Framework Theatre are excited to be recruiting up to four new board members.
Framework Theatre is a charity run by emerging theatre-makers, for emerging theatre-makers. They support the development of early-career artists in Scotland. We aim to create new work championing underrepresented new voices and developing new routes into the sector. We prioritise access, diversity and fair work across our projects. After discovering a gap in the sector, Framework was created to provide specific and targeted opportunities for early-career professionals.
Framework was founded in 2018 and gained charitable status in 2022. They consist of three part-time employees, supported by a board of directors who represent emerging and established theatre artists.
Framework has three key strands in our work, CREATE, SUPPORT and CONNECT. The CREATE strand is where they create exciting new pieces of theatre, supporting new ideas and underrepresented voices. The SUPPORT strand is where we provide specific, tailored opportunities for artists to develop and upskill their careers. The CONNECT strand is where they provide opportunities for artists to network with peers and industry professionals.
They encourage anyone who wants to support their work to apply. At the moment they are particularly interested in hearing from those who bring one or more of the following skills/perspectives to the organisation:
– Financial expertise
– Legal expertise
– Emerging theatre-makers of any discipline with an interest in artist development and organisational strategy
Being a board member includes, but is not limited to:
● Attending quarterly board meetings
● Reading board paperwork provided by Framework Theatre staff ahead of board meetings
● Reviewing and approving Framework Theatre’s programme of activity
● Acting as an ambassador for Framework Theatre, communicating positively about the company and attending company events where possible
● Be collectively responsible for the success of Framework Theatre, supporting staff to carry out the strategic aims
Don’t worry if you’ve never been on a board before – board experience is not necessary & training will be provided if required. Being a board member is a voluntary role, although travel & access costs will be covered.
