Are you in for the high jump?

There’s just one week left to submit your 5-minute plays to our partners Talking Birds. It’s the first in the “Decathlon”: a series of ten small artworks produced to celebrate their 20-year anniversary (with a vague nod to that minor sporting event going on this summer).

So, in partnership with us and Writing West Midlands, they’re looking for 5-minute pieces (stories, monologues, plays) which engage with the High Jump, either metaphorically, or literally. We’ll be hosting the winning entries at Capital Theatre Festival in May. The work needs to be completed – we’re not looking for unfinished pieces. The successful pieces will be those which fully embrace the 5-minute form.

Please send a completed script, narrative, or description of the piece either by email as an attachment to:

birdmail[at]talkingbirds[dot]co[dot]uk with the subject line: High Jump Submission

Or post to Talking Birds, High Jump Submission, Institute for Creative Enterprise, Parkside, Coventry, CV1 2QR. Please don’t send your only copy – we won’t be able to return them.

Deadline: 28th February 2012, 12noon

Happy scribbling…
