Are you a director with a burning idea for a family theatre project? If so, Tall Stories are encouraging you to apply for the Tall Stories Directors Award!
Three theatre directors will receive up to £4250 towards a budget to cover a week’s development of their children and family storytelling theatre project; including time in the Tall Stories Studio, as well as mentoring from the leadership team at Tall Stories.
The criteria for the proposals are as follows:
- Involve narration and/or storytelling that directly addresses the audience, e.g.
“Alice followed the White Rabbit down the rabbit-hole, then found herself falling down a very deep well...”
- Are original pieces.
Retellings/adaptations of existing stories are suitable; pieces that use a script that has previously been performed would not be suitable.
- Are for children and families.
All applications must meet all the criteria to be considered.
We encourage applicants from a wide range of backgrounds and lived experiences. Please feel free to mention this in your application (though this is not a compulsory requirement).
We are especially interested to hear from directors who live in Islington (and neighbouring boroughs).
