Bright Immersive Ltd

Hi, last week I launched a free online interactive 3D virtual theatre tour, designed to help people - especially students and teachers - stay connected to the magic of the theatre, while the real-world venues remain closed.

But to really convey the MAGIC, a theatre needs performers, right?

So for Phase 2 of this not-for-profit project, I'm looking for volunteers to initially provide audio recordings of their performances to create a life-like atmosphere. It’s also a great opportunity to showcase talent and highlight different drama groups.

Check out the full FB post for full details below.
If you'd like to be part of this or want to find out more, please get in touch – Thanks!

Bright Immersive Ltd
https://www.facebook.com/brightimmersive/

Hi,

With theatres around the world closed, last Monday I launched a free online 3D interactive virtual theatre.

So far, it’s had around 400 visitors and counting! You can check it out or read more about it in this blog post: https://www.brightimmersive.com/post/virtual-theatre-tour

At the moment, apart from a short initial audio clip of a theatre orchestra warming up, the 3D space is eerily quiet!

The theatre has immersive spatial sound and lighting, so for Phase Two of the project, I thought it would be great to give artists/performers an opportunity to reach new audiences via the 3D virtual theatre by including recordings of their performances.

For now, I’m only looking for audio clips, but this will evolve as the project grows. Recordings could include: -*monologues/duologues
*extracts from radio plays
*poetry or prose readings
*songs or music, etc.

All recordings should be less than 5 mins and copyright cleared - See full T&Cs on the website.

This is a not-for-profit project, so all submissions are voluntary. I will, however, credit every performer added to the theatre and include them in publicity.

If you’re 18+ and interested in being part of this pioneering and evolving digital arts project, please share your recording by going to: https://www.brightimmersive.com/submit

If you have any questions please post them via FB or email me: info@brightimmersive.com.

Thanks!

SDC INVITING ENTRIES INTO RECITAL AND READINGS COMPETITION BASED ON FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE THEME

Shropshire Drama Company (SDC) has organised a ‘record a reading’ competition based on the theme of Florence Nightingale.

To commemorate the recent 200th anniversary since her birth and a date that is now celebrated as International Nurses’ Day, people are being invited to submit a recited speech or poem (in part or whole) based loosely on the theme of Florence Nightingale. For example, the piece may be a poem about war, whether by Shakespeare or a present day writer, a Winston Churchill speech or contain the name Florence or the word nightingale; may have been written in the year that Florence Nightingale was born – 1820; or even an extract from one of her books and letters. Self-penned submissions from writers keen to step in front of the camera, as well hose not so keen but who have managed to persuade a friend or family member to read their piece, are also welcomed.

Prizes will be awarded for the winning entries and, depending on government guidelines regarding Coronavirus, SDC aims to organise an evening of performances later in the year. Winners will be announced on 13 August, the date of Florence Nightingale’s passing in 1910.

Entry is free and submissions can be made by individuals or groups of no more than four people, where social distancing has been observed. They should be no longer than two and a half minutes and sent to SDC by 31 July, 2020 using the following media:

1 As an attachment in a message to SDC’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ShropshireDramaCompany
2 File transfer using for example, Wetransfer.com or Dropbox, and emailed to shropsdramaco@gmail.com
3 YouTube link emailed to shropsdramaco@gmail.com

Commenting on the competition, chair of SDC Rosalind Garrard, said: “We are living during unprecedented and extraordinary times, which have not only disrupted SDC’s planned productions but may yet have a devastating on the arts as a whole and in the wider context, may alter all of our lives. To keep positive, to keep performance skills honed and to encourage creativity we are setting up this competition which we hope will stir the imagination and raise the spirits resulting in some truly creative and inspired recitals. We hope that anyone with any sort of dramatic interest will take up the challenge and run with it!”

For more information email SDC at: shropsdramaco@gmail.com.

Every Other Weekend ONLINE CASTING

The story of our project is about a young boy Adil who is seeking to rekindle a broken relationship with his dad Nas, but loses hope through the fearful journey the night unfolds. Whereas Nas is trying to seek another delay in his long line of debt with his drug-dealing bosses. With Adil’s naive call to action in trying to impress his father, he sees a glimmer of hope in rekindling their relationship. However, the opportunity quickly diminishes and is left to where it starts off.

