About the job
Darlington Hippodrome are seeking to recruit a Casual Arts Course Tutor to lead our 13+ Youth Theatre class.
Hippodrome Youth Theatre classes offer young people in Darlington the opportunity to come together to create excellent performance work. Our sessions are fun, welcoming and engaging, and provide a chance for everyone to take part in safe, friendly environment. Young people get to make friends, become part of a team and contribute their individual creative ideas to make exciting, inspiring theatre.
Young people work towards annual performance opportunities at either the Hippodrome or Hullabaloo theatres. Sessions also include opportunities to take part in workshops with theatre companies and guest practitioners.
