Coalesce are looking for an LGBTQIA performer to understudy both roles in their latest work Pants! Rehearsals will take place in February, with performances throughout spring and summer.

They need the artist to have a strong performance quality, alongside excellent contemporary technique, with specific focus on partner work. The right candidate will be confident and comfortable with performing in unusual venues, to teenage audiences. For this phase of development the company will also be working with a set/structure, so artists need to be athletic and strong in their upper body.

Confirmed rehearsal dates: 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 28th and 29th February.

Performances dates are to be confirmed. The understudy will need to adopt a flexible approach to performances, with the awareness that they are likely to be needed at reasonably short notice.

With support from the https://www.artfund.org/ – Art Fund, they are recruiting a freelance artist to look at their longstanding Build a Banner workshop and redevelop it to ensure it meets the values and aims of our new Learning Programme.

The Build a Banner workshop in its current form is a full day session where learners find out about the history and symbolism of PHM’s unique collection of historic and contemporary banners, and work with an artist to create their own banner on a theme of their choice.

As part of their evaluation process, we have been collecting feedback on this workshop from students, young people, teachers, and youth workers, and you will use this to inform your development ideas. Working with PHM’s Learning Officers, they would like you to develop both a half day and a full day version of the workshop. You will then run testing workshops with groups of young people and children from both formal and informal learning groups.

These workshops will mainly be based at the museum, though some sessions may need to take place in the groups’ own settings. The evaluation from the testing sessions will inform any further changes they will make to the workshop, and whether it will be offered as a half or full day workshop.

Please submit an expression of interest, with the following information to Jackie Royle, Finance & Operations Officer at hr@phm.org.uk by 12pm on Monday 8 January 2024. You can submit an audio or video recording if preferred.

• Brief CV that includes relevant examples of workshops you have delivered and/or developed (maximum two sides of A4).

• A statement of your suitability for this work and why you would like to undertake it (maximum 500 words).

• A costed proposal for delivery of this brief, including timescales.

• Two testimonials/references.

• Relevant examples from your portfolio or website.
