Help bring the magic of ZooNation’s 20th Anniversary show Mixtape to life and be a part of our backstage team at Sadler’s Wells.
ZooNation is offering a paid placement opportunity on our upcoming 20th anniversary show – Mixtape – at Sadler’s Wells. This initiative aims to increase the diversity of people performing backstage roles, since members of the Global Majority are currently underrepresented in this area.
To be eligible to apply for this placement, you must:
– 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
– Be available for all placement dates
– Be from the Global Majority. In reference to our Black Lives Matter Pledge, we particularly encourage applications from those of African or Caribbean heritage.

We recognise the challenges many young people, families and those in isolation are facing this winter. We’re working with some fantastic ZooNation artists to bring you a brand new series of Dance On Demand that is designed to keep the whole family moving, regardless of age or experience!
‘Groove On Down At Home’ is inspired by the music and moves behind ZooNation’s 2013 production Groove on Down the Road. Each episode is themed around a different character and moment from the show, so you can discover your inner lion’s courage, or learn to loosen up with the tin man. Get off the naughty step and join us every Friday afternoon at 3pm to blow off some steam and dance along for 15 minutes of feel good fun.
The first episode ‘The Tin Man with Dylan Mayoral’ premieres on our YouTube channel at 3pm, Friday 29th Jan
