Litmas Fest

During the month of August, the Pleasance relocates to Edinburgh to run 27 performance spaces at the Festival Fringe, so often their London venue becomes a maintenance hub. Through Litmus Fest, it instead becomes a hive of R&D activity for developing new work and new ways of working. The findings of this development period are then presented over one week at Pleasance Islington, 24-30 Sept 2018.

What Pleasance are offering:

• 2 weeks of rehearsal time for R&D
• 1 day of onstage/technical development
• 1 day to get in followed by 2 days of public performances in the StageSpace studio
• Guidance and mentoring from the Pleasance team

What you need to provide:

• Ambition to develop and experiment with a specific aspect of your practice
• 30-60min work-in-progress performance for a public audience
• Any props or set pieces needed for the performances
• A technician/operator for the performances

Deadline

Mon 21 May at 12noon.
