Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs

 

I don’t live in London, can I still apply?

Yes, but do think carefully about whether this is manageable & realistic for you. We are a London based organisation & all of the activity takes place in London. At this time, we sadly don’t have resources to cover transport or accommodation.

 

What can I use the £1000 fee for?

Whatever you want. Pay yourself, your collaborators. Maybe there are some set, costume or production elements which this fee can support. 

 

Do I have to attend the workshops?
Yes. These are part of the programme & you are expected to attend. 

 

How long does my piece need to be?

Between 15-20 minutes. If the work you’re developing is longer, this might mean sharing an extract instead of the whole work. 

 

Is the £1000 the same for solo, duo or group applicants?

Yes. Regardless of whether you are a solo, duo or small collective- the commission fee is still £1000. It’s important to consider this before you apply & be sure that this fee feels equitable/realistic for your circumstance. 

 

I’m not available for the sharing dates, can I still apply?
No.


Myself or a member of my team has access requirements, can you accommodate this?
Yes. Please give us as much information as you can in the application about what it is you need so we can best support your participation.
