Share your play with n.u.f.a.n.

WELCOME PLAYWRIGHTS!
Thank you for considering sharing your time and talent with us! We love having the opportunity to work with both emerging and established writers. On this page, you will find information on our submission requirements and deadlines. If you have any questions regarding submissions, you may direct them to info@nufanensemble.com The n.u.f.a.n. ensemble has shifted its focus to producing festivals for the 2009-2010 season. We look forward reading new work created by writers from around the world. New work is defined as a play that has never had a full production (table readings and workshops are acceptable, however). Submissions must be in standard industry format, including page numbers and binding. Please remove all identifying information from the title page of the script. Your contact information should be included on a separate page.

(Please acquaint yourselves with these guidelines. If you are unsure how to format your script – please follow the link. We consider one properly formatted page equals roughly one minute. Binding can be anything from a staple to a folder, but the work must be securely bound.)

One hard copy of the script should be sent to;

Λέσχη Ανάγνωσης Θεατρικού Έργου

Ο Σύλλογος Αποφοίτων του Τμήματος Θεατρικών Σπουδών Πανεπιστημίου Πατρών, το StudioΜαυρομιχάλη και η Ένωση Θεατρικής Γραφής (Ε.ΘΕ.Γ.) οργανώνουν λέσχη ανάγνωσης θεατρικού έργου. Τα μέλη της Λ.Α.Θ.Ε. θα συναντιόνται μία φορά το μήνα, έχοντας μελετήσει το έργο που θα ορίζεται κάθε φορά για ανάγνωση. Σκοπός της Λ.Α.Θ.Ε. είναι η συζήτηση και η ανταλλαγή απόψεων πάνω στο θεατρικό έργο, προκειμένου να διατηρούμε την επαφή μας με την μελέτη του θεάτρου, να οξύνουμε τη φαντασία μας και να διευρύνουμε τους ορίζοντές μας. Ο συντονιστής-προσκεκλημένος της Λ.Α.Θ.Ε. θα είναι κάθε φορά διαφορετικός  και θα προέρχεται από διάφορους χώρους του θεάτρου (σκηνοθέτης, ηθοποιός, συγγραφέας, μεταφραστής, θεατρολόγος κλπ). Κάθε φορά θα ορίζεται ένας θεματικός άξονας πάνω στον οποίο θα κινείται η ανάγνωση και η συζήτηση. Για παράδειγμα, μπορούμε να ερευνήσουμε το κωμικό στοιχείο σε ένα «σοβαρό» έργο, την επικαιρότητα ενός κλασικού, τα στοιχεία σκηνοθεσίας σε ένα άλλο, καταθέτοντας ο καθένας τις απόψεις και τις ιδέες του. Τα μέλη της Λ.Α.Θ.Ε. θα συναντώνται στο Studio Μαυρομιχάλη, που βρίσκεται στην οδό Μαυρομιχάλη 134, στα Εξάρχεια (πλησίον αστυνομικού τμήματος) κάθε δεύτερη Τετάρτη του μήνα. Καλούμε τους επαγγελματίες του θεάτρου ή τους φίλους με διάθεση για μελέτη των θεατρικών κειμένων, να συμμετάσχουν στην πρώτη λέσχη, που θα πραγματοποιηθεί την Τετάρτη 11 Νοεμβρίου 2009, στις 18:00 προκειμένου να ανταλλάξουμε απόψεις πάνω στο έργο Χειμωνιάτικο Παραμύθι του Σαίξπηρ (διαθέσιμες μεταφράσεις στην αγορά: Β.Ρώτας-Επικαιρότητα, Ε.Μπελλιές-Κέδρος, Ν.Χατζόπουλος-Νεφέλη). Σε αυτή την πρώτη μας συνάντηση δεν θα υπάρχει καλεσμένος-συντονιστής, καθώς σκοπός είναι, με αφορμή το έργο, να γνωριστούμε, να ανταλλάξουμε απόψεις πάνω στη λειτουργία και την οργάνωση της Λ.Α.Θ.Ε..

«REFUGEES / EXILE / IDENTITY / MIGRATION»
History of the Competition
The International Playwrights’ Forum of the International Theatre Institute / ITI, with its biennial competitions, encourages the writing of plays.

In 2002, the subject was the need for peaceful coexistence between people; in 2004 we asked for radio plays; in 2006 our aim was plays for a young audience; in 2008 we organized a monodrama competition under the title «Clash».

The winners of the competition 2006: 1st prize (for younger children): Vladimir Oravsky & Kurt Peter Larsen for “AAAHR!!!” ; 1st prize (for older children): Irene N. Watts for “Lillie”; 2nd prize: Muriel Parmelan for “Un grand-père formidable”.
The winners of the Competition 2008: 1st prize: Ndifor Eleves (Elvis) F. Abdul for “Because of my brother“ (Republic of Nigeria); 2nd prize: Pascal Nordmann for “Les Guetteurs“ (Switzerland), 3rd prize: Andreas Flourakis for “Psychic Force“ (Greece)
The Competition 2010
For this competition, the International Playwrights’ Forum will be looking at one of the painful issues of the contemporary world: the problem of exile and refugees, migration and identity in the world that is not ours. The theme of the competition is therefore Refugees/Exile/Identity/Migration.
Playwrights are invited to submit plays that deal with this issue in the contemporary world where hundreds of millions of people are displaced for political or economic reasons or through more serious violence between communities. How do they communicate with their new society? Are they second rate citizens? What do they bring to their new world? What does their new world offer them? What kind of identity do they look for and experience?
