Open Floor Scratch Night: Wed 1 November 2023

Are you working on an idea for a new piece of work that you’d like to test out in front of an audience?

We are looking for Scottish theatre makers to take part in our scratch night, Open Floor, on Wednesday 1 November at The Studio.

Open Floor is an opportunity to get something up on its feet in front of an audience and see what does and doesn’t work. This time we’re opening up the opportunity to theatremakers of all kinds and all genres so go ahead and throw your hat in the ring!

We’re keeping this quick and dirty so think a few lighting or sound cues, basic video projection, nothing too technical.

Here’s what we can offer:

A slot to perform 10-15 mins of material

A fee of £450 for your performance

Professional photographs of your performance

Feedback from the night

Here are the dates:

Closing date: Sun 1 October, midnight
