The submissions deadline for the Tron Ambassadors scheme is tomorrow at 3pm. Be sure not to miss out. If you missed the information here it is again.
Tron Ambassadors scheme will give pupils the chance to be behind the scenes working alongside the Participation and Press/Marketing team at the Tron Theatre. It will enable pupils to make a deeper connection with the Tron Theatre and gain a better understanding of the industry.
Why:
Tron Participation would like to give pupils the opportunity to engage with the theatre industry from a different angle. We supply participatory classes in writing, performance and theatre making as well as set and costume design but what about behind the scenes? What about a department, such as Press and Marketing, who are vital in making sure a show has an audience?
What:
Ambassadors will attend ‘meet and greet’ session where they will meet the cast and creative team and then sit in on a ‘read through’. A read through is the first time the cast and creative team read through the play. Ambassadors will work at a press night, attend the reception after the show and be able to speak with industry professionals. Tron Participation will equip Ambassadors with the skills to be able to critique and review theatre through a theatre reviewing workshop. This will enable Ambassadors to review performances seen at the Tron. Ambassadors will blog about their experience and these blogs will be posted on the Tron Participation Glow group as well as the Tron Theatre website. Ambassadors will tell others about shows they have seen via social media platforms and become a steering group for future shows.
How:
The Ambassadors scheme will take six pupils from September 2012-April 2013. To be involved in the Ambassadors scheme you must be committed to attending all scheduled activities. Places are limited and so we ask only dedicated pupils to apply. Interested pupils should write about a piece of music, film or show you have recently seen. It should be no more than one side of A4 and can be written in any form you like.
When:
To be considered for an Ambassadors place you must submit your piece of writing by 3pm on Friday 7th Sept 2012 to deborah.mcarthur@tron.co.uk
