Two Female Actors, Theatre Company Blah Blah Blah

Theatre Company Blah Blah Blah are looking for two female actors to perform the roles of Scheherazade and Dunyazad in a two-hander participatory theatre performance for ages 7 – 10 years called A Tale to Tell. Touring will take place during May and June 2017 to schools, theatre venues and library settings.

A Tale to Tell is based on The Arabian Nights and integrates bilingual performance, shadow play and participatory opportunities for the audience.

Both roles require experience of acting as well as working with children and young people or performing to young audiences. Experience of facilitation, especially in storytelling and story-making is desirable. Where none is held then a keen interest in learning the necessary skills to facilitate children’s participation is required.

The roles are very much suited to those who value creative opportunities for children and young people and a flexible and sensitive approach to the requirements of working in schools is required. There is also an expectation that the successful candidates will take an active role in developing and refining the performance in response to audience reactions. The roles also involve helping with stage management duties such as unloading the van; carrying, assembling and dismantling a simple theatre set.

To apply for this role, you will need to complete and return an application form, together with an up to date CV to deborah@blahs.co.uk. Please also complete a monitoring form. See link below.

The deadline for applications is Thursday 17th November 2016 at 5.00pm and shortlisted candidates will be contacted by the end of Friday 18th November 2016.
