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.
