HOME in Manchester has a new theatre talent development programme, offering opportunities to theatre makers at all career stages to develop and extend their practice.
Throughout the year, the venue will offer one-off skills workshops, long-term development residencies and regular showcases of work, new and in progress, all aimed at supporting the professional development of artists regionally and nationally.
Highlights include T1 Commission 2019, a pilot two-year residency for one theatre maker to take part in a tailored development programme, leading to the commission of a piece of work for HOME’s Theatre 1, and Made at HOME, a research and development programme for mid-career theatre makers to experiment and explore cross-artform ideas and collaborations; alongside a series of specialist skills workshops, directors’ residencies in partnership with the JMK Trust.
The new programme will also present training courses and theatre festivals including Orbit, featuring productions from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and beyond, and PUSH, a two-week festival shining a light on regional talent.
HOME is also welcoming two new associate companies: 1927 (Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea, The Magic Flute, Golem) and Mighty Heart Theatre (When I Feel Like Crap I Google Kim Kardashian Fat, What’s The Matter With You?). They join existing associate Quarantine.
