The Regeneration Season centres around LGBTQIA+ stories and perspectives – it’s therefore important that the majority of our creative team identify as LGBTQIA+ and we actively welcome applications from this community. We also actively welcome applications from artists of the global majority (that we recognise being inclusive of Indigenous, African, Asian, or Latin American diasporas), artists who are d/Deaf, disabled or neurodiverse, or artists who have lived experience of homelessness or benefit receipt.
ABOUT THE REGENERATION SEASON
The Regeneration Season is a programme by Relish Theatre, featuring three innovative plays that platform LGBTQIA+ voices and are produced using sustainable practices. The plays—‘Acid’s Reign,’ ‘Puppy,’ and ‘Caterpillar Soup’—each bring a unique perspective on the theme of regeneration, exploring topics from the queerness of nature to feminist comedy and the journey of healing from trauma.
