What is a SCRATCH performance?
An inclusive process of developing theatre that involves the audience from the onset.
Developed twelve years ago, by Battersea Arts Centre, SCRATCH is a process of testing ideas that embraces experimentation and learning. In a practical sense this means artists sharing in-development-work with an audience, who then help enrich the work through their immediate response, feedback and sometimes direct involvement. Co-productions that develop through SCRATCH can go on to become part of the BAC touring programme.

Successful applicants will demonstrate artistic excellence, an understanding of the region and audiences, and have flexible production needs for non-theatre spaces.

What are we looking for the next 2 seasons in 2015?
• Original performances which are suitable for a range of audiences – both full length shows and short curtain raisers of a professional standard.

The deadline for SCRATCH applications is Monday 1st December at 5 PM. All applications should be submitted online to doorsteparts@gmail.com.
