The Bread & Roses Emerging Artist 2024
Dedicated to nourishing on and off-stage talent, the Bread and Roses Theatre runs a yearly program which offers guidance and opportunities for an emerging theatre-maker.
A blend of our former Emerging Director and Producer programs, the Emerging Artist program is new for 2024! As we head into our 10th year we are offering an artist, of any (or many!) theatre-making disciplines a one year attachment to the theatre.
We’re seeking an Emerging Artist in the very early stages of their career who is interested in further developing their skills, gaining insights into making productions and running a theatre, as well as making new connections and working in a diverse and forward-thinking environment.
We would love to hear from Emerging Artists of all ages and backgrounds, including recent graduates, people who may be interested in a career change or artists practicing different disciplines who are interested in exploring their practice as an all round theatre-maker . We are especially keen to hear from artists from the global majority and/or working class and LGBTQ+ creatives.
During the year our Emerging Artist would have the opportunity to learn about and gain practical experience in theatre-making, directing, producing, programming, venue management and performing.
There will also be possibility throughout the year to work on your own project with support from The Bread & Roses Theatre including; in-kind rehearsal space, work and meeting space, practical project specific mentoring and your own programmed performance with a favourable split at the end of 2024 / in to 2025.
