The team are looking to engage a Freelance Writer/Director as part of this exciting programme of work. In this role you will create and direct two engaging, high-energy performances that will showcase our costume making heritage and techniques to a broad audience. These performances will be 20-30 minutes long and should be curated to make them as inclusive and accessible as possible.

To deliver this project you will have access to resources to develop your knowledge of costume making, with a research period included in the delivery schedule.

  • An initial concept or inspiration that you’d like to explore
  • A suggested title or tagline
  • How you would make the performances attractive and accessible
