  	Detailed project description (200–400 words)	Project Description: 
Writer Zodwa Nyoni reworks Euripides' Greek Tragedy Women of Troy with Hull based theatre company The Roaring Girls (Rachel Abbey, Jess Morley and Lizi Perry) into a contemporary performance directed by Amy Skinner. 
Current Copy from Amy Skinner:
Title TBC tells the stories of four women who are displaced, dislocated, and at the borderlines. Inspired by Euripides’ Women of Troy, the women draw the audience into their makeshift world, sharing the stories of where they have been and mulling over the uncertainty of where they are heading. The show combines intimate and personal storytelling with an immersive scenographic environment, music, and puppetry.

The project will involve a chorus, initially made up of students and then hopefully engaging with different areas it visits to be part of that chorus.

 Performance, Residency & Legacy	Performance: Summary of events, including dates, times, venues, ticketing strategy (free/paid, (un)ticketed), age guidelines (free text OR UKFC categories) etc.	This budget and project plan is for the first 4 performances at The Donald Roy Theatre. The Roaring Girls will apply for further funding to make the performance part of Back to Ours and Women of the World Festival and then to tour further afield regionally and nationally. Back to Ours performances will be paid ticketed. The performances part of Women of the World will be part of the price of entry. Performances at Women of the World will also coincide with Heads Up Festival, which we are also hoping to make this performance part of.	
 	Residency: What opps will be created for our education programme? How will the project build new audiences through engagement? Note #s, types & duration of participation opps.	The performance will have very accessible ticket pricing for Back to Ours and Women of the World. The performances after this aim to involve community chorus's in areas that it visits. This will hopefully be trialled in Back to Ours, using a mixture of students and people from the places they perform in.	
 	Legacy: What is built into the core project that will ensure legacy?	After the initial four performances we hope this will be part of Back to Ours off the back of a G4A bid, as well as being toured with their other show with Broken Little Robots both regionally and further afield nationally. This will enhance the Roaring Girl's repertoire, take them to the next level and giving them a producer and ability to audience develop in different parts of the country.	
 Project Management	What is the model for delivering this project? eg we will employ a creative team, we will outsource to an agency, we are contributing funding but no other resource…	The project will be delivered by Tim Skelly at Hull University, with support from the Hull2017 team. The Creative Team will be: 
Amy Skinner: Director: A.E.Skinner@hull.ac.uk
Zodwa Nyoni: Writer: zodwanyoni@yahoo.co.uk
The Roaring Girls: Performers: hello@theroaringgirls.co.uk
Rachael Abbey
Jess Morley
Lizi Perry	
 	How will delivery partners be identified and procured? Refer to the procurement flowchart and note below the agreed process (A–G) for each contract.	This will be determined by Hull University team.	
 	Who are the delivery partners? (Contact & organisation name, contract status for each)	Hull University: Tim Skelly: T.Skelly@hull.ac.uk	
 	Volunteer management: What is your expectation of volunteer requirements? (Numbers, roles, responsibilities, duration / period required)	5 for performances.
