Dates: Monday 17th March – Friday 21st March, 10am – 5pm (you must be available for all dates)
Fee: £600 for the week
Project Overview: In the week of 17 – 21 March 2025, Spare Tyre will be resident at Stephen Joseph Theatre undertaking a week of research and development for our next sensory show, for people living with dementia and their carers.
The Role: We’re looking for a facilitator to assist with setting up and facilitating 2 sensory workshops for people with dementia. During the week at the Stephen Joseph Theatre, you will be assisting with the devising process of a new sensory show.
Person Specification: You can be at any stage of your professional theatre career (age 20+) and you may or may not have experience of sensory non-verbal theatre, or working with older people living with dementia. You do need to be open to experiencing both, to be patient and kind. This will be an opportunity to learn our techniques and contribute to our process. Experience of improvisation, object animation, movement skills and non-verbal communication is an advantage but not a requirement.
We’re particularly keen to hear from facilitators/performers from a global majority background and/or identifying as disabled from within Scarborough’s or the local area’s creative community.
How to apply: The deadline to apply is Tuesday 4th March 2025, at 10am. Interviews will be held online or in person on Monday 10th March 2025.
If you would like to be part of the R&D week, and if you meet the person specification, please send your CV, with two referees we can contact at any time for safeguarding purposes, and a short letter (no more than one-side of A4 or 1 minute of audio) explaining your interest in the project to sara@sparetyre.org.
