Two Actors/Arts Facilitators for New Show, Takeover Festival

Two Actors/Arts Facilitators for New Show, Takeover Festival

Two actor/arts facilitator's wanted for a brand new show 'Plastic Band', an immersive children's show, followed by an interactive workshop. Being performed as part of The Takeover Festival at The Junction in Goole in March, this show has been selected by local children.

About the show:
The year is 2142! Single use plastic has taken over Goole! So much so, we have lost everything! Boothferry Road has been taken over by bottles. Goole Train Station, covered in straws! And trapped underneath all of our plastic rubbish is every guitar, drum kit and piano on Earth! How will we ever hear proper music again? Join Tate and Madonna, as they explore making music out of plastic we as a nation have built up around us. Want to be a member of Plastic Band? We would love to rock out with you!

Character Description:
Tate: a young boy who is obsessed with instruments and old originals bands like Queen and The Beatles. He is curious, easily influenced and is trying to fit into a world he feels he doesn't belong.

Madonna: a strong young lady; a misfit who is not phased by not fitting into the crowd. She is great at art and is creative.

The show's duration is 30 minutes and is followed by a workshop, which is 45 minutes and is facilitated by the actors in the show. The workshop plan is pre-written and involves the audience making their own instruments out of plastic and jamming together.

PLEASE NOTE: you do not need to play an instrument but there is singing involved in the show.

Requirements:
Available on the 13th March 2020 for two performances/workshops (1.30pm and 6pm)

Availability in the week leading up to the performance for rehearsal (in Hull, times and dates TBC)

Have your own PLI
DBS checked
Experience in performing children's theatre/facilitation is a massive plus but not essential!
