STORMIN' NORMAN - PREMIERING NOVEMBER 1ST!


That's right - the time has finally come for Norman (and indeed Encompass) to make our film debut!

Stormin’ Norman follows Norman (Christopher O'Shaughnessy), a homeless man living in London. We journey with Norman through the ups and downs of his everyday life until he meets Sarah (Eva Lea), a young woman who dares to break the routine. A film by Paul G Raymond, it is a comedy drama centred on an unlikely friendship between a grieving man and an aspiring musician.

Stormin' Norman will be part of the First Thursday Film Festival at Press Play House in London. If the venue sounds familiar that's because that's also where our next theatre production Who Is Moloch? is taking place in the new year! This is just the start of Norman's journey on the festival circuit, so why not come down and see the film before anyone else? You'll even get to meet the cast and crew!

BARE ESSENTIALS BLOWOUT!

WATCH VIDEOS FROM OUR LAST BARE ESSENTIALS SHOWCASE AND FIND OUT HOW TO TAKE PART!

After the fantastic success of our first showcase we’re once more throwing down the gauntlet to our fellow emerging artists with Bare Essentials II! And just like last time it will take place on The Battersea Barge on the River Thames!

We're asking artists and companies to send us their ideas for a short piece/extract (no longer than 15 minutes) to be performed live at our event. The work can be from ANY genre of performance. We want to show bare bones performance at its best!

Events that nurture and celebrate new talent, instead of feeding it to the sharks
EAT Culture Magazine

Submissions are expected to be technically minimal with basic props and set. The event will take place on Wednesday 14th November. 

Groups/companies and solo artists all welcome. If you have a piece but no-one to perform/stage it, send it along anyway! If chosen, Encompass will help you find a team...or may even take it on ourselves!
Send your ideas/scripts to thinktank@encompassproductions.co.uk with the name of your piece in the subject heading and state the following:

'SOLO' - a solo submission a solo submission which will need assistance in finding cast and creative team

'GROUP/COMPANY' - a submission which will be performed by a group/company of artists that you are affiliated with

This is a great chance to show what you're made of, to meet fellow up-and-coming artists and have a cracking night. We’ll even record it and publicise your pieces online!

DEADLINE FOR ENTRY: FRIDAY 2ND NOVEMBER

This event is in support of Who Is Moloch? by Pamela Carralero.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU!
