The applicant must:
- Have strong physical training
- Have a playing age between 32-40

- Be comfortable with singing and vocal experimentation
- Be daring and playful with a sense of humour

- Happy to reduce Covid risk in the 2 week run up to/ and during rehearsals and take regular LFT’s
The health and mental well being of the performer will always be a priority and great care will be taken when dealing with sensitive material.
‘Us Against the World’ will be an ambitious show that smashes distorted, normalised & even idealised beliefs that society teaches us about romance & love which can lead to abusive relationships, domestic violence & even death.
It is a story about the colossal strength it takes to break free from psychological domestic abuse.
The R&D will consist of exploring movement, writing, dramaturgy, story-telling, tech & song.
