Arts Practitioner - Theatre, Eden Court Highlands

Eden Court is a creative beacon in the Highlands. Our Engagement programme offers supported access to the arts, positively impacts health and wellbeing and provides training for the next generation of talent. We believe everyone is an artist and offer inclusive, creative engagement opportunities to people at every stage of life. Through our work we aim to create a thriving and resilient creative community across the Highlands.

We do this by offering a yearly programme of classes, qualifications and targeted projects that work with people who face barriers to accessing the arts. Each year we engage with over 15,000 people aged 0-80+ in schools, out in the community and at Eden Court.

Our work is delivered across three strands:

Our Young Creatives programmes offer training and development for those interested in pursuing a career in the creatives industries.

Our Schools programmes offer an entry point to the arts for young people across the Highlands, with a focus on reaching those with the least access and developing creatively confident teachers.

Our Community programmes support wellbeing, bring people together and address social issues through creativity.
