PLAYWRIGHTS WANTED!

Encompass Productions are looking for new plays to be considered for their next season. If you are a playwright with a piece of work you want to see realised then this is for you!

Could you write the next Encompass production?

Encompass are a London-based theatre and production company. Since 2010 they have created work that explores heightened reality, drawing from psychological and cinematic influences. Their productions have received much acclaim from critics and audiences both in London and at the Edinburgh Fringe.

THE BRIEF:

• Cast should have no more than 5 people
• Technically minimal
• Should be able to be produced on a small scale/low budget
• Preference will be given to one-act plays and plays that are close to one hour in length, however all plays will be read and considered.

Stylistically influenced by the cinematic, Encompass investigate mental and emotional states through the creation of original work that seeks to challenge, move and entertain. The company are looking for elemental new plays to add to their growing portfolio of ambitious and innovative theatre productions.

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”

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!

CALLING ALL ARTISTS...WE WANT YOU!

In support of our next theatre production 'Who is Moloch?' by Pamela Carralero we're creating a brand new exciting event, and we want all of you to get involved!

We're throwing down the gauntlet to our fellow emerging artists and asking them to challenge themselves (but don't worry, we will be too!). So what's the challenge? 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 theatrical performance e.g. comedy, drama, physical theatre, performance poetry, interactive...you name it! It can be from a project you are working on OR a completely stand-alone piece. We want this evening to be an exciting, polished showcase of artistic work...and show that even the most bare bones performance can be utterly gripping - all you need is a room and an audience!

Submissions are expected to be technically minimal (i.e. on/off lighting) with basic props and set - there will be a full PA system  for sound/music with two microphones and stands supplied. The performance space is expected to be small - medium sized. 

The event will take place around late July in London. We hope to invite bloggers and select members of the press to review the event as a whole. Encompass will also record each piece and artists will have the option to have their performance published and publicised online. This'll be 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 have some post-show live music and DJs to round off the evening!

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!

THINK YOU'RE UP FOR THE CHALLENGE?

Send your ideas and scripts to thinktank@encompassproductions.co.uk with the name of your piece in the subject heading and please state the following:

'SOLO' - 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

DEADLINE FOR ENTRY: SUNDAY 1ST JULY

WE LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU!
