| Posted: 02 Nov 2012 08:34 AM PDT inamoment & OldJoint Stock Theatre NTI Workshops – Winter Cycle Every Tuesday Evening (Starting 8th January) for 5 weeks; 6pm-10pm NTI Showcase Night Saturday 2nd February - 7.30pm The NTI (New Theatre Initiative) Scheme is a new series of workshops for actors, writers and directors run by Frank Bramwell of inamoment, in association with the Old Joint Stock Theatre, aimed at stimulating the creation of new theatre in Birmingham. Each five-session run of workshops, a mix of study and collaboration, will culminate in a showcase night of full performances of the newly created works at the OJST, and from the best of these Workshop performances it is hoped full-scale production runs will emerge. In each Workshop there will be opportunities for everyone to learn new ways of approaching their particular Theatre craft, and to then use those skills to jointly create direct Theatre. Whether people are relatively inexperienced or not, the team ethos of these Workshops encourages everyone to participate to the best of their ability. The attractive package of support the OJST are offering all work which comes through the NTI scheme (including discounted Theatre rental rates) means that at last a full creation cycle for new plays will be an on-going and real opportunity for all Actors, Writers, Directors, and Theatre Creatives in the region. Frank Bramwell: "The idea for the NTI Workshops came out of a chat with Tim Hodgson of Old Joint Stock Theatre, we have both felt for many years that Birmingham has lacked a way of stimulating the creation of Theatre that results directly in actual performances, and that bringing together Writers, Actors and Directors is where it all starts. We are greatly encouraged by the first two rounds of NTI Workshops." £12 for each Workshop / £50 for all 5 Workshops. If you would like to take part, please email inamoment@hotmail.co.uk including a CV of your Theatre / Writing Experience, and a few words about why you would like to take part. Places are strictly limited to 10 Actors and 5 Writers. |
