Scripting Aloud
is a monthly scriptreading and networking event for scriptwriters and
actors that began a limited twelve-month run August 15, 2005 at “Behind
the Scenes” (www.performingartsbooks.ca) performing arts bookstore and
coffee shop in Vancouver. The next reading is Monday, October 17, 2005.
The event generates production-ready film, television, stage and radio
scripts by or about pan-Asian Canadians. Whether you have a
script-in-hand you want to hear read; want to exercise your
interpretive performance skills through reading scripts; or have a
motivated interest in being part of a creative vibe, Scripting Aloud is
a forum for you.
Scripting Aloud is an initiative of Sparked, a Vancouver-based,
non-affiliated networking group of pan-Asian Canadian performing
artists and creative professionals. The current event venue is
co-sponsored by the Vancouver Asian Canadian Theatre (VACT;
www.vact.ca) group and “Behind the Scenes.” VACT is interested in producing suitable scripts workshopped through this series for its 2006 lineup.
