| Job Description |
The Bump In Project is seeking applications from Victorian emerging theatre designers and technicians.
This is a two-year project which aims to assist Victorian emerging theatre workers. I know from experience that getting into the professional Melbourne theatre scene is tough – not just for actors, but for techies too. And so in 2008 and 2009 I am trialing a pilot program which will assist local artists to get involved on a professional level.
The Bump In Project is offered in two parts. The first – Round A - is a mentorship in 2008 for one emerging theatre designer or technician. The second – Round B - is a grant, which will go towards subsidising a Victorian emerging group or individual performance during the 2009 Melbourne Fringe Festival.
The Bump In Project aims to:
• encourage ongoing participation in the professional theatre industry by Victorian emerging artists
• encourage new and original Australian performance
• aid in developing high quality local productions
• aid in the development of skills and experience for local performers and technicians
I am currently seeking applications for the 2008 Round A mentorship. It is specifically aimed at high school or university students, as well as recent graduates. It is hoped that by offering an emerging theatre technician/designer an opportunity to work on a professional performance, they will gain invaluable skills, add to their experience, and receive support during a time of transition.
The mentorship won’t just include one-on-one guidance and assistance, but a role in two professional productions to be staged next year, PLUS $100 for either theatre textbooks or theatre design software.
