From the producers of Sleep No More…
I’m a creative associate with Punchdrunk, the UK-based immersive theatre company (our show Sleep No More has been running in New York for the past six years). In 2016 we set up a Lab in New York to develop new projects across different platforms and are collaborating with various companies on creative programs including both live experiences and digital projects.
We are on the lookout for new creative collaborators to potentially join our New York based Punchdrunk team and assist the company’s directors in the development and creation of new projects.
Below is our (very broad) person spec for reference. If you or any of your colleagues from ITP have any practitioners among your recent graduates that you think might be right for this opportunity please pass the word on and encourage them to send their CVs to our producer Gareth Collins at gareth@punchdrunk.org.uk.
Please let me know if I can provide you with any additional information or if a quick chat would be helpful. I can be reached at (646) 512-1668.
With best wishes,
Elizabeth Romanski
