The Bread & Roses Emerging Director Program
Having been committed to providing opportunities to theatre-makers of all disciplines and backgrounds since the theatre launched in 2014, in 2017 we also started our Emerging Director Program, and are now accepting submissions for the fortuh round of the program in 2020!
We are seeking a director in the very early stages of their career 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.
The selected candidate will become an Associate Emerging Director at The Bread & Roses Theatre for the year 2020, which will include the following opportunities:
Please note, this is a voluntary position as we are a small-scale, unsubsidised theatre. However, we encourage everyone interested to apply as we will not be requiring attendance for set hours but are rather looking for the best and most suitable candidate and will then find a way to make it work. There is no full-time requirement but just involvement in several projects as much as the candidate's availability allows.
To apply please email a CV and cover letter (no more than 400 words) to
submissions@breadandrosestheatre.co.uk with 'Emerging Director 2020' in the subject line.
Applications close 9th January 2020 at midnight. Interviews will be held w/c 13th January 2020.
