In 2020-21 we will support a group of new creative practitioners from the East Midlands region to gain a close insight into the workings of the company, feed in ideas and benefit from a range of company expertise to support the development of their own work. New Associates will act as ambassadors for New Perspectives, help to spread the word about our productions and programmes, and help shape our future.
Masterclasses
We invite major figures from the theatre and arts industry as part of a wider Artist Development programme to lead targeted sessions. This provides opportunities for both practising and emerging East Midlands theatre-makers to work in a detailed, practical way accessing a range of ground-breaking artists and companies.
Writers, Directors, Artists and Companies
We invest in new writing and production through practical project activities.
Open Pitch is a biennial opportunity to receive support to tour a new rural touring production. Three pitches will receive 3 days development support and the selected pitch will be awarded a commission.
Unsolicited Scripts
We very rarely have the means to produce unsolicited new plays. If you wish to discuss a creative idea please make contact with our Artistic Director, Jack McNamara, with an introductory email, including a short example of your work to info@newperspectives.co.uk.
Our productions are testament to the fact that rural theatre is as relevant, challenging and vital as theatre made for any other environment. Our participatory projects, career defining training and mentoring opportunities for emerging regional talent and rural touring scheme Northants Touring Arts makes tangible difference to people where they live.
Our congratulations go to The Fishermen actor Valentine for recognition at the Black British Theatre Awards 2020 Find out more
