Because the show will be devised and made from your ideas, we would like to see how you think. Can you please write your thoughts on these two ideas/ provocations:

1. If you had to change your life right now, what would you change?

2. Heart status… You are:
 a) In love
 b) You are not in love
 c) It needs a break
 d) It’s beating just fine
 e) Something entirely different from a – d ?

Write about whatever you choose.

Please note: There are NO RIGHT ANSWERS. We want a cast who can think for themselves and have their own thoughts, so please write from your heart… and write your truth. We don’t want just one-word answers…

With your application, please include a recent photo of yourself.
