Creative challenge for an extraordinary artist

Company Description

Immigrant Opera is a progressive theatre company with an ethical mission to help creative immigrants integrate into the UK cultural market. We aim to raise awareness about the effects of totalitarianism on humanity among the local public.

Immigrant

Opera provides a platform for artists previously censored by toxic governments, giving audiences firsthand insight into lives affected by war and dictatorship. We will be showcasing fresh immigrant talent and talking about issues like xenophobia, propaganda, polarisation of society and many others through the power of performative arts. We are working with a variety of local cultural organisations to make this an important and well endorsed event that will create employment opportunities and raise awareness. We are committed to supporting fair wages, inclusivity, and the appreciation of immigrant talent. Join me and my team in exploding London's contemporary theatre scene!

Role Description

I, Marria Roslova, am a creative visionary with extensive experience in putting together unforgettable events, growing communities and brands. Think biohazard scripted fashion shows with upcycled plastic cyberpunk clothes in collaboration with Stanislavsky theatre.

My new project is post-modern theatre with a very conceptual approach and a social mission. We are designing a new form of theatre that is immersive, involves real-life experiences, latest contemporary art, and gameplay. This is not simply a play, but also a platform to expose the issues of forced immigration, initiate discourse about totalitarian practices, and create agency among the public.

I want to create the ultimate cure for xenophobia. Expose the wound and ponder how to heal. Help hundreds of creatives secure careers and their immigration status, and help society integrate them peacefully.

I am not gonna lie – this is not a straightforward task. This is a mind boggle for a creative innovator. Together we will live through the pain and give birth to a unique project, a new form that sits somewhere between theatre, installation, participatory performance, documentary, game design and social experiment. Please only apply if you’re a freak avantguardist with a desire to make an impact, like myself.

At the moment we are at a very early stage of our development – raising the start capital, finalising the creative core team, and applying for grants. We are not currently able to offer immediate monetary compensation, however it is included in our budget and is to be paid upon securing the start capital. I am looking for fellow passionate individuals who strive to influence change towards a peaceful society.

I want to find my people, build this meaningful project, and enjoy the success and difference we make. I would like for my core team to eventually become partners.

This is the perfect opportunity to get involved in an exciting cultural startup with a philanthropic mission at an early stage, create alongside some whacko artists, have an outstanding social initiative career chapter and a fulfilling life experience.

We are looking for someone who has experienced living under totalitarian regimes firsthand. Someone who is not afraid to speak without softening their voice. Someone who is keen to deconstruct theatre as a concept and change lives.

Please send us your story, examples of your work and a paragraph on why you want to be at the heart of this project.
