THE GULL REP:
YOUNG PERFORMERS and YOUNG PRODUCERS
For young people aged 15 – 24 (Year 11+)
The Gull Rep is a new professionally-led training programme for young people considering a career in the performing arts industry either on stage, in front of the camera or in one of many varied roles behind the scenes.
YOUNG PERFORMERS
Over three terms a small company of young performers will work with professional theatre practitioners to up-skill their stagecraft and practical knowledge across voice and physicality. The company will rehearse and perform a classic play and devise their own piece of theatre or film.
YOUNG PRODUCERS
Over three terms a cohort of young people will engage with a variety of roles behind the scenes at The Seagull Theatre and learn what it takes to stage a production, run a theatre company and manage a building. A slightly more bespoke course that will be shaped to the skills and interests of the participants. Whatever the specialism of each individual there will be opportunities to gain valuable experience and placements with arts organisations as well as producing your own show.
This is an opportunity for those who are serious about a future in the performing arts industry.
Apply now to enrol for the Sept 2023 – July 2024 creative company.
