INCLUSIONS:
> Script Analysis with cast, writer, director, and producer (60 minute runtime)
Exclusive to this package and the 'Heart of Quasar Package', students have a special opportunity to partake in a detailed Script Analysis with Jaziel Siegertsz (writer, director, producer) and all cast members in the show. Ideal for students viewing the show for English essays, Drama students learning how to analyse scripts, and students wishing to work in the arts industry as they will get to discuss the script in detail with the team that took it from paper to the stage.
You can structure the Script Analysis to be for a small group of students with all the cast and Jaziel, or you can have a bigger number of students participate by splitting them up and having a couple members of the Quasar team lead each Script Analysis in groups. This way, the intimacy of the learning experience is not lost on any students.
LOCATION:
> Your school
Having the performance at your school saves you all the costs associated with organising an excursion for students to see a performance outside of school grounds. Students' time is also maximised as they no longer spend a couple of hours out of their day commuting and waiting on an excursion.
With that time saved, students can return to classes sooner and miss less class, or they can gain an even more valuable theatrical and educational experience by spending that time, instead, on a script analysis and/or one-on-one interview with the cast. These services are available through our other School Performance Packages.
INCLUSIONS:
> Unlimited students/audience members
Quasar Arts have calculated our minimum pricing for each package to successfully operate. Instead of then charging extra depending on how many students/audience members there are (like regular ticketing), we have decided to keep our price static to enable as many students to experience our thought-provoking performances as possible!
As outlined in the graphic above, depending on how many students/audience members are present for our performance, you can get out-of-this-world pricing!
INCLUSIONS:
> Performance (60 minute runtime)
The current show running as a part of our School Performance Packages is 'Escaping The Burning Sun', a one-act, one-hour, sci-fi, dystopian-drama. For more information on the show, including main themes and trigger warnings, click the button below:
Each of Quasar Arts' School Performance Packages include 1 performance of the show. More performances can be negotiated.
INCLUSIONS:
> Q and A with cast, writer, director, and producer (20 minute runtime)
Students get the opportunity to have a Q and A with the 8 actors in Escaping The Burning Sun as well as Jaziel Siegertsz, the writer, director and producer (as well as founder of Quasar Arts - students might like to also ask about starting your own business and pathing your own way in the arts industry).
As the Live Performance Award requires casual employees to have a minimum call of 3 hours, Quasar Arts has decided to include a Q and A of 20 minutes in all School Performance Packages free of extra cost. Instead of taking 2 hours total to bump in and out (set up and pack down) without doing a Q and A, we will only take 100 minutes total to bump in and out and spend 20 minutes with students, answering questions, for the same price. In this package, students also get to participate in a Script Analysis with the cast and Jaziel. The full timeframes of this package can be found below.
WHY WE PRICE THE WAY WE DO
Escaping The Burning Sun has 8 actors. Jaziel Siegertsz, the founder of Quasar Arts is the writer, producer, and director of this play. This means that for each performance, 9 of our team members are required to make it happen. As we get booked sporadically, all our team members are paid on a casual basis under the Live Performance Award (MA000081). The minimum shift length is 3 hours under the award.
We not only pay our team fairly, but we price fairly. Our pricing and services are designed to maximise student time in class (by eliminating transport to and from an outside venue, as well as the hundreds in bus hire), maximise student engagement and learning opportunities by being able to spend valuable time asking the cast and Jaziel questions, participate in a detailed script analysis with the cast and Jaziel, and in the 'Heart of Quasar' Package, students even get the opportunity to interview members of the cast and/or Jaziel individually for English assignments, Drama assignments, Media assignments, Personal Projects and Research Projects, or their own personal creative endeavours!
As the Drama Captain of Woodcroft College in 2018 who founded the school's Drama Club that is still running today, as a graduating student with an ATAR well into the 90's, as a multi-award-winning student, leader, and performer, Jaziel knows exactly what would have, and what did benefit him best as a student, and as a budding performer. Most performances that he saw for English and Drama did not have a Q and A session. Those sessions were always so immensely beneficial to write better reviews, performance analyses, and reports. But they were more important to him in the way that it was a chance to ask the professionals in his field of choice questions that he would not get to otherwise. Having a one-hour-long script analysis with the writer, director, producer and cast, and the opportunity to have quality one-on-one interviews with them were only a dream. And now, through Quasar Arts, Jaziel is making that dream a possibility for all creatively inclined students in Adelaide.
