Subject: [OSList] Job vacancy: Open Space Producer with Improbable (London, UK)
Hi OSList,
Thought this might be of interest to some you - Improbable (improvisation-led
theatre company based in London, UK) is recruiting a part-time Open Space
Producer to join us from Spring 2020. Details below - more info, including
application instructions can be found on our website:
https://www.improbable.co.uk/jobs/. Deadline for applications is 11pm GMT, Sun
29 March. Any questions, drop me Jeremy an email at [email protected].
– Overview–
Improbable is recruiting an Open Space Producer to join us from Spring 2020.
This is a central role within the company. Key responsibilities include:
- Shaping, planning and managing our Open Space events;
- Nurturing relationships with partners;
- Developing Improbable’s corporate Open Space for Hire offer;
- Looking after the nationwide community of arts folk who engage with our
Devoted & Disgruntled programme.
– About Improbable –
Led by Phelim McDermott and Lee Simpson, Improbable is a theatre company that
defies categorisation. We create work on every scale from remarkable
productions in the great opera houses to tiny improvisation gigs in the tiniest
venues; we are at the forefront of arts activism through Open Space, and create
ground-breaking participation work; we help to hold the history of
improvisation, and to shape and secure its future through the International
Institute of Improvisation, the iii!.
At the heart of our work is the practice and philosophy of improvisation, and
all our work draws on improvisatory processes such as Open Space and Worldwork.
This is true even for the large-scale opera and music theatre pieces that form
the bulk of Improbable’s upcoming programme. We are a company that follows our
intuition.
Improbable was founded in 1996 as a limited liability partnership; became a
charity in 2014; and is a National Portfolio Organisation of Arts Council
England 2018-22.
– Purpose of the Open Space Producer Role –
The Open Space Producer is responsible for the shaping and delivery of
Improbable’s Open Space events. There are two main strands to this work:
Devoted & Disgruntled and Open Space for Hire.
1. Devoted & Disgruntled (D&D) is an ongoing conversation about theatre and the
performing arts. Created in 2005, and facilitated using Open Space, Devoted &
Disgruntled brings together artists, audiences, funders, front of house staff,
puppeteers and production managers to work together on key questions in theatre
and the performing arts. The D&D programme comprises one annual 2.5 day event
and several smaller half-day events each year, and operates across the country.
Its website – devotedanddisgruntled.com – holds an archive of past
conversations, and a platform for ongoing discussion. D&D is the largest
gathering of independent artists and arts practitioners in the UK.
2. Open Space for Hire is what we call Improbable’s facilitation of Open Space
events for external organisations. Over the last few years, this has grown to
become an increasingly significant part of the charity’s work and of our annual
income, and has seen us facilitate events for arts, charitable, governmental
and commercial organisations. Recent Open Space clients include Turner
Contemporary, Southbank Centre, the Wellcome Trust, the Academy of Medical
Sciences, John Lewis, Open University, the Guilty Feminist / Joyful Resistance
and the European Parliament.
The Open Space Producer is responsible for both these areas of work. They will
work with the Artistic Directors to shape the D&D programme and with the
Executive Director to hone Improbable’s Open Space offer to external
organisations; and will work with the full team and external facilitators on
the delivery of D&D and Open Space events.
– Key Details –
Salary: £30,000/year pro rata, equivalent to £18,000/year for three days per
week
Hours: 24 hours/week. We anticipate that these hours will be worked over three
full days, but are open to other set-ups. This role will require working
evenings and weekends at Open Space events, for which Improbable operates a
Time Off in Lieu system.
• Place of work: The Open Space Producer will be based at Improbable’s London
office.
