Bristol Ferment needs you!

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

Bristol theatre-makers are currently fermenting work at Bristol Old Vic and are in need of your assistance!

There is, for the next couple of weeks (2 - 17 July), an eclectic selection of plays, poems and performances being showcased in different parts of the building - all of which are in various stages of development. Be it a rehearsed reading or an embryonic idea looking for clarification, the artists involved are in desperate need of feedback, comment and analysis. The whole purpose of the initiative is to help nurture local talent whilst simultaneously providing inexpensive entertainment for audiences. With tickets ranging from £4 to FREE, we want to encourage you to become a part of the theatre-making process.

If you have seen any of the shows we would love to hear your thoughts… however candid! Feel free to post comments on this thread, and we can pass them on to the artists involved. You can also post comments on the main website HERE, or alternatively do it the old-fashioned way with pen and paper and post it into one of the boxes around the theatre.

You feedback is ESSENTIAL to Bristol Ferment so please, don’t be shy!

The Writers Room Open House Day

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

Writing for Performance - Open House

Bristol Old Vic
Thu 15 May 2008
6.30pm 8.30pm

Scriptwriters in the region are invited to an evening at the Bristol Old Vic, hosted by Board members, Dick Penny and Catherine Johnson.

This open and informal session will be an opportunity for writers to discuss with Dick and Catherine the future development of new work at the theatre, and to launch a debate on how the theatre might be able to facilitate the making of that new work.

To support this event, the theatre will be adding a new section to its website specifically for writers. The Writer’s Room, in the first instance, will contain a blog where you are invited to ask questions, post comments and start debates prior to the meeting. For those of you who may not be able to attend the session, a podcast of the meeting with Dick will be published after the event.

This event forms part of the ongoing process of consultation with all our ‘audiences’ and is only the beginning of what we hope will be a useful and continuous dialogue.

To confirm attendance on the 15th please email Sharon Clark on clark.sharon@blueyonder.co.uk
