CASTING COLLABORATORS for Reasons to Scream, an Audio-Film

Set in the near future, a queer feminist collective uses the power of their
unified voices to disarm sexual predators.

Seeking (experienced or inexperienced) voice-actors, poets, artists,
performers, etc. who are interested in and dedicated to a collaborative
process of:
a) developing their own (not culturally appropriated) character;
b) working together on writing the script (for which a storyline already
exists) and;
c) performing their character for the audio-recording of this unusual
‘film.’

This audio-film attempts to deconstruct some hierarchies of filmmaking that
enable sexual violence - the image-sound relationship and its part in the
Gaze, as well as those of film production itself.

Characters:
A collective of 8 reluctant superhero*ines with the common struggle of
living under threat of sexual and/or gender-based violence. They are
witches, scientists, tech geeks, activists, musicians, artists,
bodyworkers, sexworkers, and other practitioners. Their range of
experiences of gender, sexuality, ethnicity, racialization, economic and
educational class, religion, spirituality, culture, immigration,
incarceration, colonization, language, physical and neurological ability,
age, and personality causes clashes and conflict as they negotiate and try
to come to consensus in their aim of disrupting toxic hierarchies.

Timeline:
early Oct: casting
Oct-Mar: 12x 4-hr scriptwriting sessions
April: 6 days rehearsals and recording

This is an arts-funded project with a fixed fee for collaborators, paid out
by invoice. For safety and accessibility, much of the work will occur
online. The rehearsals and recording will be held in a Berlin studio with a
wheelchair-accessible toilet, elevator, and full+extra Covid safety
measures in place. If you’re inspired and would like to find out more,
please write to me by Sept. 18th: juli at jsaragosa.de
