Callout for Participants
Calling all LGBTQ+ movers, ravers and creators: come and join a creative workshop with grime artist Debris Stevenson and participate in a live performance of The Write to Rave at Warwick Arts Centre!
The Write to Rave is an ambitious new immersive theatre show currently being developed at Warwick Arts Centre about the political power of raving. Who has the right to rave, to dance and move freely? What is it to feel truly free in your own skin? It follows the journey of a group of humans trying their best to rave while the world tries its best to stop them.
We need a group of willing participants to come and see behind the scenes of an artistic rehearsal process and become active participants in the performance. You will be required for the full day on Friday 1 October from about 10am, through until the performance which runs from 6 - 6.45pm in the Studio Theatre at Warwick Arts Centre. You will learn more about the show and join a professional rehearsal, which will involve you performing movement and choreography. You do not need any prior experience of performing, just an interest in the themes of the show and willingness to participate.