We are on the hunt to find a young actor to take on the role of Adil. He is meant to be an 11 year old boy, with the ethnical background of a British South-Asian. The themes we explore in this story are relevantly important to today’s world, as well as taking note of the UK gang-culture. These themes have a tendency to alleviate kid’s childhoods towards the wrong direction and this is where we find solace to the matter with the story we are going to tell. We are looking for someone who could play the role with the capabilities of diversity in his artillery of emotions, authenticity to his relation with the character Adil and maturity necessary to fulfil the performance needed to be delivered. As you know, it is difficult to cast a young actor who can memorize lines and choreography accordingly. We thought about casting a 13 year old who looks 11, which is why we chose to approach Drama groups. We really hope we find our Adil in your talented pool of students.

The auditions would have to be done through self-recorded tapes, then we would proceed to virtual auditions.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Warmest Regards,

‘Every Other Weekend’ Team

CASTING ADVERT
Production Title: Every Other Weekend
Production type: Short Film
Paying: Paying Job
Location: London (specific locations are TBC)
Duration: 4 day shoot + 4-5 rehearsals
Shoot Dates: (TBC) 28th August - 2nd September.
Deadline for Applying: Late June *

Production Details:
We are producing a short film called ‘Every Other Weekend’ prior to us commencing our fully funded feature film.
We are students from the London Film Academy, that run a professional set and ensure the safety of all cast and crew.

Story Outline:
Story of a young boy Adil is seeking to rekindle a broken relationship with his dad Nas. His dad is trying to seek another delay in his long line of debt with his drug-dealing bosses. With Adil’s naive call to action in trying to impress his father, he sees a glimmer of hope in rekindling their relationship. However, the opportunity quickly diminishes.

The shoot will take place over three locations around London. Likely to be in the same vicinity.

Due to these circumstances, casting for these roles will have to take place through self-recorded tapes.

The Director would also like to have 4-5 rehearsals with the actors for Adil and Nas, prior to the production. This will help build chemistry and confidence in the young actor’s performance prior to the hectic scenery of a film set.

Character Descriptions:

Character: Nas
Age Range: 35- 40
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: South Asian (Indian/Pakistani)
Characteristics: Is a bad role model. He is the wrong a father should not be. Initially you witness a kind hearted individual but he is incapable of taking care of his son and is frankly immoral.

Character: Adil
Age Range: 11-13
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: South Asian (Indian/Pakistani)
Characteristics: Adil is a shy young boy who has the naivety traits you would imagine of a young kid trying to seek his father’s love. He is seeking to rekindle his broken relationship but when he discovers his father continuing to be a drug dealer, he loses hope in the rekindling of their relationship. He gains his maturity by defining right from wrong on his own.
Specifications: Standard British accent.

Character: Deano
Age Range: 30-35
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: African Caribbean
Characteristics: Looks tough, is mean and gritty. Deano is Slim’s right hand man, who keeps an eye on Nas. Between Slim and Deano, Deano seems to be softer in his ways, even though he is a part of this aggressive business.

Character: Slim
Age Range: 35- 45
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: African Caribbean
Characteristics: He’s the authoritative, abusive antagonist of the story. He is the striking, realistic imagery a drug lord would actually be in real life. No morals, inflicting abuse on others that don’t comply with him.

The Nine to Five with Stacey Dooley

Hello!

My name is Charles, I work for Twenty Twenty, the award-winning TV Production Company behind Gareth Malone’s The Choir and A House Through Time.

After the hugely successful first series of The Nine to Five with Stacey Dooley, Twenty Twenty are looking for a new group of teenagers who are eager to go on the work experience trip of a lifetime. Our series will only be filmed when it is safe to do so following all UK Government Coronavirus guidelines and after the current restrictions have been lifted.

We are hoping to film the new series in the late summer (TBC) and will take five teenagers into a variety of industries that are crying out for young workers. It will be the ultimate work experience, offering those taking part the chance to learn some real life lessons. Living away from home in shared accommodation, the teens will learn how to budget and stand on their own two feet!

Our series was a huge hit with our audience with over a million views on BBC Iplayer and it proved to be an insightful and entertaining watch!

You can enjoy the first series on BBC IPlayer here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/p06zhf9j/the-nine-to-five-with-stacey-dooley

We are looking for teenagers aged 16-18 years old who are up for a challenge and feel that they could benefit from the work experience trip of a life time! It would be great to hear from anyone interested!

If you or any of your colleagues can think of anyone that would be perfect for the show, we would love to hear from them! You can encourage them to get in touch by emailing ninetofive@twentytwenty.tv

Best wishes,

Charles

Space Adventure Television Gameshow

Our show is currently scheduled as a Summer 2020 project and we are aware that dates may have to change as we follow all current and ongoing guidance. We hope that this may give parents and children something fun to look forward to and take part in later in the year. Our team love receiving applications and videos from interested Junior Astronauts and their parents!

I’m a producer at Wall to Wall Media, who are part of the Warner Bros. international television group and are based in London, who specialise in both scripted and unscripted series. Productions range from the internationally acclaimed genealogy series Who Do You Think You Are?, to the highly rated ITV factual format Long Lost Family, hit ITV entertainment series Little Big Shots and C4’s Child Genius, as well as Oscar-winning feature documentary Man On Wire.

We are currently producing an exciting new children’s space travel action adventure game show.

We are looking for teams of 3 children aged 10-12 friends, classmates, family members – who think they have the right stuff to take part in an exciting competition. In this series, each team participates as junior trainee cadets in a selection of physical and mental challenges based on the thrilling world of astronaut training. They will compete in a variety of individual and team games – some high off the ground, some underwater, some on dry land - with the hope of winning a remarkable space prize package.

From our research, we can see how interest in the world encourages children to challenge themselves and, as this is fundamental to our show, and we wondered if the programme may be of interest to your network of parents and teachers. We would love to hear from them and if it feels appropriate at this time we would be grateful if you are able to help spread the word to parents on our behalf or share our flyer on any relevant social media platforms or networks that you may have.

For more information go to spaceadventurecasting.com
Parents must apply on behlaf of their children
Must be 10-12 years of age as of 15th July 2020 and legal residents of teh country fromwhich they are applying. Other eligibilty requirements apply.

Please note, we are conducting all forms of auditions remotely via Skype or FaceTime - whatever is most convenient for our applicants - and plan to continue the application process during these challenging times. Filming is not due to commence until the summer.

If selected to participate in the series, we will cover all travel, accommodation and living expenses while you are with us in the UK. If the team makes it through to the final rounds, we will also cover the same for the filming in the USA as well. Please note we follow advice as to when it is safe to travel.

Covid-19 Production Cancellations

To all our member societies,

Huge sigh - what can we say?

Clearly the latest pronouncement (16th March 2020) from the Government has put the tin lid on many of your forthcoming productions and we are more than sorry to hear it.
So far, the announcement is not mandatory which will of course make any insurance claims invalid. We fully appreciate that this will cause a great deal of hardship across the board. Please let us know if you have cancellations that are entered into the Festival (sue@gmdf.org and cc jude@gmdf.org) and we will organize refunds or carry forwards if you decide to postpone your production(s). If you require a refund please include your Society’s bank details in order that we can make a BACS transfer.

For those societies who are still to decide on what they intend to do we advise:
• That if you do not operate out of your own theatre that you contact venues to ensure they are not planning to close-down around the dates of your pending productions
• That you contact licence/rightholders to see what their stance is on postponing productions and allowing societies to forward plan for a date in the future.

TicketSource announced today that they will be waiving the £1 handling fee per booking for cancellations.

We will obviously keep a close eye on this awful situation and if we can help in any other way (announcements of cancellations) we will.
Keep going as best you can and stay in touch.

Kind regards
Sue, Paul, Jude and the rest of the GMDF Board.

BBC2 is looking for people for new TV show

My name is Melanie and I am a producer at Pulse Films, an award-winning independent production company.

I am writing to you as we are currently looking for people to be involved in a new series for the BBC exploring what it means to be white in modern Britain.

This message may seem out of the blue, but we want to speak to a wide range of people from across the UK with various backgrounds and stories to tell hence getting in touch.

We will bring eight people together and examine the issues they feel impact what it means to be white – from race to immigration, from guilt to nationalism and beyond.

The series will also test the opinions of the country as a whole by conducting a wide-ranging survey of the British public.

It would be great if you could publish this to your theatre group who would be interested to take part. We are aware that people within your organisation will be from various ethnic origins, but please help spread the word as we want to hear from everyone.

Here is a link to our initial application to be considered for the show Please share: http://bit.ly/30Um3gK

Alternatively, people can email us for more information casting@pulsefilms.co.uk

Thanks so much for any help you can with this very important project.

