Please email applications to lar58/agh50 with thoughts of any of the bullet points below, or drop us a message and we can arrange a call/meeting to chat about things if you'd prefer! See below for detailed descriptions of each role, but the main thing we're looking for is passion and creativity! Tell us: - Why you want to be involved in Angels in America - Part 2: Perestroika - Any previous or relevant experience you might have - Any creative or general ideas you might have for the show where applicable - Anything else you'd like us to know as part of your application! **Assistant Producer** I'm looking for someone to help bring the overall creative vision of this show to life and ensure the smooth running of what is quite frankly a huge endeavour for everyone involved! I'd love to work with someone who has some experience/idea of what they'd like to be involved in, but I'm just as open to someone who has never produced before, so this could be a great opportunity for anyone looking for something to ease them into the production side of things! **Technical Director and Set Assistant** We're lucky to be able to draw a lot of our inspiration from our set for Part 1, which means we already have a basic set design in place, but we're looking for a few people to turn our messy scribbles into something beautiful! We imagine that the TD will mostly responsible for building the physical set and bringing the design together, whilst the set assistant would be in charge of dressing the set and incorporating the details to ensure a consistent aesthetic, but we are open to interpretations of these roles, so drop as a line with any ideas you might have of how this could work! **Lighting Designer and CLX** We need someone to recreate some of the lighting wizadry witnessed in Millennium Approaches, so a strong creative and aesthetic eye is a must - we also need a CLX to help bring about the practicalities of the design, which is the perfect opportunity for anyone who has already dabbled a bit in the technicalities of lighting but might be looking to gain some more experience on a bigger show! **Stage Manager and DSM** This absolute chonk of a play runs at four hours (including two intervals) so we need a backstage team who can ensure the smooth running of such a mammoth beast - the stage manager will also be in charge of sourcing props, so there is plenty of room for you to get creative (including a prophetic book and flaming aleph, bonus points to any ideas for this in your applications)! **Costume Designer** As mentioned above, a consistent aesthetic is central to our production ideas and costume is a key part of that! We imagine the costume design for Part 2 will involve compiling a set of naturalistic costumes for the realistic scenes, but also will also hopefully present some interesting and creative design opportunities for costuming the more magical elements (such as the six Continental Principalities in heaven), so please send any initial ideas and examples of previous work you might have! **Publicity Designer** This a unique opportunity for anyone vaguely publicity orientated to have a go at something which hasn't been done in Cambridge before - not only has Perestroika never been performed here, but their hasn't (to our knowledge) ever been a sequel performance of this nature at the ADC, which means the publicity for the show needs to appeal both to people who saw Part 1 and those who have never even heard of the play. We already have a basic publicity design in mind, but we need someone with the design skills to turn our photo-based idea into a glorious poster, along with a programme and hopefully some other digital media to circulate online - feel free to send any examples of previous work along with your application! **Composer** We are looking for a composer to create some mostly vocal melodies in a kind of modernised choral arrangement to accompany the sound design - we are happy to offer more reference points for this, but it would be helpful to see what you come up with off the bat, so please send in a brief demo or sample of previous work! We can't wait to hear your thoughts - **THE DEADLINE TO APPLY IS FRIDAY 22ND NOVEMBER 8PM** Contact: lar58@cam.ac.uk and agh50@cam.ac.uk Deadline for applications: Friday 22nd November 20:00 *************************************************** Marlowe presents...

This production will aim to be as innovative and fluid as the Virginia Woolf novel upon which it is based - high aspirations! -- **Choreographer** It is really important to me that dance features heavily in this play! You’ll work closely with myself and the composer to find the right mood to fit each scene, and create pieces which will enhance the play, and in some cases include the actors as part of the scene. Because dance is so integral to my vision of this play, you would essentially be my co-director, and therefore I’m looking for somebody who is as passionate as I am about this project! **Composer** I would love the play to feature original music! You’ll work closely with myself and the choreographer to find the right mood to fit each scene, and then create pieces which will enhance the play. I am open to suggestions about the medium/instruments, though the play is very lyrical so something in keeping with that would be great. **Animator** I want to include animation! In the novel, Woolf writes lovely descriptive interludes, which I would love to recreate by having the scenes interspersed with animations. We would have a chat about how we might bring those interludes to life via projected animation, and then you would have creative control over the animations themselves! **Lighting Designer** I need somebody to help turn my very limited suggestions into a beautiful design which will enhance the play! You will collaborate with various members of the production team as well as myself, and have a lot of creative control over how to make the most of the tech opportunities. **Set Designer** The set for this play is a challenge, but hopefully a fun one! I envision whole room sets moving on and off stage, and other sets created dynamically by the actors and dancers! As the set designer you’ll have creative input, as well as being the person responsible for the practicalities of making this vision of fluidity possible. It will be a demanding but hopefully exciting project, which will require problem-solving and dedication. --- Please send applications to sat64@cam.ac.uk before the 23rd November detailing the role you are applying for, and the following: - what interests you about this production - any challenges you can foresee and how you would overcome these - any experience you have which would be relevant to the role If you are applying as a composer or animator, please send an example of your style along with your application. If you are applying as a choreographer, please indicate the dance forms you prefer to work in.

In your application, please outline any initial ideas you have for publicity design as well as any previous work. Movement Director - Between scenes movement will be used to reflect on and underline the action of the play.
