On 13th July, around 21:30, American Idiot ended. But the revolution just began.
We cannot thank everyone involved and who came to our first full production, sharing in "this modern classic a frenetic, furious vitality all of its own." (Derby Telegraph).
But the question on everyone's lips is... WHAT'S NEXT.
On the 11th July, we shared an evening of conversation, declarations and performance focused on where Musical Theatre is heading and what we can do to ensure a creative and supportive future. The evening featured a panel discussion, featuring special guests sharing their thoughts on where UK Musical Theatre is and should be heading with insights into their work and ambitions. The evening brought together a variety of Creatives and Professionals at the launch of our exciting plans. You can watch Matt's speech here!
MTExperiments are excited to announce a series of programming for 2019-2020 aiming to create opportunities for Musical Theatre artists. Giving them space for growth, development, exposure and the chance to create epic experimental performances, broadening the audience and demand for new works. Our ambitious year serves our vision by:
• Supporting the development of musical theatre across the UK, with a focus on the Midlands
• Producing opportunities to share new work through full productions to workshops and reimagine existing musical theatre in dynamic new productions
• To create supported spaces for development
• To host a series of workshop and cabaret opportunities for emerging musical theatre artists
• To create relationships with Musical Theatre artistsÂ
• To create stages for new works and reimagining’s of existing works
We need your support to bring this to life! We are currently in the final stages of Venue & Date Confirmations, Funding Applications and Assembling our Core Team. So expect some HUGE announcements of events, build up and workshops to come... Here's how you can get involved...
FOLLOW AND ENGAGE!
Our social media will be the heart of all our opportunities. Follow us across the different platforms for information on events, castings, conversations and livestreams!
​
DONATE!
We understand that theatre is expensive to put on and we can't just rely on ticket sales & funding. So we're opening up an ongoing donation pool for anyone who believes in our vision. If you have a £1 spare, that money will be invested into developing opportunity and new musicals across the East Midlands and UK. Click Here to Donate!
JOIN US!
We are soon to open an investment & co-producers opportunity to anyone with an interest in being a part of our ambitious plans. If you are interested, please contact Matt Powell for a meeting and advance information. Full details will be issued once venue negotiations are finalised.
Over the next two weeks, as we finalise what's in store, we will be going into more detail on the above three support points and we'll be announcing some open meetings where anyone who wants to get involved with us can come along and share thoughts and reflections on our work.
The Revolution has arrived. And our future couldn't look brighter...
