*Call for Actors*

*Space Theatre Ensemble, Goa*

* *

 The Space Theatre Ensemble, Goa, is a self-sustaining repertory totally
committed to evolving an artistic practice that is innovative and socially
and politically committed



The Space Theatre Ensemble now invites applications *before 12 noon, April
19th, 2012*, to select 5 actors over the age of 18 and below 65 to join
them in an intensive residency in Goa*, beginning Monday, May 7th, 2012*.



 The purpose of this residency is to develop a new piece, *The Doom* *of a
Thousand Suns*, centred on the hazards and dangers of nuclear energy, an
its intimate relationship with militarism and violence.



The residency is held on a farm at the foothills of the Western Ghats.
Accommodation is clean but basic and may have to be self-constructed by
participants. Good food guaranteed. No mobile coverage is available and
there is no landline. Farm work and cooking are seen as essential
components of the residency, as much as theatre practice.



No auditions are held, and previous theatre experience is not required.
Independent physically challenged people may apply. Excellence in English
is not mandatory. *However, once selected, complete commitment to the
production, its schedules and the team, is expected. *



Email us  with a 350 to 400 word attachment duly marked as *HEY. Your Name.
Your City. *and the text within beginning with the words: *“Hey, my name is
---- from ----  and I want to be a part of this residency because I bring
with me...”*



Applications must be spell-checked and thoughtfully composed. It may help
if you wrote to us as if you were speaking into a recorder and telling us
what you really feel and think about wanting to work with us.



The Space Theatre Ensemble looks forward to hearing from you. We will begin
discussions over email or telephone from

April 23rd 2012.
