JMK National Directors' Programme 2022

Situation

With theatres closed nationwide, opportunities to engage with and participate in theatre making have been severely limited. As they reopen, employment and financial pressures present greater barriers to artists from all sorts of backgrounds. At this crucial time we want to engage, inspire and upskill those people whom theatre might otherwise lose.

Solution

This project will offer free workshops, mentoring and networking in-person and online to reach people with different support needs in different places. This will enable all those with an interest in working as a theatre director/theatre maker the chance to gain support in developing their career regardless of their individual circumstances, location or socio-economic background. We will draw upon our years of experience of working with directors around the country and our industry networks.
