Poetry Performance Incubator Auditions
07/25/2013 @ 6:30 PM - 9:30 PM
The Poetry Performance Incubator is seeking poets and other writers to collaborate on the creation of a workshop production of Like Bread, a new theatrical performance about making space for a creative life. We are particularly interested in working with poets from a broad range of aesthetics, backgrounds, ages, and Chicago communities.
Inspired by the Roque Dalton poem “Like You,” Like Bread will explore the relationship between writing and social struggles, the way that writing can transform a life, and how challenging (but joyful) it can be to claim oneself “a writer.”
Noted director (and longtime Incubator artist lead) Coya Paz will facilitate this project. The Guild is particularly interested in working with a multigenerational cast, and writers of all ages are encouraged to audition.
To Audition:
Auditions will be Thursday, July 25, 6:30 PM, at Free Street Theatre (1419 W. Blackhawk St). Audition slots are 30 minutes and will include you giving a 2-3 minute recital of your original written material, on-the-spot writing from prompts, and group theatre exercises. The call back will be Saturday, July 27, and by invitation only. The call back will be a full group audition for two hours.
To schedule an audition, email [email protected] with “Auditions” in subject line, and give your name, phone number, and what time(s) you’re available July 25, 6:30pm-8:30pm. Then we’ll call you back to schedule your audition.
