Application deadline: Friday 10 May 2019
TROUPE is seeking a set and costume designer to work in close collaboration with the company on a new show in 2019-2020.
What we do
TROUPE shows combine engaging musical performances, embodied storytelling and mischievous audience interaction. Our shows are devised and performed by the company: Catherine Carter (Voice), Jessie Maryon Davies (Piano), Sophie Rivlin (Cello) with scripts written by Kate Wakeling.
Our last two shows – The Bad Mood and The Empty Chair (supported by Arts Council England) – were created for family audiences and have toured internationally. We are now interested in developing a new show for adult audiences, but which retains this exuberant mix of musical repertoire from across the ages, clowning, a playful poetry-led script and audience interaction.
