Brainstorm Auditions Form

1
WELCOME!

Students ages 12-19 are invited to audition for Brainstorm by Ned Glasier and Emily Lim, which will be performed in the Phoenix Space at Perseverance Theatre. No previous theatre experience is required, just a willingness to play, create, and take risks!

SHOW DESCRIPTION

Inside every adolescent brain, 86 billion neurons connect and collide, driving some of the most frustrating, chaotic, and exhilarating changes in the human body. Brainstorm is a theatrical investigation into how teenage brains work and why they have evolved to work the way they do.

Developed in collaboration with neuroscientists Professor Sarah-Jayne Blakemore and Dr. Kate Mills, alongside a group of teenagers, Brainstorm provides a framework for a company of teenagers to devise and perform their own version of the play, drawing directly on their personal experiences, ideas, and perspectives.

AUDITIONS

For the Audition (Sunday, January 31st, 2 - 5PM) please sign up for an audition slot and prepare a 2-3 minute story about your experience as a teenager. Your story can be silly, dramatic, mysterious, awkward, joyful, anything that feels true to you!

CALLBACKS

For the Callbacks (February 1, 6 - 8PM) students will work together to devise, problem-solve, and create together through collaborative exercises that explore aspects of performance. Invited students and guardians will all be asked to arrive at 6PM for a brief 15-minute Information Meeting / Q&A about the show.

Students who are unable to attend the scheduled audition are welcome to submit a self-tape to kferguson@ptalaska.org by Sunday January 31st, at 5PM.
