BAME Theatre Maker Opportunity

Paper Balloon seek a BAMER theatre maker to observe and participate in their creative practice, with a view to future collaboration.
Paper Balloon is a company inspired to make original devised theatre for children and families with a strong emphasis on live music and puppetry. We are ambitious and strive to make work with the highest possible production values that is both striking in its design, fun in its execution and has something for parents and children alike.
​
 Paper Balloon are currently working on a remake of their popular show The Boy and the Mermaid which will tour to 18 venues in London and the UK in Spring 2019.  The project is funded by Arts Council England with support from our partner venues Pegasus and artsdepot.
