Open Floor is an opportunity to get an idea up on its feet in front of an audience and see what does and doesn’t work. It’s about testing, experimenting and getting feedback that can help you take your idea forward in the future.  

We’re open to a good story however you want to tell it, so this time there are no restrictions around genre or intended audience. We’re keeping this quick and dirty so think low tech – basic lighting states, a few sound cues, nothing too complicated – and light touch when it comes to set.

Here’s what we can offer:

• A slot to perform 10-15 mins of material at our Scratch Night on Thursday 20 November
• A fee of £450 for your performance
• Photography from the night
• Feedback from the event
