GRIFFIN ARTIST BLOG

Griffin Artist Card membership is an initiative to increase access to our theatre. This program facilitates the coming together of artists across different disciplines and at different stages of their career. It supports and strengthens a vibrant emerging artist community, as well as acknowledging this community as an important part of the Griffin family and the wider theatre world.

How does it work? We want to offer a place where artists can see work, discuss work and make work.

To see work, we will continue to offer heavily discounted $15 tickets, which can be booked in the first fortnight of all Griffin and Griffin Independent shows, Performance Space shows at members' rates and ticket deals and giveaways to other theatre companies.

To discuss work, we are introducing regular Artist Card events where the community can come together for a drink.

And finally, we are supporting emerging artists in their making of new, bold and exciting work. Griffringe will continue to be a great avenue for artist card holders to display their work. We will also be offering (where possible!) free use of our space for readings and developments.

The Artist Card is a community. It is the glitter glue that brings all the cool amazing arty people together and helps them sparkle. So it's almost like glitter glue squared. If you are interested in joining the artist card outfit, please email artist@griffintheatre.com.au or come along to our next shindig….Hope to see you there!

PACT #3: ENSEMBLE 2012

The PACT Ensemble is an opportunity for interdisciplinary artists to create a new performance work, take part in a program of weekly training and make lasting connections with PACT’s network of artists, peer organisations. 2012 is the tenth year of the Ensemble program and provides professional development for artists aged 18-30yrs.

Registration: Monday 10 April

Audition: Monday 23 April 6-9pm. Please note you must be available for the entire time.

Program: Runs from July – December.

THE PROGRAM

The program runs from July to December and includes a three week production season. The program has several stages of commitment and you must be available for all of the following:

Stage 1 12 weeks creative development and training once a week on Saturdays (7 July and 29 September)

Stage 2 1 week full time live in residency for creative development at Bundanon Trust, NSW (1 – 5 October). Please note you may need to provide your own transport and food for this week.

Stage 3 4 weeks part-time rehearsals – 2 week nights plus Saturdays and Sundays (22 September – 18 November)

Stage 4 1 week full time production  followed by 2 further weeks of performance season (19 November – 8 December)

For all the details go here.

In 2011, the ensemble produced BEGUILED, which created entire worlds in tiny spaces, such as a forest in a stairwell or a cave ok keys in what seemed to be the space of a cupboard. It’s a pretty great opportunity to get in on.
