Dateline: 16th November, 2005
The Professional Artists Lab and the California NanoSystems Institute at the University of California, Santa Barbara, have launched a collaborative effort, the first International STAGE Script Competition, open to plays about science and technology. The winning script in the Scientists, Technologists and Artists Generating Exploration (STAGE) competition will receive $10,000 USD; a staged reading with a cast of professional actors and simultaneous participation in an awards event with distinguished professionals from the worlds of theatre, film, science and technology; and the opportunity to go through the Professional Artists Lab's development process, which includes access to advice and guidance from professional theatre and film artists as well as experts in the fields of science, engineering and technology. Scripts will be judged by an esteemed panel of jurors from both the arts and sciences. Thus far, the judges include two Nobel Laureates: Dr. David Gross (Physics, 2004) and Dr. Alan Heeger (Chemistry, 2000). Additional judges will be announced shortly. Submitted plays must explore scientific and/or technological stories, themes, issues or events. (The competition is not open to plays written in the genre of science fiction.) Entries must be postmarked by Dec. 15, 2005. The winning play will be announced on June 15, 2006. For details about the competition and submission guidelines, visit www.cnsi.ucsb.edu/stage/. For questions or additional information, please e-mail stage@cnsi.ucsb.edu. Please note that all three Archive indices are very long and will therefore take some time to download.
