Join our Board of Trustees at Tall Stories
We want to develop our board so it best reflects who we are and where we work.
We are looking to recruit individuals to join our vibrant and engaged Board of Trustees to lead the company through an important phase in our development, to support and guide the delivery of our artistic work and our Islington community and outreach programme.
We are particularly interested in candidates with knowledge and experience of some/all of the following:
Education, community and outreach
Artistic visioning and strategy at mid-scale
Digital reach and audience development
We are particularly interested in candidates who feel passionately about the need for diversity and inclusion in the arts. Knowledge of the Borough of Islington would be of interest.
This is a voluntary position but all pre-agreed expenses will be covered.
If you are excited about what we do and how we do it and feel like your experience can add value to our board, please get in touch at recruitment@tallstories.org.uk – we’d love to hear from you.
Casting
We welcome submissions from performers throughout the year. We hold workshop auditions 3-4 times a year and performers are often considered for multiple projects. Roles are usually advertised on Spotlight and elsewhere.
Please email your Spotlight link or CV (with headshot included) to info@tallstories.org.uk along with a short covering email telling us why you are interested in working with Tall Stories. We are particularly keen to hear about your experience or training in physical theatre, puppetry, devising and storytelling. Please also let us know if you are performing locally, and we will always do our best to come and see your production.
Stage Managers and Creatives
We are always on the look-out for potential new stage managers and if you are interested in working with us please send your CV to info@tallstories.org.uk. Please specify your experience in touring, company management, relighting and sound operating (including QLab and radio mics).
Creatives interested in working with us (directors, designers, composers, lighting designers, etc.) should also send their CV to info@tallstories.org.uk.
We have adopted the Anti Racism Rider as an important statement of intent and will work with colleagues from across the industry to implement this. As a working company, we have made a commitment over the next (up to 2) years to meet the baseline actions of the rider.’
