The Theatre Arts Admin Collective invites applications for the 2013 Theatre Arts Admin Collective\u2019s Emerging Theatre Director\u2019s Bursary. This year, 2 bursaries are on offer, supported in partnership with the Baxter Theatre Centre and Distell.<\/p>\n

The Bursary offers an emerging theatre director a mentor, a small budget, a month\u2019s rehearsal space and a week of performance at the Theatre Arts Admin Collective. It is recommended that directors work with already existing scripts as the month-long period has proved insufficient for devised work.<\/p>\n

Previous winners of this bursary include Amy Jephta, Tara Louise Notcutt, Asanda Phewa, Leopold Senekal, Pusetso Thibedi, Kim Kerfoot, Tsepo wa-Mamatu, Thando Doni, Nicola Elliott, Lidija Marelic and Khayelihle Dom Gumede.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is so rare to have a space dedicated to one\u2019s growth as a young director, let alone one which provides the close support required to foster growth within individuals,\u201d said Khayelihle Dom Gumede, one of the 2012 winners. \u201cWith the bursary I was faced with a unique opportunity to immerse myself in the creative process and deal with the pragmatics of the production rather than extraneous elements\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow there aren\u2019t many spaces that can grant you that freedom to just do a show and also learn while working, because the bursary does not only teach you how to put up shows; but there are other aspects that are involved such as budgeting, casting, basically running a show on your own which is what the industry is like in reality\u201d explained Thando Doni, another 2012 winner.<\/p>\n

The 2013 bursaries will run over two periods:
\nBursary 1: 15th July \u2013 17th August 2013
\nBursary 2: 28th October \u2013 30th November 2013<\/p>\n

The Bursary is specifically designed for emerging theatre directors who have had some experience in directing and whose passion is to have a career as a theatre director.
\nIf you are an emerging director and would like to grab this opportunity please submit: a 1-page creative proposal; your CV including 2 references with contact details; and indication of your preferred date to artsadmin@mweb.co.za by Friday 10th May 2013. The Bursary winners will be announced on Friday 24th May 2013.<\/p>\n
