I've always been intrigued by the idea of a 'co-op' for actors. This is doubtless at least partly influenced by a lifetime of contacts with various types of 'union' in mainstream work especially as a youth worker in London. This would be the third foray into this world for me since my previous two were unsuccessful for reasons I still can't really divine. This is odd since one would imagine an actor's co-op to be more upfront than mainstream unions, many of whom I know from experience can be as devious as the employers. The last one in London (it wasn't you lot was it?) reacted enthusiastically (well something like that) to my audition pieces and I thought 'well I'm in here'. But I wasn't. Apparently they work on a 'black ball' system so it one or two don't like you (for whatever reason) you're 'blackballed'. It makes me less than enthusiastic about another go. But heigh ho - you gotta laugh haven't you. Where I could I send my details to? I.e. headshot, C.V. etc. My showreel is Mac McKenna showreel 2013

It sounds like a great idea, but who are "we"? I'm assuming you're based in London, right? Is that where the auditions will be based?
Is the Co-op already set up as a legal entity, or is it just an idea at this stage?
