Intruder - Theatre in the Making
In Intruder - Theatre in the Making, Remi Rachuba, actor and writer, talks about his epic 11-year old journey of putting on his bilingual (English-Polish) solo-play, 'Intruder/Intruz'. He is sharing his insight into the development process, artistic inspirations, selecting his collaborators, staying motivated, coping with feedback, playwriting competitions and four and a half rehearsed readings, becoming a producer of his work, securing Arts Council England and Creative Scotland funding, raising 8K from crowdfunding, approaching corporate clients, developing his bilingual audiences and harnessing social media. The podcast's objective is to inspire, motivate, and guide like-minded creatives to be able to follow their dreams, develop their work and make theatre. New episodes every other Thursday morning from 1 October. *BONUS episodes: 20. Filling in an Arts Council Funding Application (Part 1), 21.
