The Corner Shop project is currently taking place. We interviewed over 30 shop owners, their families and some customers about their lives relating to corner shops. An artistic team is now using the recorded interviews as a starting point to create new theatre. We are working in a disused retail unit into which we will build multiple shop environments and then take audiences on a promenade journey through the world of corner shops. There are many people working on site: two directors, two musical directors, a designer and team of makers to make the set. There are five professional performers.
In addition to them I am seeking people from the community with little or no experience of performing to work alongside them in the production. I am looking for people aged from 12 - 80 from all backgrounds. Corner shops are places where all from our diverse society intersect, and I would like the show to reflect that. We use people within their means i.e. they do what they feel comfortable doing.
We work rehearsals around people's availability. There will be three rehearsals week commencing 15 Sep and three the week after. The performances start on 26 Sep - 4 Oct, two to three times daily. Please see the attached flyer for further information and all the performance dates and times. Rehearsals will be at Unit 16, Queen’s Square Shopping Centre (opposite The Public), West Bromwich, B70 7PG.
There is an element of adventure working site-specifically (not in a traditional theatre) and as an equal with such a large team. The satisfaction comes from knowing your role is just as significant and meaningful as the full-time actor in taking audiences into another world through the show. And inevitably it is much fun, otherwise none of us would do it.
We can pay travel expenses.
Please get in touch with me immediately if you are interested in this rare opportunity and want to be part of something quite extraordinary, on 0121 552 0014/9103 or 07816 679 369.
All the best.
