Hip Hop Production Specialist, Academy Breakin' Convention, Sadler's Wells

Academy Breakin' Convention (ABC) is the UK's first Level 3 Extended Diploma in Performance and Production Arts focused on Hip Hop Theatre. The course is for 16-19 years (up to 25 years with an Education Health Care Plan) and is one of the major initiatives at our new venue, Sadler's Wells East. Our brand-new fourth venue in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, in Stratford.

We're looking for 2 experienced hip hop professionals with specialisms in either Music Production or Djing to join our team. We want you to share your love and knowledge of hip hop culture across dance, music and visual art and recent experience of the creative industries. Join us and be part of something groundbreaking with our first cohort of students starting in September 2025!

All hip hop specialists should have a track record of working in the creative industries and with young people aged 14-24. This role will work with our ABC Assessment and Pastoral Leads to support learners to successfully complete the UAL level 3 qualification through co-creation of lessons that prepare the next generation of leaders entering the creative industries.

As a production specialist you will mentor students. Production lessons will broaden understanding of various ways hip hop can be explored as a tool to support accessibility, improve communication and increase community engagement at a show or event.

We're particularly keen on working with creatives who have an interest in addressing the barriers around accessing the arts and how we may create theatre and events which has inclusion, community and equity at its core. You will work in a dynamic and creative environment, where you can make a positive impact on the lives and careers of emerging talent. If this sounds like you, please apply today!

We welcome all applications by 11:59 BST on 13 May 2025. Demo lessons and interviews will take place online on 23 May 2025, 9am - 6pm BST.
