The opportunity
Beyond Face CIC and Strike A Light have joined forces to create a 5 month program that will develop and identify people from the Global Majority who want to become theatre practitioners or develop their current skill set to an excellent standard through a range of paid training opportunities in the South West.
Our current theatre practitioners help us create theatrical performances with young people and communities, through a series of workshops, drama based games and devising techniques. A theatre practitioner is someone who can implement creative strategies to develop a creative outcome be it through co-created work, devised or scripted work.
Each successful applicant will work across both organisations on an individually tailored program with the addition of also working with our associate Travelling Light Theatre based in Bristol.
With a commitment to the equivalent of 12 days in person contact time spread across the 5 Months, this is an opportunity that will have set masterclass days but aims to work around your life and commitments.
