The NCT is providing an opportunity to apply for aspiring young directors to gain experience under the mentorship of the CEO and artistic director of NCT.
Applications are hereby invited to a short-term contract position as a NACTIES junior director.
NCT has an established performance group for children (ages 7 to 17) who can sing, dance and act, called NACTIES. Each director will be required to direct a one-act production with a group of 5 to 7 Nacties.
Successful candidates will be required to attend pre-production meetings. The NACTIES classes will run every Saturday from 12:30 to 14:30 during the school term beginning Saturday, 23 January 2016. The final product will be showcased in their box theatre at the end of the term, and parents, public and press will be invited to attend. If successful, the NTC may add additional public performances.
Please note that this is a learning opportunity, similar to an internship, and may result in further work in the future.
Applications should be received by no later than Wednesday, 23 December 2015. Successful applicants will be advised of an interview.
Venue: National Children’s Theatre, 3 Junction Avenue, Parktown, Johannesburg.
