Following a rigorous two-week selection process led by a large team of assessors the shortlist for the 2012 Total Theatre Awards has been announced. As ever, the shortlist is actually quite long – this year with 28 productions nominated across three categories. There will now be a week of judging culminating in a ceremony at the Hunt & Darton Cafe on 23 August at 6pm (invitation only!). Up to six Awards will be made over the three categories.
This year the Total Theatre Awards are sponsored by Barbican, University of Chichester, University of Winchester, and Warwick Arts Centre. The judging panel is Tony Dean, Jo Crowley, Dorothy Max Prior, Donald Hutera, Cora Bissett, Tom Creed, Joelson Gusson, Matt Burman, Caroline Routh, and Lyn Gardner. Total Theatre's director Pippa Bailey is the Chair for the judges meeting.
