What is it?
Tara Young Company is a paid programme for 18 – 25 year olds to develop as theatre makers. The Tara Young Company was conceptualised and launched by Artistic Director Natasha Kathi-Chandra in 2022.
Who is it for?
We want to hear from all skillsets – you could be an actor, writer, director, designer or stage manager. You should be between the ages of 18 – 25 when applying and we especially encourage you to apply if you identify as having a history, background or connections to the Global South
Why is this important?
Tara Theatre is a space where politics, performance and activism come together. As an organisation dedicated to promoting social change through art and co-creation, this year’s Young Company production will explore the devastating impact of the climate crisis on communities in the Global South.
What will I receive?
Over a 4-month programme, you’ll have the opportunity to work with industry professionals and artists to develop your skills and build your networks. You will co-create a work for our stage here at Tara Theatre in April 2025 directed by our Associate Director, Gavin Joseph.
A total of 11 successful Young Company applicants will also be paid a fee of £900 for the rehearsal and performance period, making this a professional stage credit.
