ASB COMMUNITY TRUST EMERGING ARTISTS PILOT PROGRAMME

PERFORMING ARTS PROGRAMME 2011

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

Silo Theatre, in association with Auckland Theatre Company and The NBR New Zealand Opera, is very

proud to announce the launch of a pilot programme aimed specifically at fostering apprenticeships in

the performing arts industry.

Opportunities will be provided for a group of paid apprentices to engage with professional

organisations over an extended period. For the 2011 Pilot Programme, we are seeking interest from

emerging practitioners in the areas of Set, Lighting and Costume Design, LX and Audio Operation,

Stage Management and Tour Management.

Each programme will be tailored to the needs of the individuals involved, as well as fitting in with the

timeframes and requirements of the partner organisations.

Successful applicants will have a proven interest in and commitment to the industry, an ability to

commit to the programme for its duration, enthusiasm and an open mind.

This programme is designed to deliver the following opportunities and outcomes:

- To provide experience for emerging performing arts practitioners in order for them to gain

experience in arts employment.

- To provide training and guidance to the emerging artist from experienced professionals

working in the industry.

- To provide a variety of work experiences on a full time basis for the project period, to

encourage flexibility, networking opportunities and a range of host environments and

settings.

- To provide ongoing mentoring and support for the participants.

- To increase the capacity of the performing arts sector in Auckland.

- To encourage arts organizations to work together to take responsibility for growth of the

sector and support for emerging artists.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank the ASB Community Trust for enabling the creation of this Pilot.

By ensuring the future health of our practitioner bases we hope to, in turn, assist in the further generation of a well-resourced, sustainable performing arts industry that is viable, vibrant, and supported by its professionals, audiences and investors alike.

If you would like more information, are interested in applying, or know someone who you think should

apply, please contact Frith via email on frith@silotheatre.co.nz.
