Our collaboration STRIVE is hiring

What is STRIVE?

STRIVE is a brand new collective composed of two exciting and established Deaf & hearing led companies with a shared ethos, Hot Coals Productions and The DH Ensemble. Both companies have a reputation for creating high quality productions which are inclusive to Deaf and hearing audiences and share a desire to push boundaries in theatre and champion access. Through STRIVE, we aim to work together to build resilience and sustainability for the future by sharing resources. Both companies continue to operate independently but will share administrative resources and work together on projects.

The Green Room Project

The Green Room marks our first project under the banner of STRIVE. Funded by Arts Council England, it is a series of twelve accessible digital video and audio interviews. Each will be hosted by a different member of STRIVE (the artists who run Hot Coals and The DH Ensemble). The series will be fun, entertaining and enlightening and will celebrate Deaf and disabled artists, companies which demonstrate creativity & excellence in access and creatives who have adapted their working style to accommodate Deaf & disabled artists.

What are we looking for?

We are looking to fill two short term freelance roles.

This is an exciting opportunity to work not only for two companies at the forefront of accessible work, Hot Coals Productions and DH Ensemble, but to be a part of the first steps of this new, innovative, and forward thinking collective.
