Musical Script just cpmpleted!!!
Sat, 13 Jan 2001, 06:14 pmMy friend and I have just completed a full length musical production, which we have the confidence in believing it could be a great entertaining performance.
However, being our first piece, we have no idea how we can actually go about having it performed.
We need to know where to take it, about copywriting, registrations, sponsers, finance, costs, and plus everything that is nessessary to get this play happening.
If anyone has any information, (in Perth), we would greatly appreciate it.
Thankyou.

You will find that the legal side of things will be the least of your worries.
Funding the production is your prime concern.
Rehearsal Space, Venue expenses, Technical Equipment, Costuming, Sets etc are the main hurdles.
But even these are not insummountable if you have the nerve AND believe in your own work.
I am presently in Rehearsal for Dr Koppelius an original Rock/Horror Musical. If you want to see a self-funded musical in preparation why don't you drop by.

Dr Koppelius
A Production by Malcolm Crisp
Designed by Jo Marsh
Original Music by ZENOMORPH
After two sell out seasons last year the group that brought you 'an elektra' and 'A Radical Re-Interpretation: Chekhov's The Seagull' are commencing their 2001 season with 'Dr Koppelius' an original Post-Modern Rock/Horror Musical. Working with ZENOMORPH one of Perth's most creative rock/fusion bands, the E.T.A. Hoffmann's story of Dr Coppelia and his robot doll Olympia (best known from the ballet Coppelia) has been updated into the age of cloning and digital technologies.
Dr Koppelius is a story of how life is scientifically created and socially programmed. It is a love story mutated into a horror story by an evil genius who is himself the product of a world of sinister manipulations. This rock musical particularly explores the cultural philosophy of French thinker Jean Baudrillard in regards to how our knowledge of the world is generated by representations or copies of 'the real' and how society seduces us into accepting these 'simulations' as acceptable versions of reality. A cross between the Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Matrix, and a lecture on French Critical theory, 'Dr Koppelius' is a dark and sexy investigation into the what we are and why society wants to keep us that way...
What partially explains the success of this group is that they have fostered a cross-over audience between regular theatre goers, students of 'cultural studies', and the local music set who have, up to now, had little opportunity of hearing the best Perth bands outside the pub circuit. The group has also earned the reputation of not retreating from taking intellectual or physical challenges - both previous works found controversy by questioning current theatrical conventions and containing scenes of nudity and explicit imagery.
Season commences at the East Amphitheatre Beaufort Street Highgate February 28th until March 3rd then transfers to the Subiaco Theatre Centre March 7th until March 10th
All performances Wednesday to Saturday at 8.00pm
Performance duration 75 minutes
Tickets through BOCS.
