareth Lloyd Roberts – Director at Aberystwyth Arts Centre
  • Sandra Bendelow – An independent producer with Scriptography Productions
  • Kate Wasserberg – Artistic Director at The Other Room

1430 hrs:              What I Talk About When I Talk About Producing: Q&A Session

Mel Scaffold is Company Producer at Theatre Bristol which has played a significant role in the emergence of Bristol as an artistic centre, transforming the city and building its capacity to work with artists. Mel offers bespoke support to companies enabling them to grow and develop strategically balanced with hands-on project producing. As part of this support, Mel currently works with Action Hero to help them plan and manage their work around the world and spends two days a week as Development Facilitator for Gloucestershire Creates.

Producers’ Place is a network for producers in Wales. The network aims to strengthen links between people who self-identify as producers in the arts (whether they have that job title or not) to foster dialogue, share ideas and offer practical support to participants.

Contact Gill Ogden at ggo@aber.ac.uk  to book a free place or for further details.

CALL OUT FOR ACTORS

Routes

Written & Directed by Ndidi Spencer

 

About the show:

Cardiff, June, 1919.  Violent race riots close in on Butetown, as Lleucu, a white nurse, wakes to her worst nightmare. Beaten by white thugs for her relationship with black activist, Raphael, she finds herself trapped in a house on the wrong side of the riots, in the firing line of enraged boarding mistress, Rose. Racial tension, violence, death and rejection suffocate them, but they are forced to set aside their differences to work together as united front.

 

Character Breakdown:

 

Rose

 

Black Caribbean, female, 40+. A wise, courageous woman. Rose was made a widow during the war, and now singlehandedly runs a boarding house on the bustling streets of Butetown. Well respected by the local community and afraid of no-one.

 

Lleucu

 

White, female, 25 +, Welsh. Typically courageous, but anxious, trapped on the wrong side of the race riots.  Under constant attack, Lleucu puts her life on the line to prove her loyalty and love for Raphael.

 

Raphael

 

Black Caribbean, male, 30+. Both a pilar of the community and an aggressor. Determined in his fight for justice, Raphael will stop at nothing, and fears no-one. A natural born leader, and a headman during the riots.

 

Rufus

 

Black Caribbean, male, 30+. Eccentric, subservient, and often impetuous. Rufus is Raphael's right hand man. Many fear his spontaneous, erratic nature.

 

Vaughan

 

White, male, 30+, Welsh. Lleucu's older brother. Arrogant, devious and valiant. His bold personality makes him a force not to be reckoned with.

 

 

Actors must be available during September and October 2015.

 

This is a paid opportunity.

 

How to apply:

Please send a current Headshot, Showreel and CV to Director, Ndidi Spencer, at ndidispencer@lifeventurearts.co.uk.
