Lead by Design Bursaries
Presented in collaboration with The Envelope Room
Lead by Design is a 1 week intensive creative bursary available for theatre designers from all visual disciplines (set, costume, lighting and video).
We have a unique opportunity for designers! We are offering 3 bursaries for designers to spend an intensive week developing an idea they have for a design led, site inspired piece of work.
Designers rarely get to lead the process, this is an opportunity for you to take and idea you have and use our bursary of £2000 to develop your idea into a seed. This intensive week is for you if:
- You are interested in creating design led work.
- Have a passion for creating work in non theatre spaces.
- Are willing to commit to a full intensive week of developing your idea.
As the creative lead you will be given a budget and mentoring support. Selected creatives will begin the work together in a short workshop and reconnect at the end of the week where we will share a snippet of what we have developed and support each other to consider the next steps.
Who is this for?
This intensive week is for designers who have an idea they wish to develop as the lead artist.
