Join our backstage team
ZooNation is offering a paid placement opportunity on our upcoming 20th anniversary show – Mixtape – at Sadler’s Wells, as a part of our Behind the Scenes initiative. This initiative aims to increase the diversity of people performing backstage roles, since members of the Global Majority are currently underrepresented in this area.
We are offering a placement with the Mixtape Stage Management team.
The successful applicant will learn from and support our Deputy Stage Manager and Company Stage Manager.
The placement will involve working 10 sessions, which may be full or split days. This placement, will give the successful applicant hands on experience of working on a main stage production with ZooNation.

- Be aged 18+
- Have some experience or transferrable skills in theatre crew, such as through school or a project, but no formal qualification (such as a degree course) in this area.
