Thank you for your interest in DPS Academy, our flagship artist creative development program and incubator for new design-led performance works. Presented in partnership with The Princess Theatre, we are excited to offer an approach to artist training and creative development that will bring participants closer to our company, artists and work than ever before, with an eight-part workshop series.
To help you prepare what you need to complete the form, the application form contains the following sections:
About you: contact details, artist / company bio, artist / company CV, supporting material - you are welcome to share relevant examples of your previous work (optional).
About your concept: Project title, elevator pitch, summary, target audience, motivation to create work, details of any past development of the work, and vision for the work beyond DPS Academy.
Developing your concept: What visual theatre forms you're interested in; and an outline of the artists, creatives and production team you envisage being involved in the project.
As you complete this short application form, please keep the following assessment criteria in mind:
Suitability of the proposed concept for a design-led or visual theatre form
Readiness of the project for creative development and presentation beyond the Academy program
Demonstrated interest by the artist in visual theatre/design-led forms as a significant component of their creative practice
Training and experience of the artist demonstrates readiness to work at a professional industry standard
We look forward to hearing about your project.
Best wishes,
Dead Puppet Society
