| Posted: 18 May 2012 12:22 AM PDT "On Call" is a chance for companies and individuals to meet informally with established producers and enablers, for some impartial advice and exchange about ideas and projects. The On Call will take place at mac birmingham in the Arena Bar from 12noon-2pm on Thursday 24th and Friday 25th May. You can just turn up to take advantage of some free advice, but if you'd like to book a specific slot, please email catherine@capitalplays.co.uk Thursday 24th May Friday 25th May Alison Gagen, Relationship Manager, Arts Council England Alison's professional experience in theatre, prior to joining ACE: she was Press Officer at the New Vic; ran the Education department at Polka Theatre for Children; was General Manager for Sphinx, a touring company specialising in new writing by women, when she worked particularly on moving the company from small to mid-scale touring and on building new coproducing relationships. In her time working in a number of theatre-focused roles at ACE over the last 10+ years she has done two secondments, one to ACE national office in 2004, looking after the then Arts Council Theatre Writing Policy, and one to Warwick Arts Centre, programming the studio, in 2007.

Alison's regional development work at ACE has focused particularly on ways to grow the independent theatre sector – including looking at ways in which venues can work to support that development. She has also been doing some 1-to-1 work with companies, looking at their development needs , their artistic vision and how teams of artists and/or producers work together to deliver that. On Call: Alison will focus on advice/sharing experiences about artist and company development and on coproducing/partnerships between companies and venues – she is also interested in conversations with writers about their development needs.

| New Birmingham theatre festival opens next week Posted: 17 May 2012 11:53 PM PDT Capital Theatre Festival launches its new programme at the mac from 24-27 May. Filled to the brim with exciting plays from up and coming new writers, it's a chance for audiences to experience the very best in contemporary new theatre. Download the brochure here. Birmingham writer Rob Joiner is among three people selected from a national call out in January. His play, Without a Hand to Hold, will be premiered at the Festival, alongside calyx by Newcastle writer sean burn and Cuddles by Bristol-based Joseph Wilde. Rob graduated from the University of Birmingham's prestigious MA in Playwriting Studies in 2010. His plays are described as "bold, lyrical and confrontational" by acclaimed playwright Steve Waters. He currently lives and works in the city, and is delighted that his play was chosen for production: "It's a fantastic opportunity and a big step for me as a writer. My play is a very simple story about two blokes trying to get through life. I work in central library and you see a lot of people who've maybe lost their jobs and people on the margins who are really struggling. You don't tend to see those people on stage, so it's partly about giving them a voice." Capital Theatre Festival started life at The Old Joint Stock Theatre in November 2010. This year, it's evolved into a broad programme of new writing activity, celebrating the talent that Birmingham has to offer, as well as attracting theatre-makers from across the country. From hospital porters to vampires, from the Tyne Bridge to the Isle of Scilly, the plays take the audience on a journey of imagination, while saying something very relevant about the world we live in today. The Festival includes writing workshops from Soho Theatre, Birmingham Repertory Theatre and Stan's Cafe, plus an evening of short plays hosted by Talking Birds and a new slant on the global phenomenon of Pecha Kucha. Students from the University of Birmingham have also been working on plays that will take the audience across the whole building, from the bar to the upstairs toilets. The Festival is run in association with mac birmingham and will run from 24-27 May 2012. Tickets can be booked via www.macarts.co.uk or tel. 0121 446 3232. The full programme can be found on: www.capitalplays.co.uk
