Open Call: Tip of the Tongue Theatre Company

After a successful month at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2011, followed by a sell-out run in the Carriageworks earlier this year, Tip of the Tongue are beginning work on their next project, and looking for new members to join their cast and creative team!

As a young company based in Leeds we are focused on contributing to regional theatre through devising honest, universal and emotionally energetic work; incorporating real stories of our own and others around us. Our next project will explore the idea of memory and its documentation within the two worlds of reality and fantasy, through the telling of one story embedded amongst hundreds of others. A full brief of this project will be presented at the audition.

Seeing as we devise our own theatre, we have no limitations with regards to numbers, gender, or age of our cast.  We are therefore looking to hear from everyone including performers, musicians, designers, directors, managers, and, ultimately, real people with real stories!

If you think you have the creativity to contribute to our next project, we want to hear from you!

Key Dates

Audition: Saturday 16^th July at 6pm

Main devising period: 2^nd – 13^th July (Mon-Fri 9-5) *

Rehearsals: July-November (evenings and weekends to be agreed once cast is decided)

Production: early November (dates TBC)

There are also further plans for the project which will be discussed at the audition.

This is an unpaid opportunity.

Auditions will be held in the Carriageworks, Leeds Millenium Square (meeting room TBC). Please bring along clothes you are comfortable to move about in, personal stories you are willing to share, and any instruments (serious and silly!) you can play that are transportable.

To sign up for the audition, or if you have any questions about the project or the audition, please email us at tipofthetonguetheatre@gmail.com or give Alison a call on 0113 225 3393.

Thanks for your interest and we will look forward to seeing you there!

* From 2^nd – 13^th July we have been granted free rehearsal space as part of Stage@Leeds’ Professional Artist Development Programme. While we don’t expect the whole company and cast to be there all day every day (don’t worry, we have work commitments too!), we will appreciate as much time as you are willing or able to contribute during this period. This can be discussed further at the audition.
