JERWOOD TRAINEE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR: Tribe

An opportunity to assist TD Moyo this autumn for the Taking Part production Tribe

Young vic

Deadline:

For: New directors and theatre makers

Greater London

The Trainee Assistant Director role provides an opportunity for a director or theatre maker to gain experience working on a show at the Young Vic. The opportunity to support and observe the director in rehearsals, previews, and run of a show will provide the Trainee Assistant Director with the experience of the workings of the rehearsal room, the relationships between the creative team, the craft of the actor, and the process of making a show from first day of rehearsals through to opening night. They will have the opportunity to gain first-hand experience in a supported environment working alongside a director on a professional production. We hope the chance to observe a rehearsal and production process of a show will give the Trainee the confidence to apply for assistant director roles, either at the Young Vic or elsewhere.
