THE GARDEN PARTY is a live streamed show, hosted by The Nursery but starring you.
An open-spot style show designed specifically for teams who would like to bring their show a global audience.
WHO IS IT FOR?
It’s suitable for; preexisting shows, teams or acts, (whenever or wherever they formed), graduates of any of our courses looking for more opportunities to play together or simply just a group of friends looking to try something new. This is The Nursery’s new ‘formal’ way of applying to bring a show.
Applications to perform on our virtual stage are always open, so it’s not a case of IF you will get a spot but when!
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The live streamed show is approximately one hour long, and each event will have a minimum of 2 acts performing, there is no fixed time for the shows, let us know how long is an ideal length for you to get the most out of the experience.
We’d like to encourage anyone who fancies trying out their show online, and if you are brand new to it, can offer some simple coaching to make you feel more at ease. Additionally, whilst we tend to use Zoom to stream to our social media channels, we are open to groups who want to experiment technologically in the spirit of growing the art form.
FREE REHEARSAL SPACE:
If you would like a space to rehearse ahead of your show and don’t have access to a paid zoom account then we are happy to let you use ours free of charge* just as long as you stack the chairs and leave the room how you found it.
*times and dates of free zoom hire will be negotiated with teams upon booking.
