Elisabeth Gunawan & Saksi Bisou are seeking a senior producer!


We are seeking an outstanding, driven and experienced Senior Producer to join us at a pivotal time for the company as we grow, expand and build the foundations for our work. The ideal candidate is someone with a passion for boundary-pushing work, underserved audiences & stories that have been historically marginalized; someone with a taste for our work who can also objectively provide encouraging & critical feedback; someone with strong networks and contacts in UK theatre and internationally; someone with solid experience getting physical theatre/dance work programmed in festivals and venues nationally & internationally; someone with a strong track record of strategic & action-oriented thinking to make small-scale/mid-scale work happen. Experience with programming across theatre and live/performance art would be a plus.

We are a small independent company with a track-record of critically-acclaimed and award-winning work that crosses between theatre and performance art. At the heart of our work is the desire to decolonise, transgress and empower, and this is reflected in the aesthetics of our boundary-pushing work. We have received Arts Council support for our project R&Ds in the past, and would like to build it up towards the project premiers and tours.

As our artists are mostly women and people of color, we want to hear from candidates who understand this lived experience and the importance of diverse perspectives. We understand that the language around this is constantly changing, and we endeavour to do the same.
