Jerwood Associate Artist, ThickSkin

ThickSkin Theatre is an award-winning touring company and a driving force in Wigan Borough's growing cultural ecology. ThickSkin has earned a national reputation for its bold, high quality theatre productions blending text, movement and design.

The Jerwood Associate Artist will work closely with ThickSkin's Artistic Director to support planning, rehearsals and performances for a range of projects in our summer and autumn seasons.

Throughout this period, the Jerwood Associate Artist will also be supported to develop their own project/s and ideas. Working from our fully equipped studio theatre in the heart of Wigan, you will be given resource, mentoring and producing support by the wider ThickSkin team.

We are looking for an artist with devising experience and enthusiasm for a multi-disciplined approach to theatre-making. The right person for this role will be a theatre director who draws on other disciplines in their practice, whether through text, movement, design or technology.

In addition to a weekly fee, the Jerwood Associate Artist will receive financial support to relocate to Wigan and a small budget to resource the development of their project.

This opportunity is made possible through support from the Jerwood Foundation.