Casting - PRISONER OF PARADISE

Casting details:
Script available on request
Dates: 1 June - 12 July 2020
Location: Mauritius
Producer: Emu Film
Director: Mitch Jenkins

The Synopsis:
Set in colonial, 1925, Mauritius, at a time of social tension, this is- land paradise is the backdrop for a coming of age love story. Orphaned, 19 year old, LUCY GLADWELL has been sent from England to live under the guardianship of her UNCLE GEORGE HYTON.
Initially seduced by the sumptuous beauty of her surroundings and the charm of her new family, LUCY sees GEORGE as a benign, humorous and loving man who has her best interests at heart. But beneath this veneer of civilisation, lies a dark, violent force, that wants to entrap and rule her.
Struck by LUCY’S beauty, GEORGE has become intent on forging a union between her and ANTOINE CHAMPNEY, their wealthy neighbour and owner of the islands largest plantation. When LUCY falls in love with KRISHNA, an indentured labourer working on ANTOINE’S plantation, she finds herself at odds with her UNCLE and the ways of his world. When GEORGE discovers that his vision of the future is being threatened by LUCY’S illicit tryst, he gives her a simple choice. “Marry CHAMPNEY or else KRISHNA dies!”
On her wedding night LUCY makes her escaped after seeking our KRISHNA, the young LOVERS run for their lives. Stealing a motor bike they are pursued by GEORGE, ANTOINE and their men, both seeking their own forms of revenge. There is no going back.
Like ROMEO & JULIET, no matter how fleeting their time together maybe, the passion & all consum- ing nature of true love is some- thing neither of these PRISONERS OF PARADISE can deny.

The Role:
Krishna Age 19-25
Young, beautiful, fit Indian boy who works the sugar cane fields in Mauritus. Lucy falls in love with him at first sight. The moment we see him, through her eyes, his muscles rippling under the hot mid-day sun, he looks like a god.

Through his beloved teacher, Krishna has learnt to question his fate as an indentured labourer and craves a life in which he is free to love and be loved. He doesn’t want his value to be defined either by the colonials that have enslaved him or the caste system he was born into. An essential part of his journey will be to shed the internalised racism their prejudice has created within his psyche.
It is only through this transition that communion, intimacy and spiritual connection will be possible. Krishna learns how to love because he learns how to be vulnerable.
As a young, virile man he sizzles with charisma and a male potency that bewitches our heroine at first sight. The feelings of attraction are mutual. The dangers for both of them, in engaging in this illicit affair, are life-threatening. But these are risks that both of them are prepared to take in their quest to taste liberty and experience true love.
When they find themselves together, on the run from the same captors, they can at last begin to trust their equality and the mutuality of their feelings for each other. Neither has the upper hand. And with time running out, they shiver into embodied lives.

KRISHNA SHOULD BE VERY GOOD LOOKING AND FIT. IT IS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT FOR BOTH LUCY AND OUR AUDIENCE.

We will be requesting self tapes for this role.

Please send suitable suggestions via email to: assistant@shakyradowlingcasting.com

Playwriting opportunity to share

My name is Alex and I’d like to share with you a writing opportunity for you to pass on to your members.
I work with The Literal Challenge - a small social enterprise that brings together a community of writers, wannabe writers and newbies through creative challenges. Over the last five Februarys, we’ve run five 28 Plays Later, a play-a-day writing challenge that has inspired the writing of 26,649 plays!
Registrations are now open through the website https://www.theliteralchallenge.com/28playslater and will be open until 28 January. There are more details online, on our social media channels, and in the registration invitation here (29-plays-later.pdf).

We’ve had some incredible successes from our previous years; some of those 26,649 plays have gone on to great things, including professional runs at theatres, readings, festivals, and even adaptation into films. And we’re trying to get the word out to encourage as many people to begin, or develop, a relationship with writing for theatre.
The registration fee is £22.22 and all those who complete successfully will receive a share of the money, however, participants also have the choice of doing it without the deadlines and the risk of disqualification, but without the financial incentive.
It would be of huge help to us if you would be kind enough to share this opportunity with your group members, or even connect with us on social media (details at the bottom) and/or share our pinned challenge announcement. Of course, in return, we would be more than happy to tweet, share and shout about any upcoming shows or opportunities you think might interest our community.

I hope that you will be just as excited as I am to share it with your networks.
Many thanks and have a fantastic week,
Alex
