What might you create with five days access to Lancaster LitFest’s new auditorium space at the Storey, critical friendships with Litfest’s Artistic Director Andy Darby and Flax editor Sarah Hymas, and a materials/expenses budget of up £500?
LitFest is interested in receiving a written expression of interest that answers that question and inspires them to work with you on your project.
Litfest’s Andy Darby and Sarah Hymas will work with a writer or writers on developing a piece of live literature for performance through a group or series of meetings/rehearsals over five days. They’ll offer their skills and experience, providing an objective eye in the devising and/or development of the piece. The project offers a period of R&D and there is no expectation that a finished work will be produced at this time.
The project will take place in the Auditorium at The Storey, Meeting House Lane, Lancaster LA1 1TH between July – September 2009, with five days of meets or rehearsals with the Litfest team to be arranged at a mutually agreeable timescale.
