actors co-op (an idea)
Sat, 3 Feb 2001, 06:57 pmHi. I'm wondering if there's anyone out there who can help me with this. How do you go about making an actors co-op? I've heard from lots of them in perth recently - I didn't know we have so many... Because here's my idea: I want to be a part of a co-op (later probably a company) that do classical plays (shakespeare, GBS, etc) as classical plays and not change them (eg: "Romeo, thou art a villain" to "Romeo, you're a wanker") but still make them be accepted commercially - a bit too idealistic, probably, but I grew up with those classical stuff so bare with me. Now, the thing is, I've got the experience as an actress but I'm not experienced enough in management and production to know even where to start if you want to build a co-op. Any suggestion? Help in any way? anything would be appreciated...
Thanks
Ami

Hey Rebecca/Ami
I don't know if this is the kind of thing you have in mind, but I'm a member of the (at this stage embryonic) KADS youth group. We put on our first play "Ball Boys", last year during the one act season. We are in a very favourable situation as we are able to draw on the resources/audience of KADS theatre, while at the same time being more or less autonomous in regards to play selection. In fact we would prefer to try something a little alternative than more mainstream titles and this is something that has been encouraged by KADS.
We are at the moment, quite a small goup and are always on the lookout for more people and production ideas, aspiring directors/actors/writers etc. Something to consider anyways...
Cheers
