Presents

Set Sail for Home – A Showcase of New Talent

As its third production of 2008, after Lovers at Versailles and an award-winning production of The Parting, Entity presents Set Sail for Home – A Showcase of New Talent. This showcase of fresh talent features scenes and monologues performed by Entity's newest faces. Each piece takes you on a journey exploring the concepts of losing and finding home. Directing the individual pieces are Peter Bishop, MartinBuesing, Blair Gaulton, Antoine Kubler, Claire Langer and Jennifer Mikulla, and Martin Buesing is artistic director for the showcase as a whole.

The performance is on 8 December 2008 at 8pm at the Kammertheater Schwabing, Feilitzschstr. 12 (above the Drugstore, U3/6 Münchner Freiheit). Tickets cost 10 euros. Information and reservations at info@entitytheatre.com or tel. 0700 3684 8900. Reservations also at reservierung@kammertheater-schwabing.de or tel. (089) 8563 0103.

 THE GROUP: Entity, founded by Danny Strike and Alison Sandford in 1999, is committed to the workshop principles of allowing participants time to develop, experiment, and have fun. It is also an “audition-free zone”. Auditions don’t tell us what we want to know about performers. For example, are they willing to challenge their own talent? Can they work in a team? After attending workshops, participants are invited to “commit” to performance and a play is selected. Obviously acting skills – voice, spatial awareness, scene rhythms, emotional logic, etc. – must also be developed in the course of the rehearsals, but ENTITY never loses sight of the workshop principle, and actors are encouraged to experiment within the evolving framework. This gives ENTITY its unique dynamics.

Past productions: In addition to the current production, Entity has now put on eight full-length plays and six one-acts.

Accolades: In 2004, Entity was awarded second place for its staging of James Saunders’s Games at FEATS, the Festival of European Anglophone Theatrical Societies. This year, Entity received the FEATS award for Best Stage Presentation for its adaptation for the stage of Tanika Gupta's The Parting, and a nomination for best actor.

Please note: Entity acting workshops will be starting again early next year. These workshops are held Thursdays from 7:30pm to 10:00pm and are open to anyone with a good command of English. For further information please check the Entity website: www.entitytheatre.com.
