Call for applications

Thanks to funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, Hastings Pier Charity is delighted to be able to offer the opportunity for a local community theatre group to devise a new piece of heritage inspired theatre and perform this on Hastings Pier as part of a revived Victorian themed ‘Rock Fair’ in July 2016.

£5,000 is available to support the production of an original piece of theatre inspired by Hastings Pier’s heritage.

The aim of the project is for the participants and the audience to learn about the heritage of Hastings Pier in an enjoyable way.Through the project we would like participants to: develop their research and planning skills enhance their creative abilities and performance skills grow in confidence and self esteem feel a greater sense of pride in the local area increase their knowledge

We are looking for groups that work with the local community to create high quality theatrical performances. The final piece must relate to the history of Hastings Pier and have a Victorian link, but how you achieve this is up to you! It can involve theatre, physical theatre, dance, mime, puppetry, projections, singing or music for example.

Application deadline - Friday 25th September
