Performer callout for school based project
Performer callout for school based project
Immersive primary schools project
This January 2025 NTW TEAM will be producing an immersive theatre project across three primary schools in Cardiff as part of our funding from the UK Shared Prosperity fund.
As part of this project we are looking to connect with performers and a designer who will work with director Duncan Hallis and the wider NTW TEAM to devise and deliver this project.
We are looking to employ 3 performers who can commit to an R&D week w/c 9 Dec 2024 to support the devising of the project as well as a week of rehearsals and 3 weeks of performances throughout January 2025. Alongside this performers will be part of creating filmed online lesson plans and educational activity packs based around the themes of the project.
We are looking for playful people, who feel comfortable improvising and responding live to unexpected provocations and challenges. Some parts of the performance will be scripted, and others will be more open to improvisation and finding the game in the moment.
We are particularly interested in connecting with those who may already have experience of immersive performance, working with children, and/or people with experience in performance skills that are alternative to traditional theatre (for example: hoop, acrobatics, circus etc.)
FEE: £3450.00 total (6 weeks @ company weekly rate of £575 per week)

A note about National Theatre Wales
Whilst we work towards a new vision and future, we are continuing to support theatre makers, artists and creatives through NTW TEAM programmes supported by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, which is being administered by Cardiff Council.
This activity includes the launch of new NTW TEAM initiatives Young Collective, TEAM Collective and The City Socials, a series of events that will pop up in spaces all around Cardiff over the next few months. Keep your eyes peeled on our social media and newsletter for the next events.
