What do we look for?
We are looking for artists who want to make long term investment in puppet theatre and in Blind Summit. Artists that we can invest training in who will go on to perform in many of our shows, run workshops.
They are performers, makers, designers, writers.
We are looking for all round artists who are interested in the devising process, are ambitious for the art form of puppet based theatre, are ambitious for Blind Summit and most importantly for themselves.
If you are someone who might be interested in developing a long term relationship with Blind Summit please let us know. Our process of finding and appointing artists is organic and comes from working with us over a period of time and different projects.
We are particularly looking for BAME artists
What do we offer?
Associate Artists participate closely in the making of all our work, are our first call to cast in our shows, act as ambassadors for the company, and run workshops. They receive long term training on a paid basis over a series of shows. They have access to the workshop and rehearsal room to make their own work.
