The Wyllie Longmore Award is for Early Career Theatre Artists* based within Greater Manchester. The Award will provide a meaningful and bespoke funded learning experience, for people who would otherwise face barriers accessing the highest level theatre training, networks and opportunities in the region. Over 12 months the successful theatre artist will participate in a learning experience to enable the highest level of potential and excellence in their discipline, as well as building a foundation for their practise long term. They will work with leading artists and organisations in the region.
Wyllie Longmore died in January 2023. The Award is in memory of the lifetime commitment Wyllie had for nurturing talent; sharing the highest quality learning; offering time & support to enable others to succeed in theatre; and always acting with integrity and care for the art-form and people he worked with.
This opportunity is open to individuals who identify as theatre artists- nominated by an organisation or group. The Wyllie Longmore Award is launched and delivered by some of Manchester’s cultural organisations and leaders who have benefitted from and been inspired by Wyllie in his lifetime.
