CASTING COLLABORATORS for Reasons to Scream, an Audio-Film
Set in the near future, a queer feminist collective uses the power of
their unified voices to disarm sexual predators.
Seeking (experienced or inexperienced) voice-actors, poets, artists,
performers, etc. who are interested in and dedicated to a collaborative
process of:
a) developing their own (not culturally appropriated) character;
b) working together on writing the script (for which a storyline already
exists) and;
c) performing their character for the audio-recording of this unusual
‘film.’
This audio-film attempts to deconstruct some hierarchies of filmmaking
that enable sexual violence - the image-sound relationship and its part
in the Gaze, as well as those of film production itself.
Characters:
A collective of 8 reluctant superhero*ines with the common struggle of
living under threat of sexual and/or gender-based violence. They are
witches, scientists, tech geeks, activists, musicians, artists,
bodyworkers, sexworkers, and other practitioners. Their range of
experiences of gender, sexuality, ethnicity, racialization, economic and
educational class, religion, spirituality, culture, immigration,
incarceration, colonization, language, physical and neurological
ability, age, and personality causes clashes and conflict as they
negotiate and try to come to consensus in their aim of disrupting toxic
hierarchies.
Timeline:
early Oct: casting
Oct-Mar: 12x 4-hr scriptwriting sessions
April: 6 days rehearsals and recording
This is an arts-funded project with a fixed fee for collaborators, paid
out by invoice. For safety and accessibility, much of the work will
occur online. The rehearsals and recording will be held in a Berlin
studio with a wheelchair-accessible toilet, elevator, and full+extra
Covid safety measures in place. If you’re inspired and would like to
find out more, please write to me by Sept. 18th: j...@jsaragosa.de
