Hopper - Call out for Artists, Take Art

Take Art, Surrey Arts and China Plate are looking for submissions from theatre makers to take part in an exciting two-year pilot project that will create opportunities for young children to experience high quality performances in Early Years (EY) settings in Somerset and Surrey.

The partners are also working with the egg in Bath and three key theatres and arts centres: The Brewhouse Theatre & Arts Centre in Taunton; Bridgwater Arts Centre and Camberley Theatre as well as with many Early Years settings.

Hopper is funded by Arts Council England through its Strategic Touring programme. Successful applicants will be entered into a ‘menu’ of companies offered to EY settings in Somerset and Surrey as well as selected theatres in both counties. There are also opportunities to develop and test new ideas for EY shows at residencies hosted by venues in Somerset or Surrey and in partnership with local Early Years settings.

All artists presenting work will be paid guaranteed fees: there are fees available for attending the residencies and bursaries available to adapt existing shows for EY settings.
