This is an exciting time for us as we emerge from two years of working through the pandemic and spring back to full operations and a varied programme of in-person activity.

We are very interested in finding the right person for this position that would fit our collaborative way of working and our team, so we would be open to a discussion about the hours and working patterns of the role, working on a freelance basis, start date or other specific requirements you might wish us to look at.

We actively encourage people whose backgrounds, lived experience and skills are underrepresented in the sector to join us and positively impact our working practice. Any candidate who self-identifies as Deaf, deaf, hard of hearing, disabled or neurodiverse, and/or as a person of colour and who meets the person specification, is guaranteed an interview, as these individuals are under-represented in our current workforce.

Introducing Ife Grillo and Tracy Gillman - our first Associate Collaborators!


We’re delighted to announce Ife Grillo and Tracy Gillman as our first R&D Associate Collaborators - two brilliant theatre artists and thinkers who will work with us to co-create and help realise the development of our new Associate Collaborator programme.

 
 

Following call outs in 2021 for artists based in the North East and South West, Ife and Tracy will work with us, and our partners Northern Stage and Tobacco Factory Theatres, to explore and test how our organisations, and the sector, can develop and provoke change by listening to the voices of creatives who are underrepresented in the arts. 

Over the coming weeks and months we’ll talk, think and experiment, together and with other artists, to dream big and decide the future path of the programme. Tracy will also be collecting and shaping stories from working class communities with lived experience of care for older people in the North East to inform the creative development of our next major production, The Long Lie. 

We’re thrilled to be working with two such exciting creatives to explore how we can create a more representative, more equitable, more inclusive cultural ecology.

Let’s get started.
