Early Years Theatre Director – Cloudy – Running Dog Theatre CIC

We’re looking for an experienced Early Years Director to join us for the making process of our new EY show Cloudy.

You’ll support our lead project artist Emma Baskeyfield in the shaping of the show, acting as an outside eye and creative sounding board.

About the Show
—————————————————————————-
It’s a beautiful day by the coast.
The sky is blue & there’s not a cloud in the sky…
oh no wait, what’s that?
A cloud?
Nevermind.

Join us for a spot of cloud spotting with your little one.

Explore, interact & play through the changing weather,
or find a comfy spot to relax and watch the clouds float by.

Because if we know anything about living by the sea,
it’s that the weather can change any moment.
———————————————————————————
Cloudy will be a small/mid-scale touring show suitable for both studio and community spaces exploring the weather, emotional regulation & environmental themes. Live music, key word signing, integrated AV & LX plus highly visual design elements shaped for Early Years audiences will create a complete , tailored, sensory experience.
