There will be a panel of external assessors present during the selection process. This is to ensure that each successful applicant will create diverse, engaging and innovative theatre of a high artistic and professional standard that is required by the festival.
Flash Theatre – a 24 hour theatre event is ideal to showcase the work of theatre-makers from Galway and around Ireland. As an actor and director of past Galway Theatre Festival 24 hours theatre pieces, NoRopes Artistic Director Mairéad Folan guarantees that this event is an amazing way to hone your skills as an actor, writer or director, and be part of Galway Theatre Festival.
It is also a great forum to bring theatre-makers with different levels of experiences together in that everyone is on a level playing field working in a pressurised event. More importantly, it also gives young people and the local and wider community a chance to get involved with the Galway theatre scene.
