WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
Creating Routes is open to theatre-makers aged between 18 and 25 years old.
The programme is designed to diversify the field of participatory arts, so we are seeking applicants from cultural groups who are currently under-represented in the field e.g. Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic artists, those with disabilities and/or those who may not be able to access the traditional academic routes.
