Actor-Facilitator & Facilitator

4 weeks ago


Coventry, United Kingdom Belgrade Theatre Trust (Coventry) Ltd Full time

We are looking for one actor-facilitator and one facilitator to be part of our upcoming theatre-in-education tour of Big School for primary schools.

Project Overview:

Big School is an original Theatre-in-Education programme for children in Year 6 that combines live theatre with participatory activities and exploration. The show is designed to support young people to explore their feelings about the move to secondary school and to equip them with useful strategies for dealing with issues of transition.

The Theatre-in-Education programme is approx. 90 minutes.

We are casting for two roles: one actor facilitator to play the character of Mo and one facilitator to lead the participatory activity within the programme.

We are looking for an actor (male or male identifying) based in Coventry or the West Midlands, ideally with experience of either TIE or working with children and young people.

Mo is an 11-year-old child who isn’t ready to make the move to secondary school but is struggling to share his feelings with his mum and best friend, Ash. We are looking for somebody who can embody the energy and natural playfulness of an 11-year-old.

You will also support the participatory activity within the programme, assisting the facilitator to work with the children to make sense of what is happening in the story.

You will need to be an exceptional communicator and have an ability to hear what the young people have to offer.
