Ever dreamt of going to Shanghai?

We're working with the National Youth Theatre to offer 10 of you the chance to become part of a film and performance group who will stage a ground breaking production of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, performed partly in London, and partly in Shanghai, and connected with digital wizardry.

The challenge is to create a site-specific production for multi-lingual audiences while retaining some of Shakespeare's original text. Well, no one said it was going to be easy.

We need the productions to be interactive and to work together, so we're looking for people who are comfortable and skilled in filmmaking, as well as being in front of the camera.

We need 10 people in total: five will travel to Shanghai and five will stay in London. All the participants will be responsible for connecting the two performances and facilitating the digital storytelling of one of Shakespeare's best love works, performed by two casts, thousands of miles apart.
