Pepperdine Scotland opens submissions for 2016 Scratch Event
Pepperdine Scotland Scratch
Self producing Theatre
Professional development for students in training
Are you a student planning to make
a career in Theatre?
Do you want to learn how to produce your own work?
Do you and/or your classmates have an idea for an original
theatre project?
Part scratch night, part mock funding application workshop,
this is an opportunity to:
● Begin
developing an original piece of writing/devised work
●
Be guided and mentored through the first steps
of applying for funding to produce a project professionally in Scotland.
● Get
feedback from industry professionals on your work.
With
guidance from Pepperdine and emergent Glasgow theatre artists, participation in
the Pepperdine Scotland Scratch event involves not only early development of a
new theatre piece but also learning to summarise a project, learning how to
write to potential producing partners and learning how to fill out a Creative
Scotland Funding Application.
This will culminate in a scratch performance of the project
at the CCA on 29th July to an invited audience and a panel of
industry professionals. Following the performances, the panel will provide responses
on your piece, including feedback on your project summary, draft letter to a
potential producing partner and funding application.
2016 panel TBC, previous panellists have included
representatives from Playwrights’ Studio Scotland, National Theatre of Scotland
and Creative Scotland.
Eligibility: Participants must be students (at any level) with at least one
year of full time training/study remaining.
Please note: this opportunity is about learning how to get
funding for your own work, but is an exercise/mock process. Do not expect to
come out of it with a funding application ready to be sent off.
For further
information or to apply, please contact Alex Fthenakis at producer@pepperdinedrama.com

responses to the questions below.
