Dear Emma,
I have some Floating Point Science Theatre scripts which, as long as we
could come to some written agreement about the geographical area in
which you were licensed to perform the shows, I could sell to you.
"Dazzled" seems to suit your requirements very well. Have a look at
http://www.stevemesure.ic24.net/FloatingPointPages/shows.html
I have scripts for all these shows. They are very visual and physical so
you may need a director who knows the show. I could make some
recommendations.
I have sold "Sorted" and "Push Off" to the Edinburgh Science Festival on
a similar basis. They have been using them repeatedly over the last
three or four years. Speak to Jen Simpson or Simon Gage if you want an
objective point of view.
Very best wishes
Steve

Subject: [PSCI-COM] science show script writers required
Apologies for cross posting.
Thinktank, Birmingham's museum of science and discovery, has received
funding to commission 6 new science shows.
Are you an experienced science show writer?
Thinktank would like to invite applications from experienced science
show writers to script and source props for 6 new science shows.
Thinktank is looking for 3 new shows for family audiences and 3 new
shows for schools. At least one of the family shows should have a
transport/ travel theme, the other topics are negotiable but should link
strongly to the content of the museum's exhibitions. The school shows
should cover the following National Curriculum themes and be pitched at
the following audiences: 1 KS3 on Energy, 1 KS2 on Light and Colour and
1 KS2 on the Earth and Beyond. We are particularly interested in
developing a Light and Colour show for students with Special Educational
Needs and would be interested to hear from show writers with expertise
in this area.
Shows should be no more than 30 minutes in length and will be delivered
by our team of Education Officers and Enablers in our Thinktank Theatre.
A fee of £1500 is available per show and there is an additional £700
available to spend on props for each new show.
If you are interested in applying to write one or more of these shows
please send a letter of application to the address below detailing what
you think makes a good science show. You should also include a recent
CV and indicate your previous experience in writing science shows.
Please state in your application letter how many and which shows you
would like to write and when you would be able to complete them.
The deadline for applications is Wednesday 25th February 2004.
Please send your letter of application to:
