Mid career and Established Playwrights Residence
Tebere Arts Foundation Limited will produce a 3 months Mid Career and Established Playwrights Residency where 3 mid-career and or established playwrights are commissioned to create and or develop a new work of theatre or reimagine an old work in a new way as a theatre piece. The Residency will have a series of activities where the selected Playwrights interested in theatre and performance for live audiences will be given an opportunity to work with dramaturgs and where possible stage directors and actors to develop their new work.
The residency will offer dramaturgical feedback for the script development and financial support so that the writers can focus on developing their work. In addition, Tebere Arts Foundation makes connections between the playwright and other theatre stakeholders or spaces that might be interested in the playwright’s work.
