The Production
The Acts is a meta-theatrical piece which brings together individual works (each 15-20 mins long) from five of the UK's most exciting disabled theatre makers & companies.

Join us inside the walls of a bustling but dysfunctional theatre, where four acts are hard at work on their latest productions: a solo show about love, joy, and cancer; a comedy about the ways neurodivergent people are expected to sell their stories for the stage; a theatrical adaptation of a short film entangling Greek mythology and the seaside pier; and a multisensory meditation on isolation and moon landings.

In a landscape of intense time pressures, and shoestring budgets, the performers are overstretched and undersupported. But can the fifth act – an absurdly inappropriate workplace wellness seminar solve all of their problems? Or do we just need an artistic revolution?

The Role
We are looking for an Audio-Description Consultant to help us to creatively embed audio description into the performances, working with writers to add this directly into the scripts, to write any establishing audio description, and working with the sound designer to maximise audio description within the soundscape of the show.

Essential qualities:
You must be disabled (to see what that means to CRIPtic, click here)
Experience in developing integrated audio-description for theatre shows
Experience working with creatives to embed audio-description into their scripts

Desirable qualities:
Experiencing working with disabled creatives

We will prioritise applications from blind/visually impaired applicants.

Please apply via our website.

We are particularly keen to hear from applicants who are from the global majority (a collective term for people of Indigenous, African, Asian, or Latin American descent), as well as applicants who cannot work without wheelchair access, BSL interpreters (when working with non-signers), or 1:1 support, as part of our commitment to ensuring we are creating opportunities for those whose needs may not be met elsewhere.

The deadline for applications is 5pm on Tuesday 4 June 2024.
