Are you hungry, brave, and passionate about drama?
Do you want to find out if you have what it takes to become a brilliant Producer but don't know where to begin?
Icarus is looking for additional production staff for its upcoming productions with a view to train and develop the successful candidate to work as a creative leader/producer on future projects.
This is a training programme! We can give you the skills you need!
Please send a CV and cover letter to
. The cover letter is far more important than the CV.
Icarus is unique as a small scale theatre company in that it functions as a Collective. A team of Producers lead the company under the measured Artistic Direction of company founder. Each Producer will lead one project per year and act as support for the others. In this way many projects can happen simultaneously and the company maintains a clear, strong Artistic Vision.
The only pay is training and fees on a project-by-project basis. Come on board to help us change this. We want your ambition.
This will be hard work and intense involvement. We expect to give you a chance and for you to prove yourself by asking questions, getting help, and getting the job done.
The one thing we CAN'T give you is a sharp wit and initiative. Both are vital. Bring them yourself.
To apply for one of the below positions, please send a CV and covering letter to margaret 'at' icarustheatre.co.uk or the address below.
We are always looking for young professionals or university students to join our team, working with us for a term or more. You can learn about the production process, administration of a young company, and be an active part of a team that brings a play from conception to actualisation.
At the moment we have a full complement of interns, but new vacancies will be available in the New Year.
