If We Ended This
London, England, United Kingdom
Aim
Help our new theatre company take our debut piece, If We Ended This, to the Camden People's Theatre for this year's Camden Fringe!
ABOUT THE PLAY
If We Ended This is a play about intimacy. Although perhaps we shouldn't say 'about'. This play is our expression of how intimacy governs us and how we respond to it, how we lose ourselves in it and how we sit with the fallout.
After our sold-out preview run at Colours Hoxton this June, we are excited to be taking our debut piece to the Camden People's Theatre from 3rd-8th August. We have been programmed as the first of two shows on their double-bill for the first week of this year's Camden Fringe.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
We are absolutely thrilled by the opportunity to bring the show to a wider audience at one of London's most supportive venues of early-career artists. But we need your help! We are raising £1,800 to cover CPT's hire fee for the week, as well as the fees of our two brilliant actors.
- £1,206 will cover 75% of the advance hire fee for 6 performances from 3rd-8th August 2021 at the Camden People's Theatre.
- £270 will cover the actors' salaries for 3 rehearsals and our get-in/tech, in accordance with Equity session rates.
- £324 will cover the actors' salaries for our 6 performances, in accordance with Equity session rates.
We have £360 of existing funding which will go towards the 25% deposit on the hire fee, but we really need your help to raise the rest!
ABOUT US
Entwine Theatre is a company of predominantly female-identifying, early-career theatre makers, established during lockdown. We foreground women's voices in our work and tell stories that grapple with important and immediate issues, responding to and reflecting on our individual and collective experiences. As a collaborative ensemble, we develop pieces through our own workshop and devising processes. We believe in highlighting the voices of the whole company, and those beyond our rehearsal room. We intend to create work that questions, provokes, and changes the way we view the world, our place within it, and with each other.
We are so grateful to all and any support, whether through donation or simply sharing the fundraiser link! All your help will go towards ensuring fair pay for our artists and the financial sustainability of our new company, as we emerge from an incredibly difficult period for the live arts sector, and early-career artists in particular.
