Behind the Scene

Behind the Scene is an ongoing series from Bradford Producing Hub that allows Bradford's performance makers to observe rehearsals and R&D processes.

Have you ever wanted to be a fly on the wall and see how other performance companies undertake their rehearsal and R&D process? This is your opportunity to peek behind the scenes and see how directors, choreographers and performance-makers bring their ideas to reality and embed quality into their making processes.

Who is Behind the Scene is for

Behind the Scene is for:

Directors, choreographers and performance-makers who are working professionally (this is not a student opportunity).
Artists who are living or working in Bradford, or have a strong creative connection to the Bradford district.
Artists at any stage of their career. You might be just starting your journey and wanting to develop your experience around directing or choreography. Or you may be much further along in your professional career and want to see how other people approach the making process.
Artists who are happy to quietly observe and not interfere in the process; who can be proactive in thinking about what is useful to their practice and what they can take away from the experience.
Those who have not previously undertaken a Behind the Scene placement.
