'SPARK' 

Burning House are thrilled to announce applications are open for our SPARK PROGRAM - a six month residency to provide a playwright or theatre-maker with dramaturgical support for a project of their choice.

SPARK is a program designed to offer free dramaturgical support to playwrights, dramaturgs or theatre-makers at any stage in their career. This includes one-on-one monthly dramaturgy meetings with working dramaturg/director Rob Johnson (our Artistic Director) for the duration of the program, and a private reading or workshop organised by Burning House. In addition, Burning House will promote any activities the participants are involved in through their online channels for the duration of the six months. Previous participants have gone on to enjoy sold out seasons and have their scripts optioned by production houses in Los Angeles.

We value innovation, ambition and theatricality here at Burning House, and will be looking to choose scripts by authors that exemplify these qualities. Your project may be anything - comedy, musical, libretto, drama and is not limited to strictly script support. Creators of devised work are welcome to apply as well.

To apply, or to make any inquiries, please send a copy of your script (or whatever best represents your work) in pdf. form to burninghousetc@gmail.com. Please also send a resume and a short paragraph detailing what you would like to gain from this opportunity.

Please note that artists who become participants in the SPARK program have no obligation to Burning House after the development – we are here to help and nurture. We look forward to hearing from you!
