One Hour March 2015

04/03/2015

Diversity is key to creativity.

"...you can throw money at trying to entice new or different audiences into theatre, but why should they come unless they see themselves reflected on stage and in every aspect of a theatre or company’s work? At last we are waking up to the fact that diversity has real value: it doesn’t just ensure survival, it can genuinely invigorate arts organisations and be a spur to creativity and new ways of thinking."

Lyn Gardner: As the Stage 100 list shows, our theatres are dominated by the white, male middle classes – but we are finally waking up to the fact that true diversity, not box-ticking, can invigorate arts organisations

Ahead of 'One Hour' this Friday - where we will be presenting the work of three female writers - take a look at this article on the marginalisation of women writers in the theatre.

We want to make sure to represent female writers at every 'One Hour' event. It's also important to us to encourage writers of every gender, ethnicity, age, social and cultural background to be heard, so that in the future we won't talk about writers or creatives being radical simply because they are not white or male.

At the National Theatre and beyond, female playwrights’ work is still frequently hived off in smaller spaces and slapped with the ‘radical’ tag. Are our leading theatrical institutions built on suspect foundations?

The next 'One Hour' will now be taking place on Friday 6th March in the Soho Theatre Upstairs Studio.

'One Hour' is supported using public funding by Arts Council England.

TO ALL WRITERS; we’re still accepting submissions for the next One Hour event! The deadline is this Thursday 12th February 10am. If you want the opportunity to present your work to an industry audience at Soho Theatre, get your plays/screenplays in to us: [email protected]

Great opportunity for playwrights to get one-to-one mentoring.

How do you persuade a theatre company to take on your play? How can you maximise the power of your pitch? Have you sent out a great play, but no-one...
