The YMT:UK / Leverhulme Trust Training Scheme for Artistic Staff
During 2008-10, YMT: UK will be making sixteen bursary training places available every year for recent graduates or those in their second or third year of higher education wishing to gain work experience on music theatre projects working with young people. These places have been funded by the Leverhulme Trust and will be called the Leverhulme Training Awards.
The places available are:
- Assistant Director
- Assistant Musical Director
- Assistant Choreographer
- Designer
- Stage Manager
Each bursary involves working alongside our professional artistic staff on residential courses across the UK . The workshops usually involve between 25 and 45 young people aged 11-21. The bursaries are ideally suited to those wishing to make a career for themselves in music theatre or related areas and who are committed to working with young people.
The Productions involve young people selected from auditions across the UK. These projects will be creating new music theatre in a variety of genres.
The Studio, on the other hand, involves young people from a wide range of backgrounds, some from mainstream schools, some less advantaged children referred through Leaving Care Teams, Young Carers groups, Foyer projects and refugee organisations. A few may display various forms of challenging behaviour and integrating the various groups is an essential part of the project. The Studio projects are all one week long, starting on a Monday and finishing on a Saturday.
The programme of activity will vary but each trainee will have a considerable level of responsibility, the exact nature of which will be decided upon in conjunction with the director of the project.
More details of the traineeships available and an application form can be downloaded from the bottom of this page or the Downloads page.
