Eastern Angles Theatre Company is looking for aspiring directors, actors, producers, designers, writers, theatre makers, and artists to join its new Young Creatives programme. Aimed at 18-25 year olds the programme will give participants the opportunity to be mentored in industry sessions to upskill their future creative careers. With a welcome workshop on Friday 15th December, the programme will start fully in January 2024.
The Eastern Angles Young Creatives programme will have a key focus on developing tools that can translate into a creative career path and will cover all aspects of theatre, including creative writing, acting, stage-management, design, producing, and directing. Weekly sessions with Suffolk-based industry professionals will lead towards the curation of mini projects which are for and by young people. The Young Creatives group will also form the Eastern Angles Youth Advisory Board which will influence and challenge the work of Eastern Angles Theatre Company and how it represents young people.
Speaking about the programme Jake Smith, Eastern Angles Artistic Director/CEO, said: “I am really excited for the programme Eastern Angles will be offering to aspiring creatives over the coming year and for emerging creatives to have a voice on our board of trustees. I know how important opportunities are in the creative industries and how opportunity leads to legacy. We are proud to invest in the creatives of tomorrow and make sure their voice is heard, as well as celebrate the amazing cohort of artists who practice across our region.”
