Calling All Freelance Workshops Leaders & Theatre Practitioners

Freelance Workshop Leaders/Theatre Practitioners:

We have a number of paid opportunities year round in and around Scarborough for freelance workshop leaders and skilled theatre practitioners to deliver youth and community projects, our ongoing youth theatre activity, and a range of creative sessions in schools.

We are looking for individuals who:

• Have experience of working with children and young people, particularly within a theatre or performing arts context.

• Are confident in delivering workshops that engage, educate, and inspire creativity in education settings.

• Can create open, inclusive, and safe spaces where participants feel empowered to explore their potential.

• Are adaptable, creative, and committed to using the arts to support the personal, social, and creative development of children, young people, and adults in the community. 

We're keen to meet people with a range of professional experiences from early career to established artists. You will lead workshops in local schools and with our youth theatre groups. You will play a key role in shaping the next generation of theatre-makers, helping them grow in confidence, develop collaborative skills, and cultivate their artistic expression.
