Applying for Funding for the arts

Arts Council- 
We looked at getting funding from arts council for our production. There are three different type of funding programmes available.

1. Open Funding Programmes 
2. Closed Funding programmes 
3. Other sources of funding 

We would be listed under 'Open funding programmes' as we are an arts organisation.
We'd then be under the 'Artists and Creative professionals'

We will be applying for 'Grants For The Arts'. On the left is a picture of some details. 

Grants for the arts is a Lottery-funded grant programme for individuals, arts organisations and other people who use the arts in their work. Grants are available for activities carried out over a set period and which engage people in England in arts activities and help artists and arts organisations in England carry out their work.

They allow people to apply for awards from £1,000 to £100,000 to support a wide variety of arts-related activities, from dance to visual arts, literature to theatre, music to combined arts. 

In the following screenshots will be our application form, asking for 1600 pounds. 

Arts council have still not got back to me at this moment but as soon as they do I'll upload their response to my blog. 

 Applying For Funding From BBC-
We had also applied for a grant From the BBC.
Unfortunately they are closing down in March 2016and our performance would commence in may 2016. 

In the past they have asked for applications for musical theatre, urban music, community dance and they've even provided funding to professional organisations to develop emerging talent in the theatre sector.

Each year they have grant schemes open for submission. What the schemes are and who can apply changes every time, but they all have one thing in common - they all encourage the performing arts across the UK.

The performing arts include all kinds of different talent, and we like to reflect that in our schemes. They like to mix it up a bit, so don't be surprised if we don't repeat a previous scheme.

 


The screenshot on the left shows that they have ended their funding and giving out grants. 










The Jungle, Calais: Good Chance Theatre Dome-
I think that doing this topic is very hard hitting as it is very recent and very hot on the political basis at the moment. So we wanted to be careful and think about everything we do and how we do it so that we don't give the wrong message. 
Something similar to what we're doing is 'The Jungle'.  They are a group of British playwrights, Joe Murphy and Joe Robertson. 

They plan to coach migrants to stage weekly productions there, as well as offering them a "safe place" for them to have a good time. 

Mr Robertson said: “We say it’s a theatre, and it is, but it performs many functions really. 

"It’s across all art forms, it’s a meeting place – a town hall-cum-theatre – and it’s a really exciting and loved place to be in the camp here.”

And it doesn't stop there, because the British activists are slowly adding chairs, curtains and lights. 

The pair said they chose to call the venue Good Chance because when they first visited the Calais shanty town they heard migrants talking of "no chance" or "good chance" every night. 

Mr Murphy added: "We asked and found it meant how likely they thought crossing the border would be that night. And it stuck. The theatre offers a different kind of good chance."

Organisational Structure

Within a theatre company there will be hierarchy of roles. I believe its important to have an organisational  structure so everybody knows where they stand in the hierarchy pyramid.

I've done some research and will look at the structure of 'The Old Vic' Theatre company and who's who.
