Job Summary
Job Description
We’re looking for someone to join our team as we tour our new show ‘Exploshine’ to SEN schools and community groups around the UK this year. Exploshine explores the rich and unseen vibrancy of inner lives through imaginative set design and playful moments of interaction between the performers and the audience.
The Stage Manager/Driver will join us in rehearsals from 2nd – 6th June before tour begins 9th June – 19th December. During this period ‘Exploshine’ will tour for 19 weeks to 70 school/community venues across the UK, with performances usually taking place 3 times a day at the same venue.
Dates for this tour are:
- Rehearsals: 2nd – 6th June (1 week)
- Leg 1: 9th June – 25th July (7 weeks)
- Rehearsals: 11th – 12th September (2 days)
- Leg 2: 16th September – 31st October (7 weeks)
- Leg 3: 14th November – 19th December (6 weeks)
(These dates could be subject to slight changes).
Please let us know in your application if there are any dates within this period that you would be unavailable for.
We would be interested to hear from applicants who are available for either the whole tour or individual legs as this role could be a job share. Within these dates you will be staying away Monday – Fridays and one weekend a month, living in the same accommodation as the rest of the creative team.
Rehearsals will take place in Canterbury, Kent and weekly tour departure will be from Upminster, Essex.
The role is paid £601 per week with accommodation and food costs being covered additionally. The daily rate for additional rehearsal days will be £133.
