We are looking for someone with some experience/training in directing, who could help us bring The Bridge Theatre's next show to the stage. We are looking for a candidate who already possesses some form of directing experience/training and/or can demonstrate an interest in pursuing theatre directing. As well as being in the rehearsal room and being part of the process including tech week, the chosen individual will also be required to attend shows, take down notes and liaise with the director, when the director is absent. The director will also provide one-to-one sessions to address any questions or queries that the individual might have vis-a-vis the show or their professional career.
We want this role to be as active as possible, so it will be ideal for somebody who can act like an extra set of eyes for the director in the rehearsal room, while still understanding that this is a supportive role, especially in shadowing the director to assist them in realising their vision for this show. This includes identifying gaps in the rehearsal room that need to be filled, communicating clearly with actors, stage management, The Bridge Theatre Team and all the other roles in the room, and being someone who isn't afraid to offer creative ideas.
You should be available full-time from Sunday 14 October to Sunday 24 November 2024 and expect to work both evenings and weekends.
This is an unpaid role but we promise a rewarding experience.
Application process:
If you are interested please get in touch with us with a short cover letter or a link to a video/audio file (no more than 3 minutes long) introducing yourself and your work, why you think you'd be suitable for the role and what you'd hope to learn from this experience.
Send to: info@thebridge.brussels by 31 August 2024.
If you have any questions, please email us at the same email address, and if you're unsure if you are the right person for this job (i.e never directed a play yet etc) - then we'd encourage you to apply anyway, as we are most interested in what you might learn from the process.
