RAINBOW PROPOSALS

Call for proposals for Director and Production for the RAINBOW Young performers project 2012.

PANSA (KZN) is calling for proposals for Director and Production of the 2012 RAINBOW Young Performers Project. The project is calling for production ideas and a director. The selection of both production and director will be made based on the following criteria (NB: failure to comply will result in immediate disqualification):

The production should be suitable to be played by a predominantly high school cast. This means that there should be enough good roles for young people to be able to extend themselves both musically and dramatically. The rights for the production should be available and the production should have some commercial potential. The production should have some theatrical value in the context of theatre in South Africa and should be able to be produced to the highest possible standard within a very tight budget.

The Director should have a proven professional track record at the highest level as well as proven experience in working with young people at the highest level. The Director should be fully available for the rehearsal period which will last for at least three months over consecutive weekends, and a few weeks in the holidays. The Director should have a proven track record in Production management, including managing the Set Design, Costume design, Lighting design and Musical Direction. The Director should be cognizant that the fees for directing are in keeping with a charity event, which in the case of this project is approximately a third of the going rate for musical theatre

A one page proposal, motivation and CV should be sent to Kovilen Moodley, PANSA (KZN) co-ordinator by email kovilen@pansa.org.za by close of business on January 31, 2012.
