Eligibility
MAKE takes the form of an annual residential laboratory where ideas for new performance work are developed with the mentorship of renowned theatre artists and for some, in collaboration with other participants. MAKE puts emphasis on the generation of new performance work outside of the traditional writer-led model. It is open to artists exploring a variety of dramaturgical models in their work including devised work, documentary theatre work, text-driven work using found or fragmentary texts, music theatre, new writing experimenting with form, digital and interactive presentation formats.
MAKE offers mentorship to develop theatre and performance projects, working individually or in collaboration with other artists. Groups of up to two artists are welcome to apply.
Applications are welcome from Ireland-based and international artists.
The deadline for receipt of applications is 5pm on Monday 14 October. Successful applicants will be advised on Tuesday 22 October.
