Opportunities
For Amplify members
Book an artist development 1-1 (please also book onto the corresponding co-working session)
One to one chats might be about a project, funding application, industry and career advice and recommendations and / or enquiries about support in kind / use of space in the building. It is a good idea to come with an idea of what you want to talk about to make the most of the time.
If you are looking for support with a funding application and wish to send through any documents in advance of the meeting, please email beccy.dsouza.01@nottinghamplayhouse.co.uk.
These appointments take place during co-working sessions (whether online or in person). If online, you will be able to go into a break out room with Beccy, if in person they will take place in Company.
The co-working sessions are also a good place to meet fellow artists and potential collaborators, you can book on to them (with or without having booked a 1-1) here for online and here for in person.
We open our ideas submissions window yearly, providing an opportunity for artists with a connection to the Midlands to present their ideas, whatever the stage of development they are in, and ask for support.
The most recent submission window closed on 19 March. All artists will be contacted by the end of April.
Do you want to create new stories for the stage? Are you a first-time writer or an early-career playwright with no more than two plays produced?
