Missfit Mondays - CALL OUT FOR NEW WRITING

CALL OUT FOR NEW WRITING –

missfit monday is a four-month long mini festival celebrating ‘innoventive’ writing in theatre, poetry, storytelling and the moving image/film.

Touchwaves and missfit productions are co-producing missfit mondays, every Monday at the Troy Bar in Hoxton Street from March – May 09. missfit monday is a fundraiser for a new charity called DYS(THE)LEXI that will celebrate, develop and produce the work of dyslexic and dyspraxic writers.

We are looking for artists that are keen to experiment with both form and content, artists that are not afraid of their audience, and artists that have got something evocative to say. We are looking for:

PERFORMANCE POETS

Performance poets will be offered a performance slot of 10-20min depending on material and delivery.

STORYTELLERS Storytellers will be given a time slot of 15-30min depending on material and delivery.

PLAYWRIGHTS

Playwrights will be offered either a reading of their work, or a staged production, depending of the material. Performance nights available are from 1-4 consecutive Monday nights. The producers will provide both the actors and the director, unless the writer has an existing team they wish to work with. The producers will provide a limited amount of weekly rehearsal space.

MOVING IMAGE

Film makers will be offered a weekly screening of their shorts or experimental moving image work. The time slots available are 60sec – 15min max. Please email links to your work, or send in a copy of your DVD. (Contact producers for postal address).
