Tired of waiting for that  ''Call Back''?
'For many performers, life is one long waiting game spent sitting by the phone or scanning the internet waiting for that breakthrough part..or even ANY Part...to turn up. To a greater extent than almost any other profession, performers are in the difficult position of having the training, having the talent and being ready, willing and able to use it-but feeling like they are constantly waiting for someone else, be they a producer, casting director, or A&R person to give them permission to do their thing.. But it doesn't have to be this way... The GET YOUR SHOW ON THE ROADSeminar  Create and Market Your Own Show Step-By-Step  ''I believe that alongside applying for castings, auditions and other work opportunities, every performer should have a basic, marketable one person show which they can perform at festivals, small performance venues, libraries, schools and the wide variety of other spaces. While there is NEVER an absolute guarantee of work in the entertainment business (run a mile from anyone who tells you different!) anything you can do to increase your chances of working has to be worth investing time and effort in, and a look at many festival and small theatre programmes will show you lots of performers who are already generating their own work in this way. The benefits to the artist of having a successful show of their own are extremely valuable in terms of regular stage experience and the potential for more regular income- but developing your own show can also be a confidence boosting project and a showcase for your talents to which you can invite producers, agents and casting directors, increasing your chances of getting regular work elsewhere.   In this Day Long Seminar John and his guest team of industry experts will guide you through: Choosing a marketable concept for your show that suits your talents and career direction Plotting and writing your script...even if you're convinced you are not a writer! Finding a wide variety of suitable venues and pitching your show effectively You will also be supported in getting to grips with the practicalities of putting on your show: from handling the costings to copyright issues to working effectively with other performers or backstage crew, should you want to get them involved. Once your show is up and running we will give you tips on maximising the publicity value of each show you do without having to have a huge advertising budget Each participant takes away a comprehensive resource manual containing all the template letters, press releases and other marketing materials you need. Plus! Complimentary Follow Up Session with John within 30 Days of your seminar to make sure you are on track with getting your show on the road! The Get Your Show on The Road Seminar will be running in several different locations nationwide and possibly worldwide in 2008/2009.
