Desert Island Designs
Theatre Directors Scotland are reaching out to the Envelope Room to spark creative conversations between directors and designers working in Scotland.
To start you off we offer the question: What would be your Desert Island Design; a favourite design of all time, or favourite play or idea that excites you because of its design possibilities?
At a time when we can't physically create new work together, we invite you to take the time to consider what would your dream stages look like and who you might create them with. This is a networking opportunity.
To participate please fill in this form and TDS will be in touch shortly. https://forms.gle/sP8XkHKr7bWwv4KY7
There is no deadline, applications accepted on a rolling basis. You will be matched with an appropriate director as soon as possible.
TDS have recently run a similar networking opportunity matching playwrights and directors, this opportunity is unpaid but might interest recent graduates, emerging designers or those looking to make new connections during lockdown.
You and the director you are matched with will agree mutually acceptable terms when you are matched.
If you have further questions please contact us and we can connect you with Kol (chair of TDS).
