Restoke is an arts organisation based in Stoke-on-Trent creating unmissable performances in unusual places. We co-create our performances to share the most important and engaging stories from our communities. The project Man Up aims to engage more men in the performing arts and co-create a performance, driven by the experiences of the participants.

Role involves:
Running taster workshops for men in the community January - March 2018
Participating in the research and development of a new performance and bringing other people's ideas to life April - June 2018
Producing spoken-word content, rehearsing, and performing in Man Up alongside a combined cast of community and professional performers June - August 2018

We are looking for a highly-skilled male spoken-word artist and writer with experience of working with community participation who is based within a reasonable distance of Stoke-on-Trent in order to travel in for workshops and rehearsals.

Fee: £3650 (based on 24 days at £150 per day)
