Under this intensive and stimulating residency with WILD RICE, you will have the opportunity to work closely with Ivan Heng, our Founding Artistic Director, as you work towards creating a show of your own. He will support, challenge and encourage you – from the first moment of conceptualisation, all the way through to rehearsals and until the curtain goes up on your show.
Successful applicants will be awarded a grant of up to $10,000 to translate their vision into reality – in the form of three performances before audiences in WILD RICE’s Studio Theatre. WILD RICE will also provide each applicant with all necessary technical support as well as access to rehearsal spaces.
Interested candidates should submit the following to Koh Bee Bee at bbkoh@wildrice.com.sg:
- Latest CV
- A brief bio including any relevant theatre credits (200 words max)
- Proposal for a production of a play of your choosing, including your concept and how you feel it speaks to the contemporary moment, addresses under-explored issues and/or features under-represented communities.
Deadline: 6 May 2020 (Wednesday), 12pm
For short-listed candidates, interviews will take place on 11 and 12 May 2020 via video-conferencing.
