The HotBed is an 8 month program during which a selection of emerging performers and theatre-makers are involved in an extensive professional mentoring initiative. The program for 2008 includes the productions The Caucasian Chalk Circle by Bertolt Brecht and the World Premiere of Portraits of Modern Evil by Melbourne writer Robert Reid. There is also the opportunity to be involved in play readings, secondments to Black Swan Theatre Company mainhouse productions and exclusive master classes with national and international visiting artists.
Each year, a group of new performers and designers (usually 6 performers and a set and costume designer) is selected to participate in the following year's program. Please note that previous participants in The HotBed are able to audition for next year's program.
Applications for performers and designers who would like to be considered for The HotBed Ensemble generally close in early September, with auditions or interviews being held during the same month.
More information about the 2009 HotBed Ensemble selection process, including a page of Frequently Asked Questions regarding the program and audition/interview process will be available about a month before the closing date for applications.
Black Swan Theatre Company through The HotBed aims to mentor, stimulate, challenge and showcase a selection of Perth's most daring and challenging theatre-makers. We are looking for theatre-makers who want to take risks. Who want to push themselves into new arenas. Who want to investigate ways of creating truly unique theatre and storytelling that communicates to the next generation!
