Kevin Spacey and Steve Winter, Network workshop in New York
Hello
Every year we stage The 24 Hour Plays: Old Vic New Voices and
every year we find some of the best emerging practioners in the
business and feel incredibly proud to bring their talents to the
attention of the wider theatrical community.
However our support doesn’t start and end with that one,
heady night on The Old Vic stage. All of those that take part are
made Old Vic New Voices Club members and offered year-round
professional development opportunities to ensure they have the
best possible start in the industry.
TimE WArNEr iGNiTE is one such opportunity, intended
to facilitate the creation of new stage and film work by the
actors, writers, directors and producers of the New Voices
Club, supported by one of the best known names in global
entertainment.
Over two years the project will enable us to commission 16
short plays, 8 short films, a full length documentary and online
‘legacy’ resource material with the collective aim of promoting
the talents of our Club members.
We hope that you enjoy this afternoon’s performance and stay
to chat to some of our talented artists afterwards.

Time Warner Inc WHAT IS
TIME WARNER IGNITE?
Storytelling is at the core of our business at Time
Warmer, and creating opportunities for new and
diverse talent to be seen, heard and enjoyed is
critical to our company’s success. This is also a
guiding principle of our philanthropy.
From the very beginning, our relationship with The
Old Vic has been dedicated to supporting talented
storytellers. We’re excited to once again work
with the passionate staff at The Old Vic to launch
TimE WArNEr iGNiTE. Through these kinds of
groundbreaking partnerships, Time Warner strives
to be a leader in nurturing innovative talent of all
backgrounds.
Welcome to TimE WArNEr iGNiTE: 2,
Lisa M Quiroz
President
Time Warner Foundation
TimE WArNEr iGNiTE is a bespoke programme aimed at propelling
the careers of our Club actors, writers, directors and producers to
the next level.
Around each of the four productions in The Old Vic’s current Season
Seven and Season Eight, TimE WArNEr iGNiTE have offered a
select group of artists the chance for deep creative engagement.
Club members of TimE WArNEr iGNiTE: 2 attended a creativity
weekend led by top industry professionals, exploring different
artistic interpretations of the current production A Flea in Her Ear.
Following the workshop, four Club writers were commissioned to
work up a 15-minute play inspired by A Flea in Her Ear. These
works were then cast from Club actors, and Club directors with the
event being facilitated by Club producers.
And now for the Hollywood twist.
One TimE WArNEr iGNiTE: 2 play from today’s performance will
be selected to win a place in the next stage – the opportunity to
work with the best emerging film-makers, and experienced industry
mentors, to transform their play into a professional short film.
Eight films will be created over the two seasons with a final four
being selected by members of our ideasTap community to be
screened for an audience of Time Warner execs in New York.
Ultimately, TimE WArNEr iGNiTE helps members build deep
creative bonds with their peers, meet the most daring established
practitioners, showcase their work to a transatlantic audience and
transform their talent for playmaking into a flair for film.

Welcome
ready, set, go! As we all ripped opened our envelopes from The Old Vic inviting
us to be a part of this intriguing new project, TimE WArNEr: iGNiTE, we eagerly
awaited more information of this new opportunity to meet other members of the
talented Old Vic New Voices Club and develop relationships; share stories, exchange
ideas, build long-lasting friendships and work together to create pieces that could
be the start of something much bigger.
Having all taken part in The 24 Hour Plays: Old Vic New Voices within the last
three years, the company were well aware of the challenges that Old Vic New
Voices would put to us; quick turnarounds, sleepless nights, endless discussions
but ultimately loads of fun! The 24 Hour Plays each year sees a group of 50 young
artists - comprised of the best emerging actors, writers, directors and producers
- meet the challenge of creating seven short plays within a 24 hour period,
culminating with a performance to a packed auditorium of industry professionals,
friends and colleagues at The Old Vic.
This new challenge began four weeks ago as the 32 of us met to build teams;
finding the perfect combinations of writers, directors, actors and producers - the
majority of which are unlikely to have worked together before, or may have never
even met. As if this wasn’t enough of a challenge, the writers were asked to create
pieces inspired by selected themes of the current Old Vic production, A Flea in Her
Ear. Finally, let’s not forget the competitive edge to this project, as one piece will
be selected and made into a short film and presented in New York in 2012.
immediately setting to work together, we have embraced this fantastic opportunity
and are hugely proud to present TimE WArNEr: iGNiTE 2 to you today. The
opportunities that The Old Vic provides are unique and, the possibilities that these
relationships bring, endless. These platforms for emerging artists are essential in
supporting new talent and vital for the continual development of British Theatre.
Thank you on behalf of all the company for joining us this afternoon to celebrate
the commitment of all involved, and to enjoy an afternoon of new work in such a
fantastic venue as the Waterloo East Theatre. We hope the camaraderie, talent and
achievement is clear and we look forward to celebrating with you afterwards.
