Be part of one of our largest outdoor theatre events to date, performing to thousands of people with world famous German outdoor theatre company Actiontheater PAN.OPTIKUM.
Actiontheater PAN.OPTIKUM, who are one of the leading companies in Europe for creating truly spectacular large scale outdoor performances, are leading on the creation of this performance which has been co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union.
Since December 2015 in ten cities all over Europe, young people from each place were selected to develop an original piece of outdoor theatre in public spaces local to them. The group from Newbury performed their show in August 2016 on Greenham Common.
From June 2017, 27 of the young people, up to three from each city, have been selected from the original 200 to meet each other in Freiburg, Germany to create the first European street theatre company and produce a large scale spectacular performance, touring through Europe and overseas.
We are looking for volunteers aged 15+ to work alongside the newly formed company to perform with the show in Newbury on Saturday 12 August at Goldwell Park. It promises to be one of the largest and most spectacular performance that the Corn Exchange has ever presented in Newbury.
The piece is a dance/hip-hop piece so volunteers do need to have some dance experience or at least be physically fit and feel confident they can remember choreography.
This project is for you if:
- You would like to perform to a crowd of thousands of people in Newbury
- You have dance experience or are relatively fit and feel confident learning choreography
- You are interested in being part of this once in a lifetime opportunity to be part of the EUs largest street theatre
- You are aged 15+
- You are dedicated and can commit to attending all the rehearsals and performance days (see table below)
- You are happy to work outside in any weather
For more information and/or to register to take part, please contact hello@101outdoorarts.com
The rehearsals will take place at:
- Corn Exchange, Market Place, Newbury, RG14 5BD and Goldwell Park on Northcroft Lane
- Please bring food and water, and be prepared to work outside in any weather
The performance will take place at Goldwell Park, Newbury on Saturday 12 August at 9.30pm
