THE OXFORD SAMUEL BECKETT THEATRE TRUST AWARD 2004

Applications are currently being invited for the 2004 Oxford Samuel Beckett Theatre Trust Award.

The Award

The purpose of the award is, in particular, to help the development of emerging practitioners in the field of experimental theatre and, in general, to encourage the new generation of creative artists. Support is aimed at assisting artists in the transition from fringe to studio spaces. A grant of up to £30,000 and a three week run at the Riverside Studios (Studio 3) in November 2004 will be awarded to an individual or company for a production of their choice. Bold, innovative and challenging projects will be favoured.

Further support will be provided in the following areas:

  • The successful applicant will have guidance and support from the Artistic and Administrative team at the Riverside Studios. One week of technical rehearsals in Studio 3 will be provided before the three week run.

Applicants

  • The successful applicant is likely to have had some professional theatre experience but to have had no more than 1 or 2 productions in a studio or a larger space
  • Those who are or have been recipients of fixed-term funding will not be eligible neither will those in full time education
  • Be U.K. citizens and normally resident in the U.K.
  • Artists from all disciplines are encouraged to apply
  • Shows with a previous production history will not be considered.

Submission

  • A 500 word outline proposal on the production and the ideas behind it
  • A CV, including any grants or awards that have previously been received
  • Selected candidates will be asked for a second submission to develop their ideas further. They will also be asked at this stage to submit a proposed production budget, details of a design and production team and design ideas for the production. Finally, in May, shortlisted candidates will be asked to present their ideas in front of a panel at the Riverside Studios
  • Please state where you heard about the award
