ARTISTIC DIRECTOR’S NOTE

Thanks for your interest in joining our company at this vital moment in our development. We’re a company with real momentum, who has made work across the world, in different forms and always with a focus on a singular vision; that theatre and art can ask questions and hold ideas in a way that nothing else can. Our plans for the next stage of our work include producing works at larger scales than before, work across theatre, digital and other forms, developing new and innovative international co-producing models and transforming our audience and artists development footprint in our home city of Manchester.

At a time of increased international turbulence, we know two things are true; that the challenges of making contemporary, challenging and new work are only going to increase, and that such work is more vital than ever before.

The successful candidate will work closely with me, our brilliant board of trustees and our wider community of artists, audiences and partners to push the company into our next chapter. They will play a critical role helping us to carve out an understanding of what twenty first century theatre can be, and the role it can play.

I look forward to hearing from you,
