    Lovesong

    19:00, Tue 3rd March 2020 - Sat 7th March 2020 at Corpus Playroom
    Lent Week 7

    Applications to PRODUCE and ASSISTANT DIRECT

    'I turn off the light and go to my bed. I read. I wind my clock. I say no prayers. I sleep. And in my sleep...
    In my sleep...
    I am young again.'

    'Lovesong' tells the story of one couple, from two different points in their lives - as young lovers in their twenties and as worldly companions looking back on their relationship. As an old woman enters a cupboard only to emerge as her younger self, an abundance of vodka and sandwiches is consumed, and a peach tree becomes the only true sign of permanence, lives collide and time dissolves in this hauntingly beautiful exploration of love, memory and loss.

    I need a lovely producer and assistant director to help me bring this stunning four-hander to life in the Corpus Playroom!! Nothing is needed except enthusiasm - I'm looking for people as excited as I am to make this happen!

    Summer Vacation

    Applications to Direct, Musical Direct, and Produce

    We are unbelievably lucky to have an established annual slot at the beautiful Minack Theatre in Cornwall. Each year for over 40 years, Cambridge students have mounted a production of one of Gilbert and Sullivan’s operas in this unique and breathtaking open-air theatre carved into the cliffs at Porthcurno. This year, we will be putting on H.M.S. Pinafore, a thrilling but lighthearted tale of love and class, and one of Gilbert and Sullivan's best-loved works.

    We're seeking and enthusiastic, skilled, and committed Director, Musical Director, and Producer to bring this show to life. Applications may be made by individuals for one of the three roles, or by teams. See below for further details - completed applications should be sent by email to secretary@gands.org.uk by 4pm on Sat 18th January.

    The Director will have responsibility for the overall creative vision of the show, and for leading the majority of rehearsals. They will also be responsible for selecting and managing the creative team (Assistant Director/Choreographer/etc.) and for liaising with the Producer and technical team to ensure their vision is executed.

    Applications for Director should include:

    • Why you want to direct H.M.S. Pinafore
    • Your plans/ideas for the show
    • Any relevant experience you have (directing or other roles in theatre)
    • Any challenges you anticipate in preparing this production (e.g. due to the short rehearsal period, or the unconventional venue) and how you would address them
    • Your availability in September 2020

    The Musical Director will be responsible for all musical aspects of the production, including conducting the show, leading musical rehearsals, sitting on the audition panel, and recruiting the orchestra. They will also select and manage the musical team (Assistant Musical Director/Répétiteurs/etc.) and work closely with the Director and Producer to ensure the show is an overall artistic success.

    Applications for Musical Director should include:

    • Why you want to musical direct H.M.S. Pinafore
    • Any musical plans/ideas you might have
    • Your experience in music and/or theatre
    • Any musical challenges you anticipate in preparing this production (e.g. due to the intensive rehearsal period, or the unconventional venue) and how you would address them
    • Your availability in September 2020

    The Producer will oversee all aspects of the production, and have particular responsibility for logistics, budgeting, and publicity, as well as facilitating communications within a large company and ensuring the production as a whole is well planned and executed.

    Applications for Producer should include:

    • Why you want to produce H.M.S. Pinafore and/or why you want to produce a show at the Minack theatre
    • Any particular plans/ideas you have for the production
    • Any relevant experience you have (producing or other roles in theatre)
    • The challenges you anticipate in any area of this production and how you would address them

    Deadline: Saturday 18th January 16:00

    Identity Crisis

    21:30, Wed 19th February 2020 - Sat 22nd February 2020 at Corpus Playroom
    Lent Week 5

    Applications to Produce/ Assistant Direct

    Told through a combination of sketches and comic monologues, and with a healthy disregard for the fourth wall, Identity Crisis aims to take a relatable, character-driven look at a contemporary issue through a comic lens.

    To get this show on the road, it first needs a prod team, which is where you come in! No experience is necessary – just enthusiasm, ideas, and a password with at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase latter, one number, one symbol, and one kitchen utensil.

    Producer:

    Please mention:
    • Why you want to be involved with the show
    • Any previous producing experience you have (none necessary! With the show being a Corpus late, production shouldn’t be too much work, so if you’re new to producing/ would like to try it for the first time, this is probably a pretty good place to start)
    • What your availability next term is like
    • Anything else you think might be relevant

    Assistant Directors:

    Please mention:
    • Why you want to be involved with the show
    • Any ideas you have for the show (Since this is a devised piece and it hasn’t been written yet, ADs will be quite involved in the writing process. There is currently a vague plot outline but there is a lot of room for flexibility)
    • Any previous directing experience you have (again, none necessary! However, it would help if you have at least some experience of writing and/or performing comedy before)
    • Any particular challenges you think the show might encounter, and how we might overcome them
    • What your availability next term is like
    • Anything else you think might be relevant

    Deadline: Sunday 1st December, 23:00

    It is quite a tight turnaround so if you need a little bit more time to put together an application or if you have any questions then please do ask! You can message me on facebook or drop me a line via email (ap2099@cam.ac.uk) and I’ll get back to you!

    Deadline: Tuesday 1st December 23:00
