Missfit Mondays is a four-month long mini festival celebrating innoventive writing in theatre, poetry, storytelling and the moving image/film. It is set up as a Festival Fundraiser for DYS(THE)LEXI 2009, a new charity which will celebrate, develop and produce the work of dyslexic writers.

Missfit Mondays is conceived as an experience space in which new audiences bring forth new writing and vice versa. We welcome new ideas and want to work with people who dissolve boundaries and are particularly keen to work with artists whose work does not fit easily into conventional ‘boxes’.

Missfit Mondays will take place on consecutive Mondays at The Troy Bar, Hoxton Street, London starting at 19:30pm, and lasting up to 3 hours.

About The Producers

missfit productions, the storytellers’ pedestal, is the brainchild of Lennie Varvarides, who has high standards, but doesn’t like rules, and has learned to love the inconsistency of her imagination.

Leon Conrad, co-founder of Touchwaves gets excited when people allow their soul-light to shine through their voices in performance – in any way – to tell their stories.

Their distinct interests and joint energies come together to bring about the creative performance space which is Missfit Mondays.

If you’d like to submit your work, please fill in the accompanying form and get it back to us by either 20th April 2009. If shortlisted, we will arrange a meeting with you, to find out more about your work, if selected, we will draw up a contract and look forward to having you contribute to Missfit Mondays.

If you feel you’re aligned to our values, then we’d love to hear from you and will do everything to make you feel welcome, support your work and help you take it forward.

Should a playwright not have a cast or director for their piece, Missfit Mondays will assist in finding appropriate talent, but the playwright gets the ultimate say in casting. Limited rehearsal space for plays is available and on Tuesdays and Sundays. Priority will be allocated in line with programming. If the writer/director does not use the allocated rehearsal space, they will be responsible for providing extra rehearsal space at their own cost.
