Princess Ida at the Minack – G&S

19:30, Mon 23rd September 2019 - Fri 27th September 2019 at The Minack Theatre
14:30, Tue 24th September 2019 at The Minack Theatre
14:30, Thu 26th September 2019 at The Minack Theatre
Summer Vacation

Applications for Choreographer, Assistant Musical Director, and Hair and Makeup Artist

At Cambridge, we are unbelievably lucky to have an established annual slot at the beautiful Minack theatre in Cornwall. Each year for over 40 years, the CUG&S Society has mounted a production of one of Gilbert and Sullivan’s operas in this unique and breathtaking open-air theatre carved into the cliffs at Porthcurno. This year, we will be putting on Princess Ida, which was inspired by the founding of Girton College and contains some of the most loved music in the whole G&S repertoire.

The Choreographer will work closely with the director in creating the movement world of the show, taking charge of certain scenes or sections of the show. We are particularly interested in anyone with experience of stage combat or stunt work. This is an opportunity to gain experience in directing a large production and to hone skills in bringing a show to life.

The Assistant Musical Director will work closely with the Musical Director to rehearse the show and manage the orchestra. Part of the work involves acting as a repetiteur/trice for some rehearsals, so being able to play the piano is a must for this role. You will also be able to play in the orchestra on another instrument if you want to and there are lots of opportunities to put your stamp on the music of the show.

The Hair and/or Makeup Artist is an important part of the preparation for each show, transforming the large cast into exciting characters. This production will involve transforming the women’s chorus into fantastical Valkyrie-inspired warrior women and so there is an opportunity for lots of creativity as well as more conventional makeup and hair work. We are open to applications from individuals or pairs for this role/roles.

To apply, please send a short email to us at cambridgeminack@gmail.com, with any experience relevant to the role you want to apply for (deadline is Sunday 5th May at 10pm). Applicants need to be available 6th-28th September and the company fee (accommodation, food, etc.) for these positions is about £100. We don’t believe money should be a barrier to participation, so there are bursaries available for travel and accommodation.

Deadline: Sunday 5th May 22:00
