Designers and Production Crew

BACKGROUND

Young and Hungry Festival of New Theatre is comprised of three new New Zealand scripts written specifically for youth audiences. The Festival is performed and designed by 15-25 year olds in a two-week season at Bats theatre, with each of the three productions being performed every night.

Professional theatre practitioners are contracted by the Trust to mentor these young people in all facets of the Festival’s production, including: acting, lighting, sound, costumes, set, and stage management.

The rehearsal and design process runs over eight weeks to ensure that enough time is given to both the actors' development of their characters and the technical students' realisation of their design.

DESIGNERS AND PRODUCTION CREW

Young and Hungry Arts Trust is accepting expressions of interest from youth aged 15-25 years old who would like to be involved in the design and production of this year's festival shows. Participants will have an opportunity make their mark in areas of design and production (including costumes, sets, lighting, sound and stage management) while receiving support and mentorship from some of Wellington's leading theatre professionals.
