New – JMK Nottingham

We’re delighted to announce a new addition to our National Programme partner venues – Nottingham Playhouse, where our JMK workshops will be delivered in partnership with their Amplify programme.

Our JMK programme with Amplify is free, and open to emerging and established directors who either live in or come from the East Midlands.

The programme is curated by JMK Director Practitioner Martin Berry, who also co-ordinates our programme at the Royal & Derngate and Birmingham Rep to encourage new collaborations across the Midlands.

Recent Opportunities:

Workshop with Adam Penford, Artistic Director of Nottingham Playhouse

Wednesday 11th December
6pm-8pm
Nottingham Playhouse
Cost: FREE

Our next free workshop for our Nottingham directors’ group will be led by Adam Penford, Artistic Director of Nottingham Playhouse.

This is the second event for our new directors’ group with Nottingham Playhouse (the first session was held in November but you can join at any time!). We are inviting directors and theatre-makers from the East Midlands interested in directing theatre to join the group for free ongoing talent development.

The group will:
• Create a hub for directors interested in making theatre.
• Provide access to exclusive workshop, training and development opportunities for directors and makers.
• Create a chance for directors and makers to meet regularly, to network and to share ideas both regionally and nationally.

If you’re interested in being part of the group and want to attend this second session, please email amplify@nottinghamplayhouse.co.uk and include a brief outline of your experience as a director/maker to date.

Please also email katherine@jmktrust.org to be added to our list of JMK Nottingham directors, to stay informed of upcoming events and opportunities for the group.
