Production Placement – Video Technician, The Jungle Book

Production placements are one of our career development initiatives, they aim to provide opportunities for those currently underrepresented in the theatre workforce.
We are committed to diversity and access by prioritising individuals that we recognise are currently underrepresented in our organisation and across the theatre industry: individuals
who are part of the Global Majority, who are D/deaf or disabled, are from lower socio/economic backgrounds.

Production Placements aim to build on the existing skill level or experience of the placement, ensuring the opportunity offers the most impact wherever they are in their journey for a career in theatre. These opportunities are open to those aged 18 and over.

This opportunity is for someone interested in learning more about the use of video in live production. The role will provide the opportunity to shadow and observe the work of the
Sound and Video team (video bias), on The Jungle Book adapted by Anupama Chandrasekhar.

The role will be most suitable for someone who is interested in pursuing a career as a theatre technician with a video bias or video technician. You may have completed an apprenticeship or have other training or experience that demonstrates your interest in
technical theatre and/or video in live productions.
