Manchester-based theatre company Quarantine are inviting pregnant women from the Greater Manchester region to take part in a new theatre performance project, Spring.
Spring. is the final part of Summer. Autumn. Winter. Spring. – an epic quartet of performances about the human life-cycle and our relationship with time. It will be made in co-production with HOME and Contact and performed 4 times in a specially built theatre space inside Manchester’s Old Granada Studios between Friday 25th March and Sunday 3rd April.
Spring. will be made with and about the women who are in it, as they try to imagine the coming weeks, months and years… It is a piece about about expecting, in both senses of the word, with up to 15 women at various stages of pregnancy asking hundreds of questions about the future, live on-stage.
Quarantine are not looking for actors. No previous performance experience is necessary and there are no lines to learn. The call-out is for women from a truly diverse range of backgrounds who can each bring their own unique voice to the project.
Those wishing to take part will need to be no more than 8 months pregnant at the beginning of April. They should ideally be available to attend the first workshop on Saturday 30 January plus rehearsals on selected weekday evenings and weekends from the week beginning Monday 8 February.
They will also need to be available to take part in all four performances on:
Friday 25 March, Saturday 26 March Saturday 2 April and Sunday 3 April.
This is a voluntary opportunity, but travel expenses will be covered and Quarantine will provide food at all rehearsals.
If you’re interested in being involved, or know someone who might or want to find out more, please contact Kate Daley at kate@qtine.com or phone 0161 839 4392.
The first workshop will be on Saturday 30 January 2016, so please get in touch by Friday 29 January.
