It is my great privilege to share details of this exciting opportunity for POC, Global Majority performers.

Maya Productions is looking for three Sheffield/Yorkshire based versatile performers for a Rehearsed Reading of Dynamic Flights by Tair Rafiq. All parts will require singing.
Production: 11 - 12 September
Location: South Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom
Contract type: Paid
Deadline: 5pm, 9th August 2024
Castings will be via self tape or online meeting
SYNOPSIS
Bee, Dee and Kay get together to go on a hike on a rare sunny day. Bee is keen to make the most of it as this might be all the summer they get this year. Dee just wants to stay in bed and not have to deal with the world today but gets cajoled into going by Bee. Kay accompanies them so they don’t end up throttling each other.
During the walk, things get complicated when they take a wrong turn into a realm outside of reality where they encounter strange and magical entities, who pose challenges for the friends to overcome.
This is the story of a journey not just across magical landscapes, but also a journey that each friend takes to discover who they really are.
Dynamic Flights is part of a creative project (of the same name) working in housing schemes for people living with long-term mental health needs. The play will go into full production in March 2025
ROLES
BEE – Outgoing, loquacious, and well meaning. BEE loves to sing, but often gets the lyrics wrong. Occasionally has issues with respecting other people’s personal space – especially that of DEE – but this comes from a place of innocent over enthusiasm, rather than meaning to cause discomfort.
DEE – A laconic, insular person, communicates mainly through body language and facial expressions (almost like a mime). Struggles to get by as a nonverbal person in a loud world. Relies on BEE more than they are willing to admit. Although apparently irritated by BEE’s overfriendliness, deep down, DEE cherishes their friendship.
KAY – A friend of BEE & DEES. They have a magical aspect to them and are able to shapeshift and take on other personalities as a way of influencing BEE and DEE. They play a variety of characters that BEE and DEE meet on their hike including THE TRAVELLERS- strange characters encountered during the hike. They can be humans, creatures, magical or supernatural entities.
