We will recruit a Trainee Producer through an open call. Offering a new producer the opportunity to train in the engine room of field:arts.

Both opportunities are paid.

When it is safe to do so, we will establish an office space for all field:arts Producers, Artists and Companies to use. This will include hot desks, a meeting space, and a storage space for kit.
