Could you be a Trustee?

Daedalus Theatre Company is on the lookout for new trustees. We need people who believe in the value of the performing arts to celebrate diversity, connect communities, foster understanding and explore big ideas. Might this be you?

The trustees’ role is to provide oversight and advice to the artistic director and ensure the company meets its legal requirements, such as reporting to the Charity Commission. The core part of the role is attending four meetings a year, currently via Zoom, and checking the annual report. There’s occasionally some additional paperwork, and some trustees also choose to provide advice on their areas of expertise outside of formal meetings. The role is voluntary. 

Dysbiosis: Call for Creative Practitioners

A paid opportunity to be part of an exciting new project!

We’re seeking a range of creative practitioners – from performers and theatre-makers to artists and filmmakers – to be part of making our next production. This is an opportunity to join the research and development process for a new theatre project exploring our relationship with nature. Dysbiosis (working title) will examine topics including the language we use to speak about nature, the Global North’s relationship to the natural world and queer ecology. It will also investigate greener ways of making theatre, partly building on the ideas of Ecostage.

We’re looking for practitioners to join us at Queens Theatre Hornchurch for part or all of the week of 27th March. We particularly encourage people from Outer East London and South Essex to apply. We’re interested in people from all backgrounds and at all stages of their professional careers, though experience in devising would be beneficial. We can pay artists £175 per day pro rata up to a maximum 5 days.
