The Belgrade’s B2 space: opening up for talent development

Coventry’s Belgrade Theatre is to give five Midlands-based creatives and companies an opportunity to develop their work in its B2 auditorium.

The Belgrade will offer up to five days in the space along with technical, producing and financial support. Coventry and Midlands-based theatre artists, creatives, storytellers and freelancers at any stage of their career may apply, especially those who have limited connections with the theatre industry or who have been unable to access other talent development opportunities.

Applications can be made through a face-to-face or online meeting, a written application, a video or a voice note. Applications close on Wednesday 17 August and applicants are welcome to meet Belgrade staff throughout July and August.

The measure is part of the Belgrade’s longer-term ambition to make talent development initiatives more inclusive and the theatre will be working with a consortium of Coventry organisations to achieve this.

The Belgrade’s chief executive Laura Elliot and creative director Corey Campbell said, “the whole team are passionate about trying new ways of working. We want to support the breadth of talent that exists here in Coventry and the wider Midlands region.”
