Improbable
Job Summary
Job Description
Improbable is recruiting. We are looking for Trustees to join the Improbable Board, with particular skills in Development/Fundraising and Producing (ideally commercial/large scale), to support Improbable on the next phase of our journey.
This year will see us celebrate this milestone with a range of activity that reflects our 30 years of practice. We will deliver our 21st Devoted and Disgruntled event, continuing to ask, what are we going to do about theatre and the performing arts? We will be presenting productions in the West End (My Neighbour Totoro and Tao of Glass) as well as delivering our co-production Perfect Show For Rachel across the UK. Alongside that we are developing several exciting projects and productions with national and international partners, and continuing to bed ourselves in our new home county of Kent.
We are looking for collaborators to join the Board of Improbable – to become Trustees. Our Board are our friends, our advisors, our confidantes, and they hold us accountable. We are looking for new people to join this group, and below is a specification outlining some of the skills and experiences we feel are crucial additions.
We are particularly looking for people who have a background in Development/Fundraising and Producing (ideally commercial or large scale). You might have sat on a Board before, you might have no idea what sitting on a Board means or needs, you might work in the arts, you might just be an avid fan. You might live in Kent and have never heard of Improbable before. All are welcome and encouraged to get in touch.
We care as much about finding people who are excited about the company, the work, and the spirit as we do about the experience and skills you bring.
People from diverse backgrounds, in every sense of the word, are encouraged to approach us. Unlikely, implausible, and improbable applicants are, by definition, extremely welcome.
Job Requirements
Attend four Board meetings per year of on average 2 hours – two online, two in person to coincide with an Improbable event or performance (travel costs may be covered by Improbable.)
Adequately prepare for each Board meeting by reading the provided papers in advance of each meeting and if unable to attend a meeting to provide feedback on papers directly to the Executive Director.
Attend Improbable productions and work (one complimentary ticket will be provided to each Board member for each production where available.)
Support the Improbable team ad hoc on issues or matters that arise that particularly speak to the expertise of each individual Board member.
The Board of Trustees ensures that we have adequate resources to advance Improbable’s mission to make theatre, share and teach improvisation, hold space for authentic conversations, connect individuals to their sense of agency, grow communities and empower everyone to imagine and create a healthier and more equitable society.
