Do you have a really good idea for a children’s theatre performance?

We are offering a paid artist commission for theatre makers who are currently under-represented or who are new to the Performance for Young Audiences (PYA) sector. This opportunity is for artist aged 18 and above who live are form or have a connection to the Rochdale Borough; are currently under-represented; or who are new to our sector of creating work for young audiences.

The new idea will be developed into a short 15 minute performance for Rochdale Borough Festival of Ideas.
