Creatives needed for two innovative talent development programmes
Location: One London/Perth based, the other in Saudi Arabia (one of 3 cities)
Requirement: Arabic Speaking / UK based
These are paid opportunities
Who are we looking for ?
a) 5 x UK-based, Arabic-speaking designers who would be keen to work with their aspiring Saudi counterparts on a 2 week programme of skills exploration in London (18th-30th July). Any applicants based in Scotland could join the programme in Perth (1st Aug-8th Sept). The hope is that longer term links are made between individuals with a shared passion for an aspect of design or production. A small fee to cover time/expenses will be paid to each UK participant joining this opportunity.
b) 6 x UK-based, Arabic-speaking creatives who would be keen to travel with us to work with our lead practitioners in Saudi for one of the 3 week programmes – Riyadh (25th Sept-13th Oct), Dammam (2nd-20th October), Jeddah (9th-27th Oct). We are looking for aspiring/practicing musical director/repetiteurs, choreographer/dance captains, director/workshop leaders. The hope is that longer term links could lead to work being created with the emerging Saudi talent and other collaborations forged. This is a paid opportunity plus all expenses covered.
