Creative Opportunities

Apply for the May Exeter Phoenix Scratch Night | Deadline: 10am, Mon 07 Apr

Got an idea that needs a platform?

Exeter Phoenix Scratch Night offers South West based artists in need of an audience a chance to stretch their ideas and the opportunity to test their work in the Exeter Phoenix Auditorium, along with £150 to help develop their idea and a small amount of rehearsal space before the Scratch Night.

What are we 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 and see how it connects, or you've had an idea ruminating that is ready to be put up on its feet – we'd like to invite you to apply to Scratch Night, an opportunity to test up to 20 minutes of live work. We welcome anything from performance art, play extracts, storytelling, comedy, clowning, improv, dance and physical theatre to multidisciplinary work of any genre.

What do you get?

• £150 to support your practice, to use however you choose (you don't need to use it for this project. If you need to take a day off from work to rehearse, you'd like to buy some props or pay someone to help you out - that money is yours and has absolutely no strings attached. Take yourself out for a big celebration after if you'd like!)
• Rehearsal space at Exeter Phoenix, subject to availability
• The opportunity to perform your work in front of a live audience (20 minutes max.)
• Audience feedback, written and/or in-person
• Tech rehearsal on the day of the event (45 minutes max.)
• Access support, if required
