Youth Panel Member

Curve Theatre would like to invite up to three creative, passionate and dedicated 18 – 26 year olds to join its existing Youth Panel. These voluntary, unpaid positions help provide insight from a young person’s perspective into the direction of the theatre and play an integral role in ensuring Curve continues to engage with young people from across Leicester, Leicestershire and beyond. Acting as ambassadors for Curve, Youth Panel Members will be expected to get involved and support Curve as a registered charity (230708) and ensure that young people are central to our plans and ambitions. No formal experience is required, but it is essential you can demonstrate a clear commitment to Curve and/ or the arts. Our current panel consists of young people with a range of experiences with Curve. Whether you frequently attend our shows, or you’ve never stepped foot in a theatre before, we encourage all individuals who have an interest and commitment to making the arts more inclusive to apply. The successful candidates must currently live, work or learn in Leicestershire, have excellent communication skills, and a commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusivity. The Youth Panel will meet up to six times a year and successful applicants will commit to a minimum of 24 months (and max 36-months). In addition to meetings, the panel will take part in training, attend performances and workshops. All Youth Panel meetings will be held in the evenings to work alongside employment or studies. Meetings can be attended virtually and in person, although in person is preferred. The Youth Panel are invited to Made At Curve Press Nights, as well as opportunities to meet Senior members of the Curve Team and attend events with stakeholder and funders as well as youth and community events.
