New Initiative and Resident Companies Announced at The Bunker

New Initiative and Resident Companies Announced at The Bunker

New Initiative and Resident Companies Announced at The Bunker

The Bunker Theatre are delighted to announce two exciting inaugural resident theatre companies and a brand-new initiative which will give six emerging theatre companies the opportunity to showcase world-premiere work this summer.

Damsel Productions and Pint-Sized will be The Bunker’s resident companies working with the venue on its outreach, programming, and script reading work. Damsel Productions recently presented Damsel Develops and will be producing the full-length production of Izzy Tennyson’s Grotty which opens at The Bunker in May.

Pint-Sized have hosted six highly successful play-nights at the venue since October 2016 where they have premiered 40 new short plays from some of the country’s most interesting emerging playwrights. Led by Hannah Hauer-King and Kitty Wordsworth, Damsel Productions is an all-female theatre company that aims to contribute to a larger and crucial movement, addressing both the underrepresentation and misrepresentation of women in theatre. The company brings together female directors, producers, designers and all other female artists to breathe life into scripts exclusively written by women.

       

Alongside these two Resident Companies, Artistic Director Joshua McTaggart has also introduced an exciting new initiative called Breaking Out where The Bunker will programme a season of work created by six of the most ambitious and adventurous emerging theatre companies in the city. These companies will be chosen through an application and pitch process overseen by The Bunker’s core creative team including Damsel Productions and Pint-Sized.

Chosen companies will have a 4-week residency at The Bunker and will each receive mentoring from The Bunker team, access to free rehearsal space and bespoke PR and marketing support. Companies have until Friday 23rd February at 12pm to submit an application for Breaking Out. For more information about eligibility and the application form, visit https://www.bunkertheatre.com/get-involved/breaking-out.
