Shakespeare Globe Centre of Canada
International Artistic Residence for Professional Theatre Artists: The
Christopher Plummer Fellowship Award
Deadline Extended to January 10, 2003!!
The Shakespeare Globe Centre of Canada is accepting audtion applications
for the 2003 International Artistic Residence for Professional Theatre
Artists at the Globe Theatre in London, England.
Founder Sam Wanamaker called Shakespeare's Globe 'a stage for the
world'. The International Artistic Residence for Professional Theatre
Artists aims to introduce the unique playing space of the faithfully
reconstructed Globe Theatre to actors from the different creative
traditions of its affiliated Shakespeare Globe Centres around the world.
It forms part of an ongoing commitment to make Shakespeare's Globe a
truly international centre for the understanding and practice of
Shakespeare in performance. The International Artistic Residence runs
from Monday 18th August to Tuesday 16th September 2003 (a total of 31
nights from Sunday 17th August to Tuesday 16th September inclusive). It
aims to share the discoveries of the Globe's first six full theatre
seasons with professional artists seeking to extend their experience of
the work of Shakespeare and his contemporaries.
For twelve professional theatre artists (two from each international
centre), preferably with previous experience of classical acting in a
major theatre. All participants must be happy to work as part of an
international company, and should relish the freedom to explore lessons
learned from the Globe architecture with the resident Masters of
Play/Words, Voice and Movement.
Please note: this programme is not targeted at teachers and education
practitioners, but primarily focused on stage and performance techniques
for the working actor. It is not designed to turn artists into English
Globe actors - merely to share the experience of the Globe so that
participants can return to their own culture of playing Shakespeare with
something to share of the experience of original playing conditions,
having enriched their own acting careers during the programme. In
selecting the 2003 participants, Shakespeare's Globe and SGCs aim to
achieve a balance between countries and genders.
Please send your photo and resume, along with a brief statement
outlining what you know of the Globe Theatre in London, why you are
interested in the Artistic Residency program, and how you envision using
this training once you are back in Canada, to:
