Opportunities at Exeter Phoenix
Apply for the February Scratch Night
Deadline: 10am, Mon 13 Jan
Got an idea that needs a platform?
Exeter Phoenix Scratch Night offers artists in need of an audience a chance to stretch their ideas and the opportunity to test their work in the Phoenix Auditorium, along with £150 to help develop their idea and a small amount of rehearsal space before the Scratch Night.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:
Whether you're currently working on a show and there's a new bit you'd like to get in front of an audience, or you've had an idea ruminating that is ready to be put in front of an audience – we'd like to invite you to apply to Scratch Night, an opportunity to test up to 20 minutes of live work. If your work is in SUPER early development, and you'd like more of a workshop setting to test your work, come along to Little Scratch on the last Wednesday of each month (except December).
Please note applications will require a Google account to access the form. If you are having trouble accessing this form, please email Katy at katy.danbury@exeterphoenix.org.uk
