*SPOTLIGHTS COMMITTEE ROLE APPLICATION – EXTERNAL VENUES REP*
Hello! Bristol Spotlights are looking for an External Venues Rep to join the lovely 2022-23 committee! If you’re passionate about the wider theatre scene in Bristol and want to help Spotlights branch out into the city, then this could be the perfect role for you!
Role Description:
External Venues Rep is in charge of booking all non-SU shows and maintaining the positive working relationships we have with these external venues. It is a great role if you are interested in the wider Bristol theatre scene, with the opportunity to look into new spaces and places to perform. It often involves working as a co-producer on external shows, sometimes completing risk assessments, and other documents needed by the venues’ administration. Knowledge of the local performing arts scene is useful, but not essential, you just need to be an efficient organiser and communicator, able to work with other committee members e.g. Treasurer, President, Producing Rep, to ensure the smooth running of external shows! Students from any year can run for this role.
To apply, please fill out the google form below! Deadline to apply is WEDNESDAY 1ST JUNE.
