The KZN branch of the Performing Arts
Network of SA (PANSA) is calling for proposals for Director and Production of
the 2013 RAINBOW Young Performers Project.
“We are calling for production ideas and a
director,” explains Mandisa Tshiqi, PANSA KZN Co-ordinator. “The selection of
both production and director will be made based on the following criteria: It
is important to read them carefully as failure to comply will result in
immediate disqualification.”:
PRODUCTION:
a.
It should be a production
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.
b.
The rights for the production
should be available.
c.
The production should have some
commercial potential.
d.
The production should have some
theatrical value in the context of theatre in South Africa.
e.
The production should be able
to be produced to the highest possible standard within a very tight budget.
DIRECTOR:
a.
The Director should have a proven
professional track record at the highest level.
b.
The Director should have proven
experience in working with young people at the highest level.
c.
The Director should be fully
available for the rehearsal period, which will last for at least three (3)
months over consecutive weekends, and a few weeks in the holidays.
d.
The Director should have a
proven track record in Production Management, including managing the Set Design,
Costume Design, Lighting Design and Musical Direction.
e.
The Director should be
cognoscente 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.
f.
NB: The Director should be
based in KwaZulu-Natal. Any proposals from out of the province will not be
considered.
A one page
proposal, motivation, and CV should be emailed to Mandisa Tshiqi, PANSA KZN
Co-ordinator, at kzn@pansa.org.za by 16h00
on February 28, 2013.
