Possibility of professional placement during August
This is not a college organised placement. The opportunity is to work on the Frinton-on-Sea Summer rep theatre season as design assistant. The skills needed will be scenic painting, general construction, propping, prop making etc. Frinton-on-Sea is in Essex so travel is necessary. Unfortunately there is no fee or transport costs available so this is voluntary work, but looks good in a portfolio/CV as professional work.
There are two weeklong slots available. 11th – 16th August working on “Hayfever” and 18th – 23rd August working on “I love you, you’re Perfect, now Change”. Likely hours are 10-6 most days with get-in, tech and opening being 10-10 (approx). As this is voluntary you are not tied to hours, but if you are successful you MUST be available throughout the process and attend all days. This is a fast paced, exciting environment and as such you should be prepared for anything. There is no actual workshop so whatever the weather you will be working outside!
In the first instance you need to email me at [email protected]. I will then pass your details and application to Rob Miles, the designer of the pieces.
You must write a letter of application introducing yourself, your skills, your experience, what you could give to the vacancy and what you hope to get out of it; also which week you are applying for and/or whether you may be interested in both weeks. Think about why you should be chosen. I will not be making any decision on this. The designer will make the final decision.
Please make your application email title FAO - Rob Miles
Strict closing date for applications 5pm 10th June 2016.
Any more information just come and see me.
