Are you an Early Career d/Deaf Artist interested in non-verbal, physical storytelling? Fancy the chance to be part of Vamos Theatre’s Elevate 2025 free four-day training residency in mask and physical theatre?
Vamos Theatre’s Elevate programme is designed to train and inspire the next generation of artists from diverse communities across the UK (18 years +). You can be either higher education graduates with at least one professional contract, an older performer or theatre maker who has just started to work professionally or perhaps you have recently left school but are already working in the arts - all are welcome. The programme begins with a series of free full mask taster sessions, held across the country, where you can immerse yourself in Vamos Theatre’s approach to mask theatre, creating physical character and devising non-verbal theatre that connects and moves audiences. The session at Bristol Old Vic will be delivered in BSL and led by Vamos Theatre’s d/Deaf practitioners Ciaran O’Breen and Mary-Jayne Russell de Clifford and will have interpreters present.
From these nationwide taster workshops, Vamos Theatre selects a group of artists to attend a free residency in September 2025, where you’ll receive intensive training and space to create public performances. All Elevate graduates will become part of our Alumni and be offered opportunities for further online and in-person training in the future.
Who is it for?
This training is open to all 18+ Early Career Artists who have at least one professional theatre-based experience on their CV. The taster workshops are open to all, and the company is particularly interested in working with artists from the global majority and those from low socio-economic backgrounds.
