a training programme for emerging producers
We’ve extended the deadline for submissions until 9am on Friday 26 May.
BLUEPRINT is a space to learn by doing. At its heart, it’s an opportunity for people who might otherwise never work professionally in theatre to develop their skills in producing and programming and create change in a sector that desperately needs new voices.
The emerging producers we select will meet regularly, whilst learning from the TFT Arts Team. Together they will curate and programme events that take place at TFT. It is our aim to ignite and support the trainee producers and hope that in turn, we too will be inspired and guided by their ideas.
We are proud to be offering this training FREE of charge, and hope that by doing so we will create pathways into the industry for people no matter their financial situation.
At a glance:
• Fortnightly workshops in producing and programming skills (3 hours per workshop)
• Opportunities to see shows and feed into our programming (all related expenses paid by Tobacco Factory Theatres)
• The trainee producers will curate a scratch festival in 2024 called SPARK, this will involve some additional commitments equating roughly 3 days
