SEED INCUBATOR

OPEN CALL

SAGA SEED THEATRE INCUBATION PROGRAMME

Saga Seed Theatre is proud to present their inaugural Incubation Programme for Singapore-based playwrights who are looking to develop and present their work.

PROGRAMME AIMS

To create a platform for the presentation of new and/or unstaged works by Singapore-based playwrights which have not had the opportunity for dramaturgical development and/or production;
To bring together independent and emerging theatre directors and practitioners in an honest, nurturing environment to develop new theatrical works and voices and building a sustainable theatre-making processes; and
To build relationships and a network of theatre collaborators.

HOW IT WORKS

We will be selecting 4 scripts to undergo an incubation process that will culminate in a rehearsed reading in the first quarter of 2017, to be directed by our Associate Directors, Tan Liting and Thong Pei Qin.

The scripts will be selected by the team based on artistic merit and potential for development. Each Associate Director will undertake 2 scripts that align with their interests and expertise and be committed to the dramaturgical development of the work, and also work closely with the playwright(s) towards the realisation of the work.

The Incubation Programme will be overseen by Artistic Director Jean Tay and produced by creative producer Mok Cui Yin.

Playwrights will be paid a project honorarium for their commitment and involvement to this development process. In the longer term, Saga Seed Theatre is also committed to working with the playwrights towards a full staging of the selected scripts between 2017-2020.
