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

I'm still at a bit of a loose end though, having concentrated on school for the last couple of years (okay, not so much concentrated as just stopped participating in "outside of school" productions) I havent been in the theatre scene much, and I'm not sure if there's any politics I should be aware of. eg: Can I be a member of more than one community theatre without "treading on anyones toes"?
