Now a regular feature in Stratford Circus' programming (coming around approximately once a season) Saturday Scratch is an opportunity for artists to showcase new or early-stage work in a supportive environment.
The next Scratch will be on 10 November 2012, and is open to established and emerging circus artists who want to share new and developing work. Artists can apply to be part of the show line-up, and those successful will be invited for technical rehearsals 9 & 10 November. Stratford Circus will supply technical support including a rigger. A professional photographer will be on hand to capture high-quality images during the dress rehearsal. Stratford Circus is, however, unable to pay fees or expenses to participating artists.
Saturday Scratch is a curated event and invitations will be offered to artists on the basis of an application outlining experience, accompanied by links to examples of work. Artists will need to be available to participate in a full schedule at Stratford Circus from 9-10 November 2012.
For an application form e-mail rae@stratford-circus.com The deadline for all applications is 22 October 2012.
