LeftCoast is looking for male participants between the ages of 18 – 40 to take part in an exciting, UK wide, theatre project for Summer 2016, working with partners in England, Scotland and Wales.

We are looking to recruit individuals who are dedicated and enthusiastic about taking part in a one-off, large-scale event, which will be directed by an award-winning team. Alongside hundreds of other people, you will be taking part in a performance that will mark a moment in national history.

To take part, you must be available on all of the following dates:

  • Wednesday 11 May 6pm to 9pm
  • Wednesday 18 May 6pm to 9pm
  • Wednesday 25 May 6pm to 9pm
  • Sunday 5 June 2pm to 5pm
  • Wednesday 8 June 6pm to 9pm
  • Wednesday 15 June 6pm to 9pm
  • Sunday 19 June all day
  • Sunday 26 June all day
  • Friday 1 July all day

Sessions will take place in Blackpool.

Due to the nature of the performance, all participants will require a good level of physical fitness. The roles will require no previous experience, however you will need to be comfortable performing in a public space. There will be a selection process for the project, for further information please email info@leftcoast.org.uk   

There are also opportunities for project assistants, runners and stage managers, if you have more time to dedicate to this unique project.
