The Scrap is a monthly open-call night for new writing, designed to showcase freshly developing texts for performance, and bring artists together to collaborate and keep their instincts sharp - while celebrating communal creativity! We're currently programming up until May, and looking for actors to workshop script submissions. The Scrap is a one-day commitment. WHAT IS IT? The Scrap works in a hybrid form, with two different categories of showcase: the Scratch and the Jam. The Scratch is for ensembles who have already been preparing a piece to do a work-in-progress performance of their work in front of an audience. For the Jam, we take a short excerpt of a new script, partner it up with actors and a director, and workshop it rapid-fire on the afternoon of the event - before doing a rehearsed reading that night. We're looking for playwrights with a new script they've been working on, who are keen to hear it performed out loud and get some responses from creatives and audiences, but who haven't yet assembled a group to develop it. HOW DOES IT WORK? If you apply as an actor to help jam on a new text, the process is simple: you get the text a week in advance, along with the role you've been allotted. You come on down to The Others in Stoke Newington at 12:30pm on the day of the event. You all say hi to one another. You workshop the play, and present a rehearsed reading that night. You can find a more detailed breakdown of The Scrap on our website, and if you have any questions before applying, get in touch!
