A new bursary scheme has been launched to support and develop the career of a first-generation migrant theatre producer.
PROJEKT EUROPA and Chris Grady Org (CGO) will award one aspiring producer a fully funded place on the CGO Diploma in Creative Producing and a 16-week paid work placement with PROJEKT EUROPA.
“The world needs more producers, especially producers who reflect the communities that artists wish to serve, and the stories that need to be told,” said Chris Grady, Director of CGO.
He added that CGO aims “to make connections for, and develop the skills of, those who will change the world one show at a time”.
Maria Aberg, Artistic Director of PROJEKT EUROPA, said the theatre company “is committed to internationalising the UK theatre industry by championing and platforming migrant talent, creating a more diverse and international sector”.
The diploma course runs from February to June 2023 and the placement will run from April onwards.
Candidates can be based anywhere in the UK. Applications close on 18 January.
