Ugly Duck Creative Project Application

Ugly Duck has an opportunity for individuals or groups to host a weekend-long public project to take place in one of the stunning and unusual buildings that we manage in Southwark, London. We will be choosing projects to take place between November 2016 and April 2017. Ugly Duck programmes a diverse range of projects, and whilst we work closely with artists, we are also keen to see submissions from groups in other disciplines including but not limited to architecture, science, information and technology, social sciences, activism.

We are interested in projects that involve audiences in new and dynamic ways, work across disciplines, and educate and advocate for social, political environmental change.

More information about Ugly Duck and the types of projects that we have hosted in the past can be seen at www.uglyduck.org.uk.

Financial Agreement: We seek to support emerging organisations through flexible financial arrangements. For 2 days projects at Tanner Street we can offer a box office split (40/60 in your favour) with a guarantee, £500+VAT/£750+VAT up front or for a free public exhibition Ugly Duck can offer the space inkind. For projects at The Testing Works or at Off Quay we operate different arrangements depending on the nature of the project. Please get in touch to discuss.

For all projects Ugly Duck must at a minimum cover the costs of admin, electricity and staffing. In order to cover these costs we would like to either (Mainly for theatre, dance, performence) a) operate a box office split with you OR b) receive a hire fee for use of the venue OR if applicable (For free exhibition) c) run a bar during your event. a) Box Office Split: 40/60 split of all box office takings in favour of the Incoming Company (you). We would require a guaranteed income of 40% of ticket sales of 40% of a full house, as stated in your ideal audience numbers in this form. In other words, if you aim for an audience of 100, money from the first 18 tickets sold would go to Ugly Duck as a guarantee, before the rest of the box office is split 40/60 b) Hire Fee: You can also pay us a fixed fee £500+VAT for the venue for two whole days. Ugly Duck will manage all ticket sales via Brownpaper we will pay you your share of takings no later than 10 days after the production. c) For a free public exhibition we wouldn’t ask you to pay a fee, we’ll run a bar during the event and we might pair you with a play if applicable.
